RedactedNarrative: On February 15, 2019, While driving Sgt. noticed a vessel grounded on the shoreline just north of the Sugar Creek bridge on Parks Mill Road. After investigating scene and talking to Putnam county dispatch, Sgt. found out that the vessel was grounded earlier that morning with no injuries. Sgt. contacted Sgt. and informed him of the situation. 
  
  At this time, Sgt. contacted me. I arrived at the scene with Sgt. standing by the vessel. Sgt. informed me of the information he had already received and I proceeded with the investigation of the incident. I called the vessel owner and operator of the vessel. He stated that he was on his way back to the incident scene to try and recover the vessel. I took pictures of the vessel and examined damage while waiting on Operator. The vessel appeared inoperable and not float worthy. At this time, Sgt. arrived on scene. When Operator arrived, he stated that he and subject were fishing toward the mouth of Sugar Creek. They decided to head back toward the marina (Sugar Creek Marina) because of the rain which made it hard for him to see. He stated that they were cruising back when they struck the shoreline. He saw the shoreline just before grounding his vessel and dropped the gear shifter into neutral. The vessel went completely onto shore. It was 01:45 am at the time of incident. He stated that himself nor occupant were injured. He said they tried to put the vessel back in the water with no success. He also stated that a Putnam county officer, Deputy, filled out a report. DNR was not notified by Putnam of a boating incident occurring. Sea Tow was called and he accessed the situation. Operator decided not to use Sea Tow due to possible cost. I called Bo's Wrecker Service and explained the situation. Operator agreed to the cost. Bo's arrived and was able to lift vessel and set it on Operator's boat trailer. Afterwards, Operator filled out a witness statement and answered a few more questions for my incident report. He was issued two written warnings.
