SIDNEY — A Sidney man was indicted by a grand jury, Thursday, Aug. 24, following a fatal car crash, June 29.
Chadwick Amburgey, 36, of Sidney, was indicted on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, operating a motor vehicle with a specified concentration of a controlled substance and operating a motor vehicle with a specified concentration of alcohol.
His indictment says that he was driving while under the influence of cocaine and marijuana and had a blood alcohol concentration of .104. He is charged with the death of Michael Vest, 35, of Conover, who was pronounced dead at the scene by the Shelby County coroner.
According to a press release from the Sidney Police Department, Amburgey was driving a 2007 Chevy Impala at 11:12 p.m., June 29. He was traveling westbound on state Route 47, when he struck a minivan which was in the process of making a right turn from Royan Avenue onto state Route 47.
After striking the minivan, Amburgey’s vehicle hit the guardrail. The vehicle came to rest on the right side of state Route 47. There were three occupants in the Impala. Vest was an occupant of that vehicle.
The minivan was driven by Stephanie Dowty, 27, of Piqua. There were four individuals in her vehicle.
Also indicted, Thursday, was a Dayton woman, who has been charged with aggravated trafficking in drugs, illegal conveyance of prohibited items onto grounds of a detention facility and aggravated possession of drugs.

The indictment charges her with possession of 29 grams of methamphetamine near a school and charges her with taking some into the Shelby County jail.
