Depler was arrested following a fatal ATV accident last month in Franklin County that resulted in fatal injuries to Eco C. Edmonds, 26, of Mulkeytown.

Last week a Franklin County Grand Jury handed down a seven-count indictment charging Depler with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to stop after having an accident involving personal injury, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of cannabis, improper operation of an all-terrain vehicle on a roadway, driving while license suspended and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

Following the continuance Depler is now slated to appear in Franklin County Court for an arraignment hearing on August 7 at 1:30 p.m.
