Columbus police Detective Demetris A. Ortega, 50, was indicted Wednesday by a Franklin County grand jury on charges stemming from fatal-hit-skip crash
status, — which is essentially a paid suspension — following the crash, which occurred while he was off-duty. The Dispatch left a message Wednesday night with a division spokeswoman seeking an update on Ortega's employment status following the indictment.
The case was presented to the Franklin County grand jury, whose members heard testimony that detectives investigating the fatal crash were unable to locate witnesses, video or physical evidence that would help to conclusively identify Abdirahman’s location as she crossed the street. Police have said that after the man, later identified as Ortega, got out of the car, the female driver continued eastbound on Morse Road before turning around to pick up the male passenger so the the pair could leave the scene.
Ortega is scheduled to appear in court on May 10 for an arraignment, according to Franklin County Common Pleas Court records.
