POMEROY — An arrest warrant has been issued for Brandi Hicks Hill, whose trial on two aggravated vehicular homicide charges and drug-related counts is set to begin next week.

Hill is accused of being high on cocaine when she caused a double-fatality crash last year. A passenger in her SUV and a man driving another vehicle were killed.

According to a motion to revoke bond filed by Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams, Hill failed a drug test on June 10, and admitted to her supervising officer that she had used drugs. The motion also alleges that she has failed to appear before her supervising parole officer, and that she was not living at her approved residence. She was ordered to surrender herself to authorities but is still at large.

The motion to revoke probation is based on the defendant’s drug use, the threat she presents to public safety and her alleged failure to comply and the new warrants issued against her. At a hearing before Judge Fred W. Crow III on the motion, she was ordered arrested and held until she could appear in court.

Hill, 26, also known as Brandi Hicks, is charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, posession of cocaine and two counts of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of cocaine.

Robert W. Harrison II, 40, and Stephanie J. English, 38, were killed on April 26, 2009, in an auto accident on Ohio 143. English was a passenger in an SUV officials later determined Hill was driving while under the influence of cocaine.

Hill allegedly struck two vehicles waiting to make left-hand turns, then went left of center into the path of Harrison’s truck. The truck burst into flames on impact. with Harrison trapped inside.

Hill and others were treated at regional hospitals for injuries from the accident.

At the time of her indictment in the double-fatality auto accident, Hill was serving time in Lisbon on unrelated drug charges. When she was released in March, she was released on a personal recognizance bond of $1,000, a $25,000 appearance bond and $10,000 surety bond. She had retained Pomeroy Attorney Charles Knight.

Can somebody say "cry me a river". Yes drugs ruin lives but we all have that choice to use the drugs or not. There are many others who also have had troubled and even terrible childhoods but are non drug using, non murdering, upstanding citizens. Miss Brandi has been running around having a grand ole time instead of showing remorse for the two lives she took. Lets put the blame where it belongs, on Brandi not the fact she lost her mom at a young age and had a child at a young age. She is so in your face, out partying it up in front of everyone but yet the police can not find her. This is not a one time unfortunate event for Brandi. Have you seen her arrest record? OMG!!! But yet she apparently was given chance after chance. Maybe if she would have been locked up for the other things she has done, there would not have been two people taken from this earth in such a horrible way. Pray for the families and Brandi's poor little child.

Drugs will ruin you life, she was a child of children, she lost her mother when she was small and had no one to really raise or take care of her like she should have been. She needs to come forward and face the consequences and take the opportunity of her punishment as a chance to change her life not just for herself but for her child, to break the cycle that lead her down the wrong path. It is hard to believe it has been over a year for the families of this tragedy, they need justice.
