HILLSBORO — A Highland County grand jury returned indictments against 28 individuals in its Tuesday session, including charges against Nickolaus K. Garrison, the Hillsboro man whose dramatic escape from Highland County Common Pleas Court was caught on video Sept. 22.

Garrison was apprehended almost four days later at a Clinton County motel, and was immediately transported to the Corrections Reception Center in Orient to begin serving a nearly two-year prison sentence after being convicted of possession of methamphetamine while under community control for an earlier drug conviction.

The grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Garrison; one on a charge of escape, a third-degree felony, and two others for assault on a peace officer, both felonies of the fourth-degree.

A Highland County deputy sheriff was injured as he dove over a stairs railing outside the courtroom in an attempt to prevent Garrison from escaping.

Donald J. Brake, 27, Dayton, faces a seven-count indictment on drug and weapons charges, which include aggravated trafficking in and aggravated possession of methamphetamine, both second-degree felonies; aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony; having weapons while under disability, a third-degree felony; improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property, both fourth-degree felonies; and a forfeiture specification.
