RedactedNarrative: Supposedly, the Rinker vessel was idling westbound through the no wake zone in front of Harrison Dock Builders west of the Hwy 97 bridge when a passenger said he had to pee and jumped off the back of the boat into the river. 
  
  While in the water and near the vessel's swim ladder, the vessel's propeller struck Occupant's left foot and right leg. Occupant received a bruise to his foot and 3 cuts on his right leg below the knee. Occupant was transported to the hospital (Kootenai Health) by Coeur d'Alene Fire personnel. 
  
  The outer cuts were minor, but the middle cut was a deep avulsion and required 11 staples at the hospital. It is believed that alcohol may have been a factor, but was covered up as the operator drove the vessel to where he was staying at a vacation home in Cottonwood Bay on Lake Coeur d'Alene. 
  
  This was well past the town of Harrison (at the mouth of the CDA River) which they drove past, and 3.75 miles from the location of the accident. There was considerable initial blood loss and the other passengers on the boat had to apply direct pressure with a towel to control the bleeding. 911 was not called until after the boat arrived at the vacation house in Cottonwood Bay. The boat operator had already left the vacation house and was unable to be contacted when law enforcement arrived. 
  
  Initially, Operator's son said he was operating the boat, when in fact he was not and was operating a PWC. Later, Operator confirmed he was the operator of the vessel via a phone conversation the following day, which contradicting what son and the other passengers previously stated.  I believe Operator was in fact the operator as I had doubted the truthfulness of the statements of son and the other passengers. As a result of the lack of truthful information, evidence, and the fact that all the persons involved live out of state, no charges have been filed at this time.
