RedactedNarrative: On September 1, 2018 I, Officers received a call of a Jet Ski crash on the Muskingum River at approximately 5:36 pm. After receiving the call we immediately drove to the location of where the driver later identified was pulled into. When we arrived on scene we were advised by witness that the Operator had already been taken to Marietta Memorial Hospital by his wife. 
  
  The Witness/owner advised us that the Operator had borrowed one of his Jet Ski's and rode up river. The Witness/owner then advised when he looked up river he noticed that the Operator was in the water beside his Jet Ski. The Witness then yelled to the Operator if he needed help and the Operator advised that he did. The Witness  then took his personal boat up and picked up the operator. The Operator then had his wife transport him to the hospital. 
  
  After taking pictures and performing a written vessel safety check on the Jet Ski which was not damaged, and obtaining the Witness/owner's Statement, we then proceeded to Marietta Memorial Hospital. Once we arrived at the hospital we spoke with the operator/victim.
   
  The Operator/victim advised that he had been travelling along the river for about twenty minutes doing 360 and 180 degree turns at about 55 mph. While doing a 360 degree turn he was thrown off the Jet Ski, hit a log that was in the water and then skipped across the water several more times. The Operator/victim advised me that he was wearing the safety lanyard and also had a life jacket on. The Operator/victim also advised me that according to x-rays he had no broken bones and was only really sore. The Operator/victim was in the process of being released from the hospital while we were speaking to him. 
  
  I issued a citation to The Operator for Reckless Operation and then we exited the Hospital without any further incidences.
