A father facing charges he neglected his 2-year-old son when the boy drowned in Carter Lake was arrested again on Saturday night.
Gil Dwayne Fitzgerald Smith, 44, of Longmont was drunk and crashed into another boat while driving his 17-foot white and blue Bayliner boat in Carter Lake, according to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department.
Shay Smith’s body was never recovered.
Sheriff’s officials say Smith caused minor damage to the boat he crashed into on Saturday evening.
When deputies tried to arrest him, they say he was combative, kicking and banging his head against a car window. An ambulance was called to take him to Poudre Valley Hospital for observation.
Smith was later taken to the Larimer County Detention Center and held there on $2,000 bond on suspicion of boating under the influence of alcohol, resisting arrest and careless boating.
