Parking Lot Altercation Leads to Three Arrests
Jan 11 2024
On January 11, 2024, at approximately 2:53 P.M., an Allen County Sheriff's Department Officer working at Wayne High School was alerted about a confrontation in the parking lot.
On January 10, 2024, at approximately 11:18 A.M., officers with the Allen County Sheriff’s Department’s Warrants & Fugitive Division, were conducting surveillance at 4919 Lima Road, when they observed a suspicious van enter the parking lot. The occupants of the van were seen coming and going from the van and officers attempted to speak with them. The driver of the van tried to back out of a parking spot and struck a police vehicle. He then drove forward to evade officers, striking an unoccupied parked vehicle, then the building. Officers were able to get the driver, passenger and third occupant out of the van and detained them.
The initial investigation revealed the van the suspects were in was stolen. The driver, Andrew Dickerman, had an active arrest warrant for violation of Parole. Dickerson was also charged with resisting law enforcement and criminal recklessness. The passenger, Danielle Hoagland, had an active arrest warrant for violation of Probation. Hoagland was also charged with resisting law enforcement and false informing. The third person in the vehicle was an adult, who is actively on Parole, but was not arrested.
Nobody was injured in the series of collisions.
Dickerman and Hoagland were transported to Allen County Lockup.
