MARIETTA — The Washington County Grand Jury indicted 27 people Wednesday morning including four people for their involvement in a September shooting on Greene Street in Marietta that resulted in a woman getting shot in the face.

The grand jury also indicted Beverly Police Chief Todd Bumbalough for a domestic violence incident involving a juvenile female family member.

Kylar James Wilson, 20, 731 Greene St., Marietta, was indicted on one first-degree felony count of attempt to commit an offense, with a firearm specification for three years; one third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence; and three second-degree felony counts of felonious assault, each with a firearm specification of three years.

The indictment stated Wilson knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to the victim of the shooting by means of a firearm and that he engaged in conduct that had it been successful would have resulted in the offense of murder by shooting a firearm and striking the victim’s face.

Washington County Prosecutor Nicole Coil clarified that the charge of attempt to commit an offense is for attempted murder. She said previous charges included in an Oct. 8 indictment for Wilson will be dismissed and the charges from the indictment Wednesday will supersede the original charges.

Madison Marie Brant, 23, 707 Sixth St., Marietta, was indicted as a co-defendant with Wilson, on one third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence and a fourth-degree felony count of inducing panic with a firearm specification of one year.

The indictment stated Brant had a firearm on or about her person while committing the offense of inducing panic.

Coil said previous charges included in an Oct. 8 indictment, which included three second-degree felony counts of felonious assault, will be dismissed and the charges from the Wednesday indictment will supersede the original charges.

The charges against Wilson and Brant stem from their alleged involvement in a shooting that took place around 12:55 a.m. Sept. 28 in the Advance Auto Parts parking lot at 200 Greene St. Marietta Police previously told The Times officers were responding to a call at Fourth and Putnam streets when they heard gunshots downtown and responded to the scene to find a woman had been shot in the face but was still conscious. Police discovered 38 shell casings at the scene and determined four people with four handguns were involved in the shooting.

The other two suspects involved in the shooting, Ashton J. Dugan, 20, 1046 Laird Ave., Parkersburg, and Brendon M. Pierce, 18, 3109 Elm St., Parkersburg, were also indicted Wednesday as co-defendants, on one third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence; one fourth-degree felony count of aggravated assault, each with a firearm specification for three years; and one second-degree misdemeanor count of obstructing official business.

The indictment states Dugan and Pierce each had a firearm on their person and knowingly attempted to cause physical harm to Wilson by means of a firearm.

Wilson has not yet been arraigned on the charges in the new indictment and Washington County Jail records show he was arrested Oct. 8 on the old charges and has not been released. No bond has yet been set for the new charges.

Brant has not yet been arraigned on the charges in the new indictment nor has bond been set for them. Jail records show she was arrested Oct. 17 for the old charges and released Oct. 22.

Dugan was arraigned Wednesday and entered a not guilty plea. A personal recognizance bond was ordered for all charges with one of the conditions being no contact with Wilson, Pierce or the victim without counsel present. Jail records show he was arrested and released Wednesday.

According to court records, Dugan’s trial is set for 9 a.m. Feb. 11 with Washington County Court of Common Pleas Judge John Halliday’s presiding.

Pierce has not yet been arraigned and he has not entered a plea on the charge, according to court records.

According to jail records Pierce was put in the jail Oct. 11 and was released Oct. 11 after bond was set at a total of $30,000 for charges at the time of obstructing official business, tampering with evidence and attempted aggravated assault.

According to court records, no bond has been set on the charges included in the indictment, some of which are different from the charges listed at the time Pierce was arrested.

Bumbalough, 56, of Beverly, was also indicted Wednesday on one fifth-degree felony count of obstructing official business and one first-degree misdemeanor count of domestic violence.

The charges stem from an Oct. 6 incident at Bumbalough’s residence involving a 14-year-old female family member during which the child alleges she was in a verbal argument with a woman at the house and Bumbalough became involved in the argument, tackled her onto her bed and in doing so hit her in the face causing her glasses to break and injuring her right eye.

There was also a claim made in Marietta Municipal court documents by the Beverly Police officer that responded to the incident at Bumbalough’s residence that the officer handled the call differently because it involved Bumbalough and he thought the Washington County Sheriff’s Office should have gotten the call but Bumbalough did not tell him to call the Sheriff’s Office.

Bumbalough was booked into the Washington County Jail Oct. 8 for the charges and was released Oct. 9, jail personnel previously told The Times.

There was a hearing Oct. 16 in Marietta Municipal Court during which the felony charge was originally dismissed and no action was taken on the misdemeanor charges and during which it was mentioned the Washington County Prosecutor’s Office had requested a special prosecutor from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

According to the indictment Marietta City Law Director Paul Bertram is the special prosecutor for Bumbalough’s case. No hearings or trial have yet been set for Bumbalough in the Washington county Court of Common Pleas.
