Conn. man charged in fatal 2009 boat crash

GUILFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut environmental police have arrested a 25-year-old man on manslaughter charges after he allegedly drove a boat into a sea wall last year, killing one.

Arthur Hall of Guilford faces charges including second degree manslaughter and operating a vessel while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs.

Hall was taken into custody Saturday, then released. He's scheduled to appear in New Haven Superior Court on June 30.

Authorities say Hall was operating an 18-foot Boston Whaler last Sept. 3 when it crashed into a sea wall in Guilford in Long Island Sound.

Twenty-four-year-old Jonathan Cook of Guilford was killed and Hall and two others were injured.

It was not immediately clear Saturday if Hall had an attorney and a listing for him could not immediately be found.
