A Butler County grand jury indicted a Hamilton man who is accused of a 1997 homicide, according to court records.

Authorities say Hubert H. Whitehead III of Hamilton “did cause the death” of a person, who was not identified in court documents.

Whitehead was indicted by a Butler County grand jury on Monday on three felonies.

He’s facing a murder charge, which is an unclassified felony and carries a prison sentence of 15 years to life.

The murder charge includes a gun specification, which could add three years to the minimum prison sentence.

Whitehead was also indicted on two felonious assault counts, both of which are second-degree felonies.

The Butler County prosecutor’s office could not provide more details about the case.
