RedactedNarrative: On 8-23-20 at 1533hrs units from the Maryland Resources Police were dispatched to the Nanticoke River just off of the Cedar Hill Marina in reference to an overturned vessel. Vessels from the West Side Volunteer Fire Department were also dispatched. While in route responding units were advised that the two people on the boat had been retrieved from the water by a Good Samaritan, and were not injured. Maryland Resources Police responded and arrived moments after the fire vessels. The vessel was floating upside down. The two occupants, Operator 1 (owner) and Operator 2 were on a good Samaritan's boat. After a few moments, it was decided that one of the two responding fire boats would connect a tow line to the bow of the overturned boat and tow it to the Cedar Hill Marina. Once the line was connected the tow was conducted. Approximately 1/2 mile before entering the marina, the fire vessels were successful in uprighting the vessel. It was then towed into the marina and tied to the dock at the boat ramp. The vessel was then turned over to the owner (Operator 1) who retrieved it.
  
  Back at shore, writer interviewed the two occupants. They related the following. Operator 1 had bought the vessel within the last month. He had a minimal amount of boating experience, less than 40 hours. He and Operator 2 were taking the boat out for the first time. Operator 2 brought along a fishing rod. After putting the boat in the water they rode for a few minutes when they decided to stop so Operator 2 could fish. They dropped anchor and fished for a short period. They decided to move to another spot since they hadn't caught anything. When pulling the anchor, the anchor line became entangled in the motor prop. They tilted the motor up and started to remove the line from the prop. Both subjects were standing on the rear gunwale of the stern. This was allowing water to drain into the vessel and leak through a portal filling the hull of the vessel. When they realized this, it was to late, the vessel was unstable and as they attempted to move to the front, the vessel rolled over.
  
  The vessel and motor are probably damaged beyond repair because of water damage.
