Man who led chase put on probation
Lorain man Joseph Hengst, 33, was sentenced in Lorain County Common Pleas Court to 30 months probation after pleading guilty to failure to comply and intimidation. He faced a potential six-year prison term if he violates probation or commits new felonies. Authorities noted his mental health as a substantial factor as he threatened police during a March 2 incident at Lorain Fire Station 7 and fled, then returned. He remains free on bond in Cuyahoga County for a separate drug possession case pending a mental health evaluation.
