_ — SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (AP) — A second Massachusetts teenager charged in the bullying of a 15-year-old girl who committed suicide has been charged with drunken driving.

Police said 17-year-old Ashley Longe of South Hadley was arrested Aug. 31 and has pleaded not guilty to operating under the influence and other charges. Her arrest was reported Wednesday by The Republican newspaper of Springfield. Longe’s lawyer did not immediately return calls seeking comment Wednesday.

Longe is one of six youths charged in connection with the January suicide of Phoebe Prince, a South Hadley High School freshman who prosecutors said was subjected to months of “unrelenting” bullying.

Longe has pleaded not guilty to criminal harassment and other charges.

Austin Renaud, who has pleaded not guilty to statutory rape in the Prince case, was charged with operating under the influence in April. He pleaded not guilty.
