RedactedNarrative: an indiana conservation officer (ico) responded to lake tippecanoe.  Subject advised that on june 28th, 2015 he discovered that his boat had been damaged.  Subject advised that he then began his own investigation and discovered who damaged it.  Subject advised that he had been in contact with v1 and were both working on getting the boat fixed.  Subject advised that v1 admitted that his wife was driving the boat on the evening of june 19th, 2015 and were attempting to turn around in the channel when she mistakenly went forward on the throttle instead of in reverse.  V1 was on the front of their boat and to keep their boat from hitting subject' boat he stuck his foot out which did all the damage.    Subject advised that an estimate from the tippecanoe boat company was $7,000.00 damage.

  I spoke with v1 at their residence and their story was consistent with what subject told me in reference to the events on the evening of the incident.
