Authorities in Logan County say 21-year-old Marquevous Watkins, of Lima, is charged with murder and aggravated robbery in the slaying of 45-year-old Jeffrey Brentlinger. County sheriff’s officials say Brentlinger’s daughter found her father dead when she returned to their Zanesfield home Nov. 24.

Watkins’ bond was set at $500,000 on Tuesday in Bellefontaine. A message seeking comment was left at the office of the Lima man’s attorney.

Authorities say another man and three teenagers, all from Lima, were arrested on warrants charging complicity to commit murder and complicity to commit robbery.
