September has been a busy month for the office of County Prosecutor Matt Crall, which in turn meant a busy arraignment day in Common Pleas Court. Twenty-six people were arraigned on Monday after the Grand Jury returned a total of 36 indictments.
“As we continue to fight illegal drugs, it is clear that Crawford County is not the place to traffic or use drugs,” Crall said. “Laws have consequences and will be strictly enforced.”
In addition, two people entered pleas to bills of information and did not take their cases before the Grand Jury.
Judge Sean Leuthold set bond at $1 million each for Cody Moyer who is charged with burglary, drug possession and drug trafficking; Keelie Moyer who is charged with drug trafficking and drug possession; Brandon Johnson Jr. who is charged with burglary and drug trafficking; and Mikel Knetter II who is charged with aggravated robbery.
The Moyers and Johnson were arrested earlier this month as a result of a drug bust in Galion.
