FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) – A Michigan man charged with causing a shooting that seriously injured an Ohio state soldier during a traffic stop will remain jailed without bail, a judge said on Friday.
Robert Tramaine Hathorn, 42, of Muskegon, is charged with aggravated theft with a deadly weapon. It is not known whether he retained the services of a lawyer.
Authorities said Private Josef Brobst stopped Hathorn’s car for speeding Wednesday night on Interstate 75 near Findlay, and Brobst asked Hathorn to get out of the vehicle because it smelled of marijuana. The pair were standing behind the patrol cruiser when they began to struggle for the soldier’s service weapon, authorities said, and Brobst was shot in the lower body.
Authorities did not say how the gun was fired or if Brobst unsheathed the gun or if it was still in its holster.
Hathorn left after the shooting and his car was found early Thursday behind a business. An intense manhunt soon ensued involving dozens of officers, and Hathorn was captured Thursday afternoon.
Brobst was hospitalized with serious injuries that were not considered life threatening, authorities said, while Hathorn was treated for an undisclosed injury.
