RedactedNarrative: On June 8th, 2020 at approximately 9:45 PM two officers responded to Safe Harbor Marina (Mears Point Marina, 428 Kent Narrows Way, Grasonville MD Queen Anne’s County) for a large cabin boat struggling to operate while colliding with multiple pilings in the marina. We arrived on the scene at approximately 10:00 PM and observed the vessel (1996 Searay Sundancer, 37ft, white, MD0313BF, HIN # SERF5269A696) being tied up in a boat slip. The owner and operator of the vessel were Operator 1. At the time, a neighboring captain observed the operator having trouble safely operating the vessel back into the marina/slip. Once close enough to the dock, the neighboring captain jumped on Operator 1’s vessel and attempted to instruct Operator 1 on how to operate. The neighboring captain stated Operator 1 was unresponsive to all commands and took over the helm of the vessel and safely docked and secured the vessel in the slip 
  
  We made contact with the neighboring captain and Operator 1 while Operator 1 finished securing the vessel to the dock. I identified the operator, Operator 1, and asked him to exit the vessel to the dock. An officer stood on the dock to ensure a safe exit from the vessel because the drop height from the bow of the vessel to the dock was approximately 4 feet. I remained on the vessel observing Operator 1 climbing down off the boat. We asked Operator 1 if he needed any assistance, he replied no. Once Operator 1 got halfway over the bow of the boat trying to get on the dock, he began to fall and an officer was able to grab and carry Operator 1 safely on the dock. I would like to note that Operator 1 was the only person on the vessel during the incident prior with the neighboring Captain. Once off the boat, I asked Operator 1 to make his way down the dock to the parking lot of the marina. While walking to the parking lot, Officer 2 asked Operator 1 if he has had any alcoholic beverages tonight. He replied no. I then asked if he had anything at all to drink after the neighboring captain took control over his vessel. He replied no. Once in the parking lot, I stood about 2 feet from Operator 1 and asked him what happened. 
  
  Operator 1 stated he was having engine problems and that one of the two engines had failed on him. While speaking with Operator 1, he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his persons, especially during our conversation. I told Operator 1 that I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his persons and breath, and he replied “oh really?” and blew directly into my face. I told him I did not need him to do that and advised him not to do that again especially with the current Covid-19 Pandemic going on. He immediately apologized. I then asked Operator 1 again if he had any alcoholic beverages this evening. He replied yes. 
  
  I then asked what type of alcoholic beverage and how many. He replied 4 Miller Light cans. I then asked at what time he started drinking and when the last alcoholic beverage he had was. He stated that his first beer was around 5:00 PM and his last beer was about one hour ago (approximately 9:00 PM). After seeing the empty bottle of Smirnoff Vodka and the strong odor of alcoholic beverages emanating from his persons, I began to administer a series of field sobriety tests on him at approximately 2220 hours to determine if he was operating his vessel under the influence of alcohol. After the conclusion of the tests and questioning, Operator 1 agreed to blow into a preliminary breath test (PBT). Operator 1 blew a .181 BAC into the PBT. At 2250 hours, I informed Operator 1 that he was under arrest for OWI/OUI.
