BUCYRUS—Jacob D. Davidson, 38, of Centerburg, made his initial appearance at the Crawford County Municipal Court. Davidson appeared via video from the Crawford County Jail.
Davidson is currently charged with one count of felonious assault, a felony of the second degree punishable with up to 11 years in prison.
Davidson was apprehended Friday in Bucyrus, Davidson’s vehicle reportedly fled northbound from the Morrow County area, and there was at least one person injured during that incident.
Officers attempted to conduct a felony stop in the 200 block of W. Charles St. Before officers could get in position, Davidson allegedly opened fire on Officers.
One Officer was then able to get out of his cruiser and return fire. A singular round struck the Davidson in his helmet, causing him to take cover in his front seat and quickly surrender to officers. Davidson was taken into custody and transported to the Crawford County Justice Center without further incident.
Crawford County Municipal Court Judge Shane Leuthold set bond at two million dollars. Davidson remains in jail.
