Dayton Man Indicted in Mercer County on 25 Counts Including Vehicle Theft, Credit Card Theft, and Fleeing Police

A Dayton man has been indicted by a Mercer County Grand Jury on 25 criminal counts, including multiple theft and trespassing charges, as well as felony counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with police.

According to court records, 22-year-old Davon T. Brandy was indicted on October 16th, 2025, in Mercer County Common Pleas Court. Prosecutors allege the crimes occurred on December 27th, 2023.

The indictment includes one count of grand theft of a motor vehicle, a fourth-degree felony, for allegedly stealing a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Brandy also faces several fifth-degree felony theft charges for reportedly taking multiple credit and debit cards, including a Chase Freedom Visa, Osgood Bank debit Mastercard, and other cards belonging to several victims.

Additional charges include misdemeanor theft, criminal trespass, and one count of failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony. Prosecutors say Brandy willfully fled from law enforcement immediately after committing a felony offense.

In total, Brandy faces:

• 1 count of grand theft of a motor vehicle (F4)

• 6 counts of felony theft (F5)

• 10 counts of misdemeanor theft (M1)

• 4 counts of criminal trespass (M4)

• 1 count of failure to comply with a police officer (F3)

The case, filed under Case No. 25-CRM-144, was presented by Mercer County Prosecutor Erin M. Minor. The indictment was returned as a true bill by the Mercer County Grand Jury.

If convicted on all charges, Brandy could face several years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
