RedactedNarrative: On September 27, 2015 at approximately 1530 hours I, Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was dispatched to a boating accident on the beach just south of the south jetty at Sebastian Inlet State Park in Indian River County.  
  
  I arrived on scene at approximately 1630 hours to find the boat beached and the passenger of the boat, in the parking lot of the state park with some of the fishing equipment that was recovered from the boat.  
  
  I spoke with Subject about what happened.  According to Subject, he had gone out on subject2’s boat for the day.  They had launched at Main Street Boat Ramp and had gone out into the ocean to do some shark fishing.  The seas were a little large for their comfort, given the size of the boat, and so they decided to head back in through the inlet.  Subject2 was driving the boat back into the inlet at approximately 5-10 miles per hour when a wave came over the front of the boat and swamped the boat. Subject2 ran the boat around the south jetty and on to the beach so that it would not sink in the middle of the inlet.  Subject2 had been given a ride to Main Street boat ramp to get his truck and then returned to get Subject.  
  
  At this point I went to take a look at the boat.  It was less than an eighth of a mile from the south jetty and was in approximately 3 feet of water.  Each time a wave would come it would crash against the hull of the boat.  The trolling motor was starting to come off the front of the boat and the cowling was starting to come off of the outboard motor (see attached photos).  
  
  I ran the Florida registration number (FL5472GK) that were displayed on the boat and it came back to a registered different owner.  The boat is a red 1988 sixteen foot six inch Procraft bass boat.  
  
  Once Subject2 got back to Sebastian Inlet State Park, I spoke to him about what happened.  He stated that he was returning to the inlet from the ocean side at about 20-25 miles per hour and had taken a large wave over the bow of the boat.  He was afraid that the boat would sink so he gave it full throttle and he ran it up onto the beach.  
  
  I asked Subject2 whose boat it was and he stated that the boat was given to him about six months ago by his brother.  Subject2 has had possession of the boat for about a year and a half, ever since his brother bought it for $2400.  
  
  I spoke with Subject2 about his plans for removing the boat from the beach.  He stated that he just did not have the money to have it removed.  I suggested several different options for removing the boat including having one of the boat towing companies remove the boat, getting friends with boats to come help, or even cutting the boat up and removing it piece by piece.  I explained to him that it would be a criminal offence to leave the boat in its current condition on the beach.  He stated that I would just have to take him to jail because he did not have the money to have it removed.  
  
  
  On September 30, 2015 I was given some parts of the vessel for FWC Lt. who had collected these pieces on Monday September 28th from just south of the boating accident location (see attached photos).  There were several other pieces of the boat still on the beach at that time.  
  
  I walked down the beach south of the jetty to look for remnants of the vessel.  I was only able to find some small pieces of foam and some small pieces of fiberglass from the boat. I was able to find the outboard motor and some very large pieces of the boat in a dumpster within the park.  
  
  I stopped by Subject2’s house and spoke with him about the boat.  He stated that he had gone to Sebastian Inlet State Park on Monday September 28th and spoke with the park ranger there.  Subject2 said the park ranger told him to make a pile of the pieces and the park would take care of it from there.  Subject2…
