The charges stem from a crash that happened at State Route 49 and Free Pike on September 7, 2024.
As previously reported, 33-year-old Lakeisha Brown was driving westbound on Free Pike, crossing State Route 49, when she was hit by Matheney, who investigators said ran a red light at the intersection.
Brown, a mother of three children, was killed in the crash.
Her family previously told News Center 7 that Brown was “the life of the party” and that there was never a dull moment with her.
A Trotwood Police crash report shows Matheney’s blood alcohol level was .0235. That’s nearly three times Ohio’s legal limit of 0.08.
Matheney is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 27.
