A Harrod man was sent to prison for two years for his part in the death of a teenage girl.
According to court records, on Dec. 17, 2006, Thomas Ray Risner was driving his 1998 Dodge westbound on County Road 110 at a high rate of speed. When he ran the stop sign at Ohio 235, the vehicle was traveling at an estimated speed of 102 mph.
When the Risner vehicle struck the state route, it “launched the vehicle airborne.” When it landed on the other side of the highway, Risner lost control and rolled the car, causing passenger Chelsea Ratliff, 18, to be ejected.
