Ohio teen charged in Craigslist case now in jail

By The Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio --


An Ohio teen who will be tried as an adult in a deadly Craigslist robbery scheme has been moved to an adult jail that's able to house juveniles.

Brogan Rafferty, 16, had been held at a juvenile detention center. Rafferty is accused of killing one man and attempting to kill another who answered a Craigslist ad for a bogus job in southeast Ohio's Noble County. A second 52-year-old suspect is jailed on unrelated charges.

Rafferty has been transferred to the Summit County Jail in Akron. The jail administrator told the Akron Beacon Journal that the jail can meet requirements that the teen be kept completely separate from adult inmates, unlike the Noble County Jail.

The newspaper reported the Noble County sheriff turned Rafferty over to Summit County authorities on Friday.
