DNR Conservation Officers say charges have been filed a charge and warnings issued, as a result of a boat incident that happened at Browns Lake in northwest Iowa’s Woodbury County on May 25th, that left two people seriously injured.

A citation was issued to Nicole Baker for violating speed and distance rules. Baker was the operator of the boat pulling behind two tubers when the tubers crashed into a stationary boat. Baker was also issued a warning for boat registration violation. Chad Riker, the operator of the stationary boat, was also issued a warning for boat registration violation.

Both tubers are still hospitalized but the DNR does not have specific conditions on either of them.
