- A friend of the Ohio man who killed nine people, including his own sister, in Dayton this month was charged on Monday with lying about his illegal drug use on a form when he bought a pistol, federal prosecutors said.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Glassman charged Betts’ friend, Ethan Kollie, 24, of Kettering, with making a false statement regarding firearms. He was also charged with possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance, according to court documents. “There is no evidence and no allegation ... that Kollie intentionally participated in the planning” of the Aug. 4 shooting, Glassman said, noting that the investigation into the shooting continues. “That’s not what this case is about.”
Later that week, authorities interviewed Kollie again, this time at work, where he told them he was a gun owner and that he had done hard drugs with Betts as well as marijuana and acid four or five times a week from 2014 to 2015, Glassman said.
