CIRCLEVILLE, OH — Court records confirm that Bradley Boysel has officially entered guilty pleas for Aggravated Possession of Drugs and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Following his guilty plea, the court ordered a Pre-Sentence Investigation (PSI), with sentencing scheduled for December 9, 2026.
The charges stem from a June 23 traffic stop initiated by Circleville Police Department Officer Zachary Irwin around 6:07 p.m. Officer Irwin observed a black Chevrolet Silverado with an obstructed license plate turn improperly onto South Court Street. The truck later nearly struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk on U.S. 23 before being pulled over near the intersection of U.S. 23 and Court Street.
The driver, Billie Thompson, was found to have a suspended license. The passenger initially provided a false name and birthdate to law enforcement before being identified as Boysel, who had an outstanding warrant through the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office.
During a pat-down, officers recovered a knife and multiple pieces of drug paraphernalia, including glass pipes commonly used for smoking methamphetamine and crack cocaine. A subsequent K9 free-air sniff of the vehicle resulted in a positive alert for narcotics.
A search of the vehicle and occupants led to the recovery of a crystal-like substance—identified as methamphetamine—along with additional drug pipes. Both Thompson and Boysel were arrested and booked into the Pickaway County Jail.
With his guilty pleas now entered, Boysel awaits his upcoming sentencing hearing following the completion of the court’s PSI report.
