A Findlay man who was previously imprisoned for hindering the Vera Jo Reigle murder investigation was arrested on Sunday after a foot chase with officers.  23 year-old Zachary Brooks fled from police officers in the area of Center and Clinton streets in Findlay Sunday afternoon after an officer attempted to stop him.  Brooks was wanted on an active warrant.  An officer found Brooks hiding behind a shed at a Center Street residence.  Brooks was arrested and taken to the Hancock County Justice Center for booking.  He was then additionally charged with obstructing official business.  Brooks was sentenced to a four-year prison term in 2011 for misleading police and threatening a witness in relation to the Reigle murder investigation, both third-degree felony charges of obstructing justice.
 

A Findlay man was seriously injured Monday when he was struck by a State Highway Patrol car.  54 year-old Scott Hildebrand was walking on the sidewalk near the Findlay post of the State Highway Patrol on North Main Street when Trooper Matthew R. Cook was making a left turn into the agency’s driveway when he struck Hildebrand.  Hildebrand refused treatment at the scene but was eventually taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center.  Santiago said Hildebrand has multiple fractures on his side, a punctured lung, and head injuries.  The trooper was cited for not giving the right of way to a pedestrian on the sidewalk.
