COLERAIN TWP., Ohio — A man who was shot during an exchange of gunfire with Colerain Township police Friday night appeared in court Saturday morning.
Mark Bramble, 39, was arrested on multiple charges after he was shot by officers.
Colerain police said officers were dispatched to the 3300 block of Deshler Drive shortly before 7:30 p.m. for "a report of domestic trouble." When they arrived, a suspect, later identified to be Bramble, fled from officers in a vehicle. Officers followed Bramble before the pursuit ended near the area of Commons Circle and Mall Drive by the former Northgate Mall, which is a roughly six-minute drive from Deshler Drive.
Once the pursuit stopped, police said Bramble "displayed a firearm towards officers," causing officers to shoot their weapons at him. According to Hamilton County court documents, Bramble shot at a police officer based on video footage, physical evidence and a victim statement.
Bramble sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to UC Medical Center for treatment.
Police said no officers were injured. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the police shooting.
In total, Bramble is facing nine charges, including felonious assault, aggravated menacing and illegally possessing a gun. Bramble pleaded not guilty to all of the charges Saturday in court.
Bramble is being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center without bail. He's expected to be back in court on Wednesday, Sept. 3.
