Former Penn State Receiver Julian Fleming Charged With Homicide by Vehicle While DUI in Fatal ATV Crash

Court records show he posted $75,000 bail after arraignment ahead of a preliminary hearing later this month.

Overview

  • Pennsylvania State Police filed charges Oct. 7 including homicide by vehicle while DUI, homicide by vehicle, aggravated assault by vehicle, and DUI.
  • An affidavit cites a blood-alcohol level of 0.118 and states Fleming admitted drinking five or six beers before the May 23 ride.
  • Investigators reported the ATV struck a deer on Painter Lick Lane in Columbia Township, found deer hair on the vehicle, and noted neither occupant wore a helmet.
  • Alyssa Boyd, 23, was pronounced dead at the scene, and Fleming was seriously injured in the crash.
  • Fleming’s attorney has called the case a tragic accident that should not be criminal, and authorities have indicated additional charges may be possible.
