A Husband's Legacy of Love and Service | Toledo News

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Rittman police Sergeant Scott Ries was killed in the line of duty during a violent domestic dispute that also took two civilian lives and wounded several officers. His wife, Michelle, recalls Scott not just as a hero in uniform, but as a devoted father, loving husband, and gentle peacemaker who coached his daughters’ softball games and dreamed of retirement with her. Learning of his death at the hospital—where she once worked as a nurse—was devastating, but the community’s outpouring of support through fundraisers, cards, and messages has been a lifeline. Even the K-9 officer, Vick, injured in the incident, has recovered. Scott’s legacy of service and love endures, honored by family, friends, and a community that stands with them.
