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.
