The man who allegedly assaulted a Belpre resident last month was indicted this week by the Washington County Grand Jury.

John Lloyd Mace, 40, homeless, was indicted on one count of felonious assault, a second-degree felony, and one count of trespass in a habitation when a person is present or likely to be present, a fourth-degree felony.

According to an affidavit of facts filed by the Belpre Police Department, while an officer was on patrol June 9, he was dispatched to 901 Leonard Ave. in reference to a man named “Tim” running over to the caller’s house, reporting he was assaulted.

When the officer arrived, Timothy Cowan appeared to be injured with severe swelling and redness on the right side of his face and eye. He said he lives at 816 Leonard Ave. and stated he was helping a guy out, or so he thought, stated the affidavit.

Earlier in the day, an unknown man (identified as John L. Mace) approached him and asked if he could charge his cell phone, the report stated. Mace was reportedly allowed to charge the phone on the front patio of the house, which is not enclosed within the house. The man complained about girlfriend problems, the report noted.

Mace told Cowan he was hungry and had nowhere to go, the report stated. Cowan gave him some food and let him sleep on the front patio, the report stated.

Later that night, Mace allegedly broke into Cowan’s home and asked where his girlfriend was, because he knew she was there. He allegedly began repeatedly hitting Cowan in the face about 15 times.

After the police arrived, Belpre EMS took Cowan to Belpre Marietta Memorial Hospital ER for treatment, where they found his injuries included a nasal bone fracture, the report noted.

Police learned Mace was on post release supervision with Meigs County Adult Parole Authority. He was arrested June 15 and remains at the Washington County Jail.

The other 20 true billed defendants include:

¯ Ronald L. Mayle, 60, of 25 Southland Cemetery Road, was indicted on one count of importuning and one count of possessing criminal tools, both fifth-degree felonies. He was arrested June 15 after a search warrant executed at his residence reportedly provided evidence of messaging what he believed was a 15-year-old with sexually explicit conversation and nude photographs.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Mayle tried to arrange to pick up the juvenile after dark, tried to arrange for the juvenile to come to his house for “sex” on multiple occasions, and sent a picture of his private area to the “juvenile.” Mayle had also asked the “juvenile” to delete the Facebook conversations on several occasions because he did not want to get in trouble.
