SENECA COUNTY, Ohio — The Seneca County Sheriff's Office has arrested a suspect, indicted on felony charges for a hit-and-run incident that resulted in a pedestrian being killed in November.
The crash occurred on Ohio 53 near milepost 15, in Seneca County's Pleasant Township around 8:30 p.m. on November 16.
