Ohio man arrested after being carried from foreclosed home

Toledo Blade

STONY RIDGE, Ohio - Wood County sheriff's deputies arrested a Stony Ridge man Friday morning who has been holed up inside his foreclosed residence in an attempt to resist eviction.

Authorities carried Keith Sadler from his U.S. 20 home without incident as many protesters watched from the front of the structure. He was carried by his hands and feet and then placed into a Wood County sheriff's vehicle.

Mr. Sadler was being transported to the Wood County jail and protesters were following him there shortly after 8 a.m. Friday.

Lance Crandall, a spokesman for the Toledo Foreclosure Defense League, said about 4-5 protesters were arrested earlier at the scene. A live stream set up by Mr. Sadler shows several members of a SWAT team first arriving at the house at 3:28 a.m. Friday.
