SIDNEY – Several people have been charged for their alleged deceitful attempts to gain money in the city. In all, 13 people were indicted by the Shelby County grand jury on Thursday, June 27.

The charges include forgery, counterfeiting, tampering with records and illicit drug use.

On Saturday, the SDN published a story on Shamon Runyon of Minster, who was indicted on kidnapping and gun charges. These are the 12 remaining cases to be arraigned on Wednesday, July 3, at 10 a.m. in Shelby County Common Pleas Court.

Joey Dillon Baker, 33, Lancaster, Ohio, remains held at the county jail on a $50,000 bond for incidents occurring earlier this month.

According to online court records, on June 14, Baker broke into a building at Sidney Tree Care, Inc., 18450 Johnston Road, to commit a theft. He stole a 2012 Chevrolet 3500 Silverado truck from the business.

On June 17, Baker returned to the area of the theft and authorities attempted to make a traffic stop to speak with him. He fled the scene traveling at high rates of speed and failing to stop at stop sign locations.

Baker was indicted on grand theft of a motor vehicle, a fourth-degree felony, breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony, and for failure to comply with the order or signal of a an officer, a third-degree felony.

In another truck related case, a Sidney woman was supposedly discovered to be falsifying records in order to obtain a duplicate title for a 2003 Ford F250 truck she did not own.

Ashley E. Thornhill, 29, 615 Ann Place, was indicted for tampering with records, a third-degree felony, and two counts of attempted tampering with records, both fourth-degree felonies.

According to court documents, on Feb. 9, Thornhill allegedly falsified an affidavit at the Shelby County Title Office to obtain a duplicate title for the truck she portrayed to own. When the affidavit was entered into the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database it prompted the tampering charge.

On April 30, Thornhill knowingly falsified the assignment of a duplicate Ohio Certificate of Title to a 2003 Ford F250 truck. The next day, on May 1, Thornhill again provided false ownership documents to obtain a duplicate title. These actions prompted the two attempted tampering with record charges.
