Burglary was the name of the judicial game in Crawford County Common Pleas Court Monday. Of the eight people arraigned in the morning session, four were brought up on some type of burglary charge.
Kaylee Clark, Brianna Thoman, and Tahshawn Jones are co-defendants in a case involving alleged aggravated burglary. All three are facing one count of the first-degree felony and were given $250,000 bonds.
The alleged incident occurred at 509 Failor St. in Bucyrus on Feb. 18. According to Bucyrus police reports, a resident of the 500 block of Failor Street reported a burglary and was assaulted by subjects known to him. Though the subjects fled on foot, police were able to arrest one of the involved parties while another one went to the hospital with an injury.
The first-degree aggravated burglary carries a maximum penalty of 11 years in prison.
Wesley Efaw was charged with attempted burglary, a fourth-degree felony, in an unrelated incident that occurred at a Rogers Street home. His bond was set at $100,000.
Those arraigned Monday, the charges against them, and bonds set are: Bryan Alfrey, F4 assault, M2 resisting arrest, M4 disorderly conduct ($25,000); Skyler Sohper, F5 theft ($50,000); Kaylee Clark, F1 aggravated burglary ($250,000); Anthony Ross, F5 drug possession, M4 drug paraphernalia, five counts of F5 drug trafficking ($500,000); Wesley Efaw, F4 attempted burglary ($100,000); Brianna Thoman, F1 aggravated burglary ($250,000); Tahshawn Jones, F1 aggravated burglary ($250,000); Kristie Clark, F5 drug possession, M1 drug possession ($500,000).
Two cases remain unserved and sealed.
In other court news, 24-year-old Christopher Meadows, of Belpre, Ohio, pleaded guilty to drug possession, a fifth-degree felony. Meadows, who was not prison eligible, was placed on community control for five years, fined $1,250, and was ordered to complete a drug and alcohol assessment along with any follow-up treatment.
Fifty-one-year-old Jill Lineweaver, of Beachwood, Ohio, appeared in court for an initial hearing on a diversion revocation. Lineweaver allegedly failed to report to her monthly office visits and failed to pay the costs of supervision, restitution, and court costs.
Lineweaver was placed on the court’s diversion program on Jan. 22, 2015 after entering a guilty plea for passing bad checks. Judge Sean Leuthold appointed Geoffrey Stoll as her attorney and ordered the matter to be set for a hearing.
