Julick, who now faces life in prison if convicted on all charges, was taken into custody June 25, following a six-hour SWAT standoff in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood.
The Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office released the following statement regarding the indictment:
On August 29, 2019, the Kenton County Grand Jury returned an Indictment charging Jacob Ray Julick with nine felony offenses including two counts of Attempted Murder, two counts of First Degree Fleeing Police, two counts of Possession of a Handgun by Convicted Felon, Theft of Identity, First Degree Wanton Endangerment, and First Degree Persistent Felony Offender. Julick faces up to Life in Prison if convicted as charged.
Julick is accused of shooting at two Lakeside Park Police officers during a traffic stop on June 6, 2019.
Erlanger Police obtained an arrest warrant for Julick the same day but Julick was able to elude police capture for several weeks.
Julick is also accused of leading Covington Police on a high speed chase through Latonia on June 22, 2019 after a patrol officer spotted him driving through the city. The police pursuit was terminated for public safety but not before Julick allegedly tried to ram a Covington Police car.
Julick, who has multiple prior felonies according to court records, is also accused of being armed with a handgun during the Covington chase.
Julick is scheduled for arraignment on all charges before Kenton Circuit Judge Patricia Summe on September 3, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 6A of the Kenton County Justice Center.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders is prosecuting the case personally and said he has no intentions of making a plea offer in the case.
“When you shoot at our police in Kenton County, you deserve to face the justice handed down from 12 of our citizens,” said Sanders.
*An indictment is only a charge and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
