Stahr was indicted on one count of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault.

A Findlay man has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly severely beating a woman last month. 42-year-old Brandon Treece was indicted by a Hancock County Grand Jury on the charges of attempted murder and felonious assault.  According to the police incident report, officers responded to an assault call on November 18^th, where a woman came to the door with injuries to her face.  She was taken to the hospital.  She named Treece as the person that hurt her and he may have a machete. Officers arrested Treece at another residence.  He is currently in the Hancock County Jail.

Charles Castle was sentenced to 48 years to life in prison, in July of this year. Earlier this week he was declared indigent, and will now be represented by attorney Howard Elliot of Findlay. Castle was convicted on multiple charges, including kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder.

According to the prosecutors, back in November of 2021, Castle went to the Kenton home of the 7-year-old girl, got her to go outside, and get into his van. He then proceeded to take her to his trailer, where he allegedly had sexual contact with her and strangled her. Even though he was talking to law enforcement and being questioned about the missing girl during the search, he moved the girl from his trailer to an abandoned home outside of Kenton and tossed her down the stairs to the basement.

Castle was convicted on seven counts of kidnapping, one count of rape, one count of attempted murder, one count of felonious assault, one count of breaking and entering, one count of endangering children, one count of burglary, and three counts of tampering with evidence.

Castle is facing multiple charges including aggravated attempted murder, rape, and 6 counts of kidnapping. Law enforcement officials say that Castle allegedly took the 7-year-old from her home in Kenton. Following a search, she was found the next day in an empty house outside of Kenton. The trial was expected to last a couple of weeks but could have a verdict a little over a week after it started.

Jury selection has begun for the trial of a Hardin County man charged with kidnapping a 7-year-old girl in 2021.

After a new mental evaluation, 25-year-old Kevin Stahr was again found to be not competent to stand trial. Stahr was indicted on one count of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault. On June 4th of 2021, Stahr took a knife and stabbed his mother multiple times. Someone was able to distract Stahr long enough for her to get away and call the police. Stahr will be re-evaluated in a year to see if his mental status changes.
