A Connecticut teenager accused of causing a car crash that killed a Hartford police officer and seriously wounded another was arraigned on new charges Thursday including manslaughter and driving under the influence. Authorities said Richard Barrington, 18, a high school junior, fled a traffic stop conducted by other officers, drove through two red lights and smashed into the passenger side of another cruiser that was responding to an unrelated emergency call on Sept. 6. Officer Robert “Bobby” Garten, 34, an eight-year Hartford police veteran whose father retired as a detective on the force, died from his injuries, police said.
