RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated in Effect:  I wasn't driving the boat.  My friend was driving and left before you got here.
  
  Witness #1 Stated in Effect:  "I observed two white males arguing on that boat.  The operator was driving erratically and struck the 20ft Robalo that was docked.  When I asked which of the two white males were operating the vessel in question he said the taller, skinnier one with no beard and not wearing a hat." 
  
  Witness #2 Stated in Effect:  "I was driving into my dock slip at Flash Marina and I observed that boat occupied by two white males strike that Robalo.  The one without the hat was driving."
  
  Witness #3 Stated in Effect:  "I was driving into the dock slip at Flash Marina and observed that boat occupied by two white males strike that Robalo.  I also over heard the one male tell the police that there was a third person on their boat that was driving but that was not true."
  
  Investigation at Scene Revealed:  Upon arrival to the scene I observed two white males on the shoreline on Flash Marina.  One had a large build with a beard and was wearing a hat.  The other had a medium build with no beard and was not wearing a hat.  When I asked about the damage to their boat they said neither one of them were driving.  When I asked who was driving they said another friend but he left.  Neither of the two males were able to provide any contact information about this friend.  In addition, all witness statements stated that there were only two white males in the vessel.  Operator #1 was determined by witness statements and my observations at the scene.  Vessel #1 was traveling eastbound in Lake Hopatcong in front of Flash Marina.  Vessel #2 was legally docked in Flash Marina dock slip #208 facing southbound by the registered owner.  Operator #1 lost control of V1 while attempting to dock and struck rear portion of V2 causing damage to the lower portion of the skeg of the outboard motor.  No injuries sustained as a result of this accident.  Two additional summonses were later issued to operator #1.
