Collins indicted for murder of Claggett

MOUNT VERNON — Michael T. Collins, 54, Frazeysburg, was indicted Monday by a Knox Count Grand Jury for the murder of Lilly Dawn Claggett, 35, St. Louisville.

According to Knox County Prosecutor John Thatcher, Collins was also indicted for the attempted murder of his 30-year-old son, Jesse Collins.

Thatcher said at 10:27 p.m. on July 1, two 9-1-1 callers reported a single vehicle crash near 1596 Martinsburg Road in southern Knox County. A 1998 blue Ford Contour had crashed off the left side of the road and lodged against a pine tree. The driver, Lilly Dawn Claggett, was shot and mortally wounded. The passenger, Jesse Collins, was shot and seriously wounded.

Officers responding to the scene found several .45 caliber spent casings on both sides of the road immediately south of the crash. A loaded .45 caliber “High Point” semi-automatic pistol was recovered from Claggett’s vehicle. The State Highway Patrol assumed the lead in the investigation with the assistance of the Knox County and Licking County Sheriffs’ offices.

At 6 a.m. on July 2, a SWAT team executed a search warrant at Michael Collins’ residence at 10780 Pleasant Valley Road in Licking County. Collins and his 28-year-old daughter, Melissa Collins Kramer, were taken into investigative custody. Later that morning officers recovered a .45 caliber “Springfield” semiautomatic pistol behind a utility pole on Swick Holton Road in Licking County. The .45 caliber “Springfield” was allegedly in Michael Collins’ possession the night of July 1.

At 6 p.m. on July 2, a Highway Patrol aviation unit flew over Melissa Collins Kramer’s mobile home at 1520 Martinsburg Road. Thatcher said the driveway to Kramer’s mobile home is approximately 700 feet from where Claggett’s vehicle crashed. Aerial photographs show apparent tire marks and vehicle debris in Kramer’s yard, including the front bumper fascia of Michael Collins’ white 1997 GMC Jimmy.

Later in the investigation, the State Patrol Crime Lab found damage and suspected white paint transfer on Claggett’s Ford Contour that is allegedly unrelated to the crash into the pine tree on Ohio 586. A bullet hole was found in the Ford’s right rear tail light assembly, and the bullet was recovered from the spare tire in the trunk. Another bullet was recovered from the interior side of a door in the Ford’s driver’s compartment. No bullet holes were found on Collins’ GMC Jimmy.
