An Oregon man was found guilty Tuesday of charges related to the death of his girlfriend, who was found dead on an East Toledo street after being run over by a car.
Brent Peace, 39, of 2003 Autokee St., pleaded no contest in Lucas County Common Pleas Court to one count each of aggravated vehicular homicide, tampering with evidence, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. He faces up to 11 years in prison when sentenced Oct. 31 by Judge Stacy Cook.
Per the negotiated plea agreement, charges of murder and felonious assault will be dismissed at sentencing.
Holly Zimmer, 31, was found dead just before 2 a.m. on Feb. 13 in the 2200 block of Consaul Street. She had been run over by a vehicle and suffered multiple blunt-force injuries.
Authorities said that she and Peace had been seen at local bars earlier that night and that the two began arguing.
No one witnessed the incident.
