A Lawrence County Grand Jury returned indictments Tuesday, charging three Ironton men in connection with stolen storage containers.

Prosecuting Attorney Brigham Anderson said an employee with Ironton business Storage on the Spot was allegedly involved in the theft of at least nine storage containers.

“The investigation has been ongoing for a while and the investigation will continue,” Anderson said.

Indicted in connection with the alleged thefts were David Markel, 50, of 2415 S. Eighth St., Ironton, nine counts of theft, a count of tampering with evidence and a count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity; Bruce Justice, 58, of 351 Private Road 1358, Ironton, two counts of receiving stolen property and a count of tampering with evidence; and Larry Justice, 52, of 221 Private Road 1385, Ironton, two counts of receiving stolen property.

Also indicted this week were three Ironton teens allegedly involved in the break-in and theft from Ironton bar and restaurant Frogtown.

• Jerry Ray Blevins, 18, of 629 S. Eighth St. Apt B, was indicted on counts of breaking and entering and tampering with evidence.

• Jodi Blevins, 19, and Christopher Dickerson, 18, both of 4302 State Route 141, were each indicted on a count of receiving stolen property.

Employees at Frogtown reported in May that the bar had been broken into and about $15,000 was stolen, of which $6,000 had been raised during a poker run Memorial Day weekend to go for the Wounded Warriors Project.
