The Ross County Grand Jury returned 23 of their 24 cases Friday, with three open.
In one, video shows a local man was attacked by a worker from Indiana.
According to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office, on July 24th, a man entered the restroom of Patrick's Pub at the Quality Inn off Bridge Street, when he said another man entered and attacked him, causing a lacerated lip and broken tooth.
Surveillance video was used to identify 33-year-old Russel Wishin of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who was with a crew working on the IHOP and staying at the hotel. Wishin was finally picked up October 2nd, and crewmates could not explain why he allegedly attacked the victim.
Because of the broken tooth, the indictment is for a second degree felonious assault. Wishin could get up to eight years and $15,000 in fines.
