RedactedNarrative: On sunday june 18, 2017 around 8:00 pm, a boating incident occurred on lake tillery near the address of 712 berry hill drive norwood, nc.  The vessel was a 10 foot 1996 yamaha  wave runner personal watercraft displaying the registration.  The tube being pulled by the personal watercraft collided with a nearby pier ejecting all three males on board.  
  
  Operator was operating the personal watercraft while puling a tube.  Operator was pulling the young males on the tube in a circular pattern.  Operator operated the personal watercraft approximately twenty feet from a nearby pier.  The total length of the rope that was connected to the personal watercraft and the tube was a total of 52 feet and 5 inches in length. This action caused the tube to swing wide and to the right colliding with the pier.  
  
  Tuber1 was sitting on the right side of the tube and took the blunt force of the impact with the pier.  Tuber1 was unresponsive.  The other two occupants on the tube were able to get tuber1 out of the water with the help of tuber1’s father whom witnessed the incident and hurried over operating another personal watercraft.  Tuber1 was pulled from the water and onto the pier.  Witnesses stated that tuber1 was not sure where he was or what day it was.  Stanly county ems arrived on scene.  Tuber1 was transported to northeast medical due to his mother's request.  According to the mother of tuber1, tuber1's injuries consisted of a broken leg and a contusion to his lung.  Tuber1 was released two days later from northeast medical hospital and is continuing physical therapy.
  
  Tuber2 age 18 was a passenger riding in the middle of the tube.  He sustained a contusion to his upper right chest area.  On the day of the incident he initially denied medical attention.  The following day due to his injuries he called and requested an ambulance.  He was transported to the hospital where he stated he waited for three hours without being seen.  Tuber2 became frustrated and left before any medical treatment was administered.
  
  Tuber3 age 14 was the third passenger riding on the left side of the tube.  He received no injuries during the boating incident.
  
   upon my arrival on the scene, i began speaking to and observing operator.  Based on his demeanor, field sobriety test, and his admittance to drinking alcohol prior to the incident, i made the determination to arrest him for operating a vessel while being under the influence of an impairing substance.     It is my findings that operator's impairment and careless and reckless and negligent operation of the personal watercraft caused the personal injury to two of the three individuals that were riding on the tube when it collided with the pier.
   
  Damage was found on the pier  at the same location where the tube made contact.  After talking to the owner of the pier, he advised no additional damage was done to the pier due to the this incident.
  
  The total length of the rope that was connected to the personal watercraft and the tube is a total of 52 feet and 5 inches in length.
  
  I do not have the operators 4.1. He has requested i take the 4.1 form and drop it off at his attorney's office so he could review it.  
  
  All safety equipment was accounted for.  No safety equipment violations were found.
