RedactedNarrative: On Thursday, 4/20/2017, I, Cpl. received a call at 2000 hours about a boating incident at the Meeting Street boat ramp in St Marys, GA. I then spoke with Cpl., with St Marys Police Department, who was the officer on scene. Cpl. advised me that a 911 call came in that someone had hit the dock at the boat ramp at full speed. He was on scene within 2 minutes of the call. Cpl. told me that the boat was at the dock sinking quickly and that the operator seemed drunk. Cpl. said when Operator seen him he attempted to back the boat up and the motor nearly completely submerged. A bystander got Operator's keys and backed the trailer in the water. Operator managed to get the boat on the trailer just before it sank. Cpl. stated that water was pouring out of the bilge and out of the 6 foot gash Operator had put in the hull when he hit the corner of the dock. EMS was called to the scene but both Operator and his passenger refused treatment. A female witness to the incident stated that the boat never slowed down.
  
  	Cpl interviewed Operator who admitted to having 4 or 5 shots of Jim Beam whiskey. Cpl said he attempted Field Sobriety tests but Operator was virtually unable to perform them. I sent Cpl a copy of our Implied Consent for Boating. He read Operator the Implied Consent and Operator agreed to give a breath sample. His results were 0.172. Operator was transported to the St Marys Hospital because he had to get medical clearance before being booked into the jail because he was involved in an accident. Operator's wife was called to the scene to retrieve the truck and boat.
  
  	I arrived on scene around 2200 hours. I photographed the boat. The damage was to the port side of the bottom of the hull. I found a half gallon bottle of Jim Beam whiskey under the driver's seat that was nearly empty. I also noticed damage to the top of the bow. Cpl told me that Operator told him that he forgot to pull up the trolling motor when they finished fishing earlier. Operator said he was running back in when the motor ripped off the bow from the pressure of the boat underway. I checked the dock and could not see any significant damage. I started the boating incident report there and got all the personal and vessel information from Cpl.
  
  	I then went to the hospital to interview Operator. He was still somewhat out of it and appeared to still be very intoxicated. When I asked him to tell me what happened he said he really didn't remember. He thought he may have passed out before he hit the dock. I got some more personal information from him and made sure he knew he was being arrested for Boating Under the Influence. I issued him the citation and the 1205 Form. I explained his suspension of boating privileges. I left his copies with the patrol officer who was transporting Operator to the Camden County Jail.
