Man Shot By Columbus Teens Sues OHP

The Virginia man shot in 2013 by Columbus teen murder suspects at a Madison County truck stop after a highway patrol trooper dropped the teens off is suing the agency for negligence. William Rudd is also suing the trooper and a dispatcher in Ohio's Court of Claims. The trooper picked up the teens - sought and later convicted in a store clerk's slaying - when their car ran out of gas. Rudd alleges the trooper's failure to check for weapons and the dispatcher's failure to communicate the teens were wanted resulted in his shooting. The defendants have declined comment.
