A Highland County grand jury returned indictments in the May session against 28 individuals Wednesday on charges that included receiving stolen property, felonious assault, forgery, tampering with evidence and endangering children.

Over half the indictments — 16 to be exact — were directly related to drug possession.

Timothy J. White, 46, Hillsboro, faces a five-count indictment that involved the alleged use of a stun gun on two juveniles.

The first two counts of felonious assault, both second-degree felonies, allege that from Feb. 1 through April 9, 2021, White used a Runt 20-million volt stun gun on a pair of children, whom the indictment lists as being 10 and 11 years of age at the time.

Counts three and four were third-degree felony charges of endangering children with the indictment alleging that he “did recklessly administer corporal punishment or other physical disciplinary means” against the two children.

The last count in the indictment was tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony.
