RedactedNarrative: On Thursday September 2nd 2020 at 1658 hours I was notified of a possible Water Rescue/ Boat Accident near Tuckahoe Acres on the Indian River Bay. At 1730 hours I arrived at Tuckahoe Acres where I documented the vessel. The Vessel was a Blue and White Yamaha Jet Ski (DL 976AN) operated by a V1 OPERATOR 1. RP stated at approximately 1650 hours he noticed a man floating in the water off the beach off Tuckahoe Acres. RP stated the man appeared to be in distress. RP utilized his pontoon boat to assist Millville Fire Dept. to save V1 OPERATOR 1 from the water. At this time V1 OPERATOR 1 was transported to the beach where he was evaluated by Medical. At this time I Contacted V1 OPERATOR 1. V1 OPERATOR 1 seemed out of it and did have a slight smell of Alcohol. At this time V1 OPERATOR 1 was taken to Beebe Hospital in Lewes. 
   At this time I responded to Beebe Hospital, acquired V1 OPERATOR 1''s information as well as a statement regarding the boat accident. V1 OPERATOR 1 advised he launched his vessel from Holts Landing at approx. 1300 hours and was looking for Paradise Grill. At approx. 1600 hours V1 OPERATOR 1 was standing on his Jetski searching for Holt''s Landing when a boat wake knocked him off of his Jet Ski. At this time V1 OPERATOR 1 was attempting to swim to catch up to his ski. After approx. 20 minutes of swimming V1 OPERATOR 1 stated he took his life jacket off in an attempt to try and stand up. During this attempt V1 OPERATOR 1 lost his life jacket. V1 OPERATOR 1 stated he thought this was the end of his life and could barely stay afloat. At this time he recalled RP coming to save his life.
   I questioned if he had any alcoholic beverages. V1 OPERATOR 1 stated he had four Coors Lights which matched the four Coors Lights that were located and photographed in his Jet Ski. At this time I asked if V1 OPERATOR 1 would be willing to submit a Blood Alcohol Content sample. V1 OPERATOR 1 stated he would be willing to. At this time the registered nurse completed the Blood Alcohol Contents sample kit that was provided from Troop 7. V1 OPERATOR 1 was admitted to the hospital for evaluation over night. At this time I requested permission to assist V1 OPERATOR 1 with loading his Jet Ski on his trailer at Holts Landing. I advised that his vehicle would be kept overnight at Holts Landing. V1 OPERATOR 1 Requested I take his personal items out of the vehicle. At 2028 hours V1 OPERATOR 1s items were secured in my patrol vehicle. At 2230 hours I arrived to the Sussex County Office to enter all of V1 OPERATOR 1''s items into evidence. On Thursday September 3 at 1700 hours V1 OPERATOR 1''s items were removed from evidence and later returned to him at Holts Landing. V1 OPERATOR 1 thanked me again for everything and no further action was taken.
