Steffan Whetsel, 22, of 419 Madriver Street, Bellefontaine, was indicted for aggravated burglary (F1) and assault (M1).
Artis and Whetsel allegedly forced their way into a south side apartment last Thursday night around 11:30.
The men allegedly kicked in the door at 816 Heritage Drive, Apt. 4.
The resident, Shelly Neeld, 39, along with her one-year-old grandson were knocked to the ground.
Neeld said the suspects were armed with a ball bat and taser.
Artis and Whetsel were yelling for a man named "Crazy" in the apartment, whom they never found.
The Bellefontaine Police Department responded and saw two men fleeing on a motorcycle.
Neeld's daughter, Katrina Robinson, 22, of 512 North Elm Street, identified the suspects by name.
Police recovered the bat and taser in Neeld's residence.
About 30 minutes later, officers found the suspects’ motorcycle at 555 Newell Street.
Both men denied being at Neeld's residence.
Officers disagreed because the motorcycle felt warm.

Artis was carrying a backpack, which was seized for evidence.
