RedactedNarrative: On Saturday August 26, 2017, we responded to the Bainbridge Marina in Decatur County in regards to a boating incident. Upon arrival it was discovered that a vessel had become lodged on top of a submerged stump south of the State Docks on Lake Seminole. We made contact with the operator and occupants of the vessel who were still on scene with the swamped vessel.
  
  The operator stated the throttle cable broke on the vessel while he was travelling north towards the Boat Basin. He indicated that the vessel drifted and became lodged on top of a stump. He advised that he attempted to use the trolling motor to get the vessel off of the stump, but it would not do anything but turn in circles. He indicated that other vessels were passing by causing wakes and the stump eventually punctured the bottom of the vessel causing it to sink. Subjectand an 11 year old child were occupants on the vessel. There were no reports of injuries. The adult occupants of the vessel provided written statements of what occurred. Photographs of the damages to the vessel were taken. The vessel was towed to the Bainbridge Marina by Decatur County Fire and Rescue where it was turned back over to the owner.
