Department of Natural Resources officials filed charges this week against two juveniles involved in two separate hunting accidents earlier this year - one in which a man was killed. A 15-year-old boy who fired a shot during a Jan. 8 hunting accident that killed Mitchell Swint, 57, Ga. 46, Pembroke, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, hunting without hunter safety course certification, and careless use of a firearm or archery tackle while hunting wildlife, according to Bulloch County Jail reports.Unless they are charged as adults, the Statesboro Herald does not publish the names of juveniles charged with crimes. In an interview shortly after the accident, DNR Sgt. William Vickers said Swint had been struck in several areas of his body.
