RedactedNarrative: On 08/19/2017 at around 8:30pm Operator1 was trying to dock his cabin boat at the Blue Gill Grill and backed into a pontoon boat that was tied to the dock.  I arrived on scene at around 9:07pm and after checking with the occupants of the pontoon boat I made contact with Operator1 and his passenger.  While I was talking to Operator1 at his boat and getting his information I noticed that he seemed a little unsteady while he walked and stood.  I asked Operator1 to come up to my vehicle with me so that I could talk to him further away from the noise of the band that was playing at the Blue Gill Grill.  While I was talking to Operator1 I noticed an odor of alcohol on his breath.  I asked Operator1 if he had been drinking and he admitted to having drunk a couple of beers.  I asked Operator1 to do sobriety tests and he did.  Based on my contact with Operator1 and his performance on the tests I arrested Operator1 for Boating Under the Influence.  
  SGT. arrived to assist with the accident investigation about the same time as I arrested Operator1.  I asked Sgt. to get the information from the occupants of the pontoon boat and any witnesses.  The owner of the pontoon boat, arrived and Sgt. talked to him.  The damage to the pontoon boat did not appear to be very bad initially, a cracked cowling, but  when owner tried to start the motor and it wouldn''t start up.  Owner told Sgt. that he would have the motor looked at and get an estimate on repairs.  Owner contacted me on 08/28/2017 and advised that the estimate to repair his boat from the accident was around $2900.00.
  
  Operator1''s BAC was 0.140 around 2.5hrs after the accident.
