Man with bow holds three for deputies

From staff reports
Three men could face charges including trespassing and assault after a Thursday incident in which a man reportedly held them at crossbow point until law enforcement arrived.
Mercer County Sheriff's deputies were called to 5621 Shelley Road in Dublin Township at about 6:52 p.m. on a report of trespassing.
According to dispatch logs, the caller indicated three males had been spotlighting deer in the area, and he advised that he was pointing his crossbow at them.
At some point, one of the males reportedly attacked the caller, but the attacker was briefly knocked unconscious.
Mercer County Sheriff's Capt. Doug Timmerman said no one had been arrested or charged as of Friday.
The case has been forwarded to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office to review possible charges, which could include trespassing, assault or other charges.
