After investigating the “unusual circumstances” of a Union woman’s death on June 4, Boone County officials charged and arrested the woman’s boyfriend with murder on Wednesday afternoon.
Daniel Vetter, 33, of Union, was arrested at the Kenton County Detention Center, where he was already serving a 30-day sentence for a DUI conviction from June 5. Vetter was charged with murder with a domestic violence specification, tampering with physical evidence and falsely reporting an incident.

Vetter originally called 911 on June 4 and told dispatchers he was outside his apartment on the phone with his mother when his girlfriend began banging her head on a window and went unresponsive, according to a release from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials said Meranda Hobbs, 27, died after the incident.
“She banged her head against the window and she’s now unresponsive,” Vetter said on in the 911 tapes obtained by The Enquirer. “I’ve been trying to get her to come around for a couple of minutes and I can’t get her to and now I’m scared.
“I’m just really scared.”
Dispatchers later ask Vetter in the phone call how she hit her head on the window.
“We had been drinking this morning,” Vetter said. “It’s a long story. I was on the phone with my mother outside and I hear a big noise and she banged her head against the window and I’m calling you.”
Hobbs and Vetter were both living at the same address in the 10000 block of Turner Drive on the day of the incident, officials said.
“Unusual circumstances” surrounded the incident and led to further investigation from the Criminal Investigations Division, according to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.
Vetter is currently being held in the Kenton County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond.
