Assistant Prosecutor Nicole Derr presented the case in court. The case was investigated by Ptl. Patience Weiser and Det. J.T. DeChant. The Knox County Prosecutor’s Office also recognizes the special investigative assistance of the Hilliard Police Department in identifying Mr. Spomer.
Spomer will be sentenced in the coming weeks.
