Charles Long II, 56, was also charged with aggravated assault for allegedly pulling a knife on a camper, and with marijuana possession for a quarter-pound of the drug found in his bedroom closet. The second-degree murder charge was filed over the death of 14-year-old Anthony Haynes. He died July 1 while attending a five-week boot camp operated by the America's Buffalo Soldiers Re-enactors Association. The medical examiner's office said Haynes died of complications from dehydration and near-drowning -- dehydration after being made to stand in the sun for up to five hours, the near-drowning from being left in a motel bathtub, where he had been taken to cool him off. Camp sergeant Ray Anderson, 39, was also arrested Friday and charged with child abuse for allegedly spanking, stomping, beating and whipping more than 14 children. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
