RedactedNarrative: The victim attempted to step off of his pontoon boat onto a dock when he fell in the water. B.  Cranford was later recovered by the Butts County dive team.  
  Cpl. Morris explained that the vessel operator was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. 
  At 1610 hours, I interviewed one of the vessel occupants.  Victim brother said his brother Victim took a step from the boat to the dock and fell into the water.  Victim brother said Victim attempted to grab the dock but slipped away and they never saw him again. Victim brother indicated by show of hand that the vessel was within eight to twelve inches from the dock when Victim attempted to step onto the dock.  Victim brother said the boat was moving slightly but that the throttle of the boat was not engaged.  
  At 1620 hours, I interviewed another vessel occupant.  Subject said Victim fell between the boat and the dock.  Subject said he saw Victim reach for the dock. Subject said when Victim didn’t surface again he jumped in but couldn’t find Victim.  Subject said, “at that point I had to get ahold of the dock myself”.  Subject said the boat was not moving when Victim stepped from the boat to the dock. Subject indicated by show of hand that the boat was within six to ten inches from the dock when Victim attempted to step onto the dock.  Next, Subject indicated by show of hand that when he jumped into the water to assist victim the boat was approximately 18 to 24 inches from the dock.
  
  At 1632 hours, I interviewed the vessel operator.  Operator said she pulled up next to the dock when Victim opened the door of the pontoon boat.   Operator said Victim stepped from the boat to the dock and had one foot on the dock when he fell into the water.  Operator believes the boat shifted while he had one foot on the dock and one foot on the boat.  Operator said when Victim put one foot on the dock the boat was not moving.  Operator indicated by show of hand that the boat was within six to ten inches of the dock when Victim attempted to step onto the dock.
  At 1634 hours, I photographed the 2013 Sun Tracker pontoon boat bearing hull identification number BUJ11098J213 involved in the incident.  I also photographed the dock.
  Coroner said the death was caused by drowning.  I received 5 vials of blood that Coroner had drawn from Victim and transported to the GBI Crime Lab in Macon, Georgia.  Alcohol was the cause.
