A Boston attorney who spends his days representing defendants charged with operating under the influence was arraigned today, accused of drunkenly operating a boat during an accident that resulted in a 19-year-old woman’s arm being cut off by the vessel’s propeller.
Benjamin Urbelis, 33, of Charlestown, was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on charges of “operating a boat while under the influence causing serious bodily injury, negligent operation of a boat, and operating a motorboat without a legally required identification number,” according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.
