RedactedNarrative: FACTS:
  On 09-24-16 at approximately 1606 hours, I was dispatched to the area south of Friendly Island on Lake Havasu for a male subject who had jumped off a vessel into the water and had not resurfaced. The subjects in the boat were unable to locate the male subject. I arrived on scene at approximately 1633 hours and located the involved vessel. The male subject, Subject#1, had jumped off the vessel and drowned after several failed attempts to save him by the vessel's passengers. Subject#1 was located and recovered on 09-25-16 by members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff''s Department Dive Team.
  SCENE:
  This accident occurred on Lake Havasu approximately 500 yards south of Friendly Island near an unnamed cove. This waterway is an unobstructed channel that runs in a north south direction. It is approximately 500 yards wide in the vicinity of the accident scene with the Arizona shore to the east and the California shore to the west. There are no visual obscurements in this vicinity. There are no speed restrictions in the area of the accident.
  VESSEL 1:
  This vessel, AZ xxxxxx is a 22 foot Premier pontoon boat. The vessel is of aluminum construction and is powered by a 90 horsepower outboard engine. The vessel was floating in a cove near Pilot Rock when we contacted the operator (Operator#1) and its passengers. I obtained information on Subject#1's last known wherabouts and quick statements from the vessel's passengers regarding the incident. I boarded the rental pontoon boat and drove it to Contact point as Cpl #1 and Dep #1 drove our patrol boat to Contact Point to gather members of the dive team.
  STATEMENTS: (Operator#1)
  I interviewed Operator#1 on the docks at Contact Point. Operator#1 told me he was operating the pontoon boat northbound out of a cove near buoy 114. Buoy 114 is a hazard buoy located just north of a range light north of Pilot Rock. Operator#1 told me he was at low speed until after he passed the hazard buoy at which point he accelerated and the vessel came on a plane. Operator#1 was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour for only a minute when his hat flew out of the vessel. Operator#1 turned the vessel to the right (starboard) towards the Arizona shoreline to retrieve the ball cap. As Operator#1 approached the hat, he came off the throttle and put the drive in neutral. Subject#1 then jumped off the vessel into the water to retrieve the hat. Operator#1 had a difficult time manuevering the vessel back to Subject#1 due to high winds and his inexperience as a boat operator. Operator#1 told me Passenger#1 jumped into the water and swam towards Subject#1 as it appeared Subject#1 was struggling to stay afloat. Operator#1 did not want to maneuver the vessel close to Subject#1 and Passenger#1 due to the propeller. Passenger#2 then jumped into the water and made it to Subject#1. The other passengers in the vessel were trying to throw personal flotation devices to Subject#1 but the high winds blew the PFD's towards the shore. Operator#1 told me that Passenger#2 and Passenger#1 were not able to bring Subject#1 back to the vessel and had to swim back to the vessel without him. I asked Operator#1 if Subject#1 could swim to which he said, "not very well".
  
  I asked Operator#1 if he had any alcohol to drink on this day. Operator#1 told me he had not had any alcohol to drink since last night. Operator#1 told me he had 6-7 Modelo beers on the night of 09-23-16 into the morning hours of 09-24-16. During my conversation with Operator#1, I did not notice any signs of him being under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. I did have Operator#1 perform some field sobriety tests at which time I did not notice any signs of impairment. Operator#1 voluntarily blew into my Intoximeter preliminary alcohol screening device and blew .000% at approximately 1705 hours.
