Photo of CLOSED: Wolf Spider?

Found indoors, has visible spikey hairs on legs with mild stripes.
Is brown, with spotted texture, seems to have a yellowish band down the center.
Eyes do not match the Hobo Spider pattern of 4 and 4.
Has 4 tiny eyes at the bottom then two larger above that
(and the other two seem to be higher above those).

If you think this poor fellow got crushed, you should see what
is left of the dollar store trash can I grabbed. Sorry I killed this
poor guy, just for being a spider that scared me late at night.

Please let me know what he or she is. I am guessing a Wolf Spider.
The Hobo Spider has two legs longer, but this had thicker legs all about the same length.
The body of the spider is about the size of a quarter or longer.
