RedactedNarrative: On thursday, june 30, 2022, five individuals spent the evening boating and swimming on lake chatuge.  They had been consuming alcoholic beverages throughout the day.  At approximately 21:00 near gibby island, the operator of the vessel slowed down to an idle speed to use the bathroom but did not take the engine out of gear. 
  
   Two other individuals were horse playing in the middle of the boat and one of them pushed the victim out of the vessel into the water.  The victim swam around to the rear of the vessel to re-enter the boat using the ladder.  The ladder was located on the left of the stern.  The boat motor was still in gear as the victim tried to climb the ladder.  
  
  The momentum of the moving vessel caused the victim's body to shift.  The victim's legs were then pushed towards the motor's propeller.  The propeller struck the victim's left thigh causing a severe laceration.  The victim was extracted from the water and taken to shore where they were taken to the northeast regional hospital in georgia.  The victim has returned home and is recovering from his injuries.
