RedactedNarrative: At approximately 1700 hours, Monday, August 26th Sergeant and myself received a call from Putnam County Sheriff’s office about a call they received in regards to damage to a boat house and boat. Sgt. and myself met Putnam County SO and spoke with the property owners. We surveyed the damage to their boat house and boat and spoke with the owners in regards to the incident. Owner1 told us that he was alerted to the incident when he received footage from the security camera on his dock that his boat house had been hit by another vessel. The footage showed what appeared to be a bass boat hitting the dock, ramping it on the south side of the boat house, striking the owner’s boat in the slip, and exiting the west side of the boat house. This impact caused significant damage to the dock, boathouse and owner’s boat on the lift. I took pictures of the damage to the boat house and collected the shards of fiberglass left by the suspect’s boat on the dock. There was also a piece of rubber mat and what appeared to be a shard of the suspects navigation light.  
  
  The next day, Tuesday, August 25th Corporal and myself checked the Twin Bridges, Little River and Murder Creek area of Lake Sinclair by water. We searched for a boat matching the description of the suspects boat with the same color fiberglass that was left on the dock. We did not see a boat matching the description so I contacted Twin Bridges Marina and Little River Marina. Twin Bridges Marina and Little River Marina had not seen a boat matching that description with significant front end damage pull out at their boat ramps.  
  
  On September 17th I posted to Facebook on the “Lake Sinclair” and “Lake Sinclair Post All” the footage of the incident as well as pictures of the damage. I gave a brief summary of what had happened and asked for assistance in identifying the operator of the suspect boat. From those posts we had information given to us about a tournament that was the evening of the incident put on by the Baldwin Backlashers. Subject1 reached out on the post to volunteer to scuba dive around the dock to look for any evidence that may be in the water around the dock.  
  
  On September 18th I contacted the president of Baldwin Backlashers to set up a time to meet with him. I met him at his business. We talked about the tournament and he gave me the sign-up sheet. He told me that several boats did not finish the tournament and weigh in. On the sign-up sheet you could see the names of the boaters that did not have an ending weight. Several only put their first names. I went through the list of names with Subject to try to gather more information on the boaters that did not weigh in. I also showed him the fiberglass that was left on the owner’s dock. Subject stated that he remembered a boat that fished the tournament that had that same color. Subject stated that the individual had not fished with them before and that he did not launch his boat at Lake Side Bait and Tackle with most of the other anglers. Subject stated that he met them there from his home that was up Murder Creek. Subject could not remember his name but only that he signed up closer to the bottom of the sheet. 
  
  Corporal and myself began going through the list of names and pulling their information from our Go Outdoors Georgia website. We focused on boaters that were by themselves because the footage from the dock looked like a single occupant on the suspect’s vessel. One name was by himself and matched the correct area of the lake with his address. Corporal rode by several addresses registered on the west side of the lake. He did not see a bass boat of the correct color at any of the addresses listed.
