RedactedNarrative: On Friday, August 30, 2019, at approximately 0945 hours, Corporal and I received a complaint from subject in reference to a possible boating incident just south of Pecan Slough on Lake Blackshear in Sumter County.  Subject1 stated a vessel had struck his dock last night and damaged his dock.  CPL. and I arrived on scene at approximately 1045 hours and made contact with Subject1.  Subject1 stated a neighbor may have heard some type of commotion between 0100 and 0130 hours.  The dock had damage to the railing and the floor.  The railing was nearly torn down.  CPL. and I observed markings where a tri hull vessel had run up on the dock.  There were three points of contact from the vessel’s hull along with grey paint transfer located on the edge of the dock.  Some of the damaged railing was missing and presumed to be in the water.  CPL. noticed several small grey/neon green/black paint chippings on the floor of the dock.  Subject2 stated he had picked up larger pieces of paint chippings off the dock.  The paint chippings were collected as evidence.  Subject2 stated he possibly knew who had hit the dock and there was a green and grey vessel located across the lake.  Photographs of the damaged dock were taken as evidence.  
  
  At approximately 1300 hours, CPL. and I searched by patrol vessel and located the suspected green and grey vessel, in Crisp County tied to a dock.  The vessel had a registration of GA 7588GK.  We noticed damage consistent with a vessel striking a dock from our patrol vessel.  We noticed torn spots on the top cushions located on the bow of the vessel.  We noticed wood imprinted in a screw located on the bow of the vessel along with splintered wood inside of the vessel.  Several scratches and markings could be observed on the front hull off the vessel, just above the water line.  The grey/neon green/black paint chippings recovered from the damaged dock appeared to be consistent with the vessel’s grey/neon green/black coloring.  The vessel’s damage was photographed from our patrol vessel.     
  
  CPL. and I made contact with the owner of the vessel at approximately 1840 hours.  While speaking with Operator1 about the damage to his vessel, he said the damage was already there.  CPL. asked Operator1, if anybody was at the house or had driven the boat last night, Operator1 stated, “No sir I was by myself.”  CPL. got consent to board the vessel with Operator1 and found a wood chip consistent with wood chips from the damaged dock located in the front of the vessel.  The wood chip was collected as evidence.  Operator1 stated he was on the vessel until “about 10 or 11ish, somewhere about there”, on Thursday evening, August 29, 2019.  
  
  CPL. made contact with Subject1 in reference to approximate damage to the dock.  Damage to the dock is estimated between $4,000 and $4,500.  
  
  On September 22, 2019, at 1820 hours, CPL. and I made contact with Operator1 at his residence.  Operator1 was issued citations for failure to render assistance at boat accident, reckless operation of a vessel or other water device and operate vessel 100’ of object/shore above idle speed.
