BUCYRUS — Four defendants charged with various crimes appeared in Crawford County Common Pleas Court on Monday for arraignment.

Robert Skaggs, formerly of Bucyrus and currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee was indicted on an amended charge in Common Pleas Court. An original charge of trafficking and possession of drugs was amended to possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony punishable with up to 12 months in prison.

Magistrate Tim Roston asked Skaggs, 44, if he should have concern about whether he would appear at future proceeding. Skaggs told the court he has been in Bucyrus since the incident as his car was taken in the arrest.

“I’m not really sure what’s going on,” Skaggs said.

Roston told Skaggs it was best for him to discuss his case with his attorney. Roston continued the $100,000 bond Skaggs posted at his arrest. Attorney Brad Starkey was appointed to represent Skaggs.

Madison McKenzie, 22, of Crestline was indicted on one count of counterfeiting, a fourth-degree felony punishable with up to 18 months in prison. Roston gave McKenzie a personal recognizance bond and Tani Eyer was appointed to represent McKenzie.

Christopher Stoney, 33, of Bucyrus was taken into custody after his arraignment in Common Pleas Court.

Stoney is charged with intimidation, a third-degree felony punishable with up to 36 months in prison. Stoney was charged with OVI and making threats toward the arresting officer and his family.

According to prosecutor Matt Crall, Stoney told the officer, “I am going to murder you and your entire family.”

When asked what he had to say regarding bond, Stoney told the court he had no memory of the threat. He said he was ticketed, booked and released to the custody of his sister.

“These are very serious allegations and we take them very seriously,” Roston said. Roston set bond at $50,000 and ordered Stoney taken into custody.

Zachary Bishop, 29, of Bucyrus was charged with violating the terms and conditions of his community control. In September 2017, Bishop was sentenced to 36 months prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of intimidation, a third-degree felony. In October this year, he was granted judicial release.

According to allegations, Bishop tested positive for alcohol on November 14 and positive for hydrocodone following a urinalysis.

“You were given a chance and then you violated and went to prison, then you were given another chance and here we are again,” Roston said. If you want out of jail, you’re going to have to post a bond.”

Bond was set at $75,000 and Andrew Motter was appointed to represent Bishop.
