RedactedNarrative: On 5/30/2020 at approximately 1710 hours Victim lost 1/4 inch off his finger by getting it caught between the vessel and the anchor line.  This was the only vessel involved in this accident. The vessel was in the process of anchoring in Shell Key.  The front anchor was already down.  Victim was in the process of setting the rear anchor on the port side of the vessel.  He stated it was choppy due to the wind and vessel traffic.  His ring finger on his left hand got caught between the vessel and anchor line and caused a laceration.  He was missing about ¼ inch off the top of his finger. 
  
  Officer and I were on state water patrol in the Treasure Island Causeway.   At approximately 1730 hours Operator’s vessel approached ours.  The passengers on the vessel were waiving at us to get our attention.  Victim and his girlfriend were assisted onto our vessel and placed in PFDs.  They were transported to Treasure Island Police Department to be evaluated by the Treasure Island Fire Department.  While being interviewed, Victim stated he had 5-6 beers.  It is possible this contributed to the accident.  Victim was later brought to Palm Hospital in South Pasadena to be treated for the laceration on his finger.;
