Grand jury indicts suspect believed shot by officer
DAYTON — A New Lebanon man believed to have been shot by an off-duty Englewood police officer has been indicted on several felony counts.
A Montgomery County grand jury on Tuesday, May 19, indiced Sean T. Rich, 31, on five counts of aggravated robbery, plus single counts of felonious assault and tampering with evidence. All but the tampering charge include firearms specifications, which would add an automatic three years to any prison sentence.
Police believe Officer Richard “Chip” Ridgway shot Rich on May 6 after he entered Ridgway Prescriptions, 3101 E. Third St., about 1:30 p.m. and demanded Oxycontin, police said.
Ridgway was off duty, working at the pharmacy owned by his family. Ridgway walked in after taking out the trash, when Rich fired and Ridgway fired back. Ridgway then chased Rich, according to Dayton police.
Rich showed up at an area hospital shortly after the incident with a gunshot wound to the neck. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, notified by the hospital that a gunshot victim had arrived, determined the victim could be involved in the robbery attempt, police said.
Detectives later found evidence at Rich’s residence related to the attempted robbery, police said.

Hey lou don’t you read your own paper. A story By Kyle Nagel DAYTON — Sean T. Rich, the man police say attempted to rob an east Dayton pharmacy and was apparently shot by an off-duty Englewood police officer as he ran away, was released to home detention after a court appearance Tuesday, May 12. Why did you refuse to report that Rich tried to kill a man by firing a shot at him during a robbery and judge michael tucker released him to go back home?By kcuf the police
