UHRICHSVILLE — Jeffrey Lynn Hines, the 24-year-old Port Washing ton man who walked into the Tuscarawas County sheriff’s office in New Philadelphia and said he had beaten his father with a pipe and left him for dead, was bound over to the grand jury at the conclusion of a pre-trial hearing Tuesday in Southern District Court. He pre viously had pleaded innocent to charges of felonious assault and robbery Hines is accused of hitting his father, Dalton Hines, 68, on the head with a tail pipe at their County Rd. 27 home last Thursday and taking his change purse and car. The elder Hines is in guarded condition in the surgical intensive care unit at Aultman Hospital in Canton. Judge Hudson Hillyer continued bond at $50,000 and demanded Hines to the county jail, denying a request from his attorneys, Terry McGonegal and Will Hanner of the public defenders’ office, that he be sent to the State Mental Health and Developmental Center at Cambridge for observation and evaluation. Hillyer agreed with assistant pro secuting attorney David Hipp that the center might not be able to secure Hines Deputy Frank Lehman testified that Hines walked into the sheriff's office about 3:50 p.m. Thursday and asked if there were any warrants against him. Lehman said he told Hines there were — from Southern District Court for failure to pay back fines. Lehman said Hines walked out of the office, but came back about 20 minutes later and said ‘‘someone’s dead but he’s still breathing.” Deputy Fred White, who was dispatched to the scene, testified he found Dalton Hines unconscious, ly ing on his side near a chicken coop on the farm with blood running from his head. White said an ambulance was called and Hines was taken first to Twin City Hospital at Dennison and then to Aultman Lehman also testified that while the younger Hines was at the police station, he said several times that his father ‘‘was beating the dog for chasing the horses, so I hit him,’ adding, ‘‘That’s self-defense, isn’t it?’’ Lehman said Hines told him he had taken his father’s change purse because he needed money for ciga rettes and that he had driven his father’s car to the sheriff’s office Hines did not testify.
