Charges were filed Wednesday night in connection with a weekend crash that killed two teenagers.
According to a press release issued by police, Brian M. Green Jr. was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated vehicular homicide. The charges stemmed from the crash Saturday night along Morse Road on the city's north side.
In an interview with 10TV News on Tuesday, Green said that he and his girlfriend, Kristen Pressel, were driving to Circleville with his father in a Ford Thunderbird when the crash occurred.

Green claimed that his father was trying to make a left turn when another car struck them from behind and pushed their car into oncoming traffic.
"(The car) hit our back and our car shoved into the BMW and that was it," Green said.
The collision killed Pressel, 18, along with Nikki Hymes, also 18, who was driving the BMW.
Pressel's friends told 10TV that she had found out one day before the crash that she was pregnant. The unborn child's death prompted police to file three charges of aggravated vehicular homicide in the case.
During the interview, Green expressed anger at his father, whom he blamed for the crash.
"I don't even want to talk to him," Green said. "He can go on with his life. I hope he has to live with it everyday."
Police believe that Green was the person driving the Thunderbird when the car went left of center, striking Hymes' BMW, 10TV's Lindsey Seavert reported.
Earlier this week, witnesses told 10TV News that the Thunderbird was racing a Ford Mustang before the crash occurred.
According to a witness, the Thunderbird passed several cars using the center lane before sideswiping a car traveling eastbound on Morse Road. The Thunderbird then swerved into oncoming traffic and struck the BMW head-on.
Green previously denied claims that racing played a part in the crash.
"We were kind of speeding a little bit, I'm going to be honest about that," Green said, "But as far as racing goes, no racing involved."
Police were still searching for the person who was driving the Mustang.
