Why do we continue to let these people drive?
Clearly they are getting these licenses from Blacks who work at the BMV without passing the proper tests.
Thomas Stidhum, wanted in connection with the Dec. 6 hit-skip death of runner Cathy Chatfield, 57, was arrested Friday.
Stidhum, 24, was arrested about 10:40 a.m., just two days after he was identified as a suspect in the crash that killed Chatfield while she was participating in the Seven Hills Run.
During his arrest, Stidhum was struck twice with a Taser and sustained several lacerations to his face and head after he attempted to escape through a window from a home at 1855 Lawn Ave. in Bond Hill, according to Cincinnati police.
Police said Stidhum was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to treat his injuries, and will later be taken to the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Chatfield had just began climbing the second hill on Dorchester Avenue during the 38th annual Seven Hills Run when a Chrysler 300 jumped the curb and struck her on the sidewalk around 9 a.m.
Chatfield, who ran with House of Run N Tri in Columbia Tusculum, was one of the first to take off from the starting line that day.
At least four people called 911 and reported the driver, who police said was in his 20s, was fleeing the scene.
“Please hurry, she’s really hurt,” one caller told police dispatchers. “She’s unconscious lying on the ground.”
Chatfield was taken to the UC Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
“I didn’t think something like that could happen,” Chatfield’s running coach, Joe Fung, said in an Enquirer interview last month. “It makes you angry and sad and you just want to do something, but really there’s nothing to do except to remember and think about each other.”
Friends said the tragedy was harder to bear because the driver didn’t stop to help. Instead, after hitting Chatfield, witnesses reported the driver ripping the license plates off the car and running away.
On Friday, the Facebook page for House of Run N Tri proclaimed, “The start of justice for Cathy Chatfield!!! Thank you Cincinnati Police!!!”
Fung said Chatfield’s friends are very happy with arrest.
“But we all realize, it’s just a start,” Fung said. “Everybody that’s connected with her and knows her are keeping her memory alive.”
