RedactedNarrative: On 08/16/2014 at approximately 1900 hours, I Officer1 and Corporal of The Maryland Natural Resources Police received a call from DNR Communications about a boat accident that occurred near the boat ramp at Big Slackwater on the Potomac River. Officer1 and Corporal arrived on scene at approximately 1915 hours, and observed a subject later identified as Operator leaning against a boat trailer with individuals around him. EMS was called and arrived on scene before Officer1 and Corporal. Officer1 spoke with operator. He advised he had no recollection of the accident, other than a bump on the back of his head. Officer1 spoke with two witnesses. Both observed Operator pull his Jet Ski onto the boat ramp. They advised they were at the boat ramp and observed a subject pull his Jet Ski to the ramp and fall into the water. They helped Operator to his feet and he stated “ What the hell happened”. 
  
  Officer1 observed Operator as being very confused and failed to answer any basic questions about the accident. Officer1 observed Operator had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breathe and person. The odor of an alcoholic beverage was stronger when he spoke. Officer1 observed Operator had bloodshot, droopy, and glassy eyes. Operator's face was flushed and lacked muscle tone. Operator was not asked to perform standarized field sobriety tests because of his head injury, lack of memory of the accident and EMS Personnel tending to him. Officer1 observed Operator's Jet Ski on his trailer with WV Registration 7994Y which had damage to the front and side of the Jet Ski. The Jet Ski had a chunk missing out of the front and cracks along the gunnel. See attached photographs. In the front compartment of the Jet Ski , Officer1 observed 5 empty Bud Light beer cans. The back compartment of the Jet Ski had 3 full bud light's and 1 empty Bud light beer can. Inside vehicle, Officer1 observed a case of bud light in plain view on the back seat. 
  
  Officer1 called the Hagerstown State Police Barrack and had a Trooper and Officer2 of The Maryland Natural Resources Police meet him at the hospital with a blood kit to test the subject’s alcohol concentration. Officer1 arrived at Meritus Hospital and read Operator his Advice of Rights. Operator refused to sign the Advice of Rights form without a lawyer present. Operator refused a blood test to determine his alcohol concentration. Operator was still being treated at the hospital after Officer1 left for precautions from a minor head injury. Officer1 issued the following citations. 
  
  Charges: 
  NR 8-738 (A)(1) Did operate vessel under the influence of alcohol 
  NR 8 738(A)(2) Did operate vessel while impaired by alcohol 
  NR 8 738 (A)(3) Did operate vessel while impaired by any drug, or combination of drugs and alcohol. 
  
  Operator refused to sign the Citations that I issued to him.  Due to alchol or possible injuries and lack of witnesses seeing anything we are unable to determine if he fell off the pwc before hitting dock;
