Woman who admitted hitting man is indicted on murder charge
DAYTON — A woman who admitted hitting William “Bill” Cheeks in the head with a pipe two days before his death was indicted Thursday, Feb. 25, on a murder charge.
The grand jury also indicted Veronica Spears on two counts of felonious assault and one count of tampering with evidence.
Spears, 45, was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on Feb. 17, nearly five days after she dropped Cheeks off at Good Samaritan Hospital with significant head injuries.
Cheeks died at Miami Valley Hospital on Feb. 15. An autopsy found Cheeks died of blunt force trauma to the head.
Spears told reporters on Feb. 16 that she had hit Cheeks.
“They (police) consider me a suspect,” Spears said. “Yeah I hit him, but I didn’t kill him.”
