RedactedNarrative: Prelude:									
  
  While patrolling hancock county, i received a report of a boating accident at geist reservoir.  A person riding on a tube was struck by the boat that was pulling them when the boat turned around to pick them up after falling off.  The person was transported to the hospital with lacerations to the right leg and a broken lower right leg.
  
  Ifd personnel advised me that tuber2 had a broken lower right leg, and lacerations to his right leg.  I took photos of the boat that was involved in the accident, a 2010 bayliner 185.
  
  I met with the operator of the boat, who stated that he was pulling two people on a tube.  Tuber1 was on the tube with tuber2 and stated they were being pulled behind the boat about 500 yds. North of the dam, and were southbound.  Tuber1 stated that she fell off the tube and tuber2 remained on the tube.  
  
  Operator turned the boat in a loop towards the east in an attempt to circle back and pick up tuber1.  While doing so, several feet of slack was created in the rope connected to the tube that tuber2 was still on.  As operator maneuvered the boat to get tuber1, he did not realize he was as close to the tube that tuber2 was still occupying and the tube came in to contact with the front right corner of the boat.  
  
  Subject4 stated that she believes tuber2 jumped off the tube in an attempt to create distance between him and the boat.  Meanwhile the boat was still under power and turning to the left.  Tuber went under the boat.  Operator did not see tuber2, but felt the boat motor strike something.  Shortly afterwards, tuber2 was at the rear of the boat and was screaming for help.  Tuber1 swam over to tuber2, and operator believed at this point that he had struck tuber2.  Operator entered the water to assist tuber1 and tuber2.  Tuber1 stated that tuber2 kept complaining of pain to his lower legs.  Tuber1 and operator brought tuber2 back to the rear of the boat.  A nurse onboard assisted.  
  
  I noted that there did not appear to be any alcohol beverages on the boat, and that the operator did not appear to be impaired.  I did however ask operator if he had consumed any alcohol.  He stated that he did consume a shot of whiskey approximately four hours earlier in the day.  I performed an hgn test on operator at 1802 hrs. And he passed with no indicators of impairment.  Operator stated that he was willing to take a breath test if needed, but i told him that it would not be necessary.  Due to my training and experience, there were no indications that alcohol was a factor in this incident.
