The following individuals were charged by the Grand Jury and the allegations against them were made public in Circuit Court records:
- James Passmore, 38 — Intimidating a Participant in the Legal Process; Persistent Felony Offender 2nd Degree

WJRS NEWS reminds you that an indictment “does not imply guilt”. An indictment is a legal accusation and means “probable cause” was established for the charges and further court action is warranted in these matters.
