RedactedNarrative: On 07/02/2016 at approximately 1630 hours, I responded to the area of Long Shoals Boat ramp (located in Putnam County, Georgia) in reference to a boating incident. Upon my arrival, I spoke to the wife of the victim, while the victim was being treated by Putnam County EMS. 
  
  Victim was transported to Putnam General Hospital and was treated by Dr. received 27 stitches, and was released at 1905 hours (same date). 
  
  Later as I spoke to Victim, he and his wife both were consistent in their account of the incident. Mr Kline stated that he and his wife had been swimming from their personal watercraft (PWC) near the incident location. Victim stated when the two went to leave the area, they boarded the PWC started the motor and proceeded to accelerate. Victim advised the tie off rope was sucked into the vessel's intake causing the rope to tighten up around the steering column and break sending a piece of plastic (from the PWC) into his left leg.
