BOLIVAR A 68-year-old man who fired repeatedly at law enforcement officers on Tuesday had not been acting right since his wife died in November, a neighbor told a Tuscarawas County sheriff s deputy.
The neighbor said there had been times when Donald Whiting drove recklessly up and down Russell Drive NW, and had sat in his vehicle at the home of another neighbor, a woman.
It was a complaint from that woman, who said Whiting had put into her mailbox an odd letter that made no sense, that started the chain of events that ended hours later after Whiting fled his home and crashed his truck about 10 miles away in Fairfield Township.
