CHILLICOTHE — Two men were arrested Tuesday and booked into the Ross County Jail on first-degree felony aggravated robbery charges after Chillicothe police responded to a reported robbery in progress at Sherman Park.
Officers were dispatched to 801 Sherman Park shortly after 11:18 a.m. on Sept. 23, according to the police report. The incident was classified as aggravated robbery — a first-degree felony under Ohio law — and the report indicates a shotgun and a blunt object were involved. Police described the incident as drug-related and noted that no forced entry occurred.
Jail records show Trey Allan Brushart, 21, was booked at approximately 1:32 p.m., and Keith Alan Scaggs II, 39, was booked at approximately 2:01 p.m. Officer Monique Lee is listed as the arresting officer for both men, and both were initially held without bond.
Multiple officers and a medic responded to the scene. The police report lists the case as cleared by adult arrest, though the publicly available report is marked as an unapproved draft and does not yet detail what police allege each man did during the incident.
Aggravated robbery is among the most serious offenses in Ohio’s criminal code, carrying a potential prison sentence of three to 11 years upon conviction. Both men remain presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
The investigation continued Friday, and additional details — including possible bond hearings or court dates — had not been released as of publication.
