Grand Jury in Hocking County Calls Special Session Thursday
Hocking County grand jurors from the January term will meet Thursday morning in Logan for a special session to review cases since last month. They will probe the Krieg Pharmacy robbery arrests of Arthur Decamp, Donald Lape, Orville Shelton and Orton Rollison, plus hold ups at a Midway filling station and a Ben Fisher incident and a George Rainer auto theft. The jurors may also examine a manslaughter charge against Eugene Summers in the Kathryn Stephenson death near Oroville. The session aims for a same‑day report and is described as an economical move to keep prisoners detained before the April term.
