  NARRATIVE
  
  On August 10th, 2021, at approximately 1720 hours., I, Officer 1, was called by Park superintendent. Park superintendent informed me there was a boat accident at the Pine Marina and the operator is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. Upon my arrival at approximately 1750 hours., two marina employees pointed towards a female, later identified as V1 Operator, beside a truck on the boat ramp and told me that she was the driver that hit the other boat. I approached V1 Operator and asked if she was the driver. V1 Operator said yes. I noticed V1 Operator's eyes were bloodshot and watery. I asked V1 Operator what happened. Her statement was short and did not make sense as to what happened. V1 Operator stated she went in reverse, something about the current, and going too fast. I had not smelled any odor of alcoholic beverage and did not see anything in her mouth while she was talking to me. On the way to the boats, V1 Operator asked if it was just a fine. I told her it depended on if she had anything to drink and asked her if she had been drinking. V1 Operator's response was "not really." Her tone of voice and facial expression gave the impression that she had been drinking alcoholic beverages. V1 Operator stated she wasn't the driver then.
  
  I asked V1 Operator who was driving. Her response was they were driving, as she pointed at her group. I told her she was the one identified as being the driver. V1 Operator again admitted to driving. I asked V1 Operator again how much she had to drink. Her response was "a couple." On the marina, V1 Operator pointed out the boat she hit. Owner of the marina, came to me and gave me a copy of the mooring rental agreement for the owner of the boat that V1 Operator damaged. V1 Operator asked Marina owner if she could just pay for the damages and be done. I informed her she would need to take care of that with the owner. I asked Marina Owner where the damage was done. The damage was done on the back starboard side of the pontoon. Pictures were taken of damage visible on the pontoon boat from the marina dock. Marina owner also informed me V1 Operator had hit the 400 docks, hut no damage was done. I asked who saw her operating the boat. Witness came forward and identified V1 Operator as the driver of the boat that hit the parked pontoon boat. I asked Witness about what time the incident happened. V1 Operator started talking as though she was going to answer, but did not say a time until Witness said around 5:00 PM. V1 Operator then started telling me about how she was backing out to go forward to the gas dock. She didn't have much of a slur but the way she was talking with her sentences was giving me another clue. Marina owner came back and informed me that there was no discernable damage to his rental pontoon boat.
  
  I then proceeded to take V1 Operator hack to shore where I preformed the seated standardized field sobriety test. I started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. After telling her not to move her head four times, I was able to finish. V1 Operator had nystagmus in both eyes in the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, giving a total of six clues. V1 Operator also showed vertical nystagmus in both eyes. I did the next finger to nose test. l did add an extra left in the performance but did not count it. V1 Operator demonstrated with her eyes open that she could touch the tip of her finger to the tip of her nose. During the test, V1 Operator did not use the tip of her finger on all steps. The last three steps she was higher on her nose and would slide it down to the tip squashing her nose down giving a total of nine clues. The third step was the palm pat. V1 Operator did a couple of rolled-hand with a couple of chop-pat indicators. I had to repeat for her to speed up, and she stopped before I told her to. This gave me four clues. The final test was the hand coordination. V1 Operator slid her fist over the other fist (not as demonstrated). After the hand clap, V1 Operator's fists were in the wrong position, causing her left fist not to touch her chest. This was three clues. At this point, I arrested V1 Operator for boating under the influence. V1 Operator was cuffed and secured in my unit. I proceeded to take her to the visitor center to the Intoxylizer 8000. I read V1 Operator the implied consent and answered questions she had. I did explain the difference between boating under the influence and driving. I did tell V1 Operator that if she consented, I would write her the citation instead of taking her to jail. V1 Operator consented. V1 Operator's breath alcohol content was 0.16 and 0.15. Time of observation at approximately 1750 hours to time of test was 1814 hours: approximately 24 minutes deprivation time. The unit appeared to be operating during the test. I wrote V1 Operator a citation for boating under the influence (66-13-3). I informed her I could write a citation for minor in possession and reckless operation. V1 Operator was released to her friends.
  
  On August 11th, 2021, at approximately 1500 hours, V2 Owner contacted me by phone. V2 Owner agreed to call me when he was at the lake to pull his boat on August 12th. On August 12th,2021, at approximately 1430 hours, Park Manager called me, telling me he had put Witness's written statement on my desk. From reading Witness's statement, I gathered that V1 Operator, who Witness identified the day before, did multiple things wrong when operating the pontoon boat. First, V1 Operator should have started the boat before untying from the dock, allowing the back of the boat drift towards the V2 Owner's boat. Second, when the engine wouldn't start, she should have looked to check the emergency cut off switch. Third, she did not listen to Witness by throttling it in reverse instead of gently putting it in forward as instructed.
  
  On August 12th, 2021, at approximately 0930 hours, V2 Owner called me telling he was pulling the boat out of the water. I met V2 Owner at the pine boat ramp. I noticed the starboard back side siding panel was pushed in and the structure was separated from the deck. I also noticed the cushion cover above it was pushed up. Upon inspecting the outboard motor, the starboard lower unit had a prop cut mark, and the port side had a stress crack from the impact. These damages were all consistent with the vessel V1 Operator was operating backing into V2 Owner's vessel. Pictures were taken of damage. There was some damage to the port back panel but was not discernable enough to make a positive decision, and V2 Owner was not as concerned with that damage. After multiple discussions, it was figured the damage was at least $2,000 or more. V2 Owner agreed to tell me what the insurance adjuster's dollar value was so I could amend the report in a supplement if needed. V1 Operator was cited for Boating Under the Influence 66-13-3 and released. Pictures, recordings, written statement, Standardized Field Sobriety Test, and BAC are available.
