OSU football players arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia
This isn’t Dayton-area crime, but since we are all Ohio State fans:
COLUMBUS - Two Ohio State University freshman football players will be in court this week to face a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Mike Adams, 18, and J.B. Shugarts were issued citations on Jan. 14 after the car they were in ran a stop sign near campus, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
It is unclear what drug paraphernalia was found in the car. The two were not arrested, the newspaper reported.
Both offensive lineman have pleaded not guilty. Adams has a pre-trial hearing Monday, March 2, while Shugarts will appear in Franklin County Municipal Court on Wednesday.
TweetMan wanted to have sex with cousin before beating her with VCR
DAYTON - A 51-year-old woman’s condition has been upgraded to stable after she beaten in the head with a VCR by a cousin Saturday, Feb. 28, days after the suspect was released from prison.
Police said the woman was beaten by Percy S. Cochran, 28 and a convicted felon, at about 2 a.m. on Saturday before Cochran broke into the homes of two other relatives.
Investigators said Cochran intended to have sex with his cousin, but when she refused, he choked her and then beat her with the VCR. The woman, whose name has not been released, suffered severe brain injuries but was talking, according to police.
Detectives later found Cochran inside a book store in the Oregon District on East Fifth Street at about 7:45 p.m., Lt. Brian Johns said.
After the assault, Cochran broke into a residence on West Second Street followed by a second break-in on Shoup Avenue, Johns said.
Cochran stole several handguns during the break-ins, along with two cars he later abandoned in Dayton neighborhoods, Johns said.
A background check found Cochran was just released from prison on Feb. 25 after a 2006 conviction for burglary and harassing an inmate, according to court records.
Cochran has been arrested 19 times in Montgomery County since 1999 for charges ranging from theft and felonious assault to drug abuse and gross sexual imposition, according to jail records.
TweetStakeout leads to bust of copper-theft ring
DAYTON - Patience by undercover Dayton metal theft detectives led to the arrest of two men believed to be involved in a copper-theft ring.
Detectives Jamie Bullens and Jennifer Godsey were staked out at the AT&T offices about midnight on Friday, Feb. 27, at 4337 Interpoint Blvd. when they noticed two men going inside the fenced-in area, according to a police report.
As the detectives radioed for backup, the two men, James C. Hatcher, 24, and Matthew Nussman, 23, were spotted by detectives taking insulated-copper wire by crawling underneath a fence to an SUV in a nearby parking lot, the report stated.
Nussman and Hatcher had taken about $2,500 worth of copper and used power tools they hooked up to power sources outside the building to cut pieces of the copper wiring from large spools, according to police.
Police said they believe the duo is the same that has burglarized the AT&T offices five straight weekends. Nussman and Hatcher have been there so many times, police said, they wore a path up to the fenced-in area where they could gain entry.
Nussman is still in jail on felony charges of breaking and entering and possessing criminal tools, while Hatcher posted bail with the same charges, according to jail records. Police said more charges could be filed.
