Brian Smith, the driver that lost control of his minivan on Saturday June 19 in North Lovell, may be jailed for up to 10 years and fined up to $20,000 after an Oxford County grand jury indicted him on charges of aggravated assault. He also faces charges of driving to endanger and he could be jailed for up to six months and lose his driver's license for up to 180 days if convicted of the second charge.
Smith who told police he became distracted by his Rottweiler, Bullet, trying to open a cooler with his nose at the time of the accident, has not yet been arrested, but the Oxford County Superior Court is preparing a summons that could be presented to him in the next few days, and is likely to be arrained within the next 2 months.
