RedactedNarrative: On Friday, July 13, 2018, at around 1410 hours, I received a call from Lt. about a boating accident at Safety Harbor on Wilson Lake in Lawrence County. I responded and arrived at Safety Harbor around 1500 and met with the operator and occupants. The vessel was a tan and brown 1988 Vision Bass Boat. The operator stated that he and two occupants had put the boat in the water and left the boat ramp. They traveled towards Wheeler Dam and noticed that the boat was taking on water.
  
   operator stated that he forgot to put the plug in the boat. They tried to paddle towards the bank but could not make it. When the boat sank the three occupants were swimming and yelling for help. a witness jumped into the water and pulled the three to shore. None of the occupants were injured, however one subject was evaluated by Lawrence County EMS and determined to be fine. another was also evaluated by Lawrence County EMS.
  
  
  
  The vessel was pulled out of the water by a citizen who had just launched his vessel. The vessel was loaded onto its trailer and inspected. There was damage to the motor. The trolling motor had been torn off. The windshield was torn off and several scratches to the vessel. Operator stated that all of his fishing equipment was lost.
