CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A Chillicothe man is in jail today after police say he allegedly broke into several cars and when confronted pulled a handgun.
Officers with the police department responded Saturday to the 200 block of Caldwell Street. The police spoke with a witness who said he saw a white male checking for unlocked car doors along the street. The witness said he confronted the man who then reached into his waistband, pulling out a handgun. When the witness told the suspect that he was going to call 9-1-1 the man with the gun fled the scene.
Officer Daubenmire located the suspect, ironically, out front of the Ross County Courthouse with a loaded 9mm handgun. The man later identified as Cayne C. Smith was taken into custody and transported to the Ross County Jail.
Smith now faces first-degree felony charges of aggravated robbery.
