Robert Ellis, 53, who has 36 driving suspensions has been indicted in the death of his wife following another car crash.<br data-cke-eol=”1″> After his most recent crash, Ellis was indicted on four felony charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and operating a vehicle under the influence of being a repeat offender, police said on Wednesday.
It was the 13th time he was charged with operating under the influence, dating back to 1985. A fourth OVI offense on Ohio nets an offender with 60 days to a year in jail — including three years to a permanent license suspension, according to dui.drivinglaws.org.
“While investigating this fatal traffic crash it was very clear to investigators that Mr. Ellis is one of the worst habitual repeat offenders of drunk driving we have seen,” the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “He has no regard for human life.”
Police said he managed to tally up 36 past driving suspensions, one of which was still active at the time of the crash.

Bobbi Spencer, the daughter of Dawn Ellis, said Robert caused her mother and family a lot of pain.
“I’m so happy he’s behind bars so he cannot put anyone else’s family through what he’s put us through,” Spencer told WCMH. “But it’s still never gonna take the pain away that he’s caused all of us.”
Neighbors also say that alcohol played a large role in Robert and Dawn Ellis’s relationship.
“They’d go to the bars, come home late at night,” neighbor Steven McDonald told the outlet. “Jazz [Robert] would be up on the porch passed out and Dawn would be down on the sidewalk calling for help because they was both drunk.”
