RedactedNarrative: On 06/05/16 at approximately 1545 hours I (Dep.) and Dep. arrived in the area of Tobler’s Marina in regards to a boat crash. On scene we contacted the witness, Witness told us that a blue boat he believed to a Well Craft struck the back of an unoccupied pontoon boat that was docked at Tobler’s Marina.
  
   Witness went on to say that the driver of the boat got out and briefly looked over the damage, but had to quickly get back into his boat because he had left it in gear and it was about to hit a second boat. Witness stated the driver then left the area. Witness stated the crash was very loud. As we were talking with Witness he noticed the offender boat returning to the Marina.
  
  We then contacted the offender boat and contacted the driver. Operator1 told us that he did not hit the pontoon boat but had hit the dock next to the pontoon boat. We then examined the pontoon boat and could see that it had been hit and pushed into the dock; the collision also broke both the straps that had been holding the pontoon boat in place. 
  
  I then contacted the owner of the pontoon boat, who advised me that the damage I was describing on his pontoon boat was new and had not been there the last time he had seen his boat. While we were looking over the pontoon boat the manager of the Marina arrived and told us that several people had reported to him that the boat Operator1 was driving had hit the pontoon boat very hard.  We took several pictures of the damage to the pontoon boat.
  
  We then re contacted Operator1 and he told us that he had stepped away from the wheel to adjust the stereo when he felt a “Bump”. I confirmed with Operator1 that he did not see what he had hit. Operator1 then stated “If I damaged his boat I will pay to have it fixed”. Operator1 was warned for leaving the scene and was cited for negligent operations.
