RedactedNarrative: On July 17,2016 at 2000 hours operator was towing victim on a tube with a 2008 Sea-Doo Personal Watercraft (PWC) in the area of Bald Ridge Creek on Lake Lanier. Operator was attempting to make a left turn away from the shoreline and when he did the tube that Victim was on was slung to the right side of the PWC’s wake.  This happened at the same time as the tube bounced off of some choppy waves. Victim was ejected from the tube and into the shore. Landing on some rocks hitting her head. Forsyth County 911 was called immediately. Victim was conscious and responsive at the time of transport and she had a large laceration on her head. 
   
  RFCs were patrolling Lake Lanier in the area of Bald Ridge Creek at the time of the incident. We responded at the request of Forsyth County Marine units. When we arrived on scene the Forsyth County Marine Units told us that a female had already been transported to North Fulton Regional Hospital with injuries to her arm and head. They also indicated that the operator was showing signs of impairment.
  
  Once I was on the dock I introduced myself to Operator and began asking him questions related to the boating incident. Operator told me that he was towing Victim with the PWC and he went to turn away from the shore. When he did the tube swung towards the shore and hit some waves ejecting Victim onto the shore. While I was talking to Operator about the incident I noticed some signs that he may be impaired. When asked, Operator admitted that he had consumed 4 beers since about 1500 hours.  
  
  I performed Field sobriety exercises on Operator and determined that he was under the influence of alcohol. I arrested Operator for Boating Under the Influence and towing without an observer with a PWC. 
  
  On July 18,2016 I spoke with Victim on the phone and she told me that she had been released from the emergency room and was recovering at home. She told me that she was treated for a large laceration on her head and that she received 19 staples on her forehead and on the top of her head. Victim told me that she estimated that the tube was travelling approximately 25 mph when she was ejected. She stated that it happened so fast that all she remembered  was that she saw the shore coming closer and that she thought about jumping off the tube but before she had a chance to jump off the tube, she was thrown off the tube and hit her head on the rocky shore.
