An even dozen people were in Crawford County Common Pleas Court on Monday for arraignments on felony charges and indictments. Included in that number were a woman charged with stealing from the Bucyrus Elementary PTO and the man charged with fleeing from Bucyrus police on a motorcycle.

Renee` Stratton is charged with fourth-degree felony theft. The amount alleged to be missing from the Bucyrus PTO is less than $10,000. Judge Sean Leuthold agreed to a personal recognizance bond.

Jacob Thompson is charged with third-degree failure to comply and could be sentenced to as long as 36 months in prison if found guilty of the charge. The judge set Thompson’s bond at $150,000.

Chase Grogan was formally sentenced after a pre-sentence investigation following his guilty pleas to one count of felony 5 theft and three counts of felony 5 forgery.

“I’m not real confident you’re going to be able to stay on community control,” the judge told Grogan and then took note of the defendant’s tattoos which read “peace, love and strength.”

“It doesn’t look like you’re able to do any of those things.”

The judge then sentenced Grogan to five years of community control with mandatory drug and alcohol treatment. Grogan must also pay restitution in the amount of $1,548.75.
