RedactedNarrative: On the evening of June 12th, 2020 I received a call from Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office concerning a boating incident in Lake Saint John.  Contact was made with the operator who was identified as Operator 1 at Riverland medical center.  Operator 1 stated that his son, Victim 1 slipped on the back deck of the Bass boat while attempting to get in the water with skis on.
  
  Subject stated that he believes that his son caught is thigh on the rope cleat when he fell and was cut.  He stated that the motor was running and in neutral.    After speaking with Operator 1, I went and spoke with Victim 1 who said the same thing.  Victim 1 had a large gash on the inside of his right thigh and received 13 stitches.  The wound did not have the characteristics associated with a propeller strike.  Agent went to Lake Saint John and investigated the boat. Agent confirmed that it was probably the cleat that caused the laceration.
