CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A Chillicothe man remains in jail today on a $10,000 bond, charged with felonious assault following an alleged domestic dispute.
According to the report from the Chillicothe Police Department, the victim filed a complaint, saying she was assaulted by her boyfriend, 38-year-old Nicholas Grooms, on 1/31/2024. The woman told police that Grooms, following an argument, grabbed a broken piece of a cabinet and struck her multiple times with it.
Grooms was arrested this week and incarcerated at the Ross County Jail.
In addition to this case, detectives are investigating suspected child pornography linked to the same residence. Officials have not publicly stated if Grooms is a suspect in that case.
On 2/13/2024, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) notified detectives with the Chillicothe Police Department regarding a video of three underage females in a state of undress being uploaded to a Verizon cloud-based server.
Additional information on that case was withheld by investigators, citing an ongoing investigation.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
