RedactedNarrative: On 10/23/2018 at approximately 0800 hours, I along with an investigator were placed on an investigation initially started by an officer for a possible hit and run crash with two vessels. 
  
  The officer initiated the investigation by responding to the initial call of the signal 3 Bravo (Hit and Run Crash - Boat) incident on 10/20/2018 at approximately 1630.  The officer interviewed the victim, Operator 2, and received his version of the events of the incident.  Operator 2 was the owner/operator of the vessel that was hit, registration # FL 0323 RP.  
  
  According to the officer’s interview of Operator 2, he was able provided the following information:
  
  His vessel was tied up to the dock at Port Tarpon Marina. Nobody was on board. 
  He heard one of the dock hands begin yelling, turned and witnessed the defendant’s vessel being operated by a white male, late 30’s, with a scruffy beard, collide with his vessel.  Operator 2’s starboard bow collided with the port quarter of the defendant’s vessel and scraped down the port side.  The defendant’s vessel then immediately left the marina.  Operator 2 got onto his vessel and caught up with the defendant’s vessel. Per Operator 2, the operator of the vessel that collided with his vessel was verbally abusive and refused to stop.  Operator 2 was able to write down the registration numbers and described the vessel as an approximately 20-foot McKee Craft.  The defendant’s vessel was last seen heading out of the Anclote river into the Gulf of Mexico. 
  
  Operator 2 advised the officer that he has insurance and he will be able to email it to reporting officer this week.  Also Operator 2 advised the officer that the marina has a CCTV system that may have recorded the accident.  Operator 2’s vessel was photographed for damage to the fiberglass and paint transfer on the gel coat.
  
  I was able to retrieve CCTV footage of the incident onto a thumb drive by the manager of the marina and submitted the videos as evidence of the accident.  While retrieving the video images as evidence I was also able to interview and get sworn written statements from two witnesses who are employees at Port Tarpon Marina and both were working and present at the time of the incident.  Both sworn written statements have been signed and submitted as evidence.
  
  The defendant’s vessel, with registration # FL 2588 LY.  The Officer ran the registration # through the database and FCIC/ NCIC came up with the description of a white 17-foot McKee Craft mini jet boat, which matches the description given by the victim, Operator 2.  
  
  The investigator and I were able to locate the owner and question him on the events of the incident.  The owner stated that he sold the vessel on 10/10/2018.  He signed the title over but did not retain a copy for his own records.  The only information he was able to give us was the first name of the individual who he sold the vessel to, a general description of the individual, and a contact number.  The investigator and I were able to locate the individual in question and we identified him as Operator 1.  We ran the DL # through the database and two addresses were on record.   We did not locate Operator 1 at that location but did talk to his grandmother and s
