Man shot by Ohio trooper in Middletown wanted on warrant

A 22-year-old man shot Thursday night by an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper was wanted on a warrant out of Middletown Municipal Court, according to court records.

Devon Marion, 22, of Plymouth Street and formerly of Madison Twp., was scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 6 for a charge of driving under suspension. He was cited by Middletown police at 2:30 a.m. July 27, according to police records.

Marion did not show up for arraignment, and court personnel said an additional bench warrant was in the process of being issued. But Marion was already wanted for failure to comply for fleeing the scene of an accident conviction in September 2018.

Marion also has court charges in Middletown dating back to January 2018 for no operator’s license, driving under suspension, non compliance and disorderly conduct.

He is in Miami Valley Hospital in stable condition after being shot twice by Trooper Michael Williams.

Williams, 27, is a five-year veteran of the force, beginning his career at the Lebanon post before moving to the Hamilton post in July 2017, patrol Lt. Robert Sellers said.
