   On 08/09/09 at 14:15 I Officer 1 was advised of an individual in the water at Fish Springs Marina on Watauga Lake in Carter County, TN.  The individual was in the water just a few boat slips down from where my patrol boat  is docked and where I was at the time of notification.  When I arrived to the scene, Passenger 1 was in the water and couldn’t re-board the vessel ( TN8576 CG) or the dock.  I , Officer 1, and some other citizens helped Passenger 1 put on a personal flotation device.  At this point, I instructed a pontoon boat with a ladder to come to assist  Passenger 1.  When the pontoon arrived, Passenger 1 was assisted onto the pontoon via the ladder and brought to the dock.  Passenger 1's arm appeared to be injured and she refused Emergency Medical Services to be called.  Instead, Passenger 1’s, husband Operator 1 would transport  her to Sycamore Shoals Hospital.  Upon arrival at  Sycamore Shoals Hospital, I Officer 1 met with them to take statements and assess injuries.  After Passenger 1 was x rayed the staff at Sycamore Shoals Hospital determined that Passenger 1 had suffered a broken arm 
  Based on statements, Operator 1 was the operator of the pontoon vessel TN 8576 CG, and was returning to dock at Fish Springs Marina slip 88.  At which point Operator 1 lined up the vessel for docking and turned the motor off.  Passenger 1 was standing at the port side gate when the vessel was approaching the dock.  The vessel was being secured to the dock by port side cleats.  When the vessel was drifting closer to the dock, Passenger 1 stepped to the dock to secure the vessel.  At this point, Passenger 1 slipped into the water and struck her arm on the dock causing the injury.
