Kelley was indicted December 9, 2020, following an investigation into a vehicular homicide resulting from a hit and run crash in Cedartown, Georgia. The driver of the vehicle involved, Ralph “Ryan” Dover III, left the scene of the accident, calling Kelley from a mile away. Kelley, who saw the vehicle, contacted the Cedartown police chief at his home phone number as opposed to calling 911, constituting a "gross deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the situation," the indictment said. The man hit by Dover died in a ditch during the hour period before emergency services were summoned.[4]
