December 21, 2018 – A Delaware County Grand Jury has returned an eight-count indictment against 32-year-old William Ryan Yerian of Oak Hill, Ohio.
Yerian was part of a moving crew for several customers who later reported jewelry missing to Columbus police.
“In one instance, the defendant asked to use the restroom in the master suite,” said Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O’Brien. “The homeowners later discovered a custom-made engagement ring was missing from that area of the home.”
Other items reported missing from various victims include a cluster ring and diamond pendant, a wedding ring, and a blue sapphire ring with diamond accents.
“All the jewelry was located at a Columbus pawn shop,” O’Brien said. “It has all been returned to the rightful owners.”
An arraignment hearing for Yerian has been set for February 8, 2019.
