RedactedNarrative: On Monday, 5-30-2016, Sgt. and I were conducting a vessel patrol on the Flint River in Decatur County. At approximately 1720 hours, Sgt. and I were notified by GSP dispatch of a boat incident that occurred on the Flint River at Reynold’s sandbar. 
  
  Sgt. and I arrived at the incident location and made contact with subject who stated that a male subject operating a PWC ran into his vessel while it was anchored next to the sandbar. V1 owner stated that no one was on his vessel when it was hit by the PWC. He said he was not at the scene when the incident occurred, but he was notified by phone when his vessel was damaged. V1 owner’s vessel is a white and blue fiberglass Supra, with 130 horse power inboard/outboard motor. The registration numbers displayed on the vessel is GA6389EM.
  
  While talking to V1 owner, I was contacted by the operator of the PWC. I interviewed Operator2 and asked how the incident occurred. Operator2 said he was headed south on the river, returning to the sandbar. He stated that as he turned towards the sandbar, he realized he was too close, but could not stop in time to avoid hitting the vessel. He stated that he tried to turn, and put the PWC in reverse, but he could not control it. The PWC struck V1 owner’s vessel on the port gunwale, approximately mid-way between the seating area and the bow. 
  
  I asked him if he knew of any mechanical problem with the PWC, and he answered, “No, there were no problems.” Operator2 was operating a blue and white fiberglass SEADOO, PWC, with a registration number GA0369ZL. The PWC was not damaged in this incident and there were no injuries reported. It was determined during my investigation that Operator2 was operating the PWC above idle speed, near an anchored vessel. Operator2 was cited for OCGA 52-7-8, Operating PWC above Idle Speed within 100’ Of Object in the water
