On Thursday February 11, 2010 at 11:57 a.m., Highland County sheriff deputies stopped a motor vehicle on S.R. 28 near Ringer Lane in Fairfield Township, in connection with ongoing investigation into residential burglary and theft cases in Highland, Fayette and Ross Counties over the past several months.

As the vehicle was stopped two occupants exited the vehicle and fled into a field. deputies and a HCSO K-9 gave pursuit and both were apprehended after a short foot pursuit. The two taken into custody were identified as Michael
W. Certain, 29, of Greenfield and Jesse M. Binegar, 27, of Greenfield.

A search of the vehicle revealed two firearms which were later identified as those taken in a residential burglary in the City of Greenfield which occurred on February 10, 2010. Both Certain and Binegar were found to have outstanding warrants from Highland County Court in Greenfield.

Both Certain and Binegar were taken to the Highland County Justice Center where they were charged with Receiving Stolen Property (Felony 4), Resisting Arrest(M-1) and Binegar was additionally charged with possession of a firearm under a criminal disability (Felony 3).

Both are being held at the HCJC with Binegars bond set at $250,000 and Certains bond set at $75,000. Both will be arraigned on February 16, 2010 in Hillsboro Municipal Court on the most recent charges and then both will be arraigned on February 17, 2010 in Couty Court in Greenfield on the outstanding warrants.

HCSO detectives will be working with area law enforcement in their continuing investigation into the recent burglaries and will be meeting with Highland County Prosecutor Jim Grandey who will present this case and other cases to an upcoming session of the Highland County Grand Jury that may be solved as a result of these arrests. Other arrests are possible in the future as detectives continue their investigation.[[In-content Ad]]
