With no plea agreement in sight, the case against a man accused of grabbing a child at a Sandusky thrift store last August will proceed as planned.
That was the consensus at Andrew Jewell’s status conference Wednesday morning, with his court-appointed attorney Eric Scott advising that the case should proceed.
Jewell, last in court in December, is charged with attempted unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping/child enticement and assault/battery after trying to drag an 8-year-old girl into the bathroom of the local Hope Thrift Store in late August 2023.
Currently, the trial is still planned for two days starting this coming May 9th, at 9:30 a.m., with the next hearing for the case being the final pretrial on April 24 at 10:30 a.m.
