27-year-old James Patrick Lewis boated his vessel near the “no-wake” zone of Percy Priest Lake around 8:05 p.m. on June 2nd. Officers noticed he did not have rear navigation lights as he headed towards the outside of Elm Hill Marina, so they conducted a stop. When officers approached the boat, they discovered it had an expired Kentucky registration and a White Claw near the helm. Officers prompted him with sobriety tests, and he performed poorly before refusing to provide a chemical sample. Lewis was taken into custody for boating under the influence and an implied consent violation.
