STEUBENVILLE — A Jefferson County grand jury Wednesday ordered five people to stand trial, including a Brilliant man who allegedly raped a young girl and another who allegedly fired a gun into a Sinclair Avenue home.

The grand jury also indicted a Steubenville man who allegedly kicked his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach and then locked her out of the house in below freezing weather with an infant who had no protection from the cold.

Superseding indictments were returned against five other individuals, meaning the charges against them were adjusted to reflect developments in their cases since they were originally indicted.

Facing felony charges of rape and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor is Dustin Shane Crokie, 500 Wallace St., Lot 1, Brilliant.

The indictment alleges Crokie, 29, used force or the threat of force to compel a girl aged 13-16 to have sex during a four-month period in May. Crokie also is charged with violating a protection order, a misdemeanor.

Ordered to stand trial on charges of domestic violence, a felony, and misdemeanor endangering children was Tomaro Allen Pulliam, 402 Spring Ave., Steubenville.

Authorities said Pulliam, 29, was charged with kicking his pregnant girlfriend in her stomach and her back, choking her and throwing her to the ground on Dec. 9. He also allegedly locked the alleged victim and her 8-month-old baby out of the house in 10-degree weather when the baby wasn’t dressed appropriately for it, they said.

Two separate indictments were returned against Nizjee N. Feaster, 213 Christopher Ave., Wintersville. On July 18, Feaster, 19, allegedly discharged a firearm into the Sinclair Avenue residence, putting multiple people inside at risk of harm in an incident that authorities say appears to have been gang-related. Feaster and a co-defendant, Tray’marr Thomas-Dudel Moten, 21, allegedly believed someone inside the residence had fired a shot at Moten, so the two of them “drove back and shot at the house,” authorities said.

Moten pleaded guilty in August to having a weapon under disability and improperly discharging a firearm into a structure or a school zone. He was sentenced to no less than four years behind bars, with the potential to remain in custody for up to six years.

A second indictment alleges Feaster punched a Steubenville police officer who was trying to keep him away from another man with whom he’d been fighting at the downtown Speedway Dec. 23. Police at the time reported they’d had to take a glass bottle out of Feaster’s hand and walk him away from the other man and described him as “screaming and (behaving) aggressively” and claimed he shoved the officer, then punched him in the side of his head. Authorities suggest Feaster was intoxicated at the time of the alleged assault.

Grand jurors also returned an indictment charging 60-year-old Edward Garibay of Plum, Pa., with unauthorized use of a computer, cable or telecommunications device, a felony, as well as a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized use of property. The two-count indictment alleges Garibay feloniously hacked into the computers at Team Ford on May 16 and rerouted calls to another dealership in the area.

The indictment also alleges Garibay used a computer, phone or cable network without the consent of the owners, Team Ford and the village of Wintersville, “for the purpose of devising or executing a scheme to defraud or to obtain property or services.”

Superseding indictments were returned in the cases of:

• Brandon Keith Colliers, 49, 112 Brandywine Circle East, Wintersville, aggravated possession of drugs and having weapons under disability, both felonies. The updated indictment specifies the drug in question is methamphetamine, authorities maintain. It was originally believed to be ecstasy, authorities said.

*Morgan Louise Gibson, 31, Rosemount, Minn., tampering with evidence and aggravated possession of ecstasy, both felonies. The updated identifies the substance as Ecstasy, authorities said. It originally was believed to be methamphetamine.

• Quasean Jamar Townsend, 64, 2865 Wilson Ave., Mingo Junction, possession of cocaine, possession of a fentanyl-related compound and two counts of trafficking cocaine, all felonies. The superseding indictment adds forfeiture specifications for $2,380 in her possession at the time of her arrest, authorities said.

• Kory Scott Woods, 34, 51 E. Main St., Adena, and Michael Reynolds, 53, 49721 York Road, Adena. The pair had been accused of grand theft, a Polaris 500, and misdemeanor theft, a tractor, in June. The superseding indictment dropped the grand theft charge. Their case will now be returned to county court for disposition.
