Highland County Common Pleas Court Judge Rocky Coss sentenced Cluxton to a definite determinate term of 24 months, with jail time credit for 120 days, after finding Cluxton guilty of felonious assault, a second-degree felony, and a forfeiture specification. Cluxton was represented by attorney Jacob D. Wagoner.

As previously reported in The Highland County Press, on March 8 at approximately 4 p.m., the Hillsboro Police Department responded to a call in reference to a person being shot with an arrow from a bow. The victim was treated locally, then transported to Miami Valley Hospital in critical condition.

A Highland County grand jury returned an indictment May 1 charging Cluxton with two counts of felonious assault and one count of endangering children, a first-degree misdemeanor, along with the forfeiture specification.

The case was placed on the inactive docket in June until Cluxton was found competent to stand trial.
