RedactedNarrative: On May 1 2021 at approximately 715PM I responded to a boating accident on Econfina Creek within Bay County Florida. The accident occurred on Econfina creek just north of CR 388.  There were no reported injuries. Upon my arrival on scene FWC Officers were recovering three subjects who had been involved in the accident. A fourth party was the reporting party and stated that she was involved in the accident. She stated that there were a total of 8 people involved in the accident. 
  I identified the vessel by its Florida registration numbers The three occupants still on the vessel were identified as well. I asked who was operating the vessel at the time of the accident. OP1 stated that she was the operator and it was her vessel. I asked her to tell me what occurred. She stated that they were traveling downstream when they encountered several tubers. The decided to assist the tubers by letting some of them ride in the vessel and some hold on to the side while the vessel was in motion. ( at one point 8 subjects were either in or holding onto the vessel) .She stated that this caused the vessel to take on water and sink. The vessel capsized and then completely sank. The water was shallow enough that the subjects could stand or swim to the shore. The other two occupants on the vessel shared similar accounts of the events. 
  We also discovered that there were five subjects that were on tubes which had been involved in the accident but left the scene and notified law enforcement. Officers met these subjects at their residence and got written statements from them. The subjects stated that OP1 was operating the vessel in a erratic and careless manner. They all stated a similar account to OP1 in reference to the boating accident. 
  They indicated that OP1 and the two original occupants of the vessel appeared to be very intoxicated. They stated that she could not operate the vessel safely due to her impairment and that she was driving them into debris on the creek, as well as at one point going in the wrong direction of there destination. 
  After completing the boating accident investigation I advised OP1 that I was now switching to a criminal investigation. After completing a BUI Investigation OP1 was placed under arrest for BUI. She later provided a sample of her breath which showed a BAC of 0.118g/210L.
