A grand jury in Suffolk County has indicted a former state trooper from Western Massachusetts.
Twenty-six-year-old Kristopher Carr of Monson is charged with motor vehicle homicide by operating under the influence of alcohol.
The rookie trooper allegedly caused a fatal crash on I-93 in Boston last fall.
“As a member of law enforcement, Kristopher Carr had first-hand knowledge of the consequences that can result from driving drunk. That he chose to ignore those consequences cost Christopher Zike his life. My office is available to Mr. Zike’s loved ones – and all survivors of motor vehicle homicide – to ensure that they have the support and resources they need,” Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.
Carr is due to be arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on October 4th.
