Woman to be sentenced for vehicular homicide

By Gretchen Dowler 2 min read

A warrant was issued for a woman's arrest after she did not appear for sentencing on a charge of vehicular homicide Friday morning in Washington County Common Pleas Court.

Amy Andermanis, 43, of 1110 Moody Ridge Road, Vincent, was indicted in December 2021 on one count of aggravated vehicular homicide, a first-degree felony; three counts of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse or a combination of them, all first-degree misdemeanors; and one count of driving under suspension, an unclassified misdemeanor.

Andermanis was involved in a two-vehicle crash with Eddie Brown, 24, on Veto Road near Braun Road in Dunham Township on Sept. 27, 2021. Brown sustained fatal injuries when his vehicle was struck by Andermanis'. A blood test and two urine test yielded results greater than 0.08% blood-alcohol level for Andermanis.

Andermanis pleaded guilty in August to a bill of information charging her with vehicular homicide, a fourth-degree felony, and a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence.

Sentencing for Andermanis was scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday but was delayed due to her belief that it started at 9:30, according to Judge John Halliday. The court offered her leeway time and did not start the hearing until 9:50 a.m., but she still did not appear.

Halliday revoked her personal recognizance bond and sent out a warrant for her arrest immediately after the hearing.

Andermanis was arrested Friday afternoon, Washington County Prosecutor Nicole Coil said. A sentencing hearing has been set for Tuesday afternoon, and she will also face an additional charge of breach of recognizance, Coil said.
