RedactedNarrative: On September 18th at 10:54 P.M., Senior Agent (S/A) was notified of a boat incident by St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s office. S/A   arrived on scene where he learned the operator of the vessel was Operator. He was the only subject on board. S/A was notified by St. Martin Sheriff’s Deputy that Operator was already in route to our lady of the lake hospital in Baton Rouge and they secured his vessel in a safe area off of highway 70. On September 19th S/A made contact with operator at Our Lady of the lake hospital. He stated he was traveling in Belle River where he struck a submerged object in the water which caused his engine to torque to starboard, tiller handle to break, and put him in a spin in a circular motion. He attempted to stop the vessel but could not. 
  
  He cut his hand, jumped out of the vessel, and swam to a nearby dock where he got the owners to call 911. Operator stated he was wearing the cutoff lanyard, was not wearing a personal flotation device, and did not have any navigation lights on at the time of incident. S/A and Cpl. went back to the location to assess the vessel damages further during daylight hours. Agents located a bag containing an unknown type of “gummy type candy” in an unmarked zip lock bag, an alcoholic beverage, and a Styrofoam cup that previously contained an unknown type of alcoholic beverage. This incident is still under investigation.
