Fleming faces nine counts including homicide by vehicle in ATV crash

Former Ohio State and Penn State wide receiver Julian Fleming, 24, appeared in Bradford County court Wednesday to face nine criminal counts, including homicide by vehicle, after an all-terrain vehicle crash on May 23 that killed his girlfriend, 23-year-old Alyssa Boyd, authorities said.

Court documents and Pennsylvania State Police records list charges that include homicide by vehicle, homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault by vehicle, aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence, and driving under the influence. Fleming was listed in court records as being held in the Bradford County Prison on a $75,000 bond. He was seriously injured in the crash and transported to a hospital; Boyd was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Investigators say Fleming was driving a Yamaha four-wheeler on rural backroads in Columbia Township near Troy, Pennsylvania, when the vehicle struck a deer. Neither occupant was wearing helmets, police reported. Court documents show Fleming’s blood alcohol content measured .118 after the collision, above Pennsylvania’s legal limit of .08.

Fleming’s attorney, David Bahuriak, objected to the charges...
