Grand jury indicts man for flight from cops

Staff report

CLEVELAND

A federal grand jury indicted Charles S. Hill of Alliance on three charges related to his flight from police officers trying to arrest him in March in Warren.

Hill, 36, now faces two charges relating to his use of a motor vehicle as a dangerous weapon to assault and resist officers assigned to the U.S. Marshals Task Force, according to the office of Steven M. Dettelbach, United States attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.

The third charge involves resisting arrest.

Hill will be arraigned at 9:45 a.m. May 11 in federal court in Cleveland before Judge Patricia A. Gaughan.

Hill also was bound over to a Trumbull County grand jury on similar charges early last month.

The task force had been looking for Hill for about 10 days on an arrest warrant out of West Virginia for theft when they located him in the Warren Plaza on March 23.

Hill reportedly tried to run over two agents in the plaza parking lot, then fled north into Bazetta Township, where he eluded capture until later in the day when authorities found him in a Liberty motel room.
