RedactedNarrative: On 08/16/2020 at approximately 1734 hours, The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office responded to an emergency call in reference to a sinking boat near Horse Island at the Lake Pleasant Regional Park Peoria, Arizona. 
  
  Prior to arrival, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office advised there was a white boat sinking and there were people in the water. At this time, the Lake Pleasant Regional Park was being hit by a storm. There was severe rain and wind causing approximately 6-foot swells. 
  
  Officers responded to the area aboard Lake Patrol Boat 39. Upon arriving in the area, we located two females standing on the southern point of Horse Island. When we contacted the females, they advised they were okay and did not have any injuries. They advised us the boat they were on had continued south during the storm. They also said no one else was in the water.  We had them remain on the shore and told them to stay away from the water, until we could return to rescue them. We left to locate the watercraft and any other people that needed to be rescued. 
  
  We located the boat that the females were on along the shoreline at Buzzards Neck. There were several people on the shore and several people on the watercraft. The watercraft was bearing Arizona registration numbers. We advised everyone who was not wearing a life jacket to put one on and we would return to get them and return them to a safer location. 
  
  We returned to Horse Island and had the two females get aboard our watercraft. Once they were safely on our watercraft and wearing life jackets, we returned to the pontoon boat to get some of them to a safer location. As we approached the pontoon boat, a female wearing a tan bathing suit fell over the side of the boat and into the water. 
  
  The female went under water and didn''t come back up for several seconds. We were able to grab hold of her and pull her head above the water. She was eventually pulled aboard our watercraft. Several other people were removed the pontoon boat and put aboard the Lake Patrol Boat. I remained on the shore and assisted putting life jackets on the remaining occupants while other officers transported a group of people to the Pleasant Harbor North Ramp where they were met the Peoria Fire Department and other deputies. 
  
  We came back to Buzzards Neck and got the remaining passengers and I. We again transported the remaining people to the boat ramp. Deputies at the boat ramp gathered everyone's contact information. None of the passengers had injuries from the collision. 
  The pontoon boat was later removed by the owner. 
  
  On 081/17/2020 I contacted each of the passengers by telephone. I conducted interviews with several people in attempt to find out what occurred during the incident. I was only able to get ahold of a couple of the passengers. When speaking with them, each of them said, they were in the main bay swimming around the watercraft. They storm started to pick up and the boat started to drift away from them. They began swimming to the boat and were able to get one. Two of the girls were not able to swim to the boat as it was too far away. The boat operator attempted to turn the boat around to get them, but the storm was pushing them farther and farther away. They ended up against the shoreline where we found them. When asked, each one of them said OPERATOR 1 was the operator of the watercraft. I was able to get ahold of OPERATOR 1. There was no other information provided to me and I was unable to contact everyone involved.
