BOLIVAR A suspect was wounded Tuesday following a standoff and police chase in the Bolivar area.
Sheriff Orvis Campbell said his office was asked at 10:20 a.m. to investigate a suspicious letter that was left in a mailbox.
A deputy responded to a home in the 1300 block of Russell Drive NW, Lawrence Township, to question a suspect. The deputy did not get an answer at the door. As the deputy walked back to his car, he heard a gunshot and saw where a bullet round had hit the ground in front of the house, Campbell said.
The deputy got into his car and retreated to a position of safety and called for back-up. Other deputies arrived, as well as Bolivar and Strasburg police. At that time, a person from the house came out, raised a long gun and fired at deputies.

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.
