RedactedNarrative: Prelude:
  This is a report in reference to a boating crash that occurred on Lake Gage on 07/15/2017.   The operator and occupants of a powerboat were ejected from the boat.  This resulted in multiple personal injuries, as well as property damage to 2 docks and a collision with a patrol boat. The operator of the boat was charged with multiple alcohol related offenses.   
  
  DISPATCH INFO/INITIAL CALL
  On 7/15/17, the Steuben County Sheriff's Department received three emergency 911 calls for a boat crash on Lake Gage.  
  
   Audio recordings of the 911 calls state “they've been out here… they were going super-fast this whole time and being a little careless and reckless”....“all their heads are above water.”
  
  A second caller confirmed the crash and stated “there are several people in the water.. a boat that is unmanned and twirling in circles going pretty dang fast but there is nobody in the boat.”  
  
  A third caller stated he was “on Lake Gage and there has been a boat accident.” After this, there was a large amount of screaming and a variety of unintelligible words/phases between the subjects in the boat and the injured persons.  When asked how many were injured he said “we have at least two really severely injured.”  He went on to say “one compound fracture and another with a wrist.”  After he identified his name, he says “holy shit hurry please there's someone severely injured.”    After several seconds in which you can hear shouting, the dispatcher attempted to get the location where they were headed on shore.  
  
  Witness3 says “we're having a hard time because the guy who can drive the boat is taking care of someone who's passing out from shock.”  Inquiries about the injuries led Witness3 to say “we have two bleeding severely, ones about to pass out.”  Dispatchers advised Witness3 to get pressure on the wound, leading to a response saying “we're trying to tourniquet it.”   There was more information about injuries relayed and Witness3 stated that there were “two severely bleeding, two compound fractures, one of a arm, one of a hand and she's bleeding severely from a gash on the shoulder.”   After several seconds of yelling dispatchers finally understood Witness3 to say he has 3 injured people on his boat and he doesn't know how many are in the other boat, and there are still more on another boat.  
  
  There ended up being four severely injured persons on two separate boats.
  
  UPON ARRIVAL OBSERVATIONS
  
  I arrived at Lake Gage at approximately 8:17pm and observed a silver unmanned boat circling toward the center of the lake at high speed (estimated at 20-30 mph).   I met with Steuben County Cpl. and I was told the 20 year old female operator was in custody in his vehicle and had provided a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) of .122.   
  
  Within minutes, I learned the unmanned boat was circling close to shore and was an immediate threat to persons and property.  
  
  ACTIONS UPON UNMANNED BOAT
  
  I launched my Boston Whaler patrol boat across the lake at a location described to me as “The Marina.”  Steuben County Deputies accompanied me on the patrol boat.  Upon nearing the area, I observed the unoccupied boat (a 2007 Correct Craft Sport SV 211 L) circling at high speeds in a tight clockwise radius.   
  
  My first attempt to board the unoccupied boat was unsuccessful, resulting in a minor collision and cracked cowling on the outboard motor of my Boston Whaler. After that unsuccessful attempt to board the unoccupied boat, Steuben County Deputy…
