On Saturday, 04/15/2023 at about 1302 hours, while on an unrelated call for service (MC23061300), I was flagged down by multiple people in the area of South Cove, Bartlett Lake, Tonto National Forest, alerting me to an injured person. 

I responded by foot to a red, 2021 Tracker boat and contacted Victim (I1), complaining of left shoulder pain. Victim said he was tubing behind the boat with his friend. They were tossed out of their tube, and he landed in a way that injured his shoulder.

I treated Victim and had him get into the Tracker boat. His father operated the boat, who transported us from South Cove to the MCSO Law Enforcement boat ramp. We arrived at the boat ramp at about 1317 hours. I requested Rural Metro medical personnel to respond for further treatment. 

I spoke with Operator, who advised they were tubing the area of Main Bay. Victim and Subject1 were in a tube behind the boat, skiing. They had been bumped off the tube while skiing multiple times previously, with no issues. This time, Victim and Subject1 were bumped off their tube, Victim was complaining of shoulder pain when he returned. They loaded him onto the boat and came back to shore. 

At about 1333 hours, patient care was turned over to Rural Metro Fire when they arrived at the Bartlett Lake Aid Station. For further information, please reference Rural Metro run number 23082618, and my Patient Care Report.

For information not included in this report, please reference my on-body camera, which was operating during this incident.

Nothing further to report from this Deputy.
