WARREN -- A Girard woman was secretly indicted Friday by a Trumbull County grand jury on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and driving under the influence in connection with a single-vehicle rollover crash in Hubbard Township in September.

Tierra Fields, 22, is in the Trumbull County Jail on a $50,000 bond, according to jail records. No court date has been set.
