RedactedNarrative: Watercraft had been pulling a tube. While boat was drifting, a man who had been tubing was getting back in the boat. His thumb slipped and got caught in the cowling of the boat motor. Another passenger from the boat saw the tuber struggling to free his hands off the cowling. He went over and used a scissors to pull apart the cowling and free the man's thumb. 911 was called and when deputies arrived, he was out of the water and in an ambulance ready to be transported to the hospital. His statement was taken with the help of a translator, who was also on board the watercraft.  Life jackets were being worn. Alcohol was not a factor.
