On December 26, 2016, Logan County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a
call regarding an automobile crash. During the course of the
investigation, Deputies learned that Stephanie Renfro was a passenger in
the crashed vehicle driven by Edward Baughman. Ms. Renfro informed the
Sheriff’s Department that Baughman, her boyfriend, had struck her while
she was riding in the vehicle driven by him.
Domestic Battery is typically a class A misdemeanor. The offense can be
elevated to a felony based on certain factors. In this case, the offense
was elevated to a class 2 felony based on Baughman being previously
convicted of Domestic Battery on four prior occasions. The period of
Mandatory Supervised Release (formerly known as parole) is also extended
from 2 years to 4 years based upon a felony domestic battery conviction.
