Grand Jury announces True Bills

The March 2023 term of the Pike County Grand Jury convened March 28 and returned the following presentments. A true bill is a bill of indictment found by a Grand Jury to be supported by sufficient evidence to justify the hearing of a case.

Special presentments are when the District Attorney obtains a warrant or charges a suspect by taking those charges directly to a Grand Jury without an initial arrest on that specific charge. 

There were not any No Bills.
