RedactedNarrative: On April 28th, 2019, I, Game Warden, a Georgia POST certified Peace Officer with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Law Enforcement Division, Region 1 Acworth along with Game Warden Corporal, was contacted by GSP dispatch in reference to a boat accident on Allatoona Lake near Gault’s Ferry. GSP said both vessels were trailered and Cherokee County Sheriff’s office was on scene. 
  
  Cpl. \ and I arrived on scene and I proceeded to talk to the PWC operator. Operator1 said his truck was hit in the parking lot and a witness told him the boat floating near the boat launch may have been involved. Operator1 launched his PWC and headed towards them. Operator1 said he took pictures of the vessel in case they were involved. Operator1 said the operator of the other vessel was irate and was yelling at him. After a few moments, the other vessel accelerated and hit the starboard stern of Operator1 PWC.
  
  I then talked to operator2 who was in the other vessel that was floating just off the boat launch area. Operator2 said he was on his boat with friends and a red PWC started to circle their vessel, yelling at them, that they hit his truck. Operator2 said the operator of the PWC was taking pictures and filming their boat. Operator2 said they were shouting for him to go away and they proceeded to leave the area. Operator2 said the PWC then accelerated and hit the port stern of his vessel. Operator2 then called 911 and reported the accident. 
  
  After talking with Operator2, I smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person and asked Operator2 how much he had to drink today. Operator2 said he had 1-2 beers all day. I had him sit on the tailgate of my DNR truck, and started the DNR Law Enforcement Standardized Field Sobriety Test Form.  I completed all the preliminary information blanks, asked all qualifying questions on the form, and documented all Operator2 answers. I then asked, "Will you perform a series of tests to assist me in determining if it is safe to operate your vessel?" Operator2 stated, “Yes.”
  
  Test # 1 Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus
  I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both his left and right eyes. 
  Total Clues: 2/6
  
  Operator2 appeared not be under the influence to the point where he was less safe to operate his vessel. I had both Operator2 and Operator1 fill out a witness statement form and I told them, if they needed a copy of the report they can contact our DNR office with the number located on my business card. I then told both parties that they were free to go and I would be in contact with them if I needed more information. 
  
  End of report unless amended.
