RedactedNarrative: On July 20th, 2019 at approximately 21:00 hours CST, I, Officer, was dispatched to a two vessel collision occurring around the mouth of Beaver and Otter Creeks on Lake Cumberland in Russell County, Kentucky.  Vessel 1, HIN (LAR510501798) and accompanied by one passenger.  Operator1 was traveling east from the Wolf Creek Dam when he collided with Vessel 2, HIN (TNRD6952H708). Vessel 2 was operated and was also accompanied by one passenger. Vessel 2 was traveling west bound towards the Wolf Creek Dam when the collision occurred with Vessel 1. Vessel 1 struck Vessel 2 on the starboard bow just before aft and became intertwined with the bow of Vessel 1 inside the cabin of Vessel 2. 
  
  Once on scene, I made contact with Operator2 briefly to assess the situation. Operator2 advised that he was traveling in the middle of the lake at a low rate of speed, approximately 2000 RPM, when he saw a boat coming at him head on. Operator2 then stated, he brought the boat to neutral, Vessel 1 maneuvered away from him at first but then immediately altered course back into the path of his vessel before striking the starboard bow/aft of his vessel. When questioned if anyone onboard needed medical attention, Operator2 advised that they did not. Operator2’s main concern at this point was that the other operator of Vessel appeared to be intoxicated. Operator2 stated that he was more than willing to take any sobriety test that he had not consumed any alcohol. 
  
  I then made contact with Operator1 and asked if his wife or himself needed medical attention. Operator1 advised that they did not but were shaken up from what had occurred. I could smell a strong odor of what appeared to be alcoholic beverage coming from the vessel. When questioned about the operator of the vessel at the time of the collision both both stated Operator1 was. I instructed Operator1 to put on a PFD and that I would be performing standard field sobriety test (SFST) on him.  SFSTs concluded that Operator1 showed multiple clues of impairment on all tests administered. A portable breath test (PBT) indicated the presence of alcohol at a BAC level of .154. Operator1 was placed under arrest for operating a vessel under the influence of alcohol, wanton endangerment 1st degree, and motorboats to be registered and numbered.
  
  Operator2 stated that he was travelling in the middle of the channel at a low rate of speed when he first noticed a vessel coming directly at his vessel. He stated that he yelled for his wife who was below the helm in the cabin of the vessel. Once she came to the helm of the vessel she stated to stop the boat that they were going to be hit. Operator2 at that time went to neutral and ran towards the stern of the vessel to brace for impact. Operator2 stated the vessel was hit on the starboard side an Vessel 1 became stuck in the nose of their vessel. Operator2 then stated he checked on his wife and once he realized they were ok yelled over to Vessel 2, “how could you hit my boat we were in the middle of the lake”. Operator2 stated the only response Operator1 could come up with was, “I saw your light I just don’t know.” Operator2 stated, directly after the collision Operator1 and wife were then trying to gather up cans and clean up. He stated he told them to not worry about picking up beer cans his boat was sinking. 
  
  Once in custody Operator1 stated he was experiencing chest pains and would like to seek medical treatment.  Sgt. transported Operator1 to the Jamestown Marina to meet EMS. At this point both Operator1 and wife requested to be checked out by a physician.
