Franklin County

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Columbus man who has been sitting in the Franklin County jail since February picked up two new felony charges this week and was arraigned on them Wednesday.

Wilson appeared Wednesday in Franklin County Municipal Court on the new case while remaining in custody on his earlier February booking. Court filings do not detail the conduct behind the new charges.
