RedactedNarrative: On July 4, 2015 at 1725 hours I was on water patrol and dispatched to a boating accident in the area of Bluestem 7 of El Dorado Reservoir. I arrived in the area to find people motioning me to a vessel with an injured tuber on board. We accompanied the boat to Shady Creek Marina where EMS was waiting. I inquired Operator1 where the other boat was and he stated they just left to a cove by where it happened. I was informed it was a black bass boat. I was also informed the driver from the other vessel threw his hands in the air like he was upset with them and Operator1 stated he also put his hands up. I left the vessel operated by Operator1 under the care of the EMS and park rangers while I left to track down the other boat.
   
  At approximately 1745 hours, I made it to the cove where it was indicated the other driver went. When I pulled into the cove I viewed three black bass boats beside each other on shore. For about the next 30 minutes, I tracked down the boat owners and conducted interviews about what they were doing at the time of the accident. I hadn’t tracked down the third boat owner yet when I was approached by Operator2. Operator2 stated he wanted to tell his side of the story so I just listened. Operator2 stated he was returning to his campsite when there was another boat driving straight towards him. Operator2 stated both boats started to turn right and then turned left and he viewed a tube get close enough to his boat that "it scared him". During the interview I noticed Operator2 had been drinking and I asked Operator2 if had been drinking since arriving to shore and Operator2 stated he had drank a few since arriving at shore but hadn’t had any while on the water. I decided to not do sobriety tests since I had no evidence he was drinking while operating and had stated he had since returning to shore. I asked Operator2 what happened next and Operator2 stated he stopped and turned to the boat and threw his hands in the air and was like "what the hell" and then returned to his campsite. After having talked to Operator1 earlier, I knew he stated both boat operators threw their hands in the air. I asked Operator2 if it was possible the tube was thrown into the side of the boat and he stated it was 20 to 40 yards away but enough to scare him. 
   
  I asked Operator2 who else was on the boat with him aboard. I asked if they were still in the area and he stated they were so I spoke to them one at a time. I spoke with Occupant1 and she stated the same sequence of events as Operator2 did. When I asked Occupant1 how close the tube came to the boat Occupant1 stated "inches". I collected her contact information and stated I would call her if I needed anything else. I then spoke with Occupant2 and she again described a similar sequence of events. I asked Occupant2 how close the tube got and she stated about 20 yards. I spoke with Operator2 again next and told him I was sure it was his vessel that was involved in the accident. Operator2 stated he was sure no contact was made. I asked Operator2 what happened after he threw his arms in the air and he stated he saw the other boat starting to pull away so he didn’t think any contact was made and he didn’t look back again. In the meantime, I had officer examining the side of Operator2''s boat to see if there were any scuff marks and none were found. I then had Operator2 fill out a written statement describing what happened. I cleared the area at 1915 hours.
   
  I next made contact with Park Ranger who was with the other boat to find he didn’t do any sobriety tests on the operator and had only collected statements from three people from the boat. I knew from being beside the boat earlier, there were 8 people on board. . I collected the statements and found they all stated what I knew which was people got hurt by hitting another boat. None of the statements said direction of travel of anything like that. On July 5, 2015 while on water patrol at El Dorado, I viewed the boat with Operator1 d
