RedactedNarrative: I noticed a white adult male subject standing on the bank at the bow on the starboard side.  I then noticed under the tree limbs a subject holding a map and placing it over an object in the boat.  As we came closer to the boat I then observed a black adult male subject sitting in the driver’s seat.  The black male got up and walked to the bow of the boat as we pulled up.  I then boarded the vessel and asked both subjects if they were ok and they stated “YES”.   After determining that neither subject was injured I asked who was operating the vessel.  The subject identified said that he was operating.  I could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from his persons.  At this time I started the BUI screening process.
  
  On July 14, 2014, I contacted Manager at Paradise Rental Boats at Port Royale Marina in Gainesville, Georgia.  I asked Manager if Operator had taken the Boating Safety on line course prior to renting the vessel.  Manager told me that Operator not only took the Power Boat Safety course (PB00049062) but the PWC Safety course (WR00049062) as well and passed both courses.  I asked Manager if he could email a copy of the courses Operator passed and he said “YES”.  I received by email a copy of both courses showing completed on July 7, 2014.
  
  On July 18, 2014, I contacted Operator by phone and told him that I needed to meet with him to get a statement on the boat accident from July 12, 2014.  I asked him where we could meet and he requested to meet at the Georgia Perimeter Mall in DeKalb County.  I told him that I would meet him and his friend at the parking lot of the Cheese Cake Factory around 1200 noon on July 21, 2014.
  
  On July 21, 2014, at 1200, I met with Operator and his father Attorney in the parking lot of the Cheese Cake Factory.  I read Operator the Miranda Warning and asked him if he would give me a statement of the event that took place on July 12, 2014.  He looked at pop and he stated that operator did should not make any statements at this time.  We had a casual talk about what happened and that at this time no more charges will be filed.  He (attorney) said sorry that I had to come out here for nothing.  I told him that was ok.  This was recorded on my State Vid-Mic.
  
  On July 21, 2014, I contacted Port Royale Marina and left him a message by phone and sent email that I had talked with Operator and for him to proceed with their actions in getting the vessel repaired.  It is assumed vessel grounded because of alcohol use and inexperience.
