SIDNEY — Three people were arraigned in Shelby County Court of Common Pleas on Thursday following indictments by a grand jury. The charges all related to a break-in along the 8000 block of Lochard Road.
Robert Barga, 41, 615 Sixth Ave., Ronnie Scholl, 37, 9770 Pasco Montra Road, and Amanda Greene, 36, 222 Jefferson St., were allegedly involved in the incident. Barga, who was recently found guilty of one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, four counts of forgery and one count of possession of criminal tools in a jury trial, was out on bond when he visited the Sidney Police Department to report that Scholl and Greene had stolen checks. Barga reportedly claimed that Greene had cashed one of the checks at Fifth-Third Bank in another city.
Barga entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of complicity to burglary. His indictment specifies that this charge is due to his aid to Greene and Scholl during the aggravated burglary as the driver and lookout. Judge James Stevenson ordered bond be set at $100,000.
Scholl was indicted on two counts of breaking and entering and one count of burglary. He entered a plea of not guilty and bond was set at $7,500. Greene was indicted on one count of burglary. She pleaded not guilty and was released on her own recognizance.
