The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office says they received a call at around 9 a.m. on Tuesday about a man walking down State Route 140 that looked like he was beaten up. They say the man was covered in blood.

The man told deputies that he and another man had been taken to a house on Ainsley Ave. in Wheelersburg where they were both tied down with zip ties, according to a release from the sheriff’s office. The release goes on to say that the man told deputies that several people beat him and the other man with their fists, feet, and a weapon.

Deputies found the second victim after the first man was taken to the hospital for treatment. The second victim corroborated the story.

Deputies obtained a search warrant for the house on Ainsley Ave. and processed the crime scene. The sheriff’s office says that three suspects were arrested without incident.

23-year-old Kaleb M. Dixon, of Wheelersburg, was charged with two counts of felonious assault, two counts of kidnapping, one count of tampering with evidence, and a parole violation. He is being held without bond.
