Teenage defendant indicted on gun charges

1447

A teenage defendant who was underage at the time of the alleged offenses was among those indicted this week by a grand jury in Logan County Common Pleas Court.

Owen Wyne, 18, of Russells Point, was indicted by a Logan County grand jury on six felony counts and one misdemeanor count following an August shooting incident in Lakeview.

The charges include two counts of felonious assault, second-degree felonies; two counts of improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation or a school safety zone, second-degree felonies; one count of complicity to aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony; and one count of criminal damaging or endangering, a second-degree misdemeanor.

The indictment stems from an Aug. 23 firearm complaint in the 8900 block of Crescent Street, Lakeview. Washington Township police responded to reports of gunfire and discovered several bullet holes in the exterior of a home. Two people were inside at the time, but no injuries were reported.

Investigators linked the incident to a residence in Russells Point. When officers attempted to contact the suspect, Wyne fled on foot. During the pursuit, officers observed him throwing a handgun into Indian Lake. Wyne was apprehended shortly after and taken into custody.

At the time of his arrest, Wyne, then 17, was lodged at the Central Ohio Youth Center for a probation violation.

Wyne’s case now proceeds through Logan County Common Pleas Court, where he will face charges as an adult.
