Pedestrian hit
A Portland man drove over a pedestrian laying in his driveway on Franklin Street about 3:49 a.m. Monday.
Bryan Jellison, 34, told police he started to pull his 2006 Chevrolet Silverado forward outside his home at 1224 N. Franklin St. when he thought he drove over something or had a flat tire, according to a report from Portland police. Jellison backed up and got out of his truck and noticed a man — 26-year-old Bret A. Trissel of Portland — laying in his driveway.
Trissel appeared to be suffering from a medical condition — emergency personnel suspected an opioid overdose — and had been laying in front of the vehicle before Jellison began to drive it. He sustained a lower arm injury, according to the report, and was flown to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne.
Damage is estimated at less than $1,000.
