An Ottawa Hills police officer has been indicted by the Lucas County grand jury for his role in a shooting incident May 23.
A grand jury indicted Officer Thomas White on a charge of felonious assault with a firearm.
In the early morning hours of May 23, Ottawa Hills officers were chasing two people on motorcycles near Indian and Central.
