A Pedro man already facing charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and violating a protection order answered additional charges Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Virgil Cole, 40, of 647 County Road 14, was arraigned on a bill of information of first-degree aggravated robbery, third-degree having weapons under a disability and fourth-degree assault on a police officer.

Cole, represented by attorney Scott Evans, pleaded not guilty to the charges. Cole had also previously pleaded not guilty to the aggravated vehicular homicide and violating a protection order charges on Jan. 9.

Prosecuting Attorney Brigham Anderson asked that the two separate cases be consolidated for trial since the incidents involved the same victim.

Judge Charles Cooper set bond at $100,000 cash or surety for the new charges. Cole has been incarcerated since his last arraignment, also on a $100,000 bond. A pretrial was set for Feb. 20.
