Incident Under Investigation

Union City, Ohio – June 6, 2023 – The Union City Police Department is currently investigating a harrowing incident that occurred on June 2, 2023, at a residence in the 100 block of E. Carmel St. A female victim was subjected to a violent attack by Bradley Boyer, resulting in multiple stab wounds, a broken nose, and broken ribs.

According to preliminary reports, Mr. Boyer allegedly held the victim against her will overnight before forcibly transporting her to Redkey, Indiana. Disturbingly, the victim did not receive immediate medical attention until yesterday, June 5, when she was able to communicate with a concerned neighbor who promptly dialed emergency services.

Local law enforcement agencies, including the Jay County Sheriff’s Office and Redkey Police, promptly responded to the scene and took Mr. Boyer into custody. The victim, who sustained severe injuries from the stabbing and multiple broken bones, is currently receiving medical treatment at Indiana University Ball Hospital. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim during this challenging time, and we hope for her swift and full recovery.

The Union City, Ohio Police Department was assisted by the Union City, Indiana Police Department and the Greenville Police Department.

Bradley Boyer is now facing an arrest warrant issued by authorities and will be transported to the Darke County jail pending his waiver of extradition. The Union City Police Department expresses its appreciation to the collaborating agencies for their swift action and commitment to ensuring public safety.
