Many charges leveled in fatal hit-skip
A Madisonville man was indicted Friday on charges of driving the car that sped away after a fatal hit-skip accident downtown.
Ricardo Meadows, 20, faces up to 14 years in prison if convicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide, two counts of aggravated vehicular assault and one count of not stopping after an accident.
Mr. Meadows is accused of driving the Chevrolet Celebrity that struck four people Aug. 10 as it sped out of the College Street alley at Sixth Street between Race and Vine streets.
Nicholas Barbas, an elderly transient, suffered head injuries and died a day later. Three teen-agers also were injured.
Prosecutor Mike Allen said Mr. Meadows drove away while a passenger, 20-year-old Orlando Sattiewhite, removed a temporary license tag from the rear window.
Mr. Sattiewhite was indicted Friday on a charge of obstructing justice. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
Mr. Allen said Mr. Meadows has claimed his car had bad brakes.
