The grand jury adjourned Friday after spending five days considering 155 cases for indictment. Among the cases receiving a true bill was a case against Vicki Marie Howard, 41, of Pell City. She is charged with the murder of her 5-year-old son, Adren “Chance” Howard, who was killed in a car wreck on Camp Creek Road, March 27. During the investigation of the wreck, authorities said they determined Howard, who was driving the vehicle Chance was riding in, had a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit when the truck she was driving left the road, hit a tree and flipped. During Howard’s preliminary hearing May 23, a state trooper investigating the wreckage said he found a half-full beer bottle that appeared to have been thrown from Howard’s vehicle during the wreck. If convicted of reckless murder, Howard could face anywhere from 10 years to life in prison, St. Clair County District Attorney Richard Minor said. Another of the indictments handed down by the grand jury was against Dan Charley, 51, of Pell City, who is charged with first-degree rape. Charley was the founder and director of Charlie Angels Ministry Group Home, which operated in the Brookside Apartment complex in Pell City for about six years, serving special needs children. The charges against Charley stem from a report filed by an employee of the group home, alleging Charley raped a 17-year-old autistic female living at the home. If convicted of first-degree rape, Charley could be sentenced to anywhere from 10 years to life in prison, Minor said. After Charley was arrested June 7, Charlie Angels Ministry Group Home’s was closed by John Houston, state commissioner of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. Other residents of the home were removed and placed in other group homes, Minor said. Following the grand jury indictments against Charley and Howard, both defendants could be arraigned during a hearing Aug. 1. If neither of the defendants reaches plea agreements with the St. Clair County District Attorneys Office, they could stand trial in October, Minor said.
