Man Pleads Not Guilty to Putnam Robbery

A Zanesville man pled not-guilty Wednesday to two charges related to a Putnam Avenue robbery at gunpoint.

18-year-old Taylor Allen is charged with a first-degree-felony count of aggravated robbery with a firearm specification and felonious assault with a firearm specification in Muskingum County Common Pleas Court.

On April 30th, Zanesville Police say Allen attempted to rob a man in a alley behind 1036 Putnam Avenue. Police at the time said one shot was fired and a man was grazed in the leg.

Judge Kelly Cottrill continued Allen’s bond at $100,000. He remains in the Muskingum County Jail.
