HEATH, Ohio – A bond hearing was scheduled for a 32-year-old man who police say killed his father with a machete.
Adam Runyons Jr. was charged with murder on Thursday after Heath police say he called a relative and confessed to chopping up his 51-year-old father, Adam Runyons Sr.
A bloody machete was found in a sink at the home.
Runyons Jr. was due in court for a bond hearing Friday. Online jail records didn’t say if he had an attorney yet.
Neighbors tell reporters that Runyons Jr. had moved in with his father and the father’s preschool-aged son in Heath last month after being released from prison.
The younger Runyons had served 11 months for assaulting a peace officer.
