No parole for James Teague
COLUMBUS — A man convicted of killing a World War II veteran who was eating a sandwich in his home was denied an early release by the state parole board Tuesday.
James Teague, 56, has been in prison in Ohio for three decades. Parole Chairwoman Cynthia B. Mausser said the nine-member board, by majority decision, agreed that release for Teague should be denied. Parole won’t be considered again until May 2017.
Teague is serving a life sentence for aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, forgery and drug abuse. He has been in prison since April 1976 and is incarcerated at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution.
According to documents, Teague and a co-defendant robbed a pharmacy in Masury, Trumbull County and shot and killed a man in an attached residence in June 1974.
