RedactedNarrative: On 8-26-17 at approximately 1333 hours, I was dispatched to a report of a young girl having been run over by a jet ski.  The event reportedly occurred on the main bay of Lake Pleasant south of the "1702 Rock."   The operator of the boat and father of the injured girl, was bringing the tirl to the ten lane boat ramp.
  
  The family was boating north bound in the main bay of Lake Pleasant south of what is commonly called "the 1702 rock,"  towing two people on a float, approximately 20 feet from the boat.  As they were passing another boat  traveling in the same direction, Operator2 noticed a jet ski jumping the wake of that boat.  The ski came close enough to Operator2''s boat for him to hear someone on the ski say they were going to jump the wake of Operator2''s boat too.
  
  The ski came across and ran over the float where two people were riding.  Operator2 pulled the girls from the water and the operator of the ski stopped to make sure the girls were okay and provided his name and telephone number.  Operator2''s wife took a photo of the ski with the operator and rider aboard.
  
  I asked Operator2 how close the ski was to the other boat while it was jumping its wake.  He said he wasn''t sure, but when I asked him if it was within 60 feet he said it was.  He could not describe the other boat.  Operator2 estimated the length of the rope he was towing the float with to be about twenty feet.  Deputy roughly measured the tow rope determining it was approximately 45 feet long.
  
  Towed individual1 suffered an approximately 2" laceration to the back of her head.  She was transported to John C. Lincoln North Valley as a precautionary measure.  Towed individual2 was checked by fire personnel and found to not be in need of any immediate medical but advised her family to have her checked by her family physician.
  
  The ski was found in the apparent same general area of the accident.  However, the driver did not match the one in the photo.  The operator of the ski was advised to return to their camp which was a short distance east of the ten lane boat ramp.
  
  Deputy and I made contact with the operator of the ski at the time of the accident, who admitted he had been operating the ski when the accident occurred. 
  
  I asked Operator1 to tell me what had happened.  Operator1 and his "step nephew”  were riding the rented jet ski north bound on Lake Pleasant.  They were "riding the curl" on a boat and he believes the girls on the float may have swung in behind him.  Operator1 said he was 120 feet away, then said he was 100 feet away from the other boat and ski.  I asked him if he was within 60 feet and he said no.  Operator1 stressed that he was responsible and stayed on scene to provide his information.  He added he was a dive master and knew the rules.
  
  I issued Operator1 a citation for ARS 5-341A - Reckless Operation of the jet ski.  ARS 5-350C4 States A person shall not operate or knowingly allow another person to operate a personal watercraft under his ownership or control in a reckless or negligent manner endangering the life or property of another person. Prima facie evidence of reckless operation exists if the person commits two or more of the following acts simultaneously:Within a zone of proximity to another watercraft closer than sixty feet, maneuvers quickly, turns sharply or swerves, unless the maneuver is necessary to avoid a collision.
