Former Troy attorney arraigned for theft

MIAMI COUNTY — A former attorney in charge of a trust for a mentally handicapped woman was arraigned on several felony theft charges in Miami County Common Pleas Court on Monday.

Jeffrey Brumbaugh, 63, who gave a contact address in Sedona, Ariz., was arraigned on two counts first-degree felony engaging in pattern of corrupt activity, second-degree theft, two counts of fourth-degree theft and third-degree money laundering. He entered a plea of not guilty to all charges.

Judge Christopher Gee set bond for $100,000 and Brumbaugh posted bond late Monday.

According to Miami County Prosecutor Tony Kendell, the victim’s legal guardian contacted law enforcement officials when the trust was found to be drained of its funds. Kendell said at least $200,000 is allegedly missing and Brumbaugh was the executor of the trust, hired by the victim’s now deceased father.

According to records, the Ohio Supreme Court indefinitely suspended Brumbaugh from practicing law on May 25, 2017, and he was ordered to cease and desist practicing law. Brumbaugh also failed to respond to a formal complaint before the Supreme Court’s disciplinary counsel submitted on Sept. 9, 2016. Brumbaugh formerly had a law office in Troy.
