RUSH AND COX APPEAR BEFORE JUDGE EVANS - Both Charged With Murder, Parsons Will Have Arraignment |
| (01/25/2005) |
| Sand Ridge resident Ronnie Rush will appear before Judge Thomas Evans III today in Grantsville for what is described as post trial motions. The motions are being filed by his attorney Teresa Monk. Rush was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in December for the deaths of Ward Groves and his ex-wife Mary Hicks. Rush is also facing other counts related to burglary and larceny. Christopher Cox, 19, who has been indicated for the first degree murder of Russell Metz of Arnoldsburg, will appear in court today for an arraignment. Cox allegedly shot and stabbed Metz, whose body was discovered in a cabin a short distance off U. S. 33-119 near the Calhoun-Roane line. Also appearing in court today is 24-year-old Adam Parsons of Grantsville, who has been indicted on abuse charges related to what officials called the worst case of child abuse they have seen in Calhoun County in recent years. Parsons will appear for arraignment today, being charged with the "serious" wounding" of a six-year-old Mt. Zion boy. The boy's four-year-old twin brothers were also abused. Parsons was indicted on two counts of child abuse resulting in injury, one count of child abuse resulting in injury and one count of malicious assault. He is being held in Central Regional Jail on $98,000 bond. Brian Rush, 23, of Sand Ridge, will appear before Judge Evans for further sentencing after he violated terms of his probation. Rush had been placed on five-year probation for a sexual offense related to a 13-year-old female. He pled guilty to third-degree sexual assault. John David Hickman, 47, will be answering an indictment, after he was charged with a drug offense. The Calhoun Sheriff's department confiscated 57 marijuana plants at Country Lanes. Other cases on today's docket: - State vs. Michael Lee Smith, arraignment - State vs. Bernard Smith, status and scheduling - State vs. William Bohn, further proceedings - State vs. Douglas Jackson, further proceedings
