Inskeep Sentenced to 7 to 8 years

​Judge Kevin P. Braig of the Logan County Court of Common Pleas today sentenced Sylvia Inskeep to 7 to 8 years in prison on multiple felonies involving possession of methamphetamine and the burglary of a farmhouse near West Liberty, Ohio. Judge Braig also ordered Inskeep to pay $1,500 in restitution to the victim of the burglary.
 
On October 10, 2025, a Logan County jury convicted Inskeep of complicity to burglary, complicity to three counts of grand theft of firearms, and complicity to two counts of aggravated possession of drugs. The jury found that Inskeep aided and abetted Edward Morgan in committing the offenses. Evidence presented to the jury included a video of Inskeep using methamphetamine with Morgan in the parking lot of the McDonald's on South Main Street the afternoon of the burglary.
 
Judge Braig called the offenses "serious crimes" and found that the victims suffered serious economic, mental, and emotional harm that the conduct of Inskeep and Morgan resembled organized crime in the manner in which it was coordinated and carried out. Judge Braig also noted that Inskeep was out on bond on an indictment in Union County at the time she committed the offenses in Logan County.
 
At the sentencing hearing and in her statement in her pre-sentence investigation report, Inskeep minimized her role in the crimes and stated she would not have been involved but for her "toxic relationship" with Morgan. Inskeep also indicated she will appeal the jury's verdict and her sentence.
 
Previously, Judge Braig sentenced Morgan to 15 to 18 years in prison for his role in the offenses and another burglary.
