RedactedNarrative: On June 8, 2017 at 12:48 pm I received a text from our office, regarding a phone call that she received from the Oconee News. A reporter had been given information about a boating incident that had occurred on June 3, 2017. No one with DNR-LE had been given this information. I called Reporter in regards to this article. Reporter had seen a Facebook page asking for help to identify the vessel that had caused two females to be ejected off a PWC (personal watercraft). The Facebook article had been posted by Lake Country Pharmacy And Compounding Center. The article talked of a hit and run with the two females receiving broken leg injuries. I started trying to identify persons involved as well as their contact information since this appeared to be a reportable boating incident. 
  
  Sgt. was also investigating the case. Sgt. obtained phone numbers through the pharmacy and Greene County Dispatch. I contacted Operator1, which was driving the PWC involved. She agreed to meet me at her home at around noon on the next day, June 9th. I then calleda passenger with Operator1, no one answered. I then called a Operator2 on the other PWC, and he agreed to meet me at v1 occupant’s house that night. V1 occupant turned out to be his girlfriend. I arrived at V1 occupant house around 2040 pm. 
  
  Both Operator2 and V1 occupant gave written and verbal statements. Their statements stated that they were riding PWCs on Lake Oconee around the Old Salem campground area on June 3, 2017. Operator1 and V1 occupant were on one PWC. Operator2 was operating the second PWC. Operator2 flagged the two girls down, wanting to stop and talk to them. Both PWCs were stopped at approximately 30 yards apart. Then a white ski boat with yellow top and pulling a yellow tube drove between the PWCs. The wake from the boat caused the two PWCs to turn over and ejected the occupants. The incident occurred around 1645 pm. This caused both Operator1 and V1 occupant to break their left legs. Operator2 swam over and took Operator1 to the shoreline first because her injuries appeared to be more severe. He then came back to get V1 occupant and helped her to shore. EMS transported Operator1 to Athens Regional and V1 occupant was driven by car to St. Mary's Good Samaritan. 
  
  Operator1 suffered from a broken femur and received surgery that night to fix her leg. A rod was inserted and she received eleven staples on three wounds. V1 occupant's injuries involved a fractured fibula and possible sprained ankle. More injuries may be present on V1 occupant's knee but doctor could not tell due to swelling. I asked for the location of the Polaris and if I could take a look at it. Operator2 said yes. He said it was located at his mother's residence on Hwy 278. I told him I would go by there the next day. 
  
  On June 9, 2017 Ranger and I examined the Polaris PWC that Operator2 was riding on the day of incident. There was an extreme amount of scratches and not consistent with normal wear. All the marks were only present on one side, the port side. The marks appeared to be new. This led me to believe that this PWC may have been involved.  
                                                                                                            
  On June 9, 2017 at approximately 12:40 pm Ranger and I interviewed Operator1 at her house. She stated that she was riding around Lake Oconee on a jet ski and had an accident. She was driving and V1 occupant was her passenger. Operator2 was on the other jet ski. She stated that she didn't remember much. She remembered being in the water, being in a lot of pain, and getting back to shore. She stated that she did feel like something hit her causing her leg to break. I asked her the location of the Kawasaki PWC that she was operating and she stated that it was next to the BP on Hwy. 44. 
  
  Ranger and I then proceeded to the warehouse next to the BP where the Kawasaki PWC was located. We met …
