RedactedNarrative: On 8/20/2017 at approximately 1830 hours this Officer responded to Lee's Marina on the North East River for a boat accident.  The owner/operator of "About Time" MD 2587 BP, a 30ft Cruisers yacht struck the side of a docked vessel while he was docking  According to eye witnesses, Operator2 was backing into his slip, number 26, at the North East Marina and then drove forward and stuck the starboard side of "Essex Villers" MD 6397 BG a 28ft Chaparral yacht.  V1 owner was standing on the dock behind his vessel at slip A-13, when Operator2 struck his vessel.  V1 owner then observed Operator2 reverse his vessel and then drive forward again striking the same place on the starboard side a second time.  At this point Operator2 was able to reverse his vessel into his slip and secure his dock lines.  V1 owner's vessel sustained a broken side window, bent cleat and possible structural hull damage from the impact.
  
   A verbal argument took place across the fairway between V1 owner and Operator2 and according to V1 owner and another eye witness, Operator2 was intoxicated.  V1 owner instructed Operator2 to come over to his dock and Operator2 complied.  Operator2 was asked how much alcohol he had consumed he replied "Too much".  Operator2 did provide his name, address, insurance information and driver's license number but not his phone number or vessel information to V1 owner, as required by state regulation.  V1 owner and Witness told Operator2 at least four times that he had to stay until the Maryland Natural Resources Police arrived however Operator2 got in a Silver BMW 700 series and left the scene.   
  
   When officer's arrived on scene and found that Operator2 had left the scene a BOLO was sent out through MSP.  Operator2 was not located.   Based on eye witness statements it is possible Operator2 was intoxicated while operating a vessel however there is not sufficient evidence to charge Operator2 with this offense.  It is this officers opinion based upon his training, knowledge and experience there is probable cause to charge Operator2 with operating a vessel in a Reckless or Dangerous Manner and with Negligent and Reckless boating based upon the facts that the first time Operator2 struck V1 owner's vessel it would be considered Negligent boating since it was unintentional.  However the second time Operator2 struck V1 owner's vessel he had the option of stopping the vessel and assessing the situation but he drove into V1 owner's vessel again and therefore considered intentional and thus Reckless boating.
