CADIZ — Trials are rare in Cadiz, but the case against Andrew Hill appears to be headed there since no resolution was reached between the defendant and and the Harrison County Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday.

Hill, 32, of Uhrichsville, is being represented by lawyer Anthony Koukoutas. Hill faces numerous charges that include third-degree felony abduction, two second-degree felony aggravated burglaries and four misdemeanors involving violation of a protection order, two domestic violence charges and resisting arrest.

Tuesday was the last pretrial hearing in the case. A trial date has been set for Dec. 15. Hill’s bail has been set for $150,000.

In the case of Richard Jones, 42, of Orrville, Ohio, a warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to appear in court. He is facing a felonious assault charge. His bail had been set at $30,000. His attorney is listed as Francesca Carinci.

Abigail Motz, 33, of Carrollton, Ohio, was another defendant facing a serious charge of aggravated trafficking in drugs. Her hearing lasted less than five minutes. She was represented by lawyer Eugene O’Byrne, who just became attached to the case last week, according to Common Pleas Judge T. Shawn Hervey.

Motz’s case was continued as the prosecutor’s office had yet to receive a request for discovery items. O’Byrne said he was also representing Motz in her Carroll County case, where she faces other charges. He agreed to meet with the prosecutor’s office in an attempt to resolve her case in Harrison County. Her bail had been set at $75,000 but was later amended to $50,000.

Blaine Hochstetler, 23, of Sherrodsville, Ohio, had to have his case set for another hearing for more review. He is being represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola. Hochstetler is facing an aggravated possession charge as well as possession of cocaine.

Also, Melissa Marker, 34, of Tippecanoe appeared after being presented with a notice to revoke her Community Based Control sanctions. She is facing two theft charges and a forgery charge, all felonies of the fifth degree. Marker refused an attorney and held to her answer after Hervey further explained her situation and options. She relented when informed she would need to return to court. Hervey then noted she was eligible for public defense.

Hervey read the alleged violations, which included two operating a vehicle while intoxicated charges, breaking and entering coupled with vandalism and theft. She also reportedly failed to make payments on a $1,200-plus restitution obligation from a previous charge. She is scheduled to appear for an evidentiary hearing.
