Man who threw rocks at cars gets 8 years

10/7/2004

BOWLING GREEN - A former Toledo man was sentenced to eight years in prison for throwing rocks at vehicles near State Rt. 25 and I-475 in Perrysburg last December.

Willie James Hardin, 37, pleaded guilty to seven counts of felonious assault Tuesday in Wood County Common Pleas Court.

In May, Wood County Common Pleas Judge Alan Mayberry found Hardin competent to stand trial in the case, which stemmed from a Dec. 18 incident in which seven cars were struck by large rocks or chunks of concrete.
