Prosecutors have added a manslaughter charge against the 15-year-old Frederick resident arrested last month after a fatal assault at The Great Frederick Fair.
Prosecutor Laura Wilt, with the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office, said at a hearing Monday that her office filed the manslaughter charge, one count of first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault against the 15-year-old. His 16-year-old brother has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault.
The 15-year-old punched 59-year-old Mount Airy resident John Weed and knocked him to the ground, said Will Cockey, a spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office. The 16-year-old was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, one for an initial punch to the back of the head, the other for spitting on Weed as he was on the ground, Cockey said.
