A 77-year-old campground owner has been charged with reckless manslaughter in last summer’s electrocution of a Granby teen who was trying to save his dog from a submerged live wire.
Charles Haddock is scheduled to be advised of the charges against him in Grand County district court on Nov. 28.
He faces a single felony charge in the June 20 death of Ian Raftshol, 16, who died wading into a pond on a nine-hole golf course at the Roadside Trailer Park to save his mixed-breed dog, Emmy, authorities said.
The dog began yelping after being shocked by the naked electric wire that apparently had been strung through the water to ward off beavers, according to officials with the Grand County sheriff’s department.
Haddock, reached at the business on Monday, declined to comment about the case. He was issued a summons on the charges and not required to post bail.
The dog survived.
