U.S. Marshals arrested a Dayton man Tuesday morning who is accused of fleeing the scene of a two-vehicle crash in November that killed one of his passengers.

Jan Anthony Henderson, 57, is scheduled to appear May 11 for his arraignment in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for aggravated vehicular homicide, failure to stop after an accident, and a misdemeanor count of vehicular homicide following his indictment Friday by a county grand jury.

Henderson was driving a 2003 Ford Explorer around 8:45 p.m. Nov. 21, 2022, northwest through a construction zone in the 1500 block of Wayne Avenue when he attempted to change lanes and collided with a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox driven by a 49-year-old Middletown woman, according to a Dayton Police Department crash report.

The impact forced the Explorer to hit a curb before striking an RTA pole.

Two passengers in the SUV Henderson was driving were taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

Andre Young, 46, of Dayton, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The second passenger, a 43-year-old Dayton woman, was treated for minor injuries, according to the report.

Alcohol was suspected in the crash after which Henderson fled the scene, the report stated.

Henderson was booked Tuesday into the Montgomery County Jail after the U.S. Marshals Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team arrested him in the 400 block of Ethel Avenue in Dayton.

“The U.S. Marshals and Dayton Police Department have a long-standing partnership on the task force. The safe capture of this fugitive is the result of the hard work done by the Dayton P.D. investigators and the collaboration with our fugitive task force. We will continue to work with and support our partners in making the community safer,” said Michael D. Black, U.S. Marshal.
