Roommates charged with kidnapping

Darnell K. Aubrey, 33, and Russell Ratleff, 43, were two of 23 people indicted this month by a Logan County Common Pleas Court grand jury.

Mr. Aubrey faces charges of kidnapping, a first-degree felony; felonious assault, a second-degree felony; and domestic violence, a third-degree felony; while Mr. Ratleff was indicted for complicity to kidnapping, a first-degree felony; and obstructing justice, a third-degree felony.

Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded to the men’s shared 308 E. Center St. home about 5:50 p.m. March 15 to an assault complaint.

Mr. Ratleff answered the door at the home, and deputies asked him whether the assault victim, Whitney Davis, 34, of that address, was at home. Mr. Ratleff said Ms. Davis rented a room from him, but claimed that he had not seen her that day.

After further investigation, deputies determined that Mr. Ratleff had two Logan County Family Court warrants for his arrest. Upon further questioning, Mr. Ratleff allowed deputies to search the residence.

Deputies found that Ms. Davis had been in a second floor room, and she was visibly upset and had visible injuries.

She reportedly had been assaulted by her live-in boyfriend and was treated for her injuries at Mary Rutan Hospital.
