According to District Attorney Micheal Murray, during the December 2025 session of the Brown County Grand Jury, 9 true bills were returned against 8 persons.

Those indicted were:

• Michael Daniel McCormick: Possession of a controlled substance
• Courtney Renee Vrana: Possession of a controlled substance
• Jimmie Lee Thomas: Aggravated sexual assault of a child
• Felicia Dawn Dalton aka Felicia Dawn Gordon: Possession of a controlled substance
• Rodney Ross Newton: Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
• Ernesto Ortiz aka Earnest Ortiz: Driving while intoxicated third or more – habitual offender
• Emalee Yancey-Blankenship: Possession of a controlled substance
• Jose Luis Segovia Jr.: Evading arrest – repeat offender

The District Attorney’s Office does not release names on new indictments until after the Grand Jury proceedings have been processed through the District Clerk and a file marked copy of the Grand Jury Report has been returned.

The District Attorney’s Office does not release names of Defendants who have been indicted by a Grand Jury but not yet arrested because of an indictment being sealed until the time of arrest. In addition, names of individuals who have had no formal charges filed against them and who are no-billed by a Grand Jury will not be released by the District Attorney’s Office at this time.
