RedactedNarrative: On June 11, 2020, I, Cpl. was on vessel patrol in Hall County on Lake Lanier. At approximately 7:19 PM I received a call from dispatch advising me of a boating incident, involving a PWC (personal watercraft) with injuries, near Holiday Marina. I was able to obtain a call back number from the caller. I spoke with the caller, who witnessed the incident. He advised me that it occurred in Little Shoal Creek. A white male subject was towing a tube with 3 young female subjects. Operator drove close to shore causing the tube and the girls to collide with the shore. I asked the witness if he would email me a witness statement and he said yes (received a statement on 6/12/2020 at approximately 5:26 PM) 
  
  I traveled to the scene and saw Hall County Fire with no one else around. I spoke with Fire and they instructed me that one victim from the incident was taken to Children's Health Care of Atlanta (CHOA) and was unresponsive at the scene. They also stated the other people at the scene left in two vehicles just left before I arrived and travelled towards Lanier Islands. The Hall County fire personal stated that they seemed to want to leave the scene in a hurry. I asked if they would wait by the road to identify the vehicles. They assisted me in identifying the two vehicles. I spoke with the drivers of both vehicles. I asked them to pull to the side of the road so I could talk with them to figure things out. After speaking to them, I discovered that one vehicle arrived after the PWC incident and did not witness anything. The other vehicle was driven by Operator.  
  
  After interviewing Operator, I discovered two families had set up a picnic area near the shore. One family consisting of Operator, his wife, son and daughter. Also, Operator's group contained his son's friend  and daughter's friend. The other family who was not at the scene was the one who brought the PWC.
  
   Operator advised me that he had his son’s friend was on the back of the PWC while he was towing three people. He attempted to make a left turn and the tube struck a point that came out into the lake and all three girls were thrown off of the tube. 
  
  I asked Operator to point out where the incident occurred. He pointed to a location approximately 100 yards to the right of our location. He also sketched a drawing of the PWC and girl's location on the tube. I could smell an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from Operator. His speech seemed slow, and his eyes were glassy. I asked him how much he had to drink that day. Operator stated that he had one beer earlier in the day. 
  
  I asked Operator if he would submit to a portable breath test ( PBT ) and he agreed. My PBT was not working at the time, so I asked Operator if he would mind performing a field sobriety test (FST) for me. He stated yes. The ground was very uneven where we were, so I performed the DNR Seated Battery. 
  Operator’s speech was slow, his eyes were glassy, and I could smell a weak odor of alcoholic beverage about his breath.
