RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, June 16th, 2019 at approximately 14:45 hours, I, Game Warden, a Georgia POST certified Peace Officer with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Law Enforcement Division, Region 1 Acworth, was notified by GSP dispatch in regards to a person that was struck by a propeller of a vessel. 
  
  The subject and vessel were located in Tanyard Creek. The operator of the vessel was assisting with transporting the inured individual though the woods to meet the ambulance. Cpl. was enroute via truck and I was enroute via vessel to the individuals. 
  
  Cpl. and I arrived on scene at the same time. I talked to Operator1 about what had transpired. Operator1 said he was in his boat located by the railroad bridge that passes over Allatoona Lake. Victim jumped in to the water to swim. Operator1 said he was bumping the boat in and out of gear to keep the boat still due to a slight breeze. Operator1 said he told Victim to get back on the vessel from the front after he was done swimming. Operator1 made his way over to him slowly and then saw Victim at the back of the vessel. Operator1 said the boat was in gear and before he knew it, Victim was struck by the propeller of the vessel. 
  
  I then told Operator1 I needed to make sure he was safe to drive the vessel at the time of the incident. I ran Operator1 though field sobriety in which he was not under the influence. I then had Operator1 fill out a witness statement form as I gathered all the information about the vessel and persons aboard during the incident.  After Operator1 was finished with the form, I told him a report would be done within a few days. 
  
  Cpl. went to the hospital to talk to the injured person, Victim, about what happened. Victim said he was swimming and went to go get back on the vessel to get out. He did not think about the propeller still turning and swam around the back and that’s when he made contact with the propeller.
  
  Victim was transferred to Cartersville Medical Center where, he was treated for two very deep lacerations to his buttocks and his lower right leg.
