Felony charges dismissed in 2021 shooting trial
LIMA__On July 2, Allen County Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Reed dismissed felony charges against Ronald Powell of Findlay, who was alleged to have discharged a firearm while being pursued by Bluffton Police officers in December 2021.
The Lima News has reported that Reed found the state in error when it provided Powell with the wrong address for the Common Pleas Court, which delayed his request to proceed to trial within 180 days.
The Lima News reported that the case was "dismissed with prejudice" by Reed and that an appeal is expected.
