STEUBENVILLE — A man who allegedly poured gasoline on his neighbor’s house so he could set it on fire and another who allegedly tried to knock a motorcyclist off his bike with a piece of wood were among 10 people indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury Wednesday.

The list of 10 included a superceding indictment against an individual whose charges were updated after authorities learned the weight and the content were different than originally believed.

Ordered to stand trial on charges of attempted aggravated arson and assault was Stanley G. Minch, 1246 Lincoln Ave., Steubenville.

Minch, 60, allegedly doused a neighbor’s home in gasoline and threatened to set it on fire Nov. 8 in Steubenville.

Authorities reported they’d responded to multiple calls to the same location earlier that day and said Minch’s neighbors had told them at one point he claimed they were drug dealers and was standing “in the middle of the roadway threatening them, stating that he would shoot them and also beat them.” They also maintain Minch “tried to injure the two police officers who were sent (to the location) to take him into custody.”

Others facing trial:

• Richard Dale Law, 32, 331 S. Main St., Amsterdam, felonious assault.

Authorities allege Law was “frustrated” by the noise a man was making riding his motorcycle up and down an Amsterdam street on Oct. 19 and “took a piece of wood and swung it at the motorcyclist.” They suggest the motorcyclist saw Law swinging the wood and “ducked and swerved” and instead hit his passenger, “breaking his jaw and, when he fell off the bike, his scapula.”

• Isaiah Andrew Pavlic, 28, 220 Winters Drive, Wintersville, retaliation and obstructing official business, both felonies, plus misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Authorities maintain Pavlic was involved in a disturbance at a Wintersville location Dec. 17 and when police told him to leave the property, “he started screaming at them” and refused to calm down, allegedly launching a graphic, derogatory and expletive-laced tirade portraying himself as a gang member, insisting they “would have to shoot him” and threatening to stab them and kill everyone in the jail.

The indictment alleges in addition to obstructing his own arrest and threatening harm to the officers taking him into custody, Pavlik “recklessly caused inconvenience, annoyance or alarm to another by engaging in fighting, threatening harm to persons or property or in violent or turbulent behavior,” even after he’d been warned that he needed to calm down.

• James Christopher Pruitt, 129 Richard Ave., Apt. 4, Wintersville, possession of cocaine, a felony, along with misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Authorities allege Pruitt, 35, was spotted “stumbling in the middle of the roadway” in downtown Steubenville Nov. 22, and when they questioned him said he’d “just left the High Hat.” After they confirmed he didn’t have any outstanding warrants police had reported Pruitt started walking away, despite their instructions to the contrary due to concerns for his safety.

Police claim Pruitt had more than 10 grams of cocaine in his possession at the time of his arrest.

• Eric Joseph Anderson, 34, 3290 county Road 39, Bloomingdale, domestic violence, Dec. 13.

Anderson was already on probation for domestic violence when he allegedly assaulted the same female family member. Authorities said the woman still had the scar on her neck from the previous encounter, to which he’d pleaded guilty.

• Christopher Javon Frierson, 37, Euclid, Ohio, two felony counts of grand theft on Dec. 13.

Authorities allege Frierson sold two Jefferson County residents trying to start their own business a Bobcat on Facebook Marketplace, negotiating a purchase price of $16,000. The Bobcat, reported stolen from Cleveland, was GPS-equipped and its owners were able to track it to Jefferson County.

• Dean Craig Mitchell, 64, 2865 Wilson Ave., Mingo Junction, and Quasean Jamar Townsend, 31, Cleveland, indicted separately on felony charges of possession of cocaine, possession of a fentanyl-related compound and trafficking cocaine.

The pair allegedly sold cocaine to an informant on Dec. 9 and when authorities searched their house, reported finding at least 27 grams of cocaine and 40 grams of fentanyl “hidden under the couch cushions.”

Prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of $2,380 in cash they found in Mitchell’s possession believed to be proceeds of the alleged trafficking operation.

• Kyle Walderker, 37, 514 Wallace St., Brilliant, aggravated possession of methamphetamine, a felony, on Dec. 19.

Grand jurors also returned a superceding indictment in the case of Leroy Darnell Benjamin 37, 1056 Adams St., Steubenville.

Benjamin had originally been indicted in November on charges of having weapons under disability, tampering with evidence and possession of cocaine, with specifications seeking forfeiture of $1,635 in cash found in his possession as well as his gray Taurus.

The superceding indictment updated the quantity of drugs involved and also charged Benjamin with trafficking fentanyl.
