Calhoun ordered to complete risk assessment in felony drug, theft cases

Tyler Calhoun appeared in court for two criminal cases against him. The first case for grand theft of a motor vehicle, a felony in the fifth degree. The second case is for two charges of aggravated possession of drugs, felonies in the second degree, and one charge of posession of drug abuse instruments, a misdemeanor in the second degree.

Judge Shawn Hervey began proceedings as normal, indicating who was present in the courtroom for the record and briefly explaining the reason for the hearing, “We’re here today for a pretrial conference, The parties have talked about the case. Looks like the defendant received discovery back on July 4, 2025.”

Calhoun interrupted the judge to say he has not received any discovery as of yet.

“Well, you haven’t seen it but your attorney has,” Hervey said. “That’s what I’m saying. So here’s the process: I’m updating the record on what’s happening in the case. What’s happened in the case is your attorney filed for discovery. The state has complied with that request and given him discovery. We’ve had a pretrial conference today and at that pretrial conference a discussion was had about having you submit to an Ohio Risk Assessment so that the state can have an idea of what an offer will look like in this case, they can communicate that to your attorney, and your attorney will bring to you not only you discovery but your offer so you can go over everything when he comes down to see you. Does that make sense?”

“Yes, sir,” Calhoun said.

Hervey asked if Calhoun was willing to submit to taking the ORAS and Calhoun said he was.

The court ordered Calhoun to complete the assessment and once that is completed he can be put back on the schedule for further proceedings.
