The OPP were called to the public boat launch on Bayview Drive, along the eastern edge of the Bay of Quinte. Someone had called 911 to report that a man who might be intoxicated was attempting to unload a jet ski at the boat launch.

When the officers were headed to the scene, the OPP was informed that a man and woman wearing life jackets were seen riding the jet ski in the Bay of Quinte.
