On 6/8/2023, at approximately 1658 hours, I, Ofc., with Maryland Natural Resources Police, received a call from DNR communications, about a boating accident that happened on Saturday 06/03/2023. 

Subject1 informed me that his boat was struck while tied up to the dock at the Honi Honi bar. The incident happened on Saturday 06/03/2023 at approximately 1330 hours. I asked Subject1 why he waited so long to report it, and he stated that he spent the week speaking to his insurance company and wanted to document the incident. Subject1 informed me that he had a video of the incident and the owner of the Honi Honi bar witnessed it also. 

I contacted the manager of the Honi Honi bar and was able to view the video and was given a copy. A pontoon boat with approximately 6 people, backed out of a slip and sped forward, striking Subject1's boat, MD registration, Subject1's boat pushed up on to the dock. Damage was done to the stern of Subject1's boat, and his motor. Damage was also done to the front port side of his boat from being forced up onto the dock. No one was on Subject1's boat at that time of the accident. Subject1 drove his boat to Bill's Marina for repairs. Estimated repairs are approximately $3,500 to $4,000 dollars. 

Due to the poor resolution of the video, the registration number for the striking vessel is unreadable. 

Pictures are attached to this report. 

The video was unable to be attached. 

All events occurred in Garrett County, Maryland.
