The Ulster County Grand Jury, today, handed up an indictment charging John Playford with Vehicular Manslaughter in the first degree, et alia.

It is alleged that, at that time, Playford operated his Jeep Cherokee at an excessively high rate of speed while in an intoxicated condition causing the death of the passenger in the vehicle.
Playford will be scheduled for arraignment in Ulster County Court at a date to be determined.
