We followed up with Jacob Russell who was the owner of the the fiberglass Nitro bass boat that was rammed by Potts and co-worker in a jon boat on Ft. Cobb Lake. He was aware of the charges and is still seeking restitution for the damage done to his boat. His boat had to be totaled by insurance because it is now considered as having been in an accident which voids the warranty on their boat. The outboard motor was also badly damaged as was the trolling motor and some rods.
