BUCYRUS — Corey Musselman of Bucyrus was sentenced on two separate felony charges in Crawford County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday.

Musselman, 21, pleaded guilty to one count possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 18 months in prison and two counts on another charge, tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony, punishable with up to 36 months in prison and possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 12 months in prison.

In an agreed-upon sentence recommendation, Musselman received 12 months on the tampering with evidence, and nine months on each charge of possession of drugs for a total of 30 months in prison. He will receive credit for jail time served.

In other action, Randall Battles, 25, of Tiro pleaded guilty to one count of improper handling of a firearm, a fourth-degree felony punishable with up to 18 months in prison and one count of having weapons under disability, a third-degree felony punishable with up to 36 months in prison.

In an agreed-upon sentence recommendation, Common Pleas Judge Sean Leuthold sentenced Battles to five years of community control.

“You have 54 months of prison hanging over your heard. Felony probation in Crawford County is no joke,” Leuthold said. “If you violate the terms and conditions of your community control, I will put you in prison.”

Battles was ordered to forfeit the firearm to the Crestline Police Department.

Aaron Mitchell, 20, of Bucyrus appeared to answer to charges that he violated the conditions of his community control. Mitchell was placed on community control upon judicial release in 2017.

According to probation officer Eric Bohach, Mitchell received an OMVI charge, acted in a disorderly manner, took a urine test and tested positive for THC and was in the company of a felon. All violations allegedly occurred on May 11, 2019 according to Bohach.

“May 11 was a bad day wasn’t it? There is certainly probable cause to set this matter for a hearing,” Leuthold said.

Leuthold asked assistant prosecutor Ryan Hoovler his recommendation for bond. Hoovler noted that Mitchell had already had one violation of his probation and was allowed to remain on community control.

“This was a judicial release case with an underlying four-year sentence. To protect him and the public from his alcohol and drug use the state would ask for bond in the amount of $100,000,” Hoovler said.

Leuthold agreed and set bond at $100,000 and appointed attorney Andrew Motter to represent Mitchell.

Paulette Clay, 50, of Marion was also in court to answer to allegations she violated the terms and conditions of her community control. Clay was placed on community control in April after she pleaded guilty to throwing a bodily substance on a corrections officer in the jail, a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 12 months in prison.

According to her supervising officer, Mark Wurm, Clay was in possession of cocaine on May 1 and May 3, 2019. She tested positive for cocaine on May 1 as well as benzodiazepines. On May 3, and May 9 she tested positive for alcohol and possessed alcohol all in Marion County.

Leuthold found probable cause for a full hearing on the matter. Bond was set at $50,000. Attorney Tani Eyer was appointed to represent her.

Lisa Grochowalski, 41, of Galion was sentenced to 24 months in prison after she pleaded guilty to one count of possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 12 months in prison and one count of criminal non-support, also a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 12 months in prison. Grochowalski may be eligible for judicial release in the future.

“Look, if I let you out early, you have got to change,” Leuthold said. “You’re 41 years old and you’re too old for this stuff. You need to pay your child support.”

Grochowalski was ordered to forfeit all drug-related property to the Galion Police Department.

Christina Ray, 48, of Crestline pleaded guilty to violating the terms and conditions of her community control. Ray was placed on community control in 2016 after pleading guilty to possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 12 months in prison.

According to Ray’s supervising officer, Mark Alspach, Ray was arrested in Ontario after an overdose on April 12. Ray did not report the arrest to Alspach and admitted to using heroin.

Leuthold sentenced Ray to 12 months in prison but did not rule out a possible judicial release.

“This behavior has got to stop. You’re 48 years old, you’re too old for this stuff,” Leuthold said.
