On 9/4/2010 at approx. 1420 hrs. Victim1 was being towed by Operator on a tube.  Operator turned around and threw Victim1 from the tube.  Victim1 hit her head on the water surface along with another young female that was also on the tube with Victim1.  Victim1 did not get back into the vessel at this time.  Victim1 and the other young female got back onto the tube to continue with the water activities.  Shortly after Victim1 got back onto the tube she began to feel ill.  She advised her friend that her head hurt badly and that she was going to puke.  Operator took Victim1 back to shore, where she met her mother.  Operator went back out on the water.  
Approximately one hour later EMS was notified by the victims father as she was still not feeling well.  NRO arrived at the site to complete the boat accident information and met resistance from the victims mother, who did not want to supply any information.  Officer believes that there may have been alcohol being consumed.  The father of the victim supplied information to Officer and informed him of the campsite location for the boat operator.  Officer located this campsite and interviewed Operator, the operator of the vessel.  Operator stated that he turned the boat to turn around and Victim1 fell off the tube.  A strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected on Operator and he complied to a preliminary breath test of which he passed with a reading of .012%.  Officer supplied witness statement forms to Operator for the occupants to fill out so he could retrieve them the next day.  Officer left the camp site of Operator as EMS was leaving and transporting Victim1 to Saint Francis Hospital located in Wichita.  Victim1 was admitted over night for observation as she suffered a mild concussion.
Officer tried several times over the next few days to get the statements from Operator.  The only statement that Officer was able to obtain was from Operator.  Operator will not answer any more questions from Officer and will not respond to any messages left him.
