Three people who were injured in a boat crash at Pomme de Terre Lake over Memorial Day weekend have filed a lawsuit against the two other men in the boat claiming they prevented the three from seeking medical attention.
What We Know: The petition filed Thursday in Hickory County Circuit Court named Michael Stock, the driver of the boat, and Glen Stock, the boat’s owner, as defendants.
The suit says that the plaintiffs, Ashley Tucker, Colton Tucker and Ethan Tucker, were aboard the boat on May 23rd when it struck an island near Point 9 on Pomme de Terre Lake.
The suit claims that the crash resulted in injures to the plaintiffs and that the two men did not allow them to leave the boat for more than an hour.
Michael Stock was also charged with three counts of second-degree kidnapping, three counts of fourth-degree assault, negligent operation of a vessel, leaving the scene of an accident involving physical injury and unlawful possession of a firearm in relation to the incident.
The civil lawsuit is separate from the pending criminal charges.
