CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio – A 66-year-old woman was booked into the Pickaway County Jail early Thursday on charges that include domestic violence, assault and resisting arrest, according to jail records from the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office.

Robin Montgomery, listed as a white female weighing 120 pounds, was booked at 1:32 a.m. Sept. 24. Her custody status was updated at 6:41 a.m. the same day. She is being held at the Pickaway County Jail.

Charges listed on the booking sheet are:

• Ohio Revised Code 2919.25 – Domestic Violence

• Ohio Revised Code 2903.13 – Assault

• Ohio Revised Code 2921.33 – Resisting Arrest

The resisting arrest charge stands out among the allegations. Under Ohio law, resisting or interfering with a lawful arrest by force or recklessness is typically a second-degree misdemeanor. That carries a maximum of 90 days in jail and a $750 fine. If the resistance causes physical harm to a law enforcement officer, it rises to a first-degree misdemeanor with up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Involvement of a deadly weapon can elevate the charge to a fourth-degree felony, punishable by 6 to 18 months in prison and a fine up to $5,000.

Assault under Ohio Revised Code 2903.13 is generally a first-degree misdemeanor carrying up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, though it can become a felony depending on the victim’s status or other circumstances.

Domestic violence under Ohio Revised Code 2919.25 is most often charged as a first-degree misdemeanor for causing or attempting physical harm to a family or household member, with the same maximum penalties of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Threat-only cases can be a fourth-degree misdemeanor. Prior convictions or other aggravating factors can raise the offense to a felony level.

Full details of the underlying incident are not yet available. Hopewell Heritage Headlines has submitted a public records request for the complete report and is awaiting a response.

All charges remain allegations. Montgomery is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
