RedactedNarrative: On June 24th at 0142 hrs I, Officer, was dispatched to a reported boat accident resulting in an injury. I learned from dispatch that one of the individuals involved in the accident was taken to Anne Arundel County Medical Center in Annapolis. 
  
   Upon arriving at Anne Arundel County Medical Center I learned that Victim had suffered two lacerations, one on his right foot and the other on his right calf. Victim had been taken there by Anne Arundel Station 8 Medic 48. He had non-life threatening injuries. I was told that he would not be held for observation but would be released as soon as they had finished treating him. 
   At this point I began trying to find the vessel in question, MD 5940 E. Sgt. and I went to the registered address of the vessel. We were not able to locate the vessel there. Since there had been no fatalities we ended our investigation for the night. 
  
   The next day we began trying to contact the people who were onboard the vessel. As my investigation progressed I learned that there were five people on the vessel. 
  
   After compiling witness statements it seems that the five people on the vessel met at the Annapolis Landing Marina where the vessel is kept in a slip. They then proceeded to go on a cruise up the South River before stopping for dinner at a waterfront restaurant. After they had finished eating they got back into the boat and were going back down the South River when they heard a small craft advisory come out from the Coast Guard. The operator of the vessel, Operator asked everyone to remain in the cabin of the vessel. They continued out of the South River and as they were rounding the Thomas Point Light House when Occupant1 attempted to climb from the cabin up to the bridge of the vessel. At this point they were riding through 2-3 foot waves and Occupant1 lost his balance and went overboard.
  
   Occupant2 immediately noticed that they had a man overboard and alerted Operator. Operator circled the boat around in an attempt to find Occupant1. Occupant1 was calling to them from the water so they were able to get close enough for Occupant3 to spot him. Occupant3 did not believe that he could get the life ring to him by throwing it so he jumped in to swim it out to him. By this point the vessel had been pushed by the waves and current far enough that Operator had to reposition the vessel. 
  
   When they got back into position Operator got his spare life ring and tied a line to it. Operator then handed the line and ring to victim. Victim then threw the life ring without cleating it off. He then jumped in after the life ring. Occupant1 and Occupant3 were able to swim back to the vessel with the aid of the life ring and climbed back on board without incident. Victim also swam back to the vessel but while climbing on he injured his foot and calf with the propeller. 
  
   Initially Operator did not realize that anything was wrong however his friend noticed that Victim was vomiting on the back of the vessel and alerted Operator. Operator had his friends turn Victim onto his side so that he would not choke. It was at this point that they noticed that he was bleeding profusely from his leg and foot. Operator then directed his friends to begin applying pressure to the wounds using towels from the vessel’s cabin and then made for the nearest point of land. Operator had previously lived in Arundel on the Bay so he knew the area fairly well and new that he could tie up his boat to the fishing pier there and find help. During this time he also had his friend call for an ambulance to meet them. 
  
   They made it to land and were met by the ambulance. Operator asked the emergency responders if there was anything else they needed from him and they told him that there was not and that he was free to go. At this point Operator returned his vessel to its slip and he and his friends returned home.  All events happened in Anne Arundel County Maryland.
