On Saturday, June 15, 2013 at approximately 0924 hours, subject was attempting to wakeboard for the first time behind a 1996 17'' Maxum speed boat. This activity was taking place across from Bagley Flat on Saguaro Lake in the Tonto National Forest. 
Subject was in the water behind boat ready for him to accelerate. Shortly after OPERATOR accelerated and began towing Subject, she heard a popping noise in her upper right leg. She then felt an immediate pain that radiated from her right hip down to her knee. She was in so much pain that she was unable to board their boat. 

Upon my arrival, we safely helped her out of the water onto my vessel by means of the dive door on my starboard side. Subject was in obvious pain however, she did not have any obvious signs of bone breakage. I transported her to the Sheriff''s Aid Station where treatment was turned over to Rural Fire Department Medics (Incident # 13107880). She subsequently signed a medical refusal and opted to be transported to the hospital by her husband. 

I contacted Subject''s husband the following day and he said that x rays indicated that she did not have any broken bones and that more than likely the injury is muscle or tendon related.

Nothing further by this Deputy.
