Six adults and six juveniles face aggravated riot charges in connection with a large gang-related brawl at Marion Juvenile Correctional Facility on Jan. 24.
Officials at the youth prison vowed to seek charges to “send a message” to others at the facility, the home of nearly 300 of Ohio’s worst juvenile offenders.
Six youths, all 18 years old, were indicted recently on aggravated riot charges by a Marion County grand jury. Prosecutor Jim Slagle also filed delinquency counts of aggravated riot against five 17-year-olds and one 16-year-old.
The complaints against the juveniles seek to bind them over to Common Pleas Court for sentencing as adults. Aggravated riot is a third-degree felony carrying one to five years in prison.
