A Logan County jury returned not guilty verdicts Tuesday, June 10 in favor of Brandon M. Bailey.
The Zanesfield resident was acquitted of one count of strangulation, a felony of the third degree, and two counts of domestic violence, both misdemeanors of the first degree, in Logan County Common Pleas Court.
The charges arose from an Aug. 3, 2024, disagreement between then-52-year-old Bailey and his then-girlfriend and also involved an altercation between Bailey and the victim’s son.
Logan County Assistant Prosecutor Erin Rosen argued that Bailey committed the offenses after an argument about an electric bill and a motor vehicle.
Defense counsel Addie King conceded that a dispute that turned physical occurred, but Bailey defended himself and was not the aggressor in the incident.
