Striblin Sentenced
A Muskingum County judge has found Elijah Striblin guilty of violations of his community control and sentenced the man to one year in prison.
The ruling by Judge Kelly Cottrill follows two days of hearings. The Muskingum County Prosecutor’s Office said in 2022, Striblin was at a bar and got into a dispute with another man and shot him in the neck.
Striblin was convicted of illegally possessing a firearm in a liquor permit premises and inducing panic. He was placed on community control in February of 2023.
The prosecutor’s office said since then Striblin failed to comply with him community control by driving multiple times without a license, being dishonest with his probation officer, breaking curfew, moving to Columbus without permission, smoking marijuana and not reporting when he lost his employment.
He also returned to the location of the crime even though he was prohibited from being present on the premises.
