Marshal Teddy Holcomb was killed after he was struck by a car that was fleeing from other officers.
Marshal Holcomb had set up a roadblock to help catch a motorist fleeing from other officers on Ohio 13. He was standing outside his car when the driver of the fleeing car struck him and then struck his car. Marshal Holcomb's wife was also injured.
He was not working at the time, but a call for his assistance was given over the radio, which he had in his car. Marshal Holcomb went to assist with his personal vehicle since they were coming into his village.
The driver pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, driving while intoxicated, and resisting arrest. He was sentenced to three to ten years.
