RedactedNarrative: Pre Accident 
  At approximately 1800 on June 21, 2015 V1, a PWC, was being operated by an unknown male individual, in the area of Hurricane Pass in Pinellas County, Florida. V1 was doing circles while towing a tube. The nine year old victim was standing in the shallow water off of the North end of Caladesi Island with some family and friends. V1 continued to make circles with the tube behind the PWC and was getting closer to shore in what appeared to be an attempt to spray water on some of the people in the shallow water.

  While V1 made the turn close to shore to spray water, the tube continued to travel in a larger circle behind the PWC and the tow line struck the nine year old victim in the throat causing her to fall back and into the shallow water. 
  
  Post Accident 
  V1 noticed he had struck the nine year old and circled back to check on her. The operator of V1 spoke with the father of the victim and was informed by the father that the victim would be ok and that he would be taking his daughter to the hospital when they got back to the boat ramp. The father further told the operator of V1 that he did not need to stay or render any aid. 
  
  At approximately 1830 on June 21, 2015 I, Investigator, was on water patrol in the ICW of Clearwater. I was flagged down by a male on a PWC with a female child sitting in front of him. I pulled along side and was informed Subject that his daughter had been injured by a tow line, he was trying to get her back to the boat ramp, and that she was feeling lightheaded. I brought the child on my patrol vessel and continued on to Belleaire boat ramp where they had launched from. EMS met us at Belleaire boat ramp and rendered aid to the child. I spoke with Subject and a witness, who was on another PWC. Interviewing the subjects separately, they explained how the injury to the child occurred. Both individuals explained that they did not know the subject who had been operating the PWC when it stuck the child with the tow line, and that he had been told he could leave. They only knew that he was a H/M approximately in his 30s on a red PWC. BOLO of the area was conducted with negative results. Operator of V1 remains unidentified. the girl received lacerations and abrasions upon her neck, non life threatening.
