A Logan County jury convicted Brandon P. Whitt Tuesday, April 23, on charges of tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree, aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the fifth degree, and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, a misdemeanor of the first degree, Logan County Court of Common Pleas Judge Kevin P. Braig reported.
The charges arose from an incident on Sept. 5, 2022, when Washington Township police officer Earl Wisener saw Whitt driving under suspended license.
The defendant did not stop immediately after being signaled to do so. The jury found that while Whitt continued to drive, he discarded methamphetamine from his vehicle.
The State of Ohio was represented by Logan County Assistant Prosecutor Stacia Rapp.
The defendant was represented by defense counsel John Cunningham of Dayton.
