RedactedNarrative: On september 10, 2019, at approximately 2:00 pm, the white county communications center received a call in reference to a property damage boat crash on lake shafer.  Subject1 advised that a pontoon boat had struck another pontoon boat that was on a boat lift and then left the scene.  Subject1 advised that the suspect pontoon boat was traveling downstream when it struck the other pontoon boat on the lift.  The suspect pontoon boat then turned around and left the area traveling back up stream.  The suspect pontoon boat was kind of a maroon color and possibly had a greenish bimini top.  The suspect pontoon boat was occupied by two males.  It should be noted that subject1 did not witness the crash or the suspect pontoon.  Subject1 had received his information from another neighbor.  White county sheriff's deputies responded to the scene to meet with subject1, subject2 and search the area for the suspect pontoon boat.  The deputies were unable to locate the suspect pontoon.  They gathered information and left that information for me.
       on september 13, i picked up the information that was gathered from the crash at the white county communications center.  I then proceeded to the location of the crash on lake shafer.  When i arrived at the crash scene, i was met by the damaged pontoon boat owner who walked me out to the boat lift and showed me the damage to the pier and the boat.  It appears that the suspect pontoon boat struck the pier before it struck the pontoon boat on the lift.  Based on what i saw at the scene, it appears that the suspect pontoon boat struck the pier with it's front left pontoon.  The suspect boat then continued down stream and struck the motor of the pontoon boat on the lift.  The force of the collision pushed the back of the pontoon boat on the lift into the poles supporting the lift.  There was damage in three different areas of the right side of the boat and the front left corner of the boat from hitting the poles, along with damage to the motor and pier.  There did not appeared to be any damage to poles other than paint being removed from the boat making contact with them.  I took photographs of the scene.  I left my contact information with hope and left the scene.
       on september 14, 2019, i contacted some different marinas in the area.  I advised them of the boat description i was given.  I advised them of the possible damage on the suspect pontoon.  I asked them to contact me if anyone contacts them needing repairs that match the suspect boat description and possible damage.
