Chillicothe — The Ross County Grand Jury returned all 25 of their cases on Friday, March 7th, 2025, with seven open for release to the public. From testimony in the the grand jury in one of the cases, according to the Ross County Prosecutor’s Office:
In a big event that cleared the Ross County Courthouse on February 7th, a Ross County Sheriff’s detective was advised by a jail employee who overheard a phone conversation with an inmate, where a woman apparently said she called the Chillicothe Police Department to make threats to two Ross County Common Pleas judges.
The phone calls had been recorded, where 36-year-old Macie Joette Ramsey-Clark of East 4th Street made rhyming comments that the two judges had taken her kids and “they had to go.”
From the first call, she is quoted or paraphrased as saying “If you were smart, you would keep everyone out of the way. This is not a joke. This is real. They took my kids. Today is the day.”
In a second call, Ramsey-Clark asked if any bombs had been found in the courthouse yet.
Deputies at the courthouse were able to trace the call to her cell phone…in a courtroom with a male defendant, who was apparently her boyfriend.
Ramsey-Clark was arrested and repeatedly said “I f***ed up,” but she did not admit to making the threats.
For indictments on third-degree felonies, one for each of the two judges – of making a terroristic threat and of intimidation – Ramsey-Clark could get up to three years and $10,000 in fines for each…at a total of 12 years and $40,000.
She remains in custody at the Ross County Jail.
