Burgess said the allegation begins in 2013 through 2018. He explained she was responsible for financials of the troops account, which included things like cookie sales, money for dues and renewals, and other activities.
The prosecutor said Gauthier is accused of stealing more than $12,000 from the troop. He noted their agency is working with the Ohio Attorney General s Office in investigating the case.
Licking County court records show Gauthier s attorney, Donald Roberts, requested an opportunity to apply for the prosecutor s office diversion program on her behalf. An arraignment is scheduled for May in the case.
Gauthier was released on her own recognizance with conditions, court records show.
Newark Advocate
NEWARK - A Newark woman was sentenced to 18 to 23.5 years in prison on Tuesday for her role in a shooting that killed a Columbus man in 2019.
Brianna K. Lohr, 24, of Newark, pleaded guilty to one count each involuntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery, both first-degree felonies, in Licking County Common Pleas Court.
Assistant Licking County Prosecutor Paula Sawyers said on Aug. 7, 2019, Newark police was called to the area of Elmwood Avenue for a reported shooting. The victim, later identified as 28-year-old Matthew Helman, of Columbus, was shot in the side and was pronounced dead at Licking Memorial Hospital.
The prosecutor said Lohr and co-defendant Delaney Daniels needed money, so Lohr contacted Helman s girlfriend to meet them under the guise of buying drugs from her when the couple intended on robbing her when she arrived. Sawyers noted Lohr gave Daniels her gun to use during the robbery.
