RedactedNarrative: ON JUNE 4, 2022, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:36 HOURS, I, INDIANA CONSERVATION OFFICER 1 AND INDIANA CONSERVATION OFFICER 2 WERE ON BOAT PATROL AT BROOKVILLE RESERVOIR IN A FULLY MARKED PATROL VESSEL. I WAS DISPATCHED TO A NON-INJURY BOAT ACCIDENT THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED AT QUAKERTOWN MARINA. I NOTIFIED DISPATCH I WAS EN ROUTE.      
  OFFICER 2 AND I ARRIVED ON SCENE AT AN APPROXIMATELY 13:00 HOURS AND DOCKED OUR PATROL BOAT. I EXITED MY PATROL VESSEL AND WAS MET BY THE SUBJECTS WHO CALLED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT (OP1 and PAX1). THEY IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS THE OWNERS OF THE BOAT THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT. THEY PROVIDED A COPY OF THEIR INSURANCE. I GATHERED THEIR LICENSE AND BOAT INFORMATION AND NOTIFIED DISPATCH. THEY WERE OPERATING A CREST SAVANNAH HPT PONTOON-STYLE BOAT, WITH REGISTRATION NUMBER AND HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. ON THE BOW (FRONT RIGHT) PONTOON OF THE BOAT, I COULD SEE SMALL CUT IN THE ALUMINUM AND BLACK COLORED PAINT. OFFICER 2 BEGAN TO GATHER PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE TO EACH BOAT.      
  I OBTAINED A STATEMENT FROM OP1, WHO WAS THE OPERATOR OF THE PONTOON. HE STATED: “I HAD JUST LAUNCHED THE BOAT AND MY OIL ALARM CAME ON.” HE SAID THAT HE STOPPED THE BOAT AND MOVED TOWARDS THE MOTOR TO INSERT MORE TWO CYCLE OIL INTO THE OIL RESERVOIR. AS HE DID, OP1 SAID THAT A COUPLE OF GUYS ON A DOCK STARTED YELLING: “HEY YOU CAN'T PARK THERE” AND WAVING THEIR ARMS. OP1 ALSO STATED: “THE MOTOR WAS TURNED, AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE MOTOR HAD TURNED.” HE SAID THAT HE PLACED THE MOTOR INTO THE FORWARD GEAR AND THE BOAT BEGAN TO TRAVEL FORWARD. THE BOAT BEGAN TO TRAVEL TO THE STARBOARD SIDE (RIGHT) IN A FORWARD MOTION. AS THE BOAT TRAVELED FORWARD THE FRONT RIGHT PONTOON CONTACTED A 2022 GODFREY SWEET WATER PONTOON STYLE BOAT WHO IS OWNED BY OWNER 2. THE BOAT ITSELF DID NOT HAVE ANY DAMAGE. THE MERCURY 150 HORSEPOWER MOTOR SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE LOWER COWL. OP1 DOCKED HIS BOAT AND CALLED 911 TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT.      
  QUAKERTOWN MARINA EMPLOYEES INFORMED ME THAT THE OWNER OF THE DAMAGED BOAT MOTOR WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND ON VACATION. I WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE OWNER 2’s INSURANCE INFORMATION FROM QUAKERTOWN MARINA. QUAKERTOWN MARINA WAS GOING TO CONTACT OWNER 2 AND INFORM HER OF THE INCIDENT ONCE SHE RETURNED FROM VACATION.      
  A SHORT TIME LATER, OFFICER 2 AND I LEFT THE SCENE.      
  ON JUNE 6, 2022 AT APPROXIMATELY 1330 HOURS I CONTACTED OWNER 2 VIA CELL PHONE. SHE INFORMED ME SHE WAS AWARE OF THE CRASH. OWNER 2 TOLD ME BOTH INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE MADE CONTACT AND THE BOAT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. I INFORMED HER THE CRASH REPORT NUMBER AND HOW TO REQUEST A COPY OF THE REPORT.
