RedactedNarrative: n 05/08/2015, at about 11:00 p.m., this vessel was cruising on Lawrence Lake, located near Yelm, WA in Thurston county. 
  
  Law Enforcement reported that the vessel operator was underway at night with no navigation light or other lights.  Operator, by appearance, smell, and SFST performance, was under the influence of alcohol.  Operator stated hundreds of hours operating this vessel on Puget Sound but only one previous time on Lawrence Lake.  Passenger estimated speed at 15-20 mph (Lake speed limit at night of 5 mph).  Operator declined to estimate speed.
