RedactedNarrative: On june 25, 2016, at or about 1600 hours, ico dispatch contacted me about a boat accident that was earlier reported to the greene county sheriff's department. 
  
  Owner reported at about 0700 – 0800 hours he was traveling up stream on the white river, approximately 5 miles north of the eel river junction. Owner said he had one other occupant. 
  
       owner said he stopped to anchor his boat and mentioned it was in a large river bend. Owner said he deployed his anchor and reached over to get his fishing pole. Owner said the anchor rope was secured to the stern. 
  
  Owner said as the rope was coiling out, the anchor set and caused the stern to be pulled underwater. Owner said the boat was immediately swamped and sunk. Owner said occupant and himself were both wearing personal flotation devices. Owner indicated occupant was able to swim himself to the shore. Owner said he was unable to get to the shore because of the strong current and he estimated  floating approximately 2 miles downstream, before getting out of the river. Owner said he located occupant and they walked towards an area that appeared to be a boat ramp. From the information provided it was likely they were at the farmers ferry. Owner said and unidentified individual gave them a ride back to their vehicle. 
  
       owner identified his boat as a 14 foot aluminum jon boat with a 9.9 horsepower mercury outboard motor. Ico dispatch provided a return for the boat identifying it as a 1972 desoto boat with current registration in0539tn. Owner also indicated the boat wasn't insured. The boat wasn't recovered and he estimated the loss being $3000.
