RHODES — A man authorities say is responsible for an accident on Highway 330 in southern Marshall County has been charged with vehicular homicide.
The Iowa State Patrol says Johnathan Dowd, 21, of Bondurant, failed to yield at a stop sign and was crossing the highway when his vehicle was struck by two motorcyles near The Harvester golf course April 28.
The full accident report released by the Iowa State Patrol lists Dowd as under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident.
Gregory Teasley, 47, of Omaha, Neb., was killed because of the impact.
Also injured was another man on a different motorcycle, Horace Bethea, 55, of Bellevue, Neb. He was taken to Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center, where he was treated and released. Both men were wearing helmets at the time of the accident.
Dowd and a passenger in his vehicle, John Kimberley, 30, of Collins, were also listed as injured on the state patrol’s accident report, but neither was transported to a hospital.
The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene, but the investigation and scene was under the jurisdiction of the state patrol.

I am glad to see that Johnathon Dowd was charged with vehicular homicide. Now I just want to know how much time he will receive. He took away an important person in my life from being carless now I feel he needs to be punished to the fullest.
