Two Columbus-area men were arraigned in Madison County Common Pleas Court on Friday, charged with dealing heroin in the vicinity of a Columbus school.
Guled A. Dayib, 26, 5665 Farmhouse Lane, Hilliard, is accused of selling heroin to an undercover London police officer on Feb. 7 near John Burroughs Elementary School on Columbus’ west side. Dayib’s co-defendant, Charles Reed III, 21, 617 S. Ogden Ave., Columbus, is charged with selling the drug on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7 in the same place.
Judge Robert D. Nichols appointed Thomas Arrington to represent Dayib at an April 29 trial and ordered the man held on a $5,000 surety bond. Mike Murray was appointed to represent Reed on the same day.
Prosecutor Steve Pronai said Dayib is currently living in a Hilliard home rented by a Detroit resident and is a potential flight risk.
In other arraignments on Friday:
• James M. Edwards, 22, no address, and Devin J. Troesch, 19, of Richwood, were charged with breaking and entering and possession of criminal tools, stemming from an incident at the London Sewage Disposal Plant on Jan. 26.
Nichols appointed Jess Stacy to represent Edwards at an April 29 trial. Edwards remains in jail under a $5,000 surety bond.
Josh Beasley will represent Troesch on the same day. Troesch posted bond and was released on house arrest with electronic monitoring.
• Sarah L. Knox, 29, 792 Dozer Drive, West Jefferson, was charged with complicity to steal a 1995 Buick sedan and forgery, stemming from incidents on Jan. 15.
Nichols appointed Dale Frenz to represent Knox at an April 29 trial and released the woman on a signature bond.
• Shawn W. Reed, 23, 1795 Middle Pike, West Jefferson, was charged with two counts of felony theft, stemming from incidents on June 18-25 and Nov. 1-21, 2012. Nichols gave Reed 10 days to hire a private attorney for a May 8 trial and released the man on a signature bond.
• John Peck Jr., 44, 3397 Partridge Place, No. 305, Columbus, was charged with possession of Methodone and Oxycodone on Dec. 30, 2009. Peck was indicted on the charges in May 2010, but was not arrested until Feb. 19 in Franklin County.
Nichols appointed Fred Ballam to represent Peck at a May 1 trial and ordered the man held on a $5,000 surety bond.
Have to say I think the same way jimmy does. I mean look at the girl who got caught with 11 counts 5 with a child with her and all she got was a year because they felt srry for her. How r the going to know what they did wrong if we let them free a year later. She knew what she was doing so did the others that got caught. Let them do their time. How r u going to clean up London if you let them get by with a slap on the hand and tell them not to do it again.
I’m failing to realize how a London undercover officer had jurisdiction on the west side of Columbus off of Sullivant Ave??? Not that I’m against catching the scum bags… just saying.
let them all go free that’s the Madison County way
