16-time offender writes his estimated 800th fraudulent check

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—Leanna Briggs appeared via video call from the Carroll County Jail for two charges: aggravated possession of drugs and aggravated trafficking in drugs, both felonies in the second degree. A felony in the second degree carries a presumed prison sentence. The state, represented by Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Knight, requested a monetary bond. The court continued her previous bond of $50,000 but is willing to readdress it at a later time.

Christopher Johnson appeared via video call from the Harrison County Jail for sentencing in two cases. Johnson pled guilty to receiving stolen property, resisting arrest, obstructing official business, and passing bad checks.

He was sentenced to two years of community-based controls for each case and 80 hours of community service, and he must complete the program at EOCC. He will also need to pay restitution, which amounts to over $1,000 in just one of the cases and hasn’t yet been determined in the other. He will have a reserved sentence of 17 months for the felony in the fourth-degree charge of receiving stolen property and 12 months for the felony in the fifth-degree passing bad checks charge.

Judge Hervey had a few words for Johnson, “I just want you to know, if the State of Ohio allowed me to, I would be sending you to prison today.”

This was Johnson’s sixteenth conviction, several of which were for passing bad checks. Hervey estimated Johnson has passed or attempted to pass over 800 fraudulent checks.

“You probably are getting close to setting the record in Ohio for writing bad checks. I hope that you stop … Let me guarantee you that every time you do it, I or some other judge is going to incarcerate you. You’re 51 years old; I don’t know how much time you have left, but if you want to keep spending it in jail, keep writing bad checks.”

Three defendants were commended on their progress through the intervention in lieu of conviction program. The program allows defendants, mostly those with low-level drug crimes, to utilize mental health recovery services instead of receiving jail time or other punishments. If they are successful, their charges are dismissed.

Santana Murral was described by the probation office as “compliant” and “doing well.” She has a few more hours of community service to finish before she’s done with the program. She has been working on paying down her fines and is looking forward to putting this case behind her.

Rodney Gaydos appeared for his final court date for treatment in lieu of conviction. He said he was planning on completing his last five hours of community service that afternoon. His official completion date is in March, but Hervey said that as soon as his final hours were filed, he would be terminated successfully from the program. Hervey said the court was proud of Gaydos for his success.

Lesia Geer was the third success story of the day for the treatment program. She has been in the program since last year. She is doing well and has a few hours of community service to complete, but she is on track to have her case dismissed in a few months.

COUNTY COURT

19 speeding violations, 2 stop sign violations, 4 driving under suspension, 1 shooting from road, 1 hunting without permit, 1 receipt of stolen property, 3 OVI, 2 failure to control, 3 registration violations, 1 open container, 1 theft, 1 no operating license, 1 peeling tires, 1 failure to yield, 1 left of center, 1 failure to maintain adequate following distance, 1 obstructing official business, 1 aggravated burglary, 1 distracted driving, and two individuals were charged with a collective 8 counts of passing bad checks.

Chrystal Ellerbee VS. Cynthia Lynn

Action: Other Torts (Personal injury)

SHERIFF’S OFFICE

2/7 – A woman contacted the sheriff’s office about her boyfriend making threats toward her. She said she caught the boyfriend cheating on her recently, and he was upset about being caught. She played an audio recording of what was stated to be the boyfriend, saying he was going to kill her. She said she didn’t want anything else done at this time, only wanting the situation to be documented. The deputy advised that if she felt unsafe that she may want to plan a place to go, so she’s not around her boyfriend. She said she had another housing option but didn’t want to go there at this time.

2/11 – A deputy was called to a Hopedale residence for a custody dispute. They met with the mother of the children, who stated that she tried to drop them off at the father’s parents, where it was ordered as a drop-off location. The father was waiting at the end of the driveway for the exchange. The mother drove around him, through a yard, and up into the driveway, where his parents asked her to leave.

CADIZ POLICE DEPARTMENT

2/1 – There was a minor accident on the corner of Countryside Lane and Grant Street. Vehicle one was turning onto Grant from Countryside while vehicle two was turning onto Countryside from Grant. Vehicle one took responsibility for the crash as she said she had not seen vehicle two approach.

2/3 – An officer conducted a traffic stop on a woman leaving a house that was under investigation for known drug activity. Another officer arrived to speak with the woman, and she was brought to the station to speak further. Her car was towed since her license had been suspended since 2009. At the station, she admitted to having contact with Raymond Bennett Jr. at the residence she had been caught leaving. Bennett is known to have multiple warrants for his arrest. Officers went to the residence and spoke with the owner, who gave permission to enter. Bennett was found in the basement, in his room. He was transported to the station, where he was “respectful to all officers” before being taken to jail.

2/6 – An officer was on patrol when he heard a squad call for an unresponsive juvenile. The caller had the juvenile in her personal vehicle near the Route 9 exit on U.S. 22. Officers met the caller there and escorted her to Harrison Community Hospital. An officer carried the juvenile into the hospital, and staff administered Narcan. A sheriff’s deputy who had dealt with the juvenile earlier in the day then arrived on the scene. The deputy took over the investigation from that point.

2/8 – A woman came to the station to report that one of her students had a red mark on his ankle and told her that it was from his father hitting him with a belt. Information was forwarded to child services.

A driver traveling down Route 22 pulled their vehicle to the side of the road and noticed a fire near the vehicle’s battery. A police officer was able to extinguish the fire, and the car was towed. The driver was issued a citation for expired registration.

2/9 – An officer was on patrol when they were called to the Harrison County Jail to speak with a juvenile that claimed he was chased and threatened by another group of juveniles. The officer arrived at the jail and spoke with the juvenile, then proceeded to take him to the station. The other juveniles were apprehended, and their parents were contacted. One juvenile had violated their probation and was taken to Sargus for menacing.

Dear Ann,

My teenage son is one of the best kids I know. He is respectful to all the family members and me. He gets good grades. Everyone loves being around him. He has really grown into a good little man. However, when I text him, he is *only* capable of responding to one idea at a time and will completely disregard anything else that is said. He has no concept of time, and while he is never stressed, he is never in a rush and often inconveniences my husband and me. How do I beat a sense of urgency into my otherwise perfect child?!

Sincerely, Motivator Momma

Dear Motivator Momma,

I really believe a lot of parents face this. The age-old conundrum of teenagers giving the least amount of information possible because they don’t want to take the time to give the proper answers—many parents have dealt with this throughout history. However, I think with technology giving instant answers in today’s world, kids have a hard time talking through things because they aren’t as practiced in verbal processing. I don’t know how old your son is, but I’m guessing he is at least a young teen. I would suggest that you take some privileges away to get his attention. He needs to understand that although he’s doing a great job with school and friends, he needs to understand that respect for you includes proper communication. Let him know how important his respect is and how it will make him a better person in return. Thinking of others always helps you “think outside the box,” and it is time he begins to consider others in his communication styles. Just keep talking and leading him—I’m sure he will come out of it eventually. He sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders, but he’s preoccupied with things that aren’t important. Show him what he should care about.

Love, Ann

Ann is a local lady taking questions! Email her at newsroom@harrisonnewsherald.com.
