RedactedNarrative: On 07/09/22 at 1828 hrs. I heard radio traffic of an injury boating accident on Perry Lake.  I responded to the boat ramp that the victim was taken to and arrived at 1846 hrs.  Deputies that were at the scene already helped the victim off the boat and into an ambulance but then allowed the boat to leave without getting any information  The medical crew also said that VICTIM told them he was on a flyboard that was attached to a PWC when he lost his balance and come down on the PWC which caused him to injure his chest and that it occurred in the Party Cove (Slough Creek) area of the lake.  The medical crew said VICTIM was being transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka.  
  
  I then left the boat ramp and got on the patrol boat and drove to Party Cove area to see if I could track down the PWC that was involved but the PWC was not located.  VICTIM was also not able to talk to me at the hospital.   For several days after the accident, I attempted to contact VICTIM so I could complete the accident report, but VICTIM would not return my phone calls.  
  
  On 7/19/22 at 1535 hrs. VICTIM called be back to report the accident but only after he saw on Facebook that KDWP was asking for the public’s help for information about the accident.   VICTIM stated that he was on the flyboard and lost his balance and landed on the PWC.  He also said, with the flyboard attached to the PWC he had control of the direction of travel but the person on the PWC had control of the throttle.  
  
  VICTIM said Subject1 was on the PWC controlling the throttle at the time of his accident.  Subject1 was the registered owner of the PWC.  I later met up with VICTIM and subject1 to talk with them and to take photos of the flyboard and PWC.  The 75’ hose that connects the flyboard to the PWC was not available to be photographed. VICTIM said his injuries consisted of 5 broken ribs on his left side.  The PWC that was involved in the accident was owned by both, SUBJECT1 and VICTIM but it is only registered in SUBJECT1s name.
