Georgia man indicted after fishing tournament boat crash killed 3 in Alabama
Flint Davis faces multiple charges including manslaughter after operating a boat at 67 mph that caused a fatal crash killing three men during a Major League Fishing tournament.
- On April 16, a Cullman County grand jury indicted Flint Davis, 22, on three manslaughter counts after a Smith Lake collision during the Tackle Warehouse Invitational.
- Court documents say the boat was traveling 67 miles per hour, and charging papers contend Davis lacked proper boater safety certification.
- Authorities identified the victims as John Clark, 44; Jeffrey Little, 62; and Joey Broom, 48, while two other people aboard the struck boat were injured and later sought legal counsel.
- He was booked into the Cullman County Jail and released on bonds totaling $115,000, facing two counts of first-degree assault, reckless operation, and boating without boater safety certification.
- Families have filed wrongful-death lawsuits naming Davis, Major League Fishing, Boyd Duckett and Smith Lake Striper Guide Service, while the ALEA Marine Patrol investigates and MLF cooperates with authorities.
