Post by Harry HopeAn indictment against Henry County Commissioner Steven A. Baden was
filed yesterday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court for an incident in
January involving a 14-year-old girl.
Mr. Baden, 39, of Hamler, Ohio, was indicted on one count of menacing
by stalking, a fourth-degree felony that carries a maximum possible
sentence of 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine upon conviction.
He is accused of following a girl who was walking in her South Toledo
neighborhood on the afternoon of Jan. 31.
Authorities said he drove up to her, got out of his vehicle, and
called, "Come here, little girl," before chasing her for a short time
on foot.
The grand jury, which was presented with evidence in the case on
Thursday afternoon, also was asked to indict Mr. Baden on a charge of
attempt to commit abduction.
But the panel didn't return an indictment.
Mr. Baden, a Republican, is a former Hamler mayor.
