RedactedNarrative: On June 30th, 2014, at approximately 9:05 p.m., Sgt. received a call from dispatch concerning a one vessel boating incident on Bayou Lacombe. Once on scene, Sgt. noticed severe damage to the bow of the boat, LA 7032 ES, a fiberglass center console Bay Quest. There was blood located throughout the boat and it was determined that both occupants, received injuries from the collision and each was admitted to local hospitals from treatment. From the severity of the damage, it appears that the boat was on plane at the time of the collision with a tree. 
  Sgt. located proper USCG approved PFDs in the boat but it is undetermined at this time if they were used until further investigation. Upon inspection of the boat, Sgt. found numerous cold, empty beer cans in the boat which correlates to the operator and passenger both stating that they and consumed alcoholic drinks(beer) while out on the boat. It is believed that operator was under the influence of alcohol the time of the incident and appropriate charges are pending at this time. 
  At this time it is not clear what caused the incident. Further investigation is to follow. Sgt.  could find no mechanical fault with the boat but does believe operator could have struck a submerged object near this location since there are many obstructions in the waterway due to Hurricane Katrina, so his claim is plausable. However, the blood kit results from the State Police Crime lab indicate that his BAC was 8, over the legal limit, and also tested positive cocaine. He was impaired at the time of the accident, and a warrant has been issued for the arrest based on his level of intoxication. The boat involved in the accidents turned over to owner of the boat and father of the victim, on 07-03-14.
