RedactedNarrative: On 07/20/16 at approximately 9:20 P.M. I, Officer, responded to Blue Water Marina on the Rhode River in Edgewater, MD for a report of a man in a dinghy with a large cut on his arm. Upon arrival Anne Arundel EMS and Fire Department were already on scene treating Victim for his injury. Anne Arundel EMS called in Maryland State Police to fly Victim to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. While Victim was being treated I was able to meet with his girlfriend who was on the vessel when the incident occurred but was uninjured. Girlfriend stated she was going to need a ride to get to Shock Trauma to be with Victim and I was given permission by the Duty Officer to transport her. Before going there we stopped on Victim's other vessel to retrieve some of Girlfriend's possessions. I transported Girlfriend to Shock Trauma and met Officer there who assisted me with the investigation. 
  
  OFC and I were able to meet with Victim and interview him. He stated that he and his girlfriend were out for an evening ride on his dinghy on the Rhode River when they ran aground on one of the shoals located in the river. Victim stated he was doing approximately 15 knots and was sitting on the starboard side inflatable section of his vessel when he ran aground. Victim fell into the water and his right arm and hand hit the propeller while the motor was running. The propeller caused three separate cuts, one across his right forearm and two on his right hand. Victim had no other injuries. Victim told OFC and I that he had one glass of wine and a mixed drink before going out on the dinghy.
  
  OFC and I interviewed Girlfriend next. She stated she was sitting on the inside of the vessel, port side towards the bow, facing forward when the vessel ran aground. She then turned around and saw Victim in the water holding his arm with blood coming out of it. She then took a jacket she had with her and wrapped it around his arm to stop the bleeding. Girlfriend said she never saw Victim fall into the water. She stated that they headed toward Camp Letts to get help but no one was there. They then headed towards Carrs Wharf where she got off the dinghy and went and knocked on doors of homes until someone answered and got them to call 911. She then went to Blue Waters Marina where she was able to get more help and Anne Arundel Fire and EMS arrived. Girlfriend informed OFC and I that they both had two mixed drinks each before going out on the dinghy.
  
  At this time there are no charges that will be filed for the incident. All events occured in Anne Arundel County, MD.
