RedactedNarrative: On 09/28/2021 at approximately 9:00 P.M., I, Conservation Police Officer, was on routine patrol with CPO near Winnebago, IL.
  I was notified by Illinois State Police Dispatch Sterling of a boat crash that occurred on the Rock River at the Verdi Club boat dock with no injuries.
  At approximately 9:30 P.M., myself and CPO arrived on scene with Rockford Police Department and ISP Trooper Randel. The officers advised
  they had just arrived and had not spoke to the operator. I observed Vessel 1, a pontoon boat, was sitting on top of a Crownline boat, Vessel 2, and the
  floating dock. I also observed Vessel 1 had struck the port side of another pontoon boat, Vessel 3. I observed damage to Vessel 2 and Vessel 3. (See
  photographs).
  I spoke with the Verdi Club manager, who stated the owner of Vessel 1,
  and provided me with a phone number. He stated the crash occurred at approximately 8:20 P.M. He stated he did not observe the crash but stated that
  individual along with two females were on the boat. He stated that he had fallen overboard and was soaking wet. he stated that no one was injured in
  the crash. He stated that they had waited on scene for approximately 45 minutes for police to arrive. He stated they left after 45 minutes and went
  home to change his wet clothes after no police arrived. I called his and left a message. At approximately 10:30 P.M., I drove to his house and
  knocked on his door. I could not tell if anyone was home and he did not answer the door. On 09/29/2021, I spoke with him over the phone. he
  advised no one was injured in the crash. I informed him I would need to meet with him in person.
   On 10/01/2021, I met with him at his residence. He stated he was on the boat, Vessel 1, with his friend and
  her other friend. He stated he did not know the other girl, but her nickname was Boo. He stated he was attempting to dock Vessel 1 at the Verdi
  Club boat dock and jumped onto the dock to tie the boat off. He stated as he jumped off Vessel 1, it began to float away, so he told the other females to
  put the boat in neutral. He stated one of the females throttled Vessel 1 all the way forward and launched it over the boat dock and collided with Vessel 2
  and 3. In the processes, He said he was thrown into the water as Vessel 1's engine continued to run. He stated he was pulled from the water. He stated he climbed on board and turned Vessel 1 off. He provided a written statement. (See
  Attachment).
  I spoke with witness on the phone who confirmed he pulled him from the water. He stated he did not see the actual crash. He stated operator and
  another female he did not recognize were on scene. He stated the female he did not know stated the crash was her fault.
  I spoke with the owners of Vessel 2 and 3, and informed
  them their boats had been involved in an accident.
  On 10/4/2021, I spoke with witness 2 who stated her friend, was also on the boat with her and witness 2. He stated the three
  of them went for a boat ride, with he driving the boat. She stated she was in the front of the boat on her phone. She stated when they
  approached the dock, He got out of the driver seat and went to the back of the boat to try to tie the boat up, which wasn't close enough to the dock.
  She stated either he or operator got into the driver seat and threw it into drive. The boat ended up on the dock and he was thrown into the water.
