UPDATE on June 23, 2025:

A Hamilton man had his aggravated burglary charge reduced to trespass in a habitation, a fourth-degree felony, and his assault charge dismissed.

Ramiro Gamas Ailon was sentenced to six months in jail with 153 days credited by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Greg Howard.

Ailon faced a minimum three-year prison term for aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony, and another six months for the assault charge, a first-degree misdemeanor.

ORIGINAL STORY: A Butler County grand jury indicted a 22-year-old Hamilton man this week on aggravated burglary and assault.

Ramiro Gamas Ailon, of Park Avenue in Hamilton, faces a minimum of three years in prison for aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony, according to the indictment. The assault charge is a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail.

On Jan. 17, Ailon forced his way into a Park Avenue apartment building by breaking the front screen door and opening the main door, according to a Hamilton police report. Ailon lives in the same building.

“The suspect then walked upstairs and began physically attacking” a 29-year-old man who lived in the apartment, according to the report.

The assault victim sustained a minor injury, police reported. His 30-year-old female roommate was not injured.

Ramiro Ailon, 22, of Hamilton, was charged with aggravated burglary (F1) and assault (M1) after police say he broke into the apartment of his neighbors. He was indicated on the charges by the Butler County grand jury on March 5, 2025. PROVIDED
