According to Van Wert Police, Kyle Caldwell entered Klosterman’s with a bandana covering the lower part of his face while brandishing a handgun. He pointed the gun at the clerk and demanded the money from the cash register. He allegedly then reached into the cash drawer, snatched the money and ran off on foot. Kyle Caldwell was scheduled for a pretrial hearing on Nov. 14. Chelsea Caldwell will attend a Nov. 21 pretrial hearing. Each faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

A total of 16 persons were arraigned on drug charges Wednesday morning stemming from a series of investigations by Van Wert Police. The 16 are facing 30 separate charges.
