At the above date and time I, Ranger First Class (RFC) with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, was on patrol in Cartersville with Corporal (CPL).  CPL received a call about a boat incident involving 2 Personal Watercraft (PWC) with injuries at Little River on Allatoona Lake.  CPL and I proceeded to Little River Bar and Grill by truck to meet with the parties involved.

     When we arrived on scene, CPL and I met with Cherokee County Deputy near the courtesy dock at Little River Bar and Grill.  Deputy gave me the information of all the parties involved and a brief description of the incident according to the operators and occupant.  CPL began to talk to the operators of the PWCs.  

According to Subject1, he and Subject2 were on the black PWC while Subject3 was on the white PWC.  The parties had been trading off riding singles and doubles all afternoon.  Subject3 was approaching Subject1 and Subject2 in an attempt to spray them.  Subject3 had complete his turn to the left and still had enough momentum that he struck the left side of Subject1's PWC almost parallel.  Subject3's PWC struck Subject1 in the left ankle and Subject2 in the left leg.  They then proceeded to the courtesy dock at Little River Bar and Grill where 911 was called.

     After reviewing the description of the incident it was determined that Subject3 was attempting to spray his friends with the PWC.  Subject3 was charged with operating PWC above idle speed within 100 feet of object in the water.  The parties were released from the scene.  Subject3 and Subject2 said that they were going to Urgent care to have Subject2's left leg checked out by a doctor.  I told Subject3 that I would call him at the number he gave me to check on Subject2 the following day.

I called Subject3 on June 16, 2013 to check on Subject2.  He said that she just had some bruising on her left leg and that she was fine.
