JACKSON TWP. The Stark County Prosecutor s Office will determine if charges will be filed in a November fatal motor vehicle crash where a 23-year-old woman was killed.
Jackson Township police are close to completing an investigation of the Nov. 21 crash in which the driver of one vehicle Abigail O. Vanest of Perry Township was killed.
The suspected driver of the second vehicle, Mario Lerario of Jackson Township, fled from the scene, investigators said. Police have learned that Lerario is in a neighboring state, where he was admitted to a hospital for treatment.
Jackson Police Chief Mark Brink said a lawyer representing Lerario has been in contact with local police. Brink declined to identify the neighboring state where Lerario was hospitalized.
CANTON When it s cold and snowy outside, Chris Garloch is reminded of her brother s death.
Thoughts fill her head of the pain and suffering Mark Billiter went through in April 2018 after he wandered away undetected from Glenwood Care and Rehabilitation in Canton.
Billiter, 56, was found frozen to death two days later next to a small building outside a self-serve gas station on Louisville Street NE, about four miles from the nursing facility.
Garloch said her brother had dementia and lacked the ability to make choices to keep him safe. That is why he was in a secure area of Glenwood, she said.
