RedactedNarrative: On Friday, July 25, 2014 at approximately 10:00 a.m., Sgt. contacted Ofc. concerning a boating accident that had occurred at Echo Hill Outdoor School on July 16, 2014, but was never reported to the Maryland Natural Resources Police. Chester River Hospital had contacted Sgt. regarding the incident. Ofc. went to Echo Hill Outdoor School the evening of July 25, 2014 to speak to an individual in charge regarding the incident. Upon speaking with several of the counselors that were in the office about the boat accident that was not reported, Ofc. gave a copy of the Maryland Natural Resources Laws/Regulations, which pertained to boat accidents, to the counselors and informed them to contact the Maryland Natural Resources Police whenever they have a boating accident that falls within the stipulations of the laws/regulations. Ofc. also gave a blank copy of the State of Maryland Watercraft Accident Report to the counselors to be completed with information about the boating accident that occurred on July 16, 2014. Ofc. asked the counselors when the report would be ready to be picked up and was told that the report would be ready on Monday, July 28, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. Ofc. informed the counselors that if the boat accident would have been reported immediately that the Maryland Natural Resources Police would have conducted the investigation and would have also completed the State of Maryland Watercraft Accident Report. However, since a week or more had gone by, the Maryland Natural Resources Police were asking that the counselor who was on the vessel at the time of the accident, complete the report. 
  
  Following is the information that was in the "Narrative Description & Investigative Action" section of the State of Maryland Watercraft Accident Report: "Vessel #1 and #2 were sailing on a port tack in heavily congested waters when vessel number two, which was upwind of vessel 1, was forced downwind towards vessel 1 due to inattentive smaller boats congesting the waters in front of it. When vessel 2 turned downwind and began to tack, the wind and current propelled vessel 2 into vessel 1, which was on such a tight tack that and attempt to head more downwind would created a more dangerous situation and let the boat stranded in mid tack to be rammed by vessel 2. To prevent the two boats from colliding, the operator of vessel 1 put his hand between the two boats and redirected vessel 2. This is how the bruising occurred." 
  
  All of the events occurred in Kent County, Maryland.
