A Lucas County grand jury Wednesday indicted the parents of a local murder victim after a recent shooting incident.
John Clarke, 45, of 428 Danberry St. was indicted for felonious assault with a firearm specification, a second-degree felony that carries a prison sentence of up to eight years, for allegedly firing two shots at Tiffany Williams, 28, of Toledo Dec. 26 in an alley in the 1300 block of Colburn Avenue.
His wife, Maytee Vazquez-Clarke, 44, was indicted for obstructing justice, a third-degree felony punishable by up to three years in prison. She allegedly told police officers who came to their home after the incident no one else was home, although police later found John Clarke there.
The couple’s son, Johnny Clarke, 21, and his girlfriend, Lisa Straub, 20, were killed Jan. 31, 2011, at Ms. Straub’s parents’ home in Springfield Township.
