RedactedNarrative: On 5-25-2019 at 14:00 hours I Game Warden and Corporal responded to a call of a sinking vessel in the Sugar Creek area of Lake Oconee. CPL and GW also responded to the incident.
  
  When we arrived on scene the vessel in question was at the Sugar Creek Boat Ramp. As the boat was being loaded on to a trailer, I began to question the Owner Operator of the vessel. Operator showed no signs of intoxication.
  
  Operator stated that he had been driving the vessel in the area of Sugar Creek behind the Hazardous Area buoys when the vessel struck an object under the water's surface. Operator then stated that once the vessel struck the object that he immediately shut down On 5-25-2019 at 14:00 hours I Game Warden and Corporal responded to a call of a sinking vessel in the Sugar Creek area of Lake Oconee.

  Subject stated that he had been driving the vessel in the area of Sugar Creek behind the Hazardous Area buoys when the vessel struck an object under the water's surface. Subject then stated that once the vessel struck the object that he immediately shut down the throttle on the vessel. Subject stated that the vessel would not move under its own power after the incident. Subject stated that they then began pulling out life jackets for everyone on board and began waving down passing boats for assistance. Subject told me that they were towed into the boat ramp by an unknown person on a jet ski. 
  
  
  Once the vessel was on the trailer I could see that the hull of the vessel was cracked where the bottom of the vessel and the transom meet. I estimate the damage to be over $2000.00 in repairs.
