Carlisle man accused of intentionally crashing minivan with 3 young children inside
Jun. 5—A Carlisle man is accused of choking his children's mother while driving a minivan in April with their three young children and his mother inside before intentionally crashing in Franklin. Riley Blaine Bowman, 37, was arraigned Wednesday in Warren County Common Pleas Court following his indictment by a county grand jury for felony counts of strangulation and endangering children. He also is charged with three OVI counts plus driving under suspension, all misdemeanors. Franklin police were dispatched around 7:30 p.m. April 30 for a report of a hit and run crash near the intersection Park and Miami avenues. A witness who called 911 reported the driver of a 2010 Honda Odyssey, later identified as Bowman, hit a fire hydrant and stop sign before fleeing. The caller followed the minivan to a South Avenue residence, according to a Franklin Division of Police report. Police spoke with a woman who had marks around her neck who told officers that Bowman was choking her in the van before he intentionally crashed. She said he refused to let her and the children out but did take them home before he left on foot with his mother. Franklin and Carlisle police began searching the area for Bowman, who was found at the corner of Forest Avenue and Sycamore Street in Franklin. Officers reported Bowman smelled of alcohol and that he admitted to drinking four or five shots. According to the police report, his blood alcohol level tested at .171, which is more than two times Ohio's .08 legal driving limit. Bowman also told officers he never touched his children's mother and said she grabbed and jerked the wheel, causing the crash, the report stated. Bowman is held in the Warren County Jail on a cash-only $25,000 bond. If he posts bail he will be on electronic home monitoring and must have no contact with the woman or children, court records show.

2 Columbus men jailed after high-speed chase in car stolen from Franklin
May 28—Two Columbus men indicted last week are accused of stealing cars from a Franklin dealership last month and were involved in a high-speed chase that ended in a crash in Springboro, police say. Sam Numan Mahmud Jama, 25, and Hadeem Mohamad Mahmoud, 22, were scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Warren County Common Pleas Court. Mahmoud was indicted by a county grand jury for two counts of failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer and one count each of robbery and grand theft of a motor vehicle, plus misdemeanor counts of failure to stop after an accident and obstructing official business. Jama was indicted for three counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle and misdemeanor counts of criminal damaging and obstructing official business. Franklin police were called to a report of a car theft at 8 p.m. April 24 at Adesa Auto Auction at 4400 William C. Good Blvd. in Franklin, where three cars had been stolen and damaged. A security guard said when he confronted the pair that he was shoved to the ground by the driver, identified as Mahmoud, before they fled in a stolen green Dodge Charger with black racing stripes. The car fled north to Interstate 75 from Ohio 123 before getting off at the Ohio 73 exit and heading east. Police were in pursuit, with the driver's speeds reaching 85 mph, according to a Franklin Division of Police report. The stolen car eventually was spotted on Lower Springboro Road after it crashed at a curve near the Springboro Cemetery and Myers Creek Lane, hitting the front of a Chevrolet Equinox. The officer spotted the two men in the stolen Charger running through a creek behind the cemetery and tried to follow before losing sight of them in heavy brush, the report stated. Springboro officers apprehended the two men, who were taken to Kettering Health Franklin and then brought to the Franklin Division of Police to be interviewed before they were booked into the Warren County Jail. Jama and Mahmoud are each held on $50,000 bond.
