Corrections Officer Geremy Mullennix Resigns after Giving Alcohol to Minor

A Miami County corrections officer resigned Friday, Oct. 10, a day after he and his brother were charged with allegedly offering and providing alcohol to Piqua High School band members during an alumni band activity at the Sept. 19 football game.

Geremy Mullennix, 30, of Piqua, turned in his resignation to jail and sheriff's office administrators, who were looking into disciplinary action and an internal investigation, Capt. Dave Duchak said.

Mullennix had worked at the jail since May 1999.

He and his brother, Chad Mullennix, 34, of Sidney, face one misdemeanor charge each of furnishing alcohol to a minor and attempted furnishing alcohol to a minor.

Bruce Jamison, acting Piqua police chief, said the two, at the game for a performance by the alumni band with the current high school band, offered alcohol to student band members. One member, a 13-year-old boy, accepted a drink, but will not face charges, Jamison said.

Arraignments for Chad and Geremy Mullennix are scheduled for Oct. 22 in Piqua Municipal Court.
