RedactedNarrative: On May 30, 2021, Sgt. and I, Cpl., both with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division, were notified by dispatch of a boating incident that occurred at the Margaritaville public docks in Landshark Cove off Shoal Creek on Lake Lanier.  Sgt. and I responded to the incident location by vessel and observed a red and white Mastercraft, Vessel 1(V1), tied to the outside of Dock B.
  
  	The owners of V1 and their daughter were on the dock.  I spoke with and secured a written statement from each.  They said that while attempting to secure their vessel to the dock, Subject1 fell on the throttle, accidentally pushing it forward and sending the vessel halfway on to the central walkway of the dock.  Subject2 turned the vessel off and pushed it back off the dock into the water.  No one was injured.
  
  	Subject2 reported damage to the starboard side of V1 and to the bow on the hull.  Sgt. and I observed a long mark along the starboard side of V1, a series of cracks on the starboard gunwale, and damage to the hull on the bow.  Subject2 estimated the repair cost at greater than $2000.00.
  
  	A rental vessel, Vessel 2 (V2), docked two slips over was damaged when the dock collided with V2's motor as the dock shifted with V1's impact.  operator of V2, said that V2 was docked, stern in, when the impact occurred.  Sgt. observed damage to the motor case of V2.
  
  	Wood and plastic on the dock where V1 impacted were damaged.  Margaritaville employee confirmed the new damage to the dock when he was taking his own report.
  
  	Witness statements of the incident were consistent.  No citations were issued.
