RedactedNarrative: On 07/15/17 at approximately 1500 hours I received a call for a 17 year old male subject injured in a tubing incident on Still Pond Creek in Kent County, MD.  I responded from Stevensville to Shore Medical Center in Chestertown, MD.  I met the victim there along with another male.  Operator was the operator of the vessel which was towing the tube.  The vessel had a registration number of MD 9445 BL.  It is a 23 foot Chaparral powerboat registered to the father in-law of operator.
  
        I arrived at the hospital at approximately 1605 hours.  I had Victim complete a written victim statement.  I spoke with Operator and Victim about the incident. Operator told me he was operating the boat and his daughter was the observer.  Operator told me there were two people on the tube being towed including the victim.  Operator told me a large wake hit the tube and caused the occupants to bounce in the air which caused the knee of the other tuber to make contact with the victims nose causing it to bleed.  Operator told me the vessel was travelling at approximately 20 - 25 knots when the wake hit the tube. Water conditions in the area were choppy with a wave height of approximately one foot.  I asked  Operator if the tubers were wearing life jackets and he replied,  "yes, absolutley".  I asked Operator if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages that day and he told me he had not.
  
        Operator told me they had arrived at the hospital around 1400 hours.  There was no injury beyond the bloody nose.  Operator told me he decided to use the hospital only because there was no other medical facility in the area.  Operator told me he wanted to make sure the victims nose was not broken.  Operator and Victim left the hospital with me at approximately 1640 hours.
