Randy Chabot told officers that he worked in the building and had been inside, according to the police report. He was described by police as intoxicated. Officers reportedly found two window panes kicked out and marks they said matched Chabot’s shoes.
Chabot was charged with breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony, and making false alarms, a first-degree misdemeanor. At the police station, he told authorities he likely was confused about where he was at the time of the incident, according to the report.
Steve Chabot, who has represented the 1st District (Butler and Hamilton counties) for 15 years, issued this statement: “Every family faces challenges at times. Ours is no different. He’s our son and we love him.”
Randy Chabot’s next court appearance in Butler County Area I Court is March 22.
