CAMPBELL, Ohio - The driver who was accused of pulling in front of motorcyclists taking part in a charity ride in Coitsville has been convicted of a less serious violation.

According to Campbell Municipal Court records, 65-year-old Gloria Dothard of Lowellville pled "no contest" late last week to an amended charge of having a broken tail light. A visiting judge found Dothard "guilty" and fined her $100.

The prosecutor has asked the judge to throw out the plea.  A hearing has yet to be scheduled on the prosecution's motion.

Dothard was originally charged with failure to yield after State Troopers said she drove her SUV into the path of two oncoming motorcycles on Route 616 as Dothard was pulling into a private drive in Coitsville on June 25.

According to the patrol, two motorcyclists veered off the road to avoid hitting the SUV, crashing on the side of the road.

One of the bikers, 56-year-old Paul Halfelder of Youngstown, was taken to Mercy Hospital with serious injuries.

Another motorcyclist, 55-year-old Harold Hagerty, and his passenger, Patricia Hagerty, 56, both of Youngstown, were also hospitalized with serious injuries.

The two motorcycles were participating in a ride in memory of Teddy Foltz who was murdered by his mother’s boyfriend in 2013.
