Tuesday, April 16, 2024 4:55PMAn Ohio man who authorities say fatally shot an Uber driver who he thought was trying to rob him after a scam caller deceived them both has been indicted on a murder charge.
Court documents did not list an attorney for him and a telephone number for Brock could not be located. He has pleaded not guilty and could face a life sentence if convicted on the murder charge. Brock had received scam calls from someone pretending to be an officer from the local court who eventually began making threats and demanding money, authorities said. The victim, Loletha Hall, 61, was an Uber driver who had been told to retrieve a package from Brock's home, a request authorities say apparently was made by the same scam caller or an accomplice.

Ohio's Shame: Michigan Football’s Recruitment in OhioI did some research as result of a post by BeatMeechigun, stating that most of the Michigan fans in NW Ohio were fans as result of families knowing someone who played there at some point.
