Illinois driver was stopped for speeding on the Ohio Turnpike and then charged with attempted murder

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says an Illinois driver was stopped for speeding on the Ohio Turnpike and then charged with attempted murder after a trooper noticed signs of violence. Troopers say 57-year-old Susan Howard of Peoria and a passenger were taken to a hospital with undisclosed injuries after the traffic stop Saturday morning in Sandusky County. The patrol says the arrest stemmed from an earlier, unspecified “incident” further south near London, Ohio. Troopers didn’t provide details about the attempted murder allegation, but say the case remains under investigation. Howard has since been jailed in Fremont.
