Edward Balliet, 70, was indicted by a Clark County grand jury on Monday on murder, felonious assault, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide, and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to Clark County Common Pleas Court records.
The charges stem from a deadly crash at Snyder Park in August 2024.

As News Center 7 previously reported, 69-year-old Larry Blevins was outside his car at Snyder Park when another car hit and killed him.
A crash report lists Balliet as the driver of the Chevrolet Cruze that hit Blevins.
An employee for the Clark County Public Library previously told News Center 7 that Blevins was a beloved security officer for one of the branches.
He was also a one-time council member in Tremont City.
A warrant has been issued for Balliet’s arrest, according to court records.
We’re working to learn when he’s set to appear in court.
