3 arrested for dropping rocks from overpass

ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP — Three adults were arrested Sunday for throwing rocks from the Route 84 overpass over Route 11, Ohio State Highway Patrol dispatcher Julius Petro said.

Drivers on Route 11 called the OHP Saybrook Post to report the rock-throwers, Petro said.

“They didn’t hit any cars that we know of,” Petro said.

Following tips from concerned drivers, OHP troopers captured the two men and one woman at 6:50 p.m., Petro said.

Their names won’t be released until their arraignments in Ashtabula Municipal Court.
