Knight, 62, faces eight felonies charges of leaving the scene after he struck the Clearwater Ferry, killing one man.

Jeff Knight, the former owner of Jannus Live, was charged on multiple counts of leaving the scene of a boat accident earlier this week, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Investigators interviewed several people who were onboard Jeff Knight's boat during the crash. One woman who had her 2-week-old baby on board reported hearing Knight say, "My life is over...I'm going to lose everything" right after the crash, according to the affidavit.
