RedactedNarrative: I was dispatched on july 27, 2013 at 11:47 a.m., to a boat accident just south of “the sandbar” on lake freeman by carroll county sherriff dept.  Carroll county advised me that they had been advised by white county sherriff dept. Of a boat that struck a stump and was sinking.  By the time i arrived at 12:07, i could only see a portion of the windshield above water.  There was another boat next to the sunken boat helping gather materials.  operator stated he was idling along and struck an object under the water.  He got out of the boat and discovered it was a stump and it had put a “fist sized” hole in the fiberglass hull.  
  
  Operator already had everything he could in the boat that was already assisting.  I had Operator get in my boat and we picked up an idle buoy that was out of place and placed it next to Operator's boat for safety purposes.   I advised Operator that his insurance would have to pay someone to recover the boat.  We then headed to shore and i made sure that no medical assistance was needed.  Operator said everyone was fine.  Operator stated that the kids had put on the pfd's and floated to shore.  I received the registration and a driver's license from Operator.  I copied his information and took his statement.  I gave Operator a copy of the operators report to fill out.  After i received all the information i needed from him, i gave Operator a paper with my phone number and dist 3's office and advised him to call us when they plan on doing the recovery.  I took pictures of the accident and took a gps reading with the unit in the boat.  The sonar stated the depth was 4.2 ft.  The gps coordinate is n40*44.706', w 86*44.688'.
