Two
More Duck Boat Employees Indicted |
|
Prosecutors
announced Thursday that two more employees of Ripley Entertainment have been
indicted on federal charges related to last year's duck boat sinking on Table
Rock Lake that resulted in 17 deaths. Curtis P. Lanham, 36, of Galena and
Charles V. Baltzell, 76, of Kirbyville were each indicted on more than a dozen
felony charges. The U.S. Attorney's Office accuses the employees of Ripley
Entertainment of prioritizing profits over safety when they put the amphibious
Stretch Duck 7 vessel on the water on the evening of July 19 despite warnings
that severe weather was approaching.
