Let's just say that Friday was a horrible day for a 20-year-old Jeremiah S. Egnor of Cleveland. First, he was involved in a traffic accident, which led to his arrest on a warrant. Then he was involved in a second wreck when a deputy crashed his cruiser while transporting inmates, which we reported about yesterday. Worse yet, that second wreck sent him to the hospital. The first accident happened around 5:45 p.m. Friday, when an area resident called the Huron County Sheriff's Office to report there was an accident at the intersection of Ohio 4 and U.S. 20 near Bellevue. The caller reported he "thought someone had been injured due to the windshield being broken on one of the vehicles," according to the report. Emergency crews responded to the scene. While at the scene, it was discovered that one of the subjects was wanted on an active warrant out of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office. Jeremiah S. Egnor was arrested on a probation violation from an underlying conviction involving dangerous drugs. He was taken to the Huron County Jail. Deputy Josh Querin later requested a report stemming from the discovery of drugs in connection with the accident. As a result, Egnor was charged with possession of a controlled substance. Shortly after 9 that evening, Deputy Shannon Lyons was transporting Egnor and another inmate to an unspecified location when his cruiser crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of U.S. 20 and Ohio 547 in the center of Monroeville. As a result of that accident, Egnor was transported to Fisher-Titus Medical Center by North Central EMS; he was treated and released. No one else reported injuries. Egnor remains in custody and is being held until he is released to Cuyahoga County authorities.
