Three seventeen year old boys have been arrested for allowing their friend, Jane Modlesky, to drive drunk. Police say the boys knew that Modlesky was drunk when she got behind the wheel of her SUV last July. She crashed into and tree and died in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Police have determined that Modlesky's blood alcohol content was 13 times the legal limit.
In charging the three boys, police are sending a message to teens and young adults that witnessing and not taking action to prevent a potentially dangerous situation makes you guilty by law. Two of the boys are charged with "reckless endangerment" and the third boy is charged with violation of "passenger restrictions and operating a motor vehicle between 11:00pm and 5:00 am."
