Charles Queer, 64, of Tallmadge, was sentenced to 3 years in prison, fined $15,000, and has had his license suspended for the rest of his life, in Summit County Common Pleas Court Friday morning. Judge Joy Malek-Oldfield handing down that sentence. 

Back in March of 2016, 17-year-old Patricia Powell's car had broken down along I-76 in Akron. Queer, who was driving under the influence, slammed his car into the back of Powell's vehicle, killing her. 

Queer pleaded no contest to two felony counts of aggravated vehicle homicide and one misdemeanor count of operating under the influence of alcohol. In court, Queer's attorney said that while he's entering a no contest plea, his client is not denying guilt. 

The family of Powell recalled that in court, Queer had expressed no remorse and had never apologized for taking her life. Powell was a senior at Ellet High School, scheduled to graduate that year. 

The Tallmadge man that was charged in connection with the traffic death of an Akron teen on Easter morning has now been indicted.

17 year-old Patricia Powell was driving eastbound on I-76 and pulled over when her car broke down. While she was on the side of the road attending to her car, another driver slammed into the back of her car, killing her.

A Summit County Grand Jury has indicted 63 year-old Charles Queer for that crash. He was charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and three counts of OVI.

Queer is scheduled to be arraigned in Summit County court Friday.
