  On 05/29/2021, at about 05:00 p.m., these two vessels were cruising in the center of Lake Mayfield, near “Party Cove”, located near Mossyrock, WA in Lewis county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, both vessels were heading South from what is called “Party Cove” on Lake Mayfield towards the boat ramp, with V1 well ahead of V2.  As V1 was heading towards V2, the Operator of V1, V1 Operator, had been revving the motor from a neutral position forward and was not paying attention to the location of V2.  As a result, V1 to ran into the port side of V2 causing damage.  
  
  The Operator of V1, V1 Operator, was placed, un-handcuffed, into the back seat of a patrol vehicle.  V1 Operator was asked if he would be willing to participate in standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs), as he had been onshore for over the required waiting period of 15 minutes before doing SFSTs on land.  V1 Operator initially stated that he would and was asked to exit the patrol vehicle, walk in front of it and meet the Officer.
  
  Once V1 Operator had exited the patrol vehicle, he told Officers that he was not the driver of the vessel and that they had no reason to detain him.  He then told Officers that he was not going to participate with SFSTs.  Officers then asked V1 Operator if he would provide a sample of his breath for a portable breath test, advising him this was voluntary.  V1 Operator declined to provide a sample of his breath.  He further stated that we had nothing on him, and we needed to let him go. 
  
  At this time, Officers advised V1 Operator that he was under arrest for Boating Under the Influence.  He was advised to place his hands behind his back where he was handcuffed, which were checked for proper fit and circulation prior to double locking them.  An Officer read V1 Operator his Miranda Warnings from a department-issued Miranda card and asked if he wanted to speak with an attorney before speaking with him further.
  
  V1 Operator was transported to the Lewis County Jail and advised of his Miranda Warnings.  He requested to speak with an Attorney.  After speaking with an Attorney, V1 Operator agreed to move forward with the BAC process.  
  
  Upon completion of the BAC process, V1 Operator was cited and released for RCW 79A.60.040.2, Operating a Vessel Under the Influence.
