While a Ravenna Township man recovers from his injuries and faces potential charges after being shot by a Portage County sheriff s deputy, four deputies remain on paid leave as they wait for the conclusion of an investigation into the shooting.
How long the investigation will take, really depends on the complexity of each investigation,” said Steve Irwin, a spokesman for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
The AG’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting in the investigation into the shooting of 43-year-old Kody M. Osco while deputies were at his Route 14 home to arrest him on a warrant on May 12.
Deputies went to Cody Osco’s home at 5387 Route 14 to arrest him on outstanding warrants for failure to appear, intimidation of a crime victim, public indecency, criminal damaging and trespass in a habitation, the sheriff’s office posted on its Facebook page Wednesday afternoon.
According to a release by Chief Deputy Ralph Spidalieri, officers were granted entrance into the home and found Osco in the basement. Spidalieri did not say who allowed officers into the home. According to the sheriff s office, Osco had cautions attached to his warrant for drugs and drug abuse, escape, domestic violence and felonious assault. The sheriff s office said Osco pulled a knife and, after several commands to drop it, he refused. He then allegedly lunged at deputies causing one deputy to discharge his firearm, injuring Osco.
