Hill Cleared of Charges by Athens Grand Jury
James Hill was not indicted on concealed weapon charges after a .38 revolver was found in his car. The grand jury also cleared him of any illegalities tied to a Thompson submachine gun reportedly given by Nelsonville Police Chief Max Valkinburg to Hill, a licensed gun dealer. The panel indicted John Misner and Randolph Hale, while not indicting Katie Bowers and Nelson Gary Milliken. The jurors also toured the county and city jails as part of a study led by County Prosecutor Claire M. Ball Jr. to explore potential county city detention facility combining options.
