Xenia, OH — On Thursday, a Greene County jury returned a guilty verdict for 58-year-old Roger Creamer Jr., who has been convicted of several felonies including felonious assault and aggravated menacing. These charges stem from an incident that occurred in Xenia, Ohio back in April, where Creamer was also found guilty of having weapons while under disability and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
The trial, which captured the attention of the local community, showcased evidence that Creamer drove his mother’s vehicle to a Xenia residence on the evening of April 28. According to the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office, upon arrival, Creamer confronted two men who were on the back porch of the home.
Elevating the level of threat, Creamer stepped out of the vehicle armed with a gun, menacingly pointed it at one of the individuals and threatened his life. The tense confrontation escalated when the second man intervened, attempting to disarm Creamer. In the struggle that ensued, Creamer managed to fire a shot, which missed both men before he fled the scene.
Investigators later found evidence at the scene, including two parts of a fragmented bullet and a .45 caliber spent shell, which were discovered just a few feet from where Creamer discharged the firearm.
Creamer was subsequently located and apprehended in Washington Court House, a nearby neighborhood, where he was arrested at his mother’s residence without further incident.
Currently, facing over 30 years of imprisonment, Roger Creamer Jr.’s conviction marks a significant resolution to a case that has brought considerable unrest to the Xenia community.
The recent event has reignited discussions regarding gun control and the consequences of felonious actions involving firearms. The community and local authorities remain vigilant, hoping to prevent similar incidents in the future by addressing the root causes of such violent behaviors.
