ALFRED, Maine (AP) A Maine woman accused of driving onto a baseball field and hitting and killing a man is facing more than a dozen charges including manslaughter and aggravated assault.

A grand jury returned a 15-count indictment this week against 51-year-old Carol Sharrow, in York County Superior Court.

Sharrow, of Sanford, is charged with killing 68-year-old Douglas Parkhurst, of West Newfield. Police said at the time of Parkhurst’s death that the car came careening onto the field during a boy’s baseball game at Goodall Park in Sanford. Video showed it circling the bases as umpires and players fled.

Police say the hit-and-run took place on June 1. Sharrow’s attorney didn’t immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
