RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, June 8th, 2019, I GWFC received a call from GSP dispatch saying that a woman wanted to report a boating incident that had happened the day before on June 7th. I drove to Northside Hospital in Cumming and there I met subject. Subject stated that the day before she, her friend, her friend’s brother, and another woman went for a boat ride on Lake Lanier in Operator's 2008 Sea Ray boat. Subject stated that she was drinking a hard ice tea while on the boat and that Operator was drinking malt liquor earlier in the day and he drank a small 50 mL liquor bottle while on the boat. 
  
  As they got underway around 12:45 p.m., Subject says that Operator (who was driving the boat) warned everyone on the boat that he was going to go faster. After cruising for a few minutes they slowed down again. When a song on the stereo came on that Subject enjoyed she stood up to dance to the music. Suddenly, Subject says that Operator pushed the throttle and the boat began to accelerate quickly. This caused Subject to fall. The impact with the hull of the vessel injured Subject’s back and she began crying in pain. Operator blew a horn on his boat in an attempt to flag down a fire department boat that was passing by, but the boat didn’t stop. The group then made their way back to Operator's home. Subject was soon after taken to the hospital by her aunt where she was told she had a fractured vertebrate in her spine.
  
  After obtaining Subjects statement and contact information I made my way to operator’s house where he and subjects were staying for the weekend. I received statements from the three witnesses and interviewed them about what happened. The three of them gave a similar story about what happened except they stated that Operator had not accelerated the boat causing Subject to fall. They stated the boat had been going about 5 mph when Victim stood up to dance, when suddenly a wake from another boat came and shook the boat which caused Victim to fall. Operator also disputed the claim that he had been drinking that day.
  
  She sustained a fractured vertebrate while riding in a 2008 Sea Ray boat owned and driven by operator. According to different witness accounts the injury was sustained either to Operator accelerating his boat while Subject was standing up dancing to music or when a wake from another boat encountered their vessel while Subject was standing up dancing to music which shook the boat causing Subject to fall.
