UNION TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A Union Township man accused of attempted murder after police said he shot a woman multiple times in February has been found competent to stand trial.
In court Thursday, he entered a plea of not guilty and a judge set his bond at $1 million.
Police say Brett Jason Owens, 41, told officers he shot a woman at his Union Township home in the 600 block of Redwood Court.
Officers first responded to Owens's home early Sunday morning after receiving a 911 call reporting a person with a firearm banging on a door. When they arrived, they found a woman who had been shot five times.
The woman, police said, identified Owens as the person who shot her. Officers made contact with Owens, who had left the scene and told police he was at CVG Airport.
Union Township police worked with airport police to detain Owens. A report by airport police says Owens told a security guard he and his wife were in danger from the mafia. When airport police arrived and spoke with Owen, he told them he'd shot and killed a woman in Ohio.
Police said the gun believed to be used in the shooting was also located at the airport.
Owens is in custody in Boone County awaiting extradition to Ohio.
In addition to attempted murder, Owens faces attempted aggravated murder, kidnapping, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, attempted aggravated burglary and attempted burglary charges.
If convicted on all counts, Owens could spend up to 45 years in prison.
