A Huber Heights man accused of hitting a man with a vehicle in Riverside over the summer faces up to a dozen years in prison.

William Jack Morris pleaded no contest Wednesday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to felonious assault and was found guilty by Judge Dennis Adkins.

A person who enters a no contest plea does not admit guilty but does admit the truth of the facts alleged in the indictment, according to the Ohio State Bar Association.

Morris is accused of striking a man with a vehicle on July 25, causing the other man to be hospitalized with broken bones, according to an affidavit filed in Montgomery County Municipal Court - Eastern Division based in Huber Heights.
