RedactedNarrative: Prelude:  
  One female was injured in a boat accident with a motor prop on brookville reservoir.  
     
  Details of investigation/ incident:  
  I, indiana conservation officer, was on boat patrol in a fully marked conservation officer patrol boat on 6/27/2021 at approximately 14:45 hours. Franklin county dispatch contacted me and advised there was a boat accident that took place in front mounds state recreation area beach. They advised they are going to kent's harbor to wait for the ambulance.   
     
  I arrived at kent's harbor at 14:50 hours and located the boat involved in the accident. The motorboat was a 2019 black bentley elite pontoon with ohio registration oh 3007 fx. The injured female had a large gash on her right hip. 
  
  I asked operator1 to tell me what happened and he replied victim was tubing behind the boat and fell off. He stated, they circled the boat back around to pick victim up and a large wake boarding boat passed by creating a large wake. Operator1 stated, he saw victim duck her head under the water and when she came back up she said the prop cut her. Operator1 said the large wake of the passing boat pushed victim into the prop of their boat. He said the boat was in neutral at the time victim struck the prop.   
     
  During my conversation with operator1 i observed that his eyes were red and watery and i smelled the odor of alcohol emanating from his person. I asked operator1 how much alcohol he consumed this day and he replied a few beers. 
  
  I asked operator1 to put a life jacket on and enter my boat for standard field sobriety tests to see if he was ok to operate a boat. I conducted standard seated field sobriety test on operator1. The first test i conducted on operator1 was the horizontal gaze nystagmus test where operator1 showed 4 out of the 6 clues. Operator1 passed the finger to nose test, by showing 7 clues. I conducted the palm pat test where operator1 failed the test by showing 2 clues. Operator1 passed the hand coordination test by showing 2 clues (see attached standard seated field sobriety test field notes document). I offered operator1 a portable breath test and his bac results were 0.077 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. I advised operator1 that he did show some signs of impairment and he is not to operate the motorboat or vehicle until his bac drops.   
     
  Victim was transported to the hospital by union county ems.
