​A Logan County jury returned a not guilty verdict in favor of Jared M. Wile on a charge of fourth degree felony domestic violence.
 
The charge arose from an incident outside DeGraff, Ohio, on October 20, 2024, during which Wile argued with his wife and his wife's brother struck Wile. A military veteran on disability, Wile maintained that he defended himself against an attack. It was undisputed at the trial that his wife's brother threw the first punch and that Wile called 911 and requested law enforcement be sent to the residence.
 
Logan County Assistant Prosecutor Erin Rosen represented the State of Ohio. Defense counsel John Cunninham of Dayton, Ohio, represented Wile.

Former Bellefontaine Police Officer Bradley Staley appeared in the Logan County Court of Common Pleas today on charges of improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, a felony of the fifth degree, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence (OVI), a misdemeanor of the first degree.

Judge Kevin P. Braig granted Staley and own reconnaissance bond and ordered that he keep in contact with lawyer Madison Mackay and submit to pre-trial drug and alcohol testing.

Staley entered not guilty pleas to the charges but also moved the Court for admission to the intervention in lieu of conviction program. The court ordered Staley to appear for a pre-sentence investigation interview and scheduled a hearing on the motion and to accept a change of plea on the OVI charge for July 11, 2025, at 2 PM.
