FREMONT — A court hearing is scheduled today concerning a motion to revoke bond for Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer, who is facing multiple felony drug, theft, and record-tampering charges.

Special prosecutor Carol Hamilton O’Brien of Delaware County this week argued in a motion that the bond should be revoked, claiming Sheriff Overmyer contacted and intimidated witnesses, contacted sheriff’s office staff, bought a crossbow, changed addresses without notifying the court, and wiped a computer clean before turning it in.

Sheriff Overmyer was indicted Aug. 23 on 43 counts — 38 of which are felonies — based on allegations he abused prescription drugs, stole funds, lied to police departments that he had Drug Enforcement Administration authority to collect drug take-back boxes, and retaliated against witnesses.

Visiting Judge Patricia Cosgrove set bond at $150,000 with the option of paying 10 percent.

If bond is revoked during the hearing in Sandusky County Common Pleas Court, Sheriff Overmyer would be placed in jail. He is challenged in Tuesday’s election by independents James Consolo and Christopher Hilton. His attorney said the bond-revocation motion was timed to influence the election.
