Both arrested, “secret indictment.”
Charged with burglary, tampering with evidence, domestic violence, obstruction of justice.
Held in Portage County OH, at Sheriff’s Dept.
Both held without bond.
They will see Judge Becky Doherty of the Portage County Common Pleas Court on Monday at the earliest.
Should just be the initial arraignment, where she (and anyone else listening in court) will learn of the actual charges and the bail amount.
They HAVE to hold the hearing on Monday (72 hour rule), or explain the “extraordinary circumstances” that justify holding her longer.
Since these appear to be felony charges she probably won’t be asked to enter a plea at this time (not 100% sure about the rule in Ohio, so grain of salt).
If the “Victim” is refusing to cooperate, a good defense atty. should be able to get the charges dropped at the preliminary hearing, which could still be several weeks in the future at this point. Actually, a bad defense atty. should be able to get the charges dropped if the listed victim won’t cooperate.
