Pair indicted for series of break-ins, thefts at closed Dayton Grand Hotel

DAYTON — A man and woman are facing a combined 42 charges for a series of break-ins and thefts from the former Dayton Grand Hotel.

Raven Hunt, 36, and Jeffery Scott Littler, 49, both of Dayton, were indicted Thursday for crimes that spanned from Nov. 11, 2019, through Dec. 16, 2019, at the permanently closed hotel at 11 S. Ludlow St. in downtown Dayton, court documents show.

The most serious charge each faces is engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

A warrant was issued Thursday for the arrest of Hunt, whose arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 6 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

Littler remains in the Montgomery County Jail awaiting his Tuesday arraignment.

Littler also was indicted for: 10 counts of breaking and entering; five counts of theft, four counts of petty theft; and one count each of vandalism and possession of criminal tools.
