A grand jury in Highland County Common Pleas Court did not return an indictment on a Greenfield man who was arrested following a fight in July at Christopher's Lounge.
According to a report from the Hillsboro Police Department, Chase Gillenwater, 20, of Greenfield was in the bar with Jamie Greene, 39, of Leesburg and another man. Allen Greene, husband of Jamie Greene, was reported to have waited outside the bar. When Gillenwater attempted to leave, the altercation began with Allen Greene reportedly assaulting Gillenwater. Jamie Greene was head-butted by Allen Greene. Gillenwater reportedly produced a razor knife and cut Allen Greene in the face and chest, requiring stitches. Allen Greene was treated at Highland District Hospital.
Gillenwater was incarcerated and charged with three counts of felonious assault, felonies of the second degree.
The grand jury met Tuesday and, according to a motion to dismiss filed by Highland County Prosecutor Anneka Collins, "returned a no bill in this matter."
On Wednesday, Highland County Common Please Court Judge Rocky Coss signed a dismissal entry that stated "good cause was shown ... after the Highland County grand jury returned a no bill for indictment."
Greene had pleaded guilty to first-degree misdemeanor assault on July 14. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with 60 days suspended.
