Former Bellefontaine sergeant in court on OVI, firearm charges
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A former Bellefontaine officer was in a Logan County court Wednesday on firearm and OVI charges.
Bellefontaine Police Sgt. Bradley Staley faces charges of improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, a felony of the fifth degree, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence (OVI), a misdemeanor of the first degree.
Staley appeared before Judge Kevin P. Braig in the Logan County Court of Common Pleas.
The judge granted Staley recognizance bond, ordered him to keep in contact with lawyer Madison Mackay and submit to pre-trial drug/alcohol testing.
Staley pleaded not guilty to the charges. He moved the court for admission to the intervention instead of the conviction program.
He was ordered by the court to appear for a pre-sentence investigation interview. A hearing is scheduled on the motion and to accept a change of plea on the OVI charge for July 11 at 2 p.m.
