About This Booking Record

Resisting Arrest

Resisting arrest (Ohio Revised Code §2921.33) involves recklessly or by force resisting or interfering with a lawful arrest. It is generally a second-degree misdemeanor, increasing if a weapon or harm is involved.

Criminal Trespass

Criminal trespass (Ohio Revised Code §2911.21) involves knowingly entering or remaining on the land or premises of another without privilege to do so. It is generally a fourth-degree misdemeanor.

Probation Violation

A probation (community-control) violation is not a new substantive crime but an allegation that a person failed to follow the conditions of an existing probation term. Such matters are handled by the supervising court.

Ross County

Jurisdiction: Bookings attributed to Ross County are processed through the Ross County Jail in Chillicothe, Ohio. Misdemeanor cases are generally heard in the Chillicothe Municipal Court, while felony matters proceed to the Ross County Court of Common Pleas.
