Overview
- Geauga County sheriff’s detectives arrested Ricky Lee Martin, 43, of Canton in Bainbridge Township on Thursday on a first-degree felony count of complicity to commit aggravated robbery.
- Investigators say Martin worked as an Amish taxi driver and scouted Amish-owned properties, and they urged anyone who used him and later suffered a theft or burglary to contact detectives at 440-286-1234.
- Three other suspects — Bradford James Hosler of Canton, William Luke Hatfield of Massillon, and Randall Keither Cromer of Doylestown — were previously arrested in the Oct. 9 attack.
- Authorities say the group posed as customers, used a stun device, assaulted the business owner and his 8-year-old son, attempted to abduct the boy, and stole about $5,000.
- Hatfield and Cromer are scheduled for a 10 a.m. hearing Friday in Chardon Municipal Court, and investigators say flock cameras helped track a stolen truck linked to the crime.
