Marietta, Ohio — A Washington County Grand Jury recently handed down indictments for 21 individuals on various charges ranging from drug trafficking to domestic violence. Among those indicted is a Cutler man, Mitchel Allen Tabler, 31, who faces multiple charges following a car accident at the beginning of the year.
Tabler, of Robert Kelly Road, Cutler, was charged with six counts, including tampering with evidence, arson, obstructing official business, criminal damaging, failure to stop after an accident, and driving under OVI suspension. His involvement in a collision on State Route 7 and Joe Skinner Road in Belpre on Jan. 2 led to his indictment after he reportedly fled the scene without providing his contact details.
The indictments also implicate several other area residents in serious offenses. Christina Greathouse, 19, and Allen Richard Sampson, 36, both of Marietta, face charges related to perjury and drug possession, respectively. Jason Adam Szakal, 45, from Whipple, was hit with multiple felony counts, including aggravated drug trafficking and possession, as well as having weapons under disability.
Significant drug-related charges were also leveled against Amber Nicole Gregory, 41, of Wheeling, who allegedly possessed and trafficked a fentanyl-related compound, alongside tampering with evidence. A similar accusation was directed at Miguel Devegay Turner Robinson, 22, of Akron, highlighting a troubling trend of drug-related activities in the region.
In addition to drug offenses, the grand jury charged several individuals with violent crimes. Justin Michael Davis, 41, of Belpre, faces a felony charge of domestic violence, while Rodney Len Gillespie, 39, also from Marietta, is accused of domestic violence, strangulation, and assault.
The grand jury’s findings underscore an ongoing battle against both drug trafficking and violent crimes in Washington County, reflecting broader national issues of substance abuse and domestic violence.
Authorities are attempting to address these challenges through diligent legal processes, hoping to curb the disturbing trends highlighted by these recent indictories. As the cases progress, they will undoubtedly draw attention to the effectiveness of local and regional efforts to uphold law and order.
The charges and accusations listed are part of broader efforts to maintain community safety and prosecute criminal activities effectively. These indictments serve as a reminder of the legal system’s role in addressing and deterring crime.
