On March 17, 2012 at approximately 6:30 p.m. I Sr. Agent was contacted by the Iberville Parish Sheriff Department in reference to a boating incident.  The Sheriff's Department advised me that the incident took place just south of Jack Miller's boat landing in Iberville Parish.  Upon arrival to the location of the incident, I, Sr. Agent spoke with operator.  Operator advised me that he was traveling south in Grand River when his vessel hit a big rope floating just under the water causing his vessel to stop suddenly.  The sudden stop caused two of his passengers to come out of the seats onto the front deck of his vessel.  Two people both sustained minor injuries from the sudden stop.   Operator advised us that he did not know where the rope came from, but they had several tug boats tied up in the area where he hit the rope.  I. Sr. Agent asked Operator if he got the names off of any of the tug boats and he stated "no he did not".  I. Sr. Agent asked Operator if his vessel had any damage.  Operator stated "no the boat was fine".  Two people both went to the Baton Rouge General to be checked out .  See attached medical records. 
I, Sr. Agent went to the location of the incident to try to locate the rope and any tug boats in the area, but was unable to locate the rope or any tug boats in the area.
