November 19, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio AMBER Alert Advisory Committee: COLUMBUS – The Ohio AMBER Alert Advisory Committee is reminding Ohioans that leaving unattended children in running vehicles, even for a brief period of time, can result in stranger abductions requiring an AMBER Alert activation. From 2021 through 2024, of the 48 total AMBER alert activations in Ohio initiated by either the Ohio State Highway Patrol or Cuyahoga Emergency Communications System, six involved children being left in stolen vehicles. These six stranger abductions were all the result of individuals, whether they were parents, guardians or caretakers, leaving children in running vehicles while the adult entered places of business for short periods of time. Activities included picking up pizzas, getting items at gas stations and dropping off siblings at day care or preschool. Each incident led to AMBER Alert activations because children were left unattended in running vehicles.

Jurors found him not guilty on the kidnapping charge, but instead, they found him guilty on the reduced charge of abduction. They also found him not guilty of rape, but guilty of gross sexual imposition. Back in 2021, Catlett allegedly held a man against his will and had sexual contact with him.

37-year-old Bryant Rose was found guilty by an Allen County jury in October for hitting his then-girlfriend in the head with a gun and bit her after he trapped her in the bathroom. Rose was out on bond until he was set to be sentenced last month, but a bench warrant was issued for him when he failed a required drug test before his original sentencing date. Rose says he was drunk when the assault and the abduction took place and his addictions led him down this path.

According to testimony during his trial, in January of 2021, Rose allegedly hit his then-girlfriend in the head with a gun and bit her, after he trapped her in the bathroom. The bench warrant was issued on rose before his sentencing when he failed a required drug test after he was found guilty.

37-year-old Bryant Rose has been charged with felonious assault, abduction, and having a weapon under disability. The Lima Police Department says that back on January 29th of 2021, officers were called out to the 600 block of Fourth Street, where a man barricaded himself inside a house with a hostage. 

56-year-old Timothy Kohlhorst was indicted on charges of rape, gross sexual imposition, sexual battery, abduction, and burglary. Court documents say the offense happened at the beginning of the month. In September, Kohlhorst will be taken to the Forensic Psychiatry Center in Dayton for an evaluation. 

According to the Allen County Sheriff's Office, Christopher Lemke was charged with one count of abduction. On the night of August 17th, deputies were sent to the 5,000 block of St. Johns Road for a menacing complaint. They say Lemke had a gun and fired shots into the air at the home and according to his wife, she and their kids were not allowed to leave the property. Detectives continued to review the incident and they decided to arrest Lemke days later.

Tyler was booked into the Allen County Jail on charges of Abduction, Assault, Resisting Arrest, Obstruction Official Business, and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.
