RedactedNarrative: On 9/19/20 between the hours of 1900hrs  and 2000 hrs, OPERATOR 1 and PASSENGER 1 were on the water after it got dark. OPERATOR 1 said that they had been having issues with their boat not starting. He said that it finally started and he was headed to the marina. He said it was dark and he thought he was in the deep channel. He said that was when they ran the boat aground. He said they did not call until 0713 on 9/20/20 because he did not believe anything could be done. 
  
  I responded to the location he had described and found the vessel. It was out of the water and the prop had traveled on land for 35 feet prior to coming to rest. I photographed the vessel. The marina was contacted in order to place the vessel back in the water and to have it towed in. 
  
  I contacted the owner of the vessel again. He said he had not been drinking on 9/19/20. I found alcohol in the ice chest still in the vessel. OPERATOR 1 said that he had a fractured pelvis and a fractured elbow and he stated his wife just had bruises from the incident. I collected their statements that they emailed to me. 
   I am sending charges of 5-341 Reckless operation to our County Attorneys Office.
