RedactedNarrative: On 7/10/2016 at approximately 3:40 PM, I was dispatched to a boating accident that occurred on North Bar, just North of Anclote Key Island.  OFFICER#1 (FWC) and OFFICER#2 (FWC) were also dispatched and responded to the island in separate vessels.  I was notified through FWC Dispatch, that the injured individual (later identified as Injured1) was injured by the propeller of a vessel (V1) (later identified bearing FLxxxxxx).  Dispatch notified me that Injured1 was going to be transported from North Bar to Anclote River Park boat ramp.  I arrived at Anclote River Park boat ramp at approximately 4:10 PM.  Pasco County Sheriff's Office Deputies were on scene and EMS arrived at approximately 4:15 PM.
  
  At the hospital I met with the other two occupants on board the vessel at the time of the incident.  They advised that while trying to leave the sand bar, the stern anchor was up and the bow anchor was down.  The current was pushing the stern of the vessel towards an adjacent anchored vessel.  Injured1 was in the water to prevent the vessels from contacting one another.  Operator1 started the motor and put it in reverse in an attempt to prevent vessel contact, not knowing that Injured1 had moved to the rear of the motor at that same time.  Injured1 was pulled into the propeller by his shorts and spun around violently.  Passenger1 yelled, Operator1 turned off the motor and jumped in the water.  He was forced to cut the clothing material to free Injured1.  Operator1 along with multiple bystanders moved Injured1 to shore where they applied a tourniquet to slow the bleeding.  OFFICER#1 arrived to transport shortly thereafter. 
  
  On 7/14/2016 at approximately 4:30 PM, I met with Injured1 to obtain a written statement.  Due to his injuries, he was unable to write.  He dictated, while I transcribed the events of the incident.  Injured1 was able to read over the completed statement and sign.  Injured1 advised he was in the water to pull the stern anchor.  After pulling the anchor, he had one hand on the ladder and one on the top of the motor in an effort to pull himself on board.  The engine started and he tried to get everyone's attention.  When the motor was put into reverse, it tangled his shorts, pulled him in, and drug him under water.  The engine was shut off, where witnesses took him to shore until help arrived.    
  
  On 7/14/2016 at approximately 5:00 PM, I spoke with RN#1, reference Injured1's injuries.  She advised he sustained complex lacerations to the bilateral buttocks and right medial thigh.  Lacerations exposed, but did not sever the femoral artery.  He currently has 3 drains inserted into his wounds.  Injured1 also sustained a laceration to his right hand.  There was no nerve or artery damage.
