RedactedNarrative: SUMMARY:
  On July 9, 2020 at approximately 23:38 hours within the jurisdiction of Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Lake Mead Interagency Communications Center (LMICC) received a report of a vessel accident at the Las Vegas Boat Harbor. The reporting party was identified as Witness 1 who is a security guard at the Las Vegas Boat Harbor. Witness 1 informed dispatch that a vessel crashed into the Las Vegas Boat Harbor dock near the security guard station. Witness 1 informed dispatch that he asked the operator of the boat to stay on scene as park rangers were on their way to take a report. Witness 1 told dispatch that the group yelled at him in an aggressive manor before leaving the area. 
       
  ASSIGNMENT:
  I was dispatched to the Las Vegas Boat Harbor by LMICC at approximately 23:38 hours on a report of a vessel accident. 
  
  NARRATIVE:
  I was on boat patrol with Officer on the northeast side of the Boulder Basin. It was reported by LMICC that a vessel struck the dock near the guard station at the Las Vegas Boat Harbor. The occupants of the vessel were reported to have a verbal altercation with Las Vegas Boat Harbor security staff before leaving the accident scene. 
  
  ACTION TAKEN:
  I arrived on scene at the Las Vegas Boat Harbor at approximately 00:20 hours. I contacted Witness 1 and identified him by state driver's license. Witness 1 pointed at a vessel docked in the Las Vegas Boat Harbor and informed me that it was the involved vessel from the accident. I observed a white SeaDoo vessel parked near the guard station with its bow pointed towards the dock. LMICC informed me that the vessel returned to a Individual 1. 
  
  I observed damage to the bow of the vessel. I also observed that the dock in front of the vessel had sustained damage. 
  
  I impounded the vessel so rangers could identify the owner and operator of the vessel when they returned for their vessel. 
  
  I interviewed Witness 1 and received a voluntary and verbal statement from him (see interview below and attached written statement). 
  
  I cleared the scene at approximately 01:19 hours. 
  
  On July 10, 2020 at approximately 1400 hours, Officer was dispatched to Las Vegas Boat Harbor on a report that the owner of the vessel had returned to retrieve his vessel. Officer identified the operator of the vessel as Operator by state driver's license. 
  
  Officer interviewed and received a voluntary statement from Operator (see attached). 
  
  Officer issued MEJIA a violation notice under my name for failing to report an accident with damage over $2,000. Officer informed me that Operator stated that he did not stay to file a report due to a family emergency that was ongoing outside of Lake Mead NRA jurisdiction. 
  
  Officer asked Las Vegas Boat Harbor staff if they wanted to seek retribution for damages to the dock. Las Vegas Boat Harbor staff informed Officer that they did not seek payment for the damage to the dock. 
  
  INTERVIEWS:
  
  Witness 1:
  
  I learned from Witness 1 that he observed a vessel with several people aboard, travel at a high rate of speed before crashing into the Las Vegas Boat Harbor dock near the guard station. Witness 1 approached the individuals and observed them picking up debris including alcoholic beverage containers from the dock. Witness 1 informed the group associated with the boat that he reported the vessel accident and that park rangers were on their way to the accident scene to take a report. Witness 1 informed me that after he asked the group to wait for rangers to arrive that the group became agitated with him and told him not to call the park rangers. The group left the dock before rangers arrived on scene. 
  
  Witness 1 (see Officer's supplemental report) states in his voluntary statement that he “accidently hit the dock"...
