Deputies visited James Worley several times over years

Family and friends said goodbye Sierah Joughin, 20, Friday during funeral services. The University of Toledo student was riding her bike on County Road 6 in Metamora last Tuesday night when she disappeared. Her body was found a few days later in a cornfield on County Road 7.

Now 13abc is learning new information about the man accused of killing Joughin. His name is James Worley. New incident reports give us a clearer picture of how many times deputies have interacted with him over the past few years.

Sheriff deputies have had several contacts with Worley. The most serious was an incident in 2014 when he was chasing kids near his property.

In that 2014 incident, deputies say Worley called them saying a couple of kids were riding their bikes on the road near his County Road 6 home near Delta. Worley then said he'd chase the kids, he says because he was worried about burglaries in the area.

When deputies arrived they spoke to one woman who recognized the kids, saying the kids were scared when Worley yelled at them. Other interactions with deputies include a township show plow that threw a rock into his yard and damaged his snow blower, possible elderly abuse against his mother. In that incident a nurse practitioner was concerned about how Worley spoke to his mother. She was taken in for a fall and pain on two separate incidents. The mother says he treats her like his father. No evidence of abuse was found.

Only once do we see where deputies went into his home, that was a call for his mother choking. Worley said she was fine. A deputy went inside and checked to see that the mother was in fact sleeping.

Deputies also called at one point for when Worley was arguing with his brother. No charges were filed.
