A Toledo man has been indicted for delaying train traffic after driving onto the tracks.
A Wood County grand jury on Dec. 20 indicted Manuel Jose Guillen, 44, for interference with the operation of a train, a fourth-degree felony; vandalism, a fifth-degree felony; and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse of combination of them (OVI), a first-degree misdemeanor.
On Dec. 10, law enforcement found a 2016 GMC Yukon stuck on the Norfolk Southern mainline railroad tracks in Northwood. Guillen was actively trying to drive the vehicle off the tracks, according to court documents.
He had driven the vehicle approximately half a mile on the tracks, starting at Oakdale Street in Toledo. The vehicle had struck switch heaters mounted on the tracks, causing an estimated damage of $1,000.
All train traffic was stopped until the vehicle could be removed from the tracks.
Guillen’s speech was slurred, and he had poor balance. He was transported to the Northwood Police Department where he refused to take a sobriety test.
