RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, June 29, 2019 at roughly 17:20 hours, Officer and I were leaving the Nick’s Marina area on Rough River Lake heading towards the North Fork portion of the Lake. A vessel that was coming from the North Fork area heading into the no wake zone of Nick’s Marina, was trying to get our attention before we left the area. The driver of the vessel, Operator2, stated that a jet ski in the Galloway Hollow area, of the lake, had struck one of his passengers, V2 occupant. V2 occupant was in the back of the vessel with passengers holding a towel on her head, she was complaining of head pains, and stated that a jet ski hit her in the head when she was in the water. I told them to head to Nick’s Marina and that I would call EMS to check her out. 
  
  Once at Nick’s, Officer and I obtained the information of parties on the vessel, and waited for EMS to arrive. V2 occupant was given an ice pack and cold water; she was alert and did not have any other visible signs of injury. 
  
  V2 occupant then stated that she was water skiing around the Galloway Hollow portion of the North Fork in the lake, when she fell off the skis and was floating in the water a Jet Ski was coming towards her, she held up the water skis and the Jet Ski hit the skis, which then hit her in the head. She could not guess how fast he was traveling, but that it did push her under the water for a few seconds. Operator2 stated that he yelled at the Jet Ski operator to stop, and for him to come back, Operator2 guessed that the operator was intoxicated. 
  
  When the Jet Ski came back, both parties had an verbal altercation about if she should have been water skiing in that area. A few passengers on Operator2’s vessel were able to take pictures of the Jet Ski operator and was able to obtain majority of his registration (KY 0462T). When EMS arrived (roughly 17:46), V2 occupant refused medical treatment, and I informed Operator2 and V2 occupant that Officer and I would travel to the location and look for the Jet Ski.
  
  At roughly 18:32, we located a Jet Ski in the Galloway Hollow area with registration tag of KY 0462 YT parked in a slip just below the address of 96 Lake Forest Lane. I contacted Breckinridge County Dispatch through the county radio and requested a deputy to drive to that location (which the registration tag came back to that address) while Officer and I tried to find a location to tie up our vessel and access by foot. I also gave the deputies a description of the Jet Ski operator from the photographs that were taken from Operator2’s vessel.
  
  Once at the address, the Breckinridge County deputies said that the subject matching the description was inside the house and getting clothes to come outside. Operator1 came out from the residence and matched the description the witnesses gave as well as the pictures from the phone. Operator1 appeared intoxicated, I could smell presence of an alcoholic beverage on his breath and he was slurring his words when asking him questions about operating the Jet Ski parked just below the residence. Operator1 admitted to driving the Jet Ski and hitting V2 occupant, he stated that he did not see her, and was trying to avoid other vessels in the area. 
  
  He also stated that he did stop and ask if she was okay and when he saw that she was not injured, they said they wanted his picture. Operator1 claimed that he did not follow them back to the marina, because they told him that V2 occupant was fine. I then asked how long he had been drinking, Operator1 stated that as soon as he got back to the residence he felt so bad about the situation that he began to drink heavily, but he was not intoxicated during the incident. I requested a PBT reading to get an idea of the presence of alcohol in his system, the PBT reading was .218, and Operator1 said he drank vodka when he got back to the residence. I then placed Operator1 under arrest for fail to render aid and operating vessel in reckless manner, I rode with the Breckinridge County deputy who transported him to the detention center.
  
  On Tuesday July 9, 2019, I received a phone call from V2 occupant who was requesting information to file civil charges on Operator1, she informed me that the water ski that she used to protect herself that day was damaged beyond repair and was valued at roughly $600. She then stated that she went to the doctor’s office to have further treatment due to tightness in her head, the doctor determined it was due from a mild concussion she suffered, but there were no further injuries.
