Man, 27, confesses to burglaries in 5 counties

A 27-year-old man suspected of breaking into numerous grain elevators and other local businesses in Mercer County has confessed to committing burglaries in northern Darke County as well as three other counties in Ohio.

Douglas N. Fonner of Mendon, Ohio, was being interviewed by detectives from both counties on Monday when he offered his confession, the Darke County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.

Fonner confessed that in the early morning hours of Jan. 5, he broke into Birt’s Store and Mercer Landmark in New Weston and Moody’s Auto Service in Ansonia. He also confessed that on Dec. 21, 2011, he broke into True Point Elevator in Osgood.  All four businesses are in Darke County.

During the same interview, Fonner confessed to break-ins at businesses throughout Auglaize, Darke, Mercer, Shelby and Van Wert counties beginning in November 2011.

Based on the information obtained during the investigations, the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office will file multiple counts on charges of breaking and entering as well as theft. Still, the investigation into these cases will continue, the sheriff’s office said.

Former Shelby County sheriff gets trial date set

On Friday, a judge in Auglaize County set a trial date in the sexual battery case that is pending against suspended Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel.

On Sept. 21, Kimpel was arraigned on a charge of sexual battery.

Auglaize County Common Pleas Judge Frederick Pepple set the trial date for May 7, and it is expected to last for four days.

Kimpel's accuser is former deputy Jodi Van Fossen. If convicted, Kimpel could receive the maximum charge of five years in prison and/or a $10,000.

Before the Auglaize County case, Kimpel is scheduled to go on trial in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on five counts of unauthorized use of a law enforcement computer. That trial is set for April 3-5.

Kimpel is currently free on bond and suspended as sheriff with pay.
