RedactedNarrative: On tuesday june 20, 2016, 3 people planned a kayaking trip for the next day. On the way to the tn. River the vehicle operator stopped to buy gasoline at a sunoco and one of the passengers went in to purchase a bottle of gin with a fake id he had used before to purchase alcohol. 
  
  Then they travelled to the river. On the way to the river another one of the passengers complained of having a headache. Another passenger gave this person a half bar xanax and told them it would be good for their head. This person took the medicine. When they arrived at the river they put the kayaks in the water. No life jackets were provided. One of the kayaks was a 2 person kayak and the other was a one person kayak. One of the males and a female set of in the two seat kayak and the other male set out in the single kayak. 
  
  They set out for an area called bluff city where there are rock bluffs with a swing rope for jumping in the water. The three sat on the three met back up at the area and got off by the swing ropes. During this time they all smoked a blunt and drank the gin. One of the group that had travelled to the area in the one seat kayak decided to cross back over to the other side with the two seat kayak. 
  
  Leaving the other two in the group on the island with access to only the one seat kayak. According to witnesses swimming near by the female decided to use the single seat kayak and was in the river about 30-40 yards from the bank when the other male in the group swam out to the female in the kayak and tried to get in the kayak with her. This caused the female in the kayak to fall overboard. 
  
  Then they both tried to swim back to shore and the female tried to get on top of the male and he pushed her away and swam to shore "yelling" for help. Two of the witnesses entered the water and attempted to rescue the female but were not successful. 
  
  One of the witnesses called 911 and that is when marine police senior trooper came on the scene. The rescue squad was with him. They begun search for the female while trooper began investigating the events that led to this situation. 
  
  The male who had attempted to climb aboard the kayak was very disruptive and disorderly during the investigation so he was arrested for public intoxication. The rest of the witnesses and the other male with the group were then questioned.
