PROVIDENCE — A Barrington teenager was arraigned in Family Court today on charges that he was drunk on six cans of beer and driving twice the speed limit when he slammed a car into a tree on Monday night, killing a fellow Barrington High School student.

As his parents looked on, the 16-year-old boy entered the courtroom in handcuffs, and after the cuffs were removed, a prosecutor provided the details supporting juvenile delinquency petitions, which accuse him of refusing to submit to a chemical breath test and drunken driving, death resulting.

The boy’s attorney, John M. Cicilline, entered denials on his behalf.

Assistant Attorney General Susan Urso said the boy and four other teens decided to get some beer and hang out behind his father’s house after school Monday because there would be no school Tuesday, which was devoted to professional development for teachers.

The teens pitched in money and had a 30-pack of beer delivered to the house, and then drank beer in the back yard, near a fire pit and a shed, Urso said. The teens were at the house between 6 p.m. and 9 or 9:30 p.m., before they drove to a Taco Bell in nearby Seekonk, Mass., she said.

At about 10:50 p.m., the boy was at the wheel when the car came to a stop sign, he “squealed the tires or burned rubber” and took a right onto New Meadow Road, Urso said. The boy was “shimmying the wheel” and driving up to 60 mph in a 30 mph zone when he lost control of the car, which smashed into a tree, she said. The collision killed one of the passengers, Jon Converse, 17, of 2 Old River Rd., Barrington.
