REPEAT OVI OFFENDER INDICTED ON OVI CHARGES

March 23, 2018 – A Delaware County Grand Jury returned a three-count indictment against 32-year-old Kevin M. Lauer of Columbus.

 

Lauer was travelling eastbound on State Route 750 near Lyra Drive in Orange Township when he was pulled over for speeding.

“During the traffic stop, Mr. Lauer showed signs of impairment and was arrested,” said Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O’Brien. “He was observed to have slurred speech, an odor of alcohol on his person, and glassy, bloodshot eyes.”

Lauer has four previous OVI convictions on his record, dating back to 2006 and continuing to 2009, 2013, and 2016. He was indicted on three counts of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs – all fourth-degree felonies.

An arraignment date for Lauer has not yet been set.
