The deaths of two men in a boat crash on Lake Jordan the night of July 4 is exactly why Elmore County District Attorney Randall Houston pushed for those who drink and drive on the water to be punished as severely as those who drive under the influence on the roads.

Damion Bruno, 41, of Clanton was arrested and charged last week with two counts of reckless murder in the deaths of Clay Jackson, 26, of Deatsville and Travis House, 17, of Marbury. Bruno was also charged with first-degree assault for injuries suffered by Caleb Peters, second-degree assault for injuries incurred by Randy Young and for driving under the influence. Bruno is being held in the Elmore County Jail on $750,000 bond.
