CORALVILLE, Iowa – Iowa DNR Conservation Officers responded to a diving rock on the Coralville Reservoir Saturday, around 4:30-p.m., where a group of approximately 15 teenagers were gathered and one had been rescued after jumping into the water and nearly drowning.

A passerby boat noticed a male that could not swim and was struggling to stay above the water and stopped to rescue the male. The male was transported to a local hospital once the DNR and Johnson County Sheriff’s Office arrived.

A DNR Conservation Officer charged a 14 year old female after the officer found drug paraphernalia. It is against Army Corps of Engineers rules to jump off the rock into the water.
