3 facing charges after reportedly taking man to Englewood bank to rob him
May 20—Three men are accused of taking a man to an Englewood bank in an attempt to rob him.
Anthjuan D. Osborne Jr., 23, Millone J. Ball-Murray, 20, and Dwayne B. Mundy, 36, are facing one count each of aggravated robbery and kidnapping in Vandalia Municipal Court.
Bond was set at $150,000 for Osborne and Ball-Murray. Mundy was released to the Miami County Sheriff's Office for a warrant and has been released on bond, according to court records.
On May 14, Englewood police responded to the Huntington Bank at 800 W. Wenger Road after a customer claimed he was driven to the bank under duress to withdraw a large amount of money, according to police.
Officers found the suspect vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and ordered the suspects to get out of the SUV.
The driver, Ball-Murray, and Mundy got out of the Jeep and followed commands.
Osborne got into the driver seat and tried to flee, but the Jeep became disabled, and Osborne fled on foot, according to court records. He was later arrested at an apartment complex nearby.
Officers found two handguns and an AR-style pistol in the Jeep.
When police spoke to the victim he explained he was in a car crash around three months ago and needed to file a claim for compensation.
He didn't know how to file the claim and didn't have a bank account, so he asked his friend, Ball-Murray, for help, according to court records.
He reportedly didn't hear anything until May 14, when Ball-Murray arrived at his home and said Osborne and Mundy were helping create the bank account.
They told him he needed to verify the account and withdraw money, according to court documents. They allegedly claimed the money in the account was from a settlement a family member of theirs had received.
The victim told police this was the first time he knew a bank account had been created in his name.
"(He) advised he thought something was up, but went with them because he thought they would force him to go if he refused," an affidavit read.
First, they went to a Huntington Bank in West Milton.
While inside, the man confirmed with a teller he had the account and the deposit was from his insurance settlement.
When he went back to the Jeep, he told the trio he wasn't allowed to withdraw the money because the bank had to verify and authorize it, according to court records.
The trio reportedly said they'd take him to a bank in Englewood, but the man wanted to go home.
The man said the men were getting agitated and one was hitting the SUV's dashboard. He explained he was getting suspicious and didn't understand why they were getting mad over someone else's money, according to court documents.
The trio took him to the Huntington Bank on West Wenger Road and reportedly told him to withdraw $9,800.
The man told police he thought the men would take him to another place, tell him to get out of the car, shoot him and then take all the money if he followed their directions, according to court records.
"He said they never threatened to do that, but by the way they were acting and taking into consideration that they were all armed, that's what made him believe that was going to occur," an affidavit read.
Once inside the Englewood bank, the man went to a teller and asked her to call the police.

2 in custody after loaded, high-capacity weapons found outside graduation, sheriff says
2 in custody after loaded, high-capacity weapons found outside graduation, sheriff says The weapons found include what Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard described as an AR-style pistol and a Glock semi-automatic handgun. Show Caption Hide Caption Are mass shootings accelerating in the US? Here's what we know. Can mass shootings cause more mass shootings? This is what the research says. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY Two people are in custody after sheriff's deputies in Michigan found loaded, high-capacity weapons in the parking lot of a high school graduation as a brawl unfolded on June 3. The weapons found include what Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard described as an AR-style pistol and a Glock semi-automatic handgun. Both were loaded with 40-round magazines, including a drum and an extended stick, Bouchard said. The guns were not registered. Officials "probably prevented a mass shooting" in Pontiac, Bouchard said in a June 6 news conference. Sheriff's deputies were originally called out after reports of a brawl breaking out, but were told by an individual at the event that rumors of threats about a possible shooting were circulating on social media, according to Bouchard. Two people, ages 19 and 20, have been taken into custody, officials said. Neither was a graduating student but had disputes with others at the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac, which had its graduation on June 3, at the United Wholesale Mortgage sports complex. The motive behind the incident wasn't clear, Bouchard said. In a Facebook post, the Arts and Technology Academy said a "brief physical altercation" took place inside the venue that was handled by staff and security. The people were removed from the event and the commencement continued without disruption. Afterward, the altercation continued away from the venue, the school said. As deputies investigated, they learned those in the fight had been seen placing a packages under cars at the sports complex's parking lot, Bouchard said. The package, a backpack, turned out to have a weapon, Bouchard said. Another weapon was also recovered. A yet-to-be named 19-year-old suspect was in custody and is expected to face charges. A second suspect, Jamarion Hardiman, 20, was also taken into custody. Hardiman was on probation for a weapons offense, Bouchard said. Oakland County experienced a mass shooting in 2021. Then, a 15-year-old student murdered four classmates and injured seven others at Oxford High School, about 20 miles away from Pontiac. Eduardo Cuevas of USA TODAY contributed to this report.

Cheap, fast and armed: U.S. looks to thwart Ukraine-style drone swarms
Cheap, fast and armed: U.S. looks to thwart Ukraine-style drone swarms Ukraine recently used inexpensive drones to inflict serious damage to Russia's strategic bomber fleet in an audacious attack. Show Caption Hide Caption Ukrainian drone attack hits Russian air force bases A large scale Ukrainian drone attack hit multiple Russian air force bases, significantly setting Russia back. A senior U.S. military official said it was only a matter of time before drones were used in a "mass casualty event" in the U.S. Last year, the military tallied 350 drone incursions on domestic bases. Most were thought to be the work of hobbyists who strayed into restricted airspace. WASHINGTON − Cheap weaponized drones pose a threat to military bases and civilians, leading a senior military official to predict they'll be used soon to inflict a 'mass-casualty event.' Ukraine underscored the risk to advanced military powers on June 1 when its inexpensive drones damaged or destroyed strategic warplanes across Russia. U.S. military bases, and targets like major sports events, share similar vulnerabilities, officials say. Neither the Pentagon, nor the militaries of other developed countries, has figured out how to defend against swarms of small drones packed with explosives, according to the military official, who has been briefed on counter-drone efforts but was not authorized to speak publicly. More: Russia's 'Pearl Harbor': What to know about Ukraine's audacious drone strike We're not even close, the official said. No one is. The threat from drones to military isn't just overseas. Last year, the military tallied 350 drone incursions on domestic bases, according to U.S. Northern Command. Most of those were probably hobbyists who strayed into restricted airspace, the defense official said. Some, however, could have been from foreign adversaries spying on the military. And some wonder if they could have carried explosives. More: Ukraine drone attack shows familiar-looking drones can be terrifying weapons How does the Pentagon, which spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on defense, have such a vulnerability? What's being done to address it, and how future of drone warfare plays out gains greater and greater urgency for lawmakers and military planners as technology improves almost daily. For the better part of two decades, the Pentagon had unmatched superiority in drone technology. Early in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Predator and later Reaper drones armed with Hellfire missiles allowed pilots in dark bases in the Nevada desert to attack militant targets in the Middle East. A Reaper costs about $28 million, according to the Congressional Research Service. For a fraction of that cost today, a small drone can be weaponized and flown to its target and deliver devastating effects, too. 'At a cost of a mere tens of thousands of dollars, Ukraine inflicted billions in damage, potentially setting back Russia's bomber capabilities for years,' Army Secretary Dan Driscoll testified to Congress this week. 'The world saw in near-real time how readily available technology can disrupt established power dynamics.' Ukraine has been at the forefront of militarized drone development. By necessity, it needs a cheap alternative to thwart Russia, a country with a far larger military force that has advantages in conventional weapons like warplanes, tanks and artillery. Ukraine deployed first-person view, or FPV drones, in its attack on the Russian airfields. FPV drones allow a pilot with a headset to steer the aircraft to its target. That technology has proliferated and gotten relatively cheap in recent years. You can buy an FPV drone on Amazon for under $700. The Ukrainian military has refined technology for small drones and improves nearly weekly to offset Russian countermeasures, the defense official said. Fatal attack The Pentagon is painfully aware of the threat. In January 2024 militants in Jordan launched a drone attack on an outpost in the desert as soldiers slept in their quarters. Three died when the drone slammed into their building. Realizing the urgency of the threat, the Pentagon began funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into counter-drone weaponry. That includes electronic jamming devices that can sever the link between the operator and the drone, rendering it harmless. Small missiles can be fired at drones at a distance, and shotgun-type weapons can be used for those closer in, the official said. Even nets can be used to snag drones in the air before they reach their target. Defending against a swarm of small drones is a tough problem, the official said. There's no simple solution. On Capitol Hill, Sen. Roger Wicker, the Republican chairman of the Armed Services Committee, assured Army officials that Congress is prepared to spend billions on drone defense. Before senators and Army officials retreated to discuss the drone threat in secret, Driscoll raised another alarm about the threat. 'We are not doing enough,' he said. 'The current status quo is not sufficient.'
