A Zanesville police officer and a former Zanesville police sergeant have been indicted in connection to a recent shooting incident in Licking County. On Wednesday, Charles A. Lewis, 34, of Gnaddenhutten, was indicted on one count each discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises, a third-degree felony; improper handling firearms in a motor vehicle, a fourth-degree felony; and first-degree misdemeanor using weapons while intoxicated.
According to Assistant Licking County Prosecutor Eric Depue, on Feb. 1, Licking County Law enforcement responded to reports of someone firing a weapon out of a moving vehicle on Ohio 16 eastbound near Marne Road in Newark. The vehicle was determined to be a 2015 Ford Fusion. Defense attorney Derrick Moorehead said his client disputed the allegation the AR-15 was found in the front of the vehicle, saying the firearm was actually located in the rear of the vehicle. Moorehead requested Miracle be considered for community control, noting recidivism was unlikely the case. He also noted he filed a petition for driving privileges on behalf of his client. Moorehead asked Branstool to consider that aside from the shooting incident, his client was a productive citizen for his whole life.
