RedactedNarrative: On 6/5/2022 at approximately 1730 hours, I arrived at Backwater Fins Restaurant regarding a boating accident with property damage. According to statements and evidence, a personal watercraft (PWC) collided with an unoccupied PWC which was tied to the restaurant’s dock and caused damage to the dock and PWC.
  
  	I identified the PWC that caused the accident and damage by its registration: FL7644SJ. I identified its operator. He stated that while starting the engine, the dock line was wrapped around the handlebars and throttle which caused it to propel forward. The PWC continued propelling forward and collided with another, unoccupied PWC that was tied to the dock. He advised that there was no damage caused to his PWC. He was issued a citation for violation of navigational rules, fail to maintain proper lookout, which does not constitute reckless operation. 
  
  	I identified the unoccupied PWC by its registration: FL7672PA. Its owner was present. I observed the damage to this PWC to include broken fiberglass, broken plastics, and missing plastics and side mirror. 
  
  	I observed the damage caused to the restaurant’s dock to include broken frame boards and mounting hardware. I located the restaurant’s manager who exchanged contact information with the PWC owners.
  
  	These contacts were video and audio documented using agency issued body worn camera.
