DAYTON —
A 31-year-old man indicted Thursday for two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide was arrested this morning on a warrant.
According to jail records, Ryan M. Hayes was arrested at about 8:10 a.m. on the 3400 block of West Riverview Avenue. He was booked into the Mongomery County Jail on the felony charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, which are misdemeanors.
Ryan Hayes will be arraigned Jan. 31 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court in the death of Kadriyyah Harvey, 33, also of Trotwood, according to Greg Flannagan, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.
Harvey was killed the night of Sept. 17, 2011, when Hayes drove through cautionary signs at Hoover and Goodlow avenues that signaled a road closure and slammed head-on into a large piece of construction equipment.
Harvey was a front-seat passenger.
The signs had been erected months earlier and a police investigation determined Hayes had a blood-alcohol content of .171, more than double the legal limit, Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr.’s office said Thursday.
Hayes was taken to Miami Valley Hospital suffering from serious injuries.
The indictment returned by a county grand jury accuses Hayes on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
Because Hayes was intoxicated at the time of the crash, the homicide charge is punishable by up to eight years incarceration.
Heck said, “This defendant was recklessly driving after having consumed alcohol, and ended up killing his girlfriend. This death was completely avoidable if only the defendant had not made the decision to drive while drunk.”
