Two men involved in a fatal shooting involving Perrysburg Township police have been sentenced.
Anthony Scarrow, 34, Toledo, had been indicted for possessing criminal tools and forgery. After a failure
to appear for one of his court appearances, he later was indicted on a failure to appear charge. He
plead guilty to all three charges.
On Feb. 24, he was sentenced in the courtroom of Wood County Common Pleas Judge Molly Mack to 12 months
for the possession charge and 12 months for the forgery charge. He received 17 months for failing to
appear.
The sentences will be served concurrently at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in
Orient.
Co-defendant Harold Geiger, 30, Pembroke, Georgia, also was sentenced Feb. 24 for his role in the
incident.
He was indicted on possession criminal tools, forgery and two counts tampering with evidence. The first
two charges were dismissed at sentencing, which was three years community control as long as he pay
court costs.
The men were suspects in a case which resulted in the death of another man who was shot and killed by
Perrysburg Township officers. That incident occurred Aug. 27, 2018 and led to the resignation of the
Perrysburg police chief, who was criticized for pulling his officers away from the scene.
It began with a traffic stop on Ohio 795 by a township police officer. As police asked the driver,
Geiger, to step out of the vehicle, one of the passengers locked the doors and fled in the vehicle.
During that time, Scarrow bailed from the vehicle and began to flee on foot.
The driver, 25-year-old Trent Harper, crashed the vehicle and then opened fire on officers. He was
fatally shot.
