On July 22, 2023, at approximately 7:55pm, Unit 1 was in front of Paige Point Landing on Huspa Creek in Beaufort County and occupied by five people. 

The operator of Unit 1 engaged and revved the throttle with the boat in gear and motor trimmed up. This caused the bow of the boat to suddenly lift, and the stern depress quickly and ejected a passenger over the transom and into the water at the prop. 

The operator had been drinking alcohol and admitted to having marijuana in his possession. The victim suffered a laceration to his head and was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, by EMS, where he was treated for his injuries and later released. The operator was arrested and charged with Felony BUI, No Type IV throwable device, and Simple Possession of Marijuana.
