14-year-old faces adult murder charge

A 14-year-old Over-the-Rhine boy was indicted Tuesday in the beating death of a Maineville man in the neighborhood this summer.
Anthony Pugh, who faces life in prison if convicted, will be tried as an adult. He was transferred from juvenile court this month in a ruling by Judge Thomas Lipps.
A Hamilton County grand jury indicted him on aggravated murder, two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of felonious assault.
The teen is one of three people charged with killing and robbing 30-year-old Anthony Isaacs on Aug. 28. He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Prosecutors say two other Over-the-Rhine men — Martiz Dixon, 18, and Kevin Rogers, 18 — attacked Mr. Isaacs and Glenn Brayton, 30, of Loveland, from a parked car, took their wallets and beat them both. Mr. Brayton survived the attack but Mr. Isaacs died the next day.
“The sheer viciousness and brutality of the attack merits (Mr. Pugh) being prosecuted as an adult,” Prosecutor Michael K. Allen said. “You cannot devalue a human life, and this life was taken in an incredibly brutal manner.”
Mr. Allen said the 14-year-old has had “extensive contact” with the juvenile court system.
