JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — A woman is facing charges in the death of an ETSU graduate assistant.

A Washington County grand jury indicted Mialandra Yeneek Bizzell, 25, on charges of vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident in connection to the death of Halie Ann Rex, court records show.

Rex died in the hospital after she was struck by a vehicle while riding her bicycle in October. She was 26 years old.

According to the indictment, Bizzell was driving under the influence at the time of the crash.

In Tennessee, vehicular homicide while intoxicated is a Class B felony with a potential sentence of 8–30 years in prison if convicted. Leaving the scene of an accident knowing or having reason to know that a death occurred is a Class E felony with a potential sentence of 1–6 years in prison.

According to online court records, an appearance hearing is scheduled for June 16.
