ZANESVILLE, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—A Zanesville woman ran into a local gas station trying to escape Brandon Ore.
He chased her inside and attacked her anyway.
Now Ore, who already had two prior domestic violence convictions, has been sentenced to four years in prison.
The attack occurred in June 2026 after an argument between Ore and the victim.
When the victim exited their vehicle, Ore followed her and attempted to grab her. She ran into the gas station to get away.
Ore pursued her into the store, grabbed her by the arm, and threw her into a glass display.
He then grabbed her by the neck, threw her head backward into the display, and grabbed her sweatshirt before throwing her across the store.
Ore pleaded guilty to felony domestic violence, abduction, and strangulation.
On November 2, Judge Kelly Cottrill sentenced him to 48 months in prison.
Ore’s criminal history includes two previous domestic violence convictions in Muskingum County.
Assistant Prosecutor Warren Edwards represented the State.
Domestic violence does not always happen behind closed doors. In this case, the victim tried to escape into a public business, but the violence followed her.
Our office will continue holding repeat violent offenders accountable and working to protect victims of domestic violence.
