The district attorney prosecuting a fatal Maine haunted hayride crash says the driver was indicted for only reckless conduct, a misdemeanor.  Androscoggin County District Attorney originally announced that David Brown was indicted on three felony charges: manslaughter, aggravated assault and driving to endanger. But he said Thursday that he was mistaken and that Brown faces only the misdemeanor charge. A mechanic also was charged with reckless conduct while Harvest Hills Farm Inc. was charged with several felonies, including manslaughter.

A Maine wildlife warden says a bald eagle was apparently electrocuted when a lamprey eel it had captured came in contact with power lines in Milbridge. It was one of the more unusual bald eagle deaths he's ever investigated. They suspect the eagle caught the eel in a nearby bay and was flying over power lines with the eel dangling from its talons. The eel came in contact with the power line, killing them. Another surprise came when leg bands revealed the eagle had lived 31 years, considerably longer than the typical lifespan for a bald eagle that reaches adulthood. (AP)
