RedactedNarrative: At 1407 hrs on 7/17/10, NRO received a call on his cell phone from JF CO dispatch regarding a boating accident on Perry lake.  He was advised that a subject had received injuries from a propeller and that they were at the Perry marina.  
  
  At approximately 1440 hrs, NRO arrived at said marina and briefly spoke with JFSO #42 regarding said incident.  Deputy was also on scene at said time along with Army Corps of Engineers Nat. Res. Ranger.  JFSO provided NRO with a list of the parties involved as well as the vessel''s numbers.  He furthered advised that he''d spoken with the operator of said vessel, and had not observed any indications of him being under the influence of alcohol.  he further advised that he had not observed any alcohol on board said vessel.  he then walked back to where said vessel was tied to the marina''s dock to look again and thereafter, informed NRO that he had observed a 12 pack of beer.
  
  At approximately 1450 hrs, NRO spoke three people, and provided them with a blank statement form, requesting them to fill out what they recalled regarding said incident.  They did so thereafter (enclosures 1,2, and 3).  While speaking with them, they advised that they had put their vessel in on the Slough Creek boat ramp and had just arrived at the Party Cove area when the incident occurred.  They advised that while they were attempting to set the anchor (from the bow), they were slowly backing the vessel.  It was not known whether Victim jumped or fell off while backing, but after she''d entered the water from the stern, her leg, near the ankle, came into contac twith the propeller, causing lacerations to it.  After hearing her screams, she was immediately pulled from the water, onto the vessel and transported to the Perry yach and Marina Club.
  
  At 1454 hrs, NRO inspected and took photos of said vessel while it was located near the gas pumps at the Perry Yacht and Marina Club.  At said time he observed what appeared to be a 12 pack of beer located between the seat and console on the passenger''s side.  NRO did not observe any cans or bottles though.
  
  At approximately 1545 hrs, NRO arrived at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, KS.  While there, he spoke with Operator who was standing next to Victim, comforting her as the doctor''s examined her lower leg.  NRO requested that Operator fill out a statement regarding said incident (enclosure 4); he did so thereafter.  While speaking with Operator, he appeared composed and no indications of him being under the influence of alcohol were observed by NRO.  Operator informed NRO that he was unsure of whether Victim jumped or fell into the water while he was slowly backing his vessel to set the anchor.  Immediately after realizing Victim was in distress, he pulled her from the water, grabbing onto her personal flotation device, and onto the vessel where they then wrapped her wounds with a towel.
  
  At approximately 1305 hrs on 7/29/10, NRO again spoke with Operator via telephone and was advised that Victim had received stitches, but no nerve, tendon, or muscle damage appeared to have been sustained.  Operator also advised that he had only had a couple sips of beer on the day of said accident.
