Richard Stevenson, 45, allegedly smashed his 31-foot pontoon into the back of another smaller boat in a no-wake zone at high speeds, killing a 48-year-old woman and injuring her husband after a day of heavy drinking on the Fox River in Illinois Saturday, according to the McHenry County State Attorney’s Office.
