LISBON -- An East Liverpool man found guilty of assault, domestic violence and aggravated menacing filed an appeal Thursday to challenge the outcome of the three separate cases against him.
Charles L. Payne II, 43, Park Boulevard, East Liverpool, had the appeal filed on his behalf in the Seventh District Court of Appeals by attorney Rhys Brendan Cartwright-Jones against the final judgment entry, its within rulings and sentence from March 27, 2024 in Columbiana County Municipal Court.
Visiting Judge Robert Lavery, who was appointed to handle the cases, fined Payne $500 and sentenced him to 180 days in jail, with 169 days suspended and credit for one day served, leaving a balance of 10 days to serve in jail. He was ordered to complete 40 hours community service.
Execution of the jail sentence was stayed pending notice of appeal and pending the posting of an appellate bond of $30,000 cash or surety or 10 percent.
The aggravated menacing and domestic violence charges against Payne alleged he threatened a woman and made the woman's relative believe he would cause serious physical harm to her and others, threatening to shoot them all on Dec. 30, 2023 in East Liverpool. He later on the same day pushed a 76-year-old victim aside in an aggressive manner during a disturbance at an East Palestine residence after he followed the woman from East Liverpool into West Virginia, then to East Palestine.
