On Friday, the Ross County Grand Jury returned 18 of their 19 cases, with only three open.
.
In one, they dealt with the threat of firearms returning to an address on Church Street.
According to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office, on October 26th a Chillicothe police officer responded to an altercation at 447 Church Street.
The roommate of 40-year-old Luke W. Jackson-Cockerill said Luke had returned home intoxicated and belligerent, and after trying to calm him and get him to go inside, Luke threatened to shoot him, and ran inside.
Luke had been convicted of unlawful possession of dangerous ordinance after a standoff July 2017, where a negotiator had to be called in to the same address where he had barricaded himself upstairs with several firearms.
Since that did not put him under weapons disability, he was indicted for aggravated menacing in the recent incident. He could get up to six months and $1,000 in fines.
.
In another, the Ross County Grand Jury dealt with a short high speed chase.
According to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office, at 12:45 am September 15th, a Chillicothe police officer was checking businesses on East Main Street when he saw a man in a car at the Speedway Gas Station duck his head, then exit quickly, leaving the car running. After contacting the man and returning him to the car, the officer saw a baggie of crystals on the floorboard.
But after being given his rights, the man sped off past customers, and almost hit several buildings until crashing into a curb on Theater Street at a high rate of speed. He then fled on foot but was captured.
43-year-old Anthony L. Dale of Heather Moore Trail was indicted for failure to comply.
He was also indicted for aggravated possession of drugs when he had crystal meth on him, when recognized in Wal-Mart August 8th and was arrested for a previous warrant.
In total, Dale could get up to four years and $12,500 in fines.
