WILMINGTON — The final suspect from the SWAT standoff on Brownberry Drive was sentenced to jail time.
Jennifer Rousch, 40, of Wilmington, was sentenced to 120 days in jail on Thursday in Clinton County Municipal Court.
Roush pled guilty to charges of inducing panic and obstructing official business related to the incident last March. She also pled guilty to drug instrument possession.
Roush, along with Brandon Michael King and Thaddeus “Teddy” Knapp, were arrested after barricading themselves in an apartment after Xenia and Wilmington police arrived with a search warrant out of Xenia.
The three were eventually apprehended after tear gas was fired into the building. One Wilmington police officer received serious leg injuries after a fall in the apartment building.
King was sentenced to two years in prison in Greene County in August on two counts of breaking and entering. Knapp was sentenced to 17 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of resisting arrest in Clinton County Common Pleas Court in August.
Roush must also pay $1,250 in fines and $270 in court costs. A trespassing charge and a second drug instrument possession charge against Roush were dismissed.
