Suspect In Deadly Hit And Run Of Mentor Officer In Court

(Mentor) - A suspect in a deadly hit and run crash of a Mentor police officer early Sunday was in court Monday morning.  

Twenty-four year old Brian Anthony, of Kirtland, is accused of striking 41-year old Mentor police officer Mathew Mazany early Sunday morning on Route-2 Eastbound near Route-306 while Officer Mazany assisted a fellow officer during a traffic stop.  

Police say Anthony fled the scene shortly after the incident around 1am Sunday.  Anthony later surrendered to Mentor Police after his Jeep Wrangler was found smashed into a gate at the Mentor Lagoons Marina.  

Anthony surrendered to officers there around 9am Sunday.  He pleaded not guilty Monday in Mentor Municipal Court to leaving the scene of an accident and tampering with evidence, both felonies.  Bond was denied.  

Officer Mazany leaves behind a son.  Officer Mazany was a Mentor police officer for 14 years and is the second Mentor officer to die in the line of duty since 1927.
