MUSKINGUM COUNTY, Ohio — Seven criminal cases were filed July 16 in Muskingum County Court against Dylan M. Padgett, court records show. The filings identify alleged conduct dated July 4 and remain listed as pending. A Muskingum County Sheriff's Office jail record identifies the booked person as Dylan Michael Padgett and lists the same base docket number, CRA2600418.

Court records divide that base number into cases CRA2600418A through CRA2600418G. The felony allegations are third-degree felony abduction under Section 2905.02(A)(2), fourth-degree felony disrupting public service under Section 2909.04(A)(3), and third-degree felony extortion under Section 2905.11(D)(1). The misdemeanor allegations are one first-degree domestic-violence count under Section 2919.25(A), two fourth-degree domestic-violence counts under Section 2919.25(C), and one second-degree criminal-damaging count under Section 2909.06(A)(1).

The sheriff's jail roster records Padgett's booking at the Muskingum County Jail at 12:47 a.m. July 16, with the booking origin listed as the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office. That roster lists six allegation lines under the unsuffixed docket number; the court index separately lists seven suffixed cases, including two entries under Section 2919.25(C).

Entries dated July 20 in case CRA2600418A scheduled a preliminary hearing for 11:30 a.m. July 24, stated that a temporary protection order was issued, and set a $250,000 cash, property or surety bond. The jail roster also lists a total bond of $250,000. A bond amount is a release condition and does not establish whether bond was posted or whether a defendant was released.

All seven cases were marked pending when Registry Recognizer reviewed the official records on July 22. The filings are allegations, not findings of guilt. Padgett is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
