(AP) — Police say a tourist from Pittsburgh has been charged with manslaughter after a deadly fight at a Hawaiʻi vacation rental. Big Island police say a second tourist from Boston who had been arrested was released with no charges filed. Police were called to the Kailua-Kona vacation rental earlier this week when a 30-year-old man wasn’t breathing. Benjamin Fleming of Pittsburgh and Alexander Germany-Wald of Boston were arrested. Fleming was later charged while Germany-Wald was released after police conferred with prosecutors. Fleming’s defense attorney asked to postpone his preliminary hearing and noted his client has no criminal history. Germany-Wald couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
