Charges stemmed from a November 2021 incident where Parham allegedly hit and killed a toddler while backing out of a driveway in the 4500 block of Bluehaven Drive.
One-year-old Avion Chatman, of Dayton, was standing in the driveway when the car backed up and hit him, according to a crash report.
Chatman was taken from the scene to Dayton Children’s Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
