Ohio man badly beaten in dispute for 75 cents dies

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police say a northwest Ohio man who was badly injured in a dispute over 75 cents has died.

The Blade in Toledo reports that 53-year-old Joseph Meyers had been at a hospital since Saturday’s attack at a Toledo shelter for the homeless. He was pronounced dead Wednesday.

Police say the suspect, 49-year-old Houston Hart, was arrested at the scene and remains in a county jail facing felonious-assault charges. Police say they expect murder charges to be presented to a grand jury in the near future.

A municipal judge has set a $100,000 cash-only bond.

Police say both men stayed at the Toledo Gospel Rescue Mission.
