The Ross County Grand Jury returned all 17 of their cases Friday, with only one open. In it, according to the Ross County Prosecutor's Office:
On October 10th, Chillicothe Police Officers responded to a call in the 700 block of East 4th Street. Two victims reported they got into an argument with 57-year-old Jefferson L. Coy. He had then assaulted them with a hammer, telling them to leave...then he himself left.
The hammer was not found. The victims, one of which was Coy's brother, showed significant bleeding and swelling but refused medical treatment.
For indictments on two counts of felonious assault, Coy could get up to eight years and $15,000 in fines for each.
