A Western Grove man, 26 year old Cody Eastep, is being held in the Boone County jail on multiple charges following a single vehicle accident which killed 25 year old Heather Fanning, a passenger in his vehicle. Two young children, who were passengers in the vehicle, and Eastep were injured and transported to North Arkansas Regional Medical Center in Harrison where they were treated and released.
Boone County Sheriff Mike Moore says Eastep has been charged with negligent homicide, DWI, two counts of first degree endangering the welfare of a minor, driving on a suspended drivers license, and reckless driving. He is being held at the Boone County jail with bond set at $20,000 on the charges for the accident as well as a probation violation and Newton County bonds of $3,515.
The Saturday accident on Old Bellefonte Road near the intersection of McElroy Road occurred when Eastep, who was traveling west on Old Bellefonte, lost control of his vehicle which rolled over and came to rest on the south side of the road. A Boone County Deputy, who responded to the accident, says he found the vehicle in the ditch with significant damage.
