Among the cases, Keith Mosley, 45, entered a guilty plea to one count of having weapons under disability, while additional charges including tampering with evidence and drug paraphernalia were dismissed. His bond was revoked and he was ordered to complete a pre-sentence investigation.
In a separate case, Nicholas James Grosscup, 38, pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and aggravated possession of drugs. He was sentenced to 12 months on each count, to be served concurrently with his current incarceration.

Drug-related charges were also common throughout the docket. Ashlee Shashannon Webb, 37, of Circleville, faces multiple counts including aggravated possession of drugs, possession of fentanyl-related compounds, and possession of cocaine. Webb entered a not guilty plea and was released on bond with conditions, including maintaining employment and complying with pretrial supervision.
