The alleged drunk driver who fatally plowed down NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his younger brother in southern New Jersey Thursday night appeared to sigh with exasperation when he learned he would be in jail through next week.
Sean Higgins, 43, was arraigned on two counts of second degree vehicle manslaughter by the Salem County Court at 1 p.m. Friday.
Judge Michael J. Silvanio ordered Higgins to be held until his detention hearing next Thursday, September 5.

“So…I’m here until Thursday?” Higgins asked the judge at one point during the proceedings.
When the judge explained that the usual 72-hour holding period was extended due to the holiday weekend, Higgins sat back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh.
Higgins appeared virtually before the judge around the same time that the Goudreau brothers were set to be groomsmen in the Friday afternoon wedding of the sister, Katie.
