  Vessel #1 (V2) – Rusty Brown/Dark Orange Color Fiberglass Boat w/New Yamaha Engine
  
  On 05/27/2016, at about 12:01 p.m., this vessel was on Port Angeles Harbor at the Boat Haven Dock, located near Port Angeles WA in Clallam county.  Law Enforcement reported that, according to Witness, (V1), V2 operated by Operator2, intentionally rammed V1 owner’s boat (V1).
   
  Witness told Law Enforcement that he was holding the boat (V1) at the dock/launch waiting for V1 owner to back the vehicle down to get the boat.  Witness felt the boat suddenly push against him  - another boat had hit V1 owner's boat (V1).  According to Witness, there were 3 males in V2, all white around 60 years of age.  One of them said something like “lil punk should have moved your boat” and there was a verbal confrontation.  From their behavior, Witness believed all three males were intoxicated.
   
  V1 Owner, V1 owner said he was backing his vehicle down and heard yelling.  He stepped in and tried to calm the situation down.  He didn't realize that there was damage to his boat until it was out of the water.  When he realized there was damage he said something to one of the other males about the damage and how they were going to resolve it.  One of the men told V1 owner to call his insurance company.   The 3 men left without providing insurance information or names.
   
  V1 owner told Officers that the “fish checker” had also witnessed the collision.  The Officer contacted the Fish & Wildlife employee who told her he couldn’t get involved.  He was uncooperative and would only say that he witnessed a collision, that it seemed to him the other boat was trying to teach V1 owner a lesson.  He also said that the Officer that she should take the statements made by V1 owner and Witness more seriously than statements made by the other people.  He would not provide any information that would help identify the other parties in the collision.
   
  On 06/01/2016, Law Enforcement spoke with the Owner of V2, Operator2.  Operator2 told the Officer he was approaching the dock and it was busy and windy.  He asked the guy holding the boat (Witness) if he would move the boat up so he would have more room to get to the dock.  He said Witness responded with something about not having the key and it wasn’t his boat.  Operator2 said he again asked Witness to walk the boat up and he refused saying it wasn’t his boat and he didn’t have a key.  Operator2 said the boats came close to colliding but his friends were able to keep them apart.  Operator2 said once on the dock, Witness became confrontational spitting on him twice and kicking his boat several times.  Operator2 said the fish checker came down and things calmed between them.    
   
  Operator2 said he loaded his boat and left because he didn’t want any further confrontation with Witness.  Operator2 said he never heard the Owner of V1 (V1 owner) say anything about damage or calling police or he would have stayed.  Operator2 provided the information for his passengers.
