RedactedNarrative: The resident stated that he had just witnessed two PWC's collide in the Pigeon Mountain Run area of the lake and the operators appeared to be "dazed" and" intoxicated". 
  
  I noticed some light scratches on the upper part of Operator1s leg but no other visible injuries.  Operator2 had what appeared to be deep bruising to both of his knees and cuts to the underside of his arms.  They were both checked out by EMS personnel on the scene and refused further treatment.  
  
  I first spoke to Operator2 about his alcohol intake for the day and he stated that he had drank a couple of beers earlier.  While EMS personnel checked his status, I spoke with Operator1 about her alcohol intake for the day and she stated that she had drank some beer and had a cocktail.  Operator1 had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her person.  When I asked her how tall she was, she repeatedly stated that she is 6'5" when she is actually 5'6".   Her eyes were bloodshot, she recited the number count slowly with deep concentration and during the recitation of the alphabet she paused for approximately ten seconds between K and L.  On the second recitation of the alphabet, she replaced S with X.  Operator1 completed the finger dexterity exercise very slowly.  When conducting the hand pat exercise, Operator1 was very uncoordinated and did not complete it according to my instructions (see field sobriety screening form). After completing field sobriety exercises, I placed Operator1 under arrest for Boating Under the Influence and read her the Implied Consent Warning for persons over the age of 21.  
  
  I relinquished custody of Operator1 to Deputy who transported her to Mountain Lakes Medical Center for blood/alcohol testing.  I next conducted field sobriety on Operator2.  He had a very strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his person.  On the number count exercise, he omitted the number 20.  During the recitation of the alphabet, he sang it entirely despite my instructions not to.  He was unable to touch his thumb to his finger during the finger dexterity exercise.  Operator2 was very uncoordinated and did not separate his hands during the hand pat exercise. (see field sobriety screening form) After completing field sobriety exercises on Operator2, I placed him under arrest for Boating Under the Influence and read him the Implied Consent Warning for persons over the age of 21.  He was then taken into custody by Deputy Parker Chamblee and transported to Mountain Lakes Medical Center for blood/alcohol testing. Deputy Smith and I next spoke with the owner of the PWC's. 
  
   He had arrived at the accident scene while I was conducting field sobriety. We made photographs of the damage, verified HIN's and collected registration.  The registration was in the dash pocket of his ski boat and had never been placed on the PWC's.  I informed him that it must be placed on the vessels after being received in the mail.  I released the two PWC's and instructed him to contact me with a damage estimate as soon as possible.  Deputy and I next proceeded to the Rabun Co. Detention Center to process the two operators upon arrival.  While there, I received a call from Deputy stating that Operator2 had refused blood testing after arriving at the Medical Center.
