RedactedNarrative:   On June 13, 2017 at approximately 1030 hours, I Off were on boat patrol in the Severn River. We were notified by DNR Communications of a vessel accident in Back Creek at Watergate Pointe Marina at G-Dock slip 17. We were advised that a sailboat had struck another vessel and had left the scene. We were provided with a description of the striking vessel, white sail boat displaying MD Registration 7785BP and towing a yellow dingy. When we arrived on scene we met with subject who advised us that he tried to confront the other boater as he left the scene, and he believes he was intoxicated
   
   DNR Communications advised us that the striking vessel was seen at Annapolis City Marina. Cpl. and I left back creek and proceeded to Annapolis City Marina to find the Striking Vessel. When we arrived we did not see the vessel in question. We stopped at the Marina to ask the personnel if they had seen a vessel matching the description. The Marina manager said “yes he just left about 10 minutes ago and he said he was going to return to back creek”.
   
   Cpl. and I returned to Back Creek and noticed a sailboat trying to anchor. We approached the vessel because it matched the description that we were given. 
  
  We made contact with the vessel owner. We asked Operator2 was he involved in any collisions and he replied “no I was not”. Operator2 stated that his sailboat was dragging anchor while he was at work but he is unaware of it striking another vessel. Operator2 provided me with his identification, vessel registration, and proof of insurance. Operator2 was advised that there were photos taken of his vessel striking Vessel1.
   
   Cpl. boarded Operator2 vessel in search of any evidence to support v1’s allegations of him being intoxicated. There was an open bottle of an alcoholic beverage on the seat in the stern. Cpl. ask Operator2 how much alcohol has he consumed today, Operator2 responded “I took 3 shots in 15 minutes”.
  
  Operator2 was instructed to drop his anchor and not to operate his vessel if he was going to keep consuming alcohol. Operator2 agreed to drop his anchor.
   
   Cpl. and I believe that Operator2 was under the influence of alcohol; however we did not see him operate his vessel so we could not charge him.
   
   No one was charged in this case.
