On Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 9:33 p.m., the Hillsboro Police Department charged Patricia Gibbs, 38, of Hillsboro with obstructing official business, a misdemeanor of the second degree, after making numerous calls to the Hillsboro Police Department without a valid purpose to do so.

Upon investigation, it was determined that a 2011 Kia operated by William L. Barker, 64, of Hillsboro had stopped in traffic while eastbound. A 1996 Ford operated by Dona L. Oppy, 28, of Greenfield struck the rear of the Barker vehicle. No injuries were reported. Oppy was cited for failing to maintain an assured clear distance ahead.

At approximately 6:42 p.m., the Hillsboro Police Department dispatcher advised officers that the Hillsboro Fire Department's life squad was en route to a residence in the 400 block of North High St., in reference to a subject that was not breathing.
