By Cornelia Grace Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ — Cadiz resident

Jennifer Church appeared in the Court of Common Pleas on June 6 because of a motion filed by the state to revoke her community-based control sanctions. The state, represented by Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Knight, alleges that Church tested positive for THC three times in January and February before tesing positive for methamphetamine in April.

Judge Shawn Hervey explained the possible penalties to Church, “Back on Sept. 26, 2022, you were sentenced and a 10-month reserved prison sentence was suspended over your head and you have credit for 31 days against that 10-month sentence. So basically you have nine months for potential sanctions that could be at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, which is prison; that could be at Eastern Ohio Corrections Center, which is a communi-

The deputy arrived and made contact with the employee that was working on the scene. He stated that a young female was attempting to leave her house and instead of asking for the truck to be moved in the work zone so she could safely exit, she tried to squeeze by the large truck and ended up damaging her vehicle. The gentleman stated that the woman left and when she returned, she was in a different car. He said that his company already had a phone call inquiring about helping with the cost to repair, and the gentleman just wanted to make the report in case his company insurance needed it.

Pete Beamer appeared via video call from the Noble County Jail on a motion from the state to revoke his community-based control sanctions.

They requested that the parents contact them first thing in the morning to discuss the incident.

Cadiz Police Department

• May 1 – An officer was dispatched to a Cadiz residence in reference to a man calling about his stepdaughter destroying the house. The man stated that the stepdaughter sent her juvenile son downstairs to do laundry. The man asked the juvenile not to mess with the laundry equipment because he was just a child. The man said that the child got angry and kicked the family dog. The stepdaughter started arguing with the man and started destroying the house. The officer spoke with the stepdaughter about what took place, she stated that she sent her son downstairs to switch the laundry and that the family dog bit which is why he struck the animal. She stated that this isn’t the first time that the dog has attacked the child and another younger child in the residence. The officer did misdemeanor was dropped. He was sentenced to two years of community-based controls and 79 days of local incarceration. He was given a 24-month reserved sentence.

On June 6, he was read the allegations against him for his violation, which is that he was picked up for OVI in Tuscawaras County on May 24.

“The court wil note you were on community corrections with Tusc County through an agreement with our county. I’ve had an opportunity to speak with Officer Rapavi, and it’s my understanding that besides this issue, Tusc was okay with your progress and you didn’t have any other violations alleged besides this pending incident,” he said.

Acting Probation Chief Dan Rapavi explained that Tuscarawas returned the case to Harrison because of the violation filed. Rapavi stated Beamer only had a couple months left on his community-based control.

Hervey spoke to Beamer, “I don’t want you to make any observe bite marks on the child and a currently healing injury on the boy’s hand. The stepdaughter did admit that she threw a toy towards the stop the stairs, so the father would not come up any further. Reports were taken from both the father and the stepdaughter. The case is being looked into.

decisions right now but when you talk to your attorney in your Tuscarawas case, or an appointed attorney in this case, it may be in your interest to extend community-based control in this case. … I’m going to set this matter for a pretrail conference before the end of your community-based controls.” belligerent. He was kicking, punching and spitting at the EMTs, and they had to cover the man’s lower face with a towel. The officer assisted in restraining the man when they arrived at the hospital while the other EMTs strapped him to the gurney. The male was also belligerent with the medical staff at Harrison Community Hospital. The next morning when the gentleman was released from the hospital, he was arrested for assault, underage consumption, and drunk and disorderly, and taken to the Harrison County Jail.

The court then addressed bond, opening the floor to Knight, “Given that the original offense is a felony of the third degree, the state would request a monetary bond at this point. The state requests $15,000 with 10-percent sach assurity. It is the state’s understanding that a family member of the defendant has contacted the court regarding electronic home monitoring. The state would not oppose that with alcohol monitoring and GPS included if the defendant is able to financially do that.” Beamer’s bond was set at the recommended $15,000 with the 10-percent option, which Beamer said he would likely be able to make.

• May 3 – A gentleman came to the station to file a report. He stated that while he was at his residence in from Page 1 through the dark days of the Civil War. He was surrounded by a group of amazing Ohioans.” Johnson had the honor of presenting the post office with its new nameplate.

Mayor John Migliore was proudly in attendance at the ceremony. The excitement coming from him was palpable.

“I think it’s a wonderful thing that congress decided to make this the John A. Bingham Post Office, because he was such a great American and he did so much for this country. He was the first author of the 14th amendment which allowed equal justice under law for all Americans,” Migliore said. “It’s crazy that all this history can happen in our little town.”

There were plenty of new faces in town. USPS sent representatives from their headquarters to take part in the ceremony. ”Namings don’t happen often,” USPS Ohio District One Manager Susan A. Taylor said. ”Mr. Bingham was a very big influence in this area. All that he has done in the capital and then he came back to this area to raise his family here. He said it was the most beautiful place he’s ever seen. This community should be very proud. It’s a small town, and I love that because everyone turns up. There’s so much comradery in small communities. Everyone knows everyone. You don’t see that often anymore.”

Moore’s Trailer Court, he was approached outside by three others who lived in the same trailer court. They kept threatening to physically harm him and potentially kill him. The gentleman filed his statement and wishes to have charges filed. He said this has been an ongoing problem, and that he is tired of being harassed. Later that evening all three of the accused residents came to the station in reference to the incident. They all claimed that they were not in town since noon on that date, and that they only saw the gentleman briefly that day. They also claim that they haven’t argued with the gentleman for a long while.

The post office is the second building in town to be honored with John A. Bingham’s name. Bingham Terrace, an apartment complex in town, is also named after the former congressman. Another piece of history to add to the already abundant history of the Village of Cadiz and Harrison County.
