RedactedNarrative: On August 4, 2022 at 10:31AM I, Officer First Class was dispatched to a capsized vessel located in Shipping Creek in Stevensville Maryland.
  
                  I arrived at Shipping Creek Landing at 11:00AM and met with the victims. Owner stated that he and Subject1 were pulling in their trotline, preparing to return to the landing, when the trotline became entangled in their propeller. Owner, seated at the rear of the vessel, attempted to disentangle the trotline from the propeller by leaning out over the stern of the vessel. When Owner leaned out over the stern, the stern dipped into the water and swamped the vessel. Owner moved to the bow of the vessel with Subject1 in an attempt to raise the stern out of the water but was unsuccessful. At this point Owner attempted to call 911 and the vessel capsized.
  
                  Owner and Subject1 were able to keep themselves afloat by holding on to their capsized vessel until they were pulled out of the water and brought in to Shipping Creek Landing by a Good Samaritan. The Good Samaritan was operating a Pioneer vessel but did not provide any identifying information and left the area. Neither Owner nor Subject1 was injured in the accident but out of an abundance of caution Subject1 was checked out by EMTs at Shipping Creek Landing and allowed to cool off in the ambulance.
  
                  Owner made contact with TowBoatUS – Kent Narrows to have the capsized vessel towed back to Shipping Creek Landing. When asked to estimate the value to the capsized vessel, Owner estimated the value to be $11,000.  
  
                  All events occurred in Queen Anne’s County Maryland.
