On September 3, 2023, at approximately 1915 hours, I, Officer First Class with the Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) received a call from NRP Dispatch for a subject who had cut his arm on a vessel in Fairlee Creek.  

NRP Dispatch advised the victim was being brought in by vessel to Great Oak Marina on Fairlee Creek and would be flown out by helicopter due to the severity of the injury.  I responded to Great Oak Marina where I met the victim in the ambulance.  I identified the who was conscious and alert.  I observed that Victim had two tourniquets applied to his left arm.  I asked Victim what happened, and he said he fell of a stool in the boat cutting his arm on the Bimini top.  Victim said the cut began to spurt blood.  Victim was treated by Kent County Emergency Medical Services and was then flown out by Maryland State Police helicopter from the Great Oak golf course to Baltimore Shock Trauma.

After meeting with Victim I contacted his wife, who I identified.  I took her contact information, and she then left by vessel to return to Middle River in order to meet with Victim at Baltimore Shock Trauma.  I later identified the involved vessel as a Starcraft pontoon boat with Maryland registration.

All events occurred in Kent County, Maryland.
The investigation is complete.
