AKRON, Ohio - Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich announced Tuesday that a man plead guilty to an indictment for a vehicular homicide that occurred in 2025.
According to the prosecutor’s office, 23-year-old George Taylor, of Hartville, killed 18-year-old Isabelle Grubaugh in a crash in 2025 and plead guilty to the following charges:One count of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a first degree misdemeanor One count of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol with a breath alcohol concentration of 0.17 or higher, a first degree misdemeanor In May 2025, the Ohio State Highway Patrol Canton Dispatch Center received a call from the Springfield Township dispatch to assist with a single-vehicle accident. The incident occurred on Massillon Road in Springfield Township, the prosecutor’s office said, and a gray Volkswagen sedan struck a telephone pole.
The telephone pole split as a result of the impact, and the passenger, 18-year-old Isabelle Grubaugh, was found deceased in the vehicle. The prosecutor’s office said when officers spoke to the driver, Taylor, they could smell alcohol on his breath and observed that his eyes were red and glassy. Officers also observed Taylor stumbling and lacking balance, and he failed multiple field sobriety tests.
His breathalyzer test revealed he had a 0.204 BAC, more than double the legal limit of 0.08%, the prosecutor’s office said. An interior search of the vehicle recovered an empty jar of moonshine and two additional open and partially-full containers of alcohol. George Taylor killed Isabelle Grubaugh that night with his reckless actions. There is no excuse for drunk driving.
My heart goes out to Isabelle Grubaugh’s family during this deeply difficult time. No family should have to endure losing a loved one this way.
