LISBON — A Salem man accused of hitting a woman with his vehicle while intoxicated in May on South Lincoln Avenue, Salem pleaded guilty to multiple charges, with sentencing set Dec. 20.

Eric Greathouse, 29, South Lincoln Avenue, appeared recently in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court and entered guilty pleas to fourth-degree felony charges of vehicular assault and domestic violence, along with misdemeanors for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs and driving under suspension.

As part of the plea agreement, a first-degree felony of felonious assault will be dismissed.

The incident occurred May 25 this year when Salem police officers were called for an intoxicated driver in the 300 block of South Lincoln Avenue, finding that a woman had been struck by the alleged intoxicated driver, who also struck a pole before continuing south on Lincoln and then was stopped by police after being seen driving near his residence.
