RedactedNarrative: On June 1, 2018 at 1030 hrs Ofc.s were dispatched to a boat accident that occurred in the Northeast river behind 200 Cherry Street. When we arrived on scene we made contact with the individual. V1 subject1 was the subject that had wrecked his vessel causing damage to the dock and to another vessel. A statement from V1 subject1 as well as a worker of the Nauti Goose bar have been scanned and added as an attachment to the report. V1 subject1 stated that he put his vessel which is a 247 Regal Commodore in reverse and the vessel shot forward so he then put the vessel in forward and again it shot forward then smashing into the dock and causing the floating dock to break and swing into the vessel causing damage to the swim platform stern and canvas cover on the boat. Pictures of the damage to both vessels and the floating dock have been attached to the report. 
  
  The subject that worked at the Nauti Goose and gave us a statement regarding the accident. He also stated to me that V1 subject1 was drunk when he wrecked his vessel and his story was going to be that he was drinking after he wrecked the vessel he was not drunk when the accident occurred. When I made initial contact with V1 subject1 I was able to see that his eyes were glassy and blood shot. I also was able to pick up the odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath. After reading V1 subject1 his rights he gave a voluntary statement about the boat accident. I then asked V1 subject1 how much he had to drink today and he stated he had not drank anything all day. I then took V1 subject1 the parking lot of the Nauti Goose to perform SFST (standardized field sobriety test). I again asked how many drinks he had today, and he then stated that he had a few drinks. I then asked him when it was that he had his last drink he stated he stopped drinking about an hour ago. That meant that he had stopped drinking approx. 15 minutes prior to crashing his boat into the dock. I then stated giving V1 subject1 the test. The first test i performed was the HGN (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus) test. I gave V1 subject1 the instructions for the HGN test and asked him if he understood the instructions which he said he did. V1 subject1 moved his head two time trying to follow the stimulus. V1 subject1 showed all six clues during the HGN test. The six clues consisted of Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct and sustained nystagmus at max. deviation in both eyes, and Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. Also while giving HGN V1 subject1 was swaying back and forth unable to stand straight up and still. After completion of HGN I then moved on the Walk and Turn. I gave V1 subject1 the instructions while giving the instruction V1 subject1 was unable to stay in the position that i had put him in for the instructional part of the Walk and turn. I gave all of the instruction for the walk and turn and demonstrated. I then asked V1 subject1 if he understood the instructions which he told me he did. I then told V1 subject1 to Begin the test. on the First Nine stepsV1 subject1 Missed Heel to Toe on steps six and nine, he also raised his arms on Steps seven and eight. When trying to complete the turn at the end of his nine steps V1 subject1 turned to the inside instead of turning to the outside as he was instructed to do. On the nine steps back he missed heel to toe on step four and seven and raised his arms to remain balance on step eight. When he got to the end of the second set of nine steps he asked if he needed to turn around again. In the instructions he was told nine heel to toe steps down with one turn at the end of the nine steps keeping his front foot on the line and taking series of small steps and then take nine heel to toe steps back. Again he stated he understood the directions before he had started the test. After Completion of the Walk and turn I gave V1 subject1 the One Leg Stand test. I gave V1 subject1 the instructions on the One Leg Stand and demonstrated the test for him and asked him if he understood the instructions. He stated that he understood the instructions. He then state that the boat accident had nothing to do with him being drunk that it was a mechanical failure. 
  Again i asked if V1 subject1 understood the instructions and he stated that he did and Itold him to begin the test. While taking the test V1 subject1 was balancing on his right foot and was swaying put his NRP-18-00884 - NRP AREA 6 - Maryland (NRP) foot down three times and raised his arms 7 times to keep is balance. After completion of the SFST I read to V1 subject1 the NRP 482 Advice of rights. He then refused to take a breath test stating something might show up and that he would leave it in a judges hands to determine if he was guilty or not. He signed the refusal at 0003 hrs. on 7/2/2018. I then asked V1 subject1 again how many drinks he had and he stated a few drinks. He kept stating he wasn't doing a breath test because something may show up. At this time I told subject that he was under arrest for Operation of a Vessel while under the influence of alcohol. I then Wrote V1 subject1 four citations NR 8 738 a1 Operation while under the influence of alcohol, MR 08.18.01.07
  Operation of a Vessel while under the influence of Alcohol, MR 08.18.35.11 B2b Operating a vessel while under the influence of a combination of CDS and Alcohol, and NR 8738 .2a1 Operation of a vessel in a reckless or dangerous manor.
