Ross Grand Jury: Kidnapping and Felonious Assault, Fleeing in Stolen Truck

After being postponed from last Friday, the Ross County Grand Jury returned 17 of their 18 cases.

Only two were open.

In one, according to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office, on January 1st Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a 9-1-1 hangup on George Hollow Road, where 34-year-old Zane Roosa answered the door and said his three-year-old accidently dialed the phone.

But deputies observed blood on the carpet and on Roosa's foot, and found a woman hiding behind clothes in a bathroom, with major injuries to her head and face.

She said Roosa had become jealous with her, and upon arriving home pulled her out of the car by her hair, punched her in the face, ribs, and hips, slammed her into the gravel, then carried her into the bathroom where she called 911.

She was treated for seven injuries at Grant Medical Center.

For indictments on kidnapping and felonious assault, he could get up to 19 years and $35,000 in fines.

In another according to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office, on January 10th Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Barker's Towing & Salvage on Blain Highway near the Atomic Speedway, in reference to a stolen vehicle reported earlier that morning.

The sergeant observed 26-year-old Jacob J. Wilt, Jr. of Blain Highway jump into the truck in question and take off. He finally stopped after about two miles.

Wilt also had outstanding warrants.

For indictments on receiving stolen property, he could get up to 18 months and $5,000 in fines.
