-A Stanley man charged with the death of his passenger after a one vehicle accident appeared in Clark County Court on Wednesday.Back in October, Jacob Person and Tasha Ley were traveling on Bridge Road in the Township of Hixon when they tried to pass a tractor. The SUV, driven by Person, struck the tractor as they tried to pass and rolled several times. Ley was ejected from the vehicle and killed. Person was taken to the hospital and disappeared briefly after the hospital failed to notify the Sheriff’s Department that he had been treated. Person turned himself into authorities about a week later.
Person has been charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and knowingly operated while suspended. During his preliminary hearing on Wednesday, probable cause was found so his court proceedings will continue. He’ll be back in court in February.
