Youth Committed For Part In Spree

A 15 year old area youth, James Fisher of Franklin, was permanently committed to the Ohio Youth Commission by judges from Highland and Adams counties for his role in a May 1 crime spree. The spree began with robbing Adams County Commissioner Forrest Mason and ended in a gun battle that left one man dead and two wounded. Fisher received an indefinite term after being convicted of aiding and abetting in the assault on Hillsboro policeman Monty Rayburn, who was wounded and who returned fire, killing Walter Brogan Latham, the youth’s uncle. David Chasteen, 22, of Franklin, is jailed on $10,000 bond on two assault-with-a-weapon charges.
