  NARRATIVE
  
  On June 17th, 2022, at approximately 1723 hours, I, Officer (Ofc.), was informed by marina staff of a prop cut victim on one of the marina's rental houseboats. Dispatch was apprised of the situation, and county fire and EMS were en route. I arrived at the Pine Marina at approximately 1730 hours, wearing my division-required uniform and badge of office. At this time, marina staff had made contact with the houseboat and were returning it to the marina with the victim, later identified as Injured, on board. I cleared the gas dock area in anticipation of the houseboat's arrival. I escorted county fire and EMS to the staging area. When the houseboat arrived, EMS contacted Injured and transported her to San Juan County Regional Medical Center. 
  
  I spoke with Operator who stated the houseboat was stopped on the shoreline with no one operating it when the loading ramp, located on the bow of the houseboat, broke off. She also stated Injured moved to the stern of the vessel to look for the ramp when she stuck her foot in the water and was cut by the moving prop. Passenger 2 stated Injured was cut by the moving prop while she was looking for the ramp. Both passengers 1 and 2 admitted to drinking alcohol but were adamant the vessel was not moving and there was no one in the operator's seat. 
  
  I then spoke with marina owner who was among the marina employees who retrieved the houseboat. Marina owner explained every passenger and operator who rents a vessel from the marina must go through a 25-minute safety briefing explaining where emergency equipment is located and how to properly anchor the vessel. Marina owner presented a photo which was sent to him of the houseboat from earlier that day. This photo clearly shows the houseboat improperly anchored with the loading ramp hanging into the water. Marina owner stated the loading ramp is a custom piece, which would cost $3,500 to replace. 
  
  On June 19th, 2022, at approximately 1730 hours, I was able to speak with Injured. She explained she was swimming in front of the boat when she noticed the loading ramp was missing. She then boarded the boat and walked to the stern to locate the missing ramp. She stuck her foot in the water and hit the moving prop. Injured stated she was taking blood thinners at the time, and as a result, had to stay overnight at the hospital. She received six stitches to the top side of her left foot. 
  
  Based upon statements and photo evidence, the houseboat was "beached" by Operator. Anchors were never properly deployed, the loading ramp was caught on an unknown object, and the throttle was never put in neutral. Failure to follow safety procedures resulted in injury to Injured and damage to marina property.
