A man pleaded guilty in a deadly Fourth of July boating accident on Saratoga Lake. WNYT reports Blake Heflin was operating the boat that hit and killed 20-year-old Ian Gerber. He was charged with criminally negligent homicide, but pleaded guilty Friday to a reduced charge of misdemeanor assault. Police say Heflin was intoxicated when he hit Gerber, who had jumped off Heflin’s moving boat.
