Limming was found guilty of assault, tampering with evidence and hunting without a deer permit.
News Center 7 previously reported that an indictment stated Limming possessed a loaded 20-gauge shotgun on Dec. 20, 2020. That was the day an officer with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was shot while investigating illegal deer hunting near Martinsville, Ohio.
