TOLEDO, Ohio — A man accused of walking into a downtown Toledo restaurant and attempting to shoot someone was indicted Monday by a Lucas County grand jury.
Matthew Exton, 42, was indicted on one count of attempted murder, a felony of the first degree, and three counts of felonious assault, all second-degree felonies. All charges also have firearm specifications.
