Moraine man pleads guilty for stealing pickup, showing gun to officers

A Moraine man will spend three years in prison for stealing a pickup truck left running outside a Miamisburg gas station and then showing a gun to police officers.

Matthew L. Reese, 35, pleaded guilty Thursday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to robbery and having weapons while under disability.He was sentenced to between two and three years for the robbery count, and three years for the weapons charge, to be served concurrently, according to sentencing documents filed Friday.

Miamisburg police responded Sept. 15 to a report of a stolen vehicle at a BP gas station at 10 N. Springboro Pike. Shortly afterward, West Carrollton police officers found a man later identified as Reese appearing to overdose inside the stolen truck. Reese showed a handgun when officers opened the door to help, according to an affidavit filed in Miamisburg Municipal Court.

Reese also must forfeit a pistol and will serve up to three years parole, documents show.
