A Chillicothe woman is facing a felony drug charge in Ross County Common Pleas Court following the issuance of a bench warrant in her case.
According to court records, Cheyenne C. Nutt has been charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. The case was filed on January 9, 2026, after a Ross County Grand Jury indictment.
Court documents show that a warrant was issued shortly after the indictment and later served by the Ross County Sheriff’s Office. The defendant was released on bond and placed under pre-trial supervision.
The case was initially considered for drug court, with an orientation scheduled in March 2026. However, records indicate the defendant was not accepted into the program, and the case was returned to the standard court docket.
On April 9, 2026, a bench warrant was filed and issued in the case. The warrant was later returned by the Ross County Sheriff’s Office on April 13, 2026. The reason for the warrant is not specified in the available court records.
As of the most recent update, the case status is listed as reopened, and bond has been set at $25,000.
A status conference is currently scheduled for May 11, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. in Ross County Common Pleas Court.
