RedactedNarrative: On 5/23/20, i, indiana conservation officer along with corporal were working on brookville reservoir and received a call about a sunken boat at fairfield ramp. We responded to the area and were waived down by an individual standing on the dock.
  
  The individual on the dock identified himself. Operator stated that he had been out throughout the weekend on his boat. He provided me with the registration number and i was able to get a return. The boat returned in his name to a 18' mariah pleasurecraft with registration. 
  
  Operator stated that the boat had begun to take water on while he was north of the ramp. Furthermore he stated that his bilge pump was unable to keep up with the amount of water the boat was taking on. Upon entering the idle zone just out from the ramp, operator stated that the boat began to capsize and he exited the boat. I did not observed a boat but operator pointed in a direction nw of the ramp and stated his boat was located there. Operator pointed to an area less than 100 yards from the ramp. I asked operator if he had life jackets on board and he stated he did.  I gathered information from operator and a report was taken.
  
  I was later informed that in the following week, operator's boat was removed from the water.
