A Bellefontaine man is accused of attacking a man he thought stole money from his stripper friend.
Austin Allen, 19, was charged with felonious assault in Clark County Municipal Court. He is in court this morning.

He was arrested Monday.

Clark County Sheriff Office deputies began their investigation Aug. 5 when they were called to an apartment on South Church Street. There, they found a man lying face down bleeding outside.

“It was apparent (the man) had fallen from the second-floor window, as there was a pair of athletic shorts hanging from the pipe just above him,” an affidavit with the charges says.

Deputies said in the affidavit blood was scattered throughout the apartment and furniture had been flipped and disheveled. After observing the scene, they were alerted a woman and a man covered in blood who were going door to door asking to use a phone.

Deputies attempted to stop the two, but the man, later identified as Allen, ran off, according to the affidavit. The woman was detained, the affidavit says.

The affidavit says the deputies brought the woman to the sheriff’s office and interviewed her. The woman told deputies that she lives in Bellefontaine but works at a Dayton strip club. She was driven to the club that night by her friends to work but those friends decided to go to another strip club leaving her and Allen without a ride back home.

The woman told deputies that a regular customer and his friend offered to drive them to Clark County where the four could hang out until “he could sober up. He then advised he would drive the two back to Bellefontaine or call them an Uber.”

The four went to the apartment and while the woman was in the bathroom Allen allegedly heard the two clients talk about having sexual relations with the woman, the affidavit says. The woman declined their advances, the affidavit says. It was soon after she realized she was missing money, provoking an angry response from Allen, the affidavit says.

“She advised she told Mr. Allen her money was missing and he went into a rage,” the affidavit says. “She stated Mr. Allen struck (the man) and (the man) retreated to his bedroom. She advised (the other man) then said something to Mr. Allen and he began attacking him.”

The woman said she told Allen to stop striking the man after she saw blood, according to the affidavit.

The two then left the property, the affidavit says. It is unclear how the man fell from the window.

Deputies were able to contact the victim after the incident who told them he did want to press charges.
