(KNZA)--A St. Joseph man charged in connection with a single-vehicle Doniphan County wreck in November 2015 that claimed the life of his 8-year-old granddaughter is scheduled for arraignment December 21st.
57-year-old Dennis Meers has been bound over to Doniphan County District Court on a charge of aggravated endangerment of a child.
Killed in the November 22nd wreck on 175th Road west of Wathena was Cadence Orcutt, of Troy.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Meers had given the child permission to drive his car.
The Patrol says Orcutt lost control of the car for an unknown reason. The vehicle left the roadway where it went down an embankment and overturned.
Orcutt, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Meers was arrested in June in Buchanan County on a Doniphan County warrant and extradited to Doniphan County in October.
He remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held on a $25,000 bond.
