The trial for Johnny Dwight Roberts, facing several charges in connection with a fatal crash involving a scooter, is scheduled to begin Oct. 27.

During a pretrial conference Monday, Warren Circuit Judge Steve Wilson scheduled the trial for Roberts, 47, of Bowling Green, who has been charged with second-degree manslaughter, tampering with physical evidence, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, possession of an open alcohol container in a motor vehicle and first-degree persistent felony offender.

Roberts, who is being represented by Sam Lowe of the Department of Public Advocacy, is accused of driving the vehicle that struck a scooter driven by Marricus Cox, 21, of Bowling Green on Veterans Memorial Lane on Sept. 21.

Roberts allegedly threw beer cans from the vehicle after the collision.

He faces up to 15 years on the manslaughter and tampering charges, though the persistent felony offender charge could increase the sentence to 20 years if convicted.
