Indictments were handed down Wednesday on three high-profile cases in Custar, Pemberville and
Luckey.Thomas J. Boyer, 53, Custar, was indicted for one count of attempted murder and one count of
felonious assault in the Nov. 20 shooting of William Morris, 42, Rutland.Boyer allegedly shot Morris once in
the back with a shotgun outside of Boyer’s residence on Defiance Pike. Morris was working as a subcontractor
for a company ultimately engaged by OneWest Bank, which had foreclosed on Boyer’s residence in September.
The home is to be sold at a sheriff’s sale in January.Morris was taken to University of Toledo Medical
Center for treatment.Christopher Zimmerman, 64, Pemberville, was indicted on two counts of endangering
children.The charges stem from the Sept. 8 shooting death of a dog belonging to the children’s family, which
lived next door to Zimmerman in the 100 block of East College Avenue. Zimmerman, who reportedly shot the dog
with a .45 caliber Desert Eagle handgun after it ran onto his property, claimed the dog appeared it was
going to attack him.The indictment alleges that while having a firearm in his possession, Zimmerman did
"torture or cruelly abuse" two of the children, ages 7 and 9.Jack VanCamp, 39, Luckey, was
indicted on one count of illegal manufacture of drugs and one count of illegal assembly of chemicals for the
manufacture of drugs.The charges stem from an ongoing Methamphetamine investigation. On Monday, the Wood
County Special Response Team, assisted by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and
Luckey Police, executed a search warrant at VanCamp’s residence in the 200 block of Adams Street. Evidence
of the manufacture of meth was reportedly found in the search.VanCamp is reportedly still at-large and was
previously wanted on a Wood County warrant for drug abuse.
