RedactedNarrative: On july 3, 2016, at approximately 9:30pm, a boat struck a dock.  On the dock were three witnesses who saw the boat coming towards them.  The witnesses saw the boat coming and got out of the way when the boat (vessel 1) struck the dock.
  
  The witnesses were only a few feet away from the impact.  Witnesses described the operator of vessel 1 as a white male in his 50's.  The operator was wearing a blue polo and khaki pants according to witnesses at 3111 sunset drive.  Witnesses told the operator of vessel 1 to stay there because they were calling the police.  The operator of vessel 1 left the scene and proceeded up the icw towards spooners creek.  
  
  At approximately 10:00pm, vessel 1 struck the docks at the bluffs housing.  According to the witnesses at the bluffs, vessel 1 hit the dock at approximately 40 mph.  Vessel number 1 hit the dock at high tide causing the vessel to go airborne in a forward motion.  At the moment of impact with the docks, the operator of the vessel was ejected from the vessel.  The vessel went approximately 130 feet in the air in a forward motion till it hit the end of the docks at the bluffs once again.  The vessel took out a couple of pilings at the bluffs after its initial impact.  After the vessel struck the dock, the vessel continued with no operator onboard.  The vessel made a wide turn in the icw and made a turn towards morehead city.  The vessel then made a turn towards the shore just east of the docks at the bluffs.
  
  The vessel then struck the seawall at the bluffs sending it airborne once again.  The vessel went airborne and went through a group of trees and went approximately 50 feet till it came to a complete stop.
  
  Witnesses at the bluffs went to rescue the operator and turned off the motor on the vessel.  At that time, ems and police were called to the scene.  The operator only suffered a minor cut that did not need any first aid.  Once i, officer, arrived, i asked subject if he could do some field sobriety.
