Skipper in fatal boat wreck tested for intoxicants - Kenneth Venard, of Newport died

Skipper in fatal boat wreck tested for intoxicants PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Authorities are awaiting the results of toxicology tests given to the skipper of a fishing boat that wrecked last week, killing one man.

An Oregon State Police spokesman said the same man was arrested in December for boating under the influence of intoxicants.

Kirk Opheim, of Burlington, Wash., was arrested Dec. 23 after a tipster told police he was drinking and piloting the Starrigavan.
