The Stow teen charged in the crimes dubbed the 'Craigslist killings' has agreed to waive a hearing and have charges against him merged in adult felony court, his attorney said Monday.
Brogan Rafferty, the now 17-year-old who is facing adult and juvenile charges in a Craigslist scam, has waived a hearing and agreed to have his charges merged in Summit County Court. According to Rafferty's Attorney John Alexander, the teen will waive his right to a hearing on being tried as an adult Wednesday, which means the teen could face life in prison. Alexander said that would clear the way for juvenile court charges in the deaths of two men to be merged with adult charges originally from Noble County in the death of a third man and an attack on a fourth victim. Rafferty has pleaded not guilty to all charges. A hearing to determine if Rafferty should be charged as an adult in two of the four cases is scheduled for Wednesday and …

On Dec. 4, 2010 a Stow teen took police on a 52-mile high speed chase through several counties in a stolen dump truck.
Remember this? How could you forget a 10-ton red dump truck zipping through Stow and several other cities last December? It's been a year since the teen, who is now considered a serious youthful offender, stole a dump truck and took it on a ride from Stow to Strasburg, hitting everything in his way. It was last reported that he was at a Department of Youth Services at the Sciota Juvenile Correctional Facility to serve a sentence of two years and six months. (He got a six month credit for time already served in the detention center during the trial.) Click here for all of our coverage of the incident that happened 365 days ago. Patch generally does not name juveniles accused of crimes.
