RedactedNarrative: On August 22, 2015, I Sgt. received a call from DNR dispatcher of a boat accident. I responded to Deep Creek Marina in the area of Arrowhead. Upon my arrival I made contact with an employee of the marina who directed me to the operator of a rented Yamaha wave runner. Operator advised he was returning to the dock at about 4 miles per hour and as he approached the dock the watercraft drifted into the dock causing the craft to go under the pier causing the damage to the craft. I then spoke to the dock hand that was there to assist in the return of the craft. Assistant advised that Operator was returning to the dock at approximately 8 miles per hour and was unable to steer the craft and hit the dock.
   
   Through my investigation I determined the boating experience of Operator to be a contributing factor in the accident. The damage to the craft indicates a speed of at least 8 miles per hour. The estimated damage to the craft is $2500 to $3000.
   Warning issued for negligent operation.
