Ohio man rams SUV into home

NEW CARLISLE, Ohio (AP) — Ohio authorities say a man who told them he was facing foreclosure rammed his house with an SUV.

The Clark County sheriff’s office says 30-year-old Steve Doak did extensive structural damage to his home in New Carlisle. He was arrested Tuesday on charges of inducing panic, disorderly conduct, reckless operation and two counts of driving under suspension.

They say he drove his SUV into fencing, and then the rear of the house.

Sheriff Gene Kelly says Doak told deputies he was recently served with foreclosure papers. Authorities have shut off the house’s utilities for safety reasons.

Doak has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

New Carlisle is some 50 miles west of Columbus.
