RedactedNarrative: On August 14, 2016 at approximately 2130 hours I, OFC, received a call from our communications center regarding a sunken vessel that was called in by Tow Boat US.
  
   I contacted the owner of the sunken vessel on August 15, 2016 at approximately 1700 hours and  these are the events as they were explained to me by the owner and operator of the sunken vessel.  On August 14, 2016 at approximately 1830 hours Operator and subject boarded the boat,  a 31' Wellcraft Scarab, and headed to Tims II for dinner.  Upon arriving at Tims II Operator and Subject were in the process of anchoring their vessel when the weather turned bad due to an imminent storm.  Subject threw the anchor overboard and Operator was attempting to set the anchor but was unsuccessful and the vessel started drifting backward.  The propellers of Operator's vessel became entwined in the anchor line of another vessel causing Operator's engines to cut off.  Without power Operator's vessel  turned sideways to the waves and started to take on water and sink.  A good Samaritan on a PWC picked up Operator and Subject and took them home.  Operator then contacted Tow Boat US and his insurance agency immediately.  
   
   Tow Boat US arrived on scene at Tim's II on August 14, 2016 at approximately 2030 hours and located Operators vessel.   Tow Boat Operator instructed the owner / operator of the second vessel to cut his anchor line and exit  the area to eliminate the possibility of any damage to the vessel or injury to persons on board.  Tow Boat Operator tied a line and buoy marker to the sunken vessel but did not attempt to salvage it due to the impeding storm.  
   
  On August 15, 2016 at approximately 1300 hours Tow Boat US returned to Tim's II  to salvage Operator's sunken vessel and tow the vessel to Hope Springs Marina located at 4 Hope Springs Ln, Stafford, VA 22554.  The vessel will remain at Hope Springs Marina until the insurance company is able to make an assessment of the damages.  Operator will contact me after the assessment has been made by his insurance company.
   
   This is an on going investigation. 
   
  All events occurred in Charles County, Maryland.
