RedactedNarrative: On August 2, 2017, I, Corporal, Department of Natural Resources - Law Enforcement Division, Critical Incident Reconstruction Team member (DNR LED CIRT) received information about a boating incident that occurred on Lake Yonah on, or just before, July 29th, 2017.  I was told Ranger (DNR LED) and Sergeant (DNR LED) responded to the incident on August 1, 2017.   Ranger told me no one had reported the boating incident when it had occurred or within the required 48 hours.  Ranger said RFC (DNR LED) had received information from a concerned citizen who was not involved in the incident. (See supplemental report).  
  
  On August 3, and August 7, 2017, I received emails from mother including witness statements from her, operator, father, and the two occupants.   
  
  On August 18, 2017, I assisted Ranger by serving a search warrant for Operator’s blood at Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) in Gainesville, GA.  I was told by medical staff, blood was taken on Operator, but it was disposed of due to no one placing a hold on it within 5 days.
  
  On August 22, 2017, Ranger and I served a search warrant for Operator’s medical records at Corporate Plaza, in Gainesville, where the NGMC stores their hospital records.  I received Operator’s medical records.  (See Medical Records; Certificate of Authenticity).  I reviewed Operator’s medical records; they stated Operator was admitted on July 29, 2017, and was discharged on August 2, 2017.  The records documented Operator (23 year old) was the operator involved in a boating accident while intoxicated.  Operator subsequently ran the vessel on to shore causing his body to hit the steering wheel.  
  
  Operator received a hepatic laceration, a large deep laceration on his left lower shin, and multiple superficial and deep abrasions involving face, chest and abdomen.  Operator had a concussion with loss of consciousness (less than 30 minutes), a puncture wound to the right hand, right renal laceration, lactic acidosis, acute alcohol intoxication, acute blood loss - anemia (expected).  On July 29, 2017 at 0150 hours, after the incident, Operator’s blood alcohol concentration was taken and reported at .194 grams. (See medical records). 
  
  On September 1, 2017, I applied and received arrest warrants for Operator for boating under the influence and failure to report boating accident within 48 hours.
  
  On September 3, 2017, I contacted Operator and advised him warrants were taken out for his arrest for boating under the influence and failure to report boating accident within 48 hours.  For his convenience, I told him he could turn himself in to the Habersham County Detention Center (HCDC) in Clarkesville, GA by September 11, 2017.
  
  On September 8, 2017, I spoke with them and the Sergeant in charge at the jail.  I assisted the Sgt. with information on Operator and answered questions from his parents.
  
  Based on the physical evidence at the scene, the statements from DNR LED Rangers, witness statements, videos, and photographs the facts show that on, or around midnight, on Friday, July 28, or early, Saturday July 29, 2017, operator was operating his parents 2016, 21’ Mastercraft Ski boat on Lake Yonah with three occupants on board the vessel.  A thunderstorm approached the lake and they dropped a friendout at their house and were headed back to Operator’s residence.  Operator wrecked the vessel on a point in Habersham County on Lake Yonah.
