LIMA, Oh  (WLIO) - An Allen County jury has found a man guilty of one of the two charges he faced.

Wheeler and the woman had a prior relationship. However, in the alleged incident that occurred a year ago, prosecutors say Wheeler held the woman against her will and sexually assaulted her and stole from her.

Wheeler will be sentenced on the robbery charge in March.
