43. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —</strong> A quiet evening in Chillicothe turned chaotic Saturday when a local man, Peter Woods, found himself targeted by a dramatic confrontation involving not one, but two ex-girlfriends, who allegedly unleashed a torrent of harassment outside his new home on U.S. Route 23, law enforcement records show. The encounter, marked by screaming, rock-throwing, and chilling threats about Woods’ identity being “sold,” has left the community buzzing.</p>
44.  
45.  
46.  
47. <p>According to a police report, Woods, who recently moved to the residence, was startled by loud yelling outside his home on Sunday. Stepping outside, he was confronted by Erica Souders and Rachel Abbott, both ex-girlfriends, he said, who had parked in front of his house and were shouting aggressively. The pair’s behavior escalated, with Woods reporting they hurled rocks at his house. In a bold move, Woods claimed Souders attempted to enter his home but was thwarted, unable to gain access.</p>
48.  
49.  
50.  
51. <p>Woods told officers this was not an isolated incident, describing a pattern of relentless harassment from Souders and Abbott that has plagued him for some time. The situation took a darker turn when Woods, in a follow-up call to deputies, revealed a disturbing claim: both women allegedly taunted him with threats that he would “go missing soon” because they had “sold his identity.” While Woods could not provide specifics on what this meant, the ominous statement added a layer of menace.</p>
52.  
53.  
54.  
55. <p>Further fueling the drama, Woods played a voicemail for deputies, allegedly sent by Souders from an unknown number. The recording captured a woman’s voice, seething with anger and sobbing, hurling profanities and vitriol, including the phrase, “fuck you mother fucker I hope you die.” Deputies could not locate Souders to question her.</p>
56.  
57.  
58.  
59. <p>Despite the alarming behavior, Woods declined to press charges or seek a trespass order against Souders or Abbott.</p>

78. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — </strong>A woman reported being sexually assaulted by a man she did not know after accepting a ride in what she described as a &#8220;kidnapper van&#8221; in Chillicothe, according to a police report from the Chillicothe Police Department.</p>
79.  
80.  
81.  
82. <p>The incident occurred on the evening of July 12 when the victim, whose identity is not being disclosed, left a friend’s home on an unspecified street to go for a walk. While walking in an unfamiliar area, a van approached her, and the male driver offered her a ride, which she accepted, the report states. The woman entered through the rear doors and noticed two additional men inside the vehicle, all of whom were strangers to her.</p>
83.  
84.  
85.  
86. <p>The victim described the vehicle as a “kidnapper van” but provided no further details about its appearance, according to the police report. The group drove to a residence on another unspecified street within Chillicothe, where they smoked marijuana together. The woman also consumed an edible, which she said left her heavily impaired.</p>
87.  
88.  
89.  
90. <p>Later that evening, one of the men, described as a Black male, took her to an unknown room in the home and locked the door, the report states. The victim alleged that the man removed her clothes, began “licking” her, and proceeded to have sex with her while she was too impaired to resist.</p>
91.  
92.  
93.  
94. <p>The woman reported the incident to police the next day after seeking medical attention at Adena Medical Center in Chillicothe, where officers were dispatched to take her statement.</p>
95.  
96.  
97.  
98. <p>The Chillicothe Police Department is investigating the incident, but no further details about suspects or arrests were included in the report.</p>
99.  
100.  
101.  
102. <p>A DNA rape kit was done and has been sent to a state lab for comparison among a database of known DNA markers.</p>

124. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —</strong> Police in Chillicothe have deployed automated license plate recognition cameras from Flock Safety to aid in crime investigations, but details about their exact placements and operations remain limited, with the department&#8217;s transparency page not yet publicly available.</p>
125.  
126.  
127.  
128. <p>The cameras capture images of passing vehicles, including license plates, make, model and color, to help track stolen cars, missing persons, or vehicles linked to crimes.</p>
129.  
130.  
131.  
132. <p>Flock Safety, an Atlanta-based company founded in 2017, specializes in surveillance technology for law enforcement and communities. Its Automated Licensed Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras use machine learning to scan and analyze vehicle data in real time, sending alerts to officers if a plate matches a database of wanted vehicles. The devices are motion-activated, solar-powered and can capture 6-12 images per vehicle session, with data typically deleted after 30 days to address privacy concerns, according to Flock. Pricing for the Falcon model, Flock&#8217;s primary ALPR camera, runs about $2,500 per unit annually, plus a one-time installation fee ranging from $250 to $650, covering maintenance and cloud storage, the company said.</p>
133.  
134.  
135.  
136. <p>To promote accountability, Flock Safety provides transparency portals for partnering agencies. These online pages detail how departments use the technology, including privacy policies, data retention rules and sometimes usage statistics or audit logs. Examples include portals for departments in Mansfield and Marion County, Ohio, which outline retroactive searches and evidence collection practices. However, no such page has been publicly disclosed for the Chillicothe Police Department, leaving residents without easy access to specifics on local implementation.</p>
137.  
138.  
139.  
140. <p>Scioto Valley Guardian has confirmed the presence of at least one Flock camera along East Main Street in Chillicothe, a busy thoroughfare in the city&#8217;s east side. The outlet reached out to the City of Chillicothe for more information on the cameras&#8217; placements, costs, usage policies and total number deployed, but as of press time, officials had not responded.</p>
141.  
142.  
143.  
144. <p>Chillicothe, a city of about 22,000 residents and the first capital of Ohio, joins a growing list of communities adopting Flock technology amid rising concerns over vehicle-related crimes. Critics, including privacy advocates, argue the systems enable mass surveillance, though Flock emphasizes data security and limited retention. </p>
145.  
146.  
147.  
148. <p>Local police have not released statistics on the cameras&#8217; impact since installation, but similar deployments elsewhere in Ohio, such as in Commercial Point, have expanded from a few units to dozens. </p>

569. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —</strong> The Chillicothe City Council is scheduled to vote Monday on an ordinance that would raise water rates by 2%, a modest hike aimed at keeping pace with inflation and operational costs in the southern Ohio city of about 22,000 residents. </p>
570.  
571.  
572.  
573. <p>The proposed amendment to Chapter 915.08 of the city&#8217;s codified ordinances comes after a utilities review committee recommended the increase earlier this year, citing the need to maintain infrastructure and address rising expenses. If approved, the change would take effect later this summer, marking the latest in a series of incremental adjustments to water fees in recent years. </p>
574.  
575.  
576.  
577. <p>For the average household in Chillicothe, the increase would add less than $1 to monthly bills, depending on usage. City data shows a typical residential customer using about 4,500 gallons per month currently pays around $22 for water service inside city limits, which could rise by roughly 44 cents under the proposal; this does not include sewage or trash collection, which are on the same bill. Higher-usage households or those outside the city could see slightly larger increases, though officials emphasize the rate remains below statewide averages, where monthly water bills for 6,000 gallons often exceed $47. </p>
578.  
579.  
580.  
581. <p>The adjustment aligns closely with national economic trends, as the U.S. inflation rate stood at 2.4% for the 12 months ending in May, up slightly from 2.3% the prior month. In meetings, local leaders have framed the hike as necessary to offset inflationary pressures on materials, labor, and energy without burdening residents excessively.</p>
582.  
583.  
584.  
585. <p>Chillicothe, the former state capital located along the Scioto River about 45 miles south of Columbus, has seen similar rate tweaks in the past, including a 2% water increase combined with an 8% sewer hike in 2023. Council members discussed the measure at their June meeting, setting the stage for Monday&#8217;s vote. If passed, it would apply to all customers served by the city&#8217;s utilities department.</p>
586.  
587.  
588.  
589. <p>Residents can attend the council meeting at City Hall or view it online via the city&#8217;s live streaming. No public opposition has been widely reported, though some community members expressed concerns about cumulative utility costs during earlier committee reviews. </p>

833.  
834.  
835.  
836. <p>Police reports out of Chillicothe show a sharp and unusual split: property crime has jumped 105% year-over-year, while violent crime is down 44%. It’s a pattern that’s hard to ignore in a city of just under 22,000 people, where even a few extra break-ins can shake residents’ sense of security.</p>
837.  
838.  
839.  
840. <p>Since 2019, 5,793 property crimes have been logged in the city. Most incidents fall into four categories: burglary, larceny, motor-vehicle theft and arson. The steepest increase has come in the past year. <a href="https://rosssheriff.com/" target="_blank">Ross County law enforcement</a> points to three common threads:</p>
841.  
842.  
843.  
844. <ul class="wp-block-list">
845. <li>repeat shoplifting at large stores along North Bridge Street</li>
846.  
847.  
848.  
849. <li>residential burglaries focused on small, easy-to-sell electronics</li>
850.  
851.  
852.  
853. <li>ongoing catalytic converter thefts, often linked to organized metal resale rings</li>
854. </ul>
855.  
856.  
857.  
858. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pressure-is-building-at-home"><strong>Pressure is building at home</strong></h2>
859.  
860.  
861.  
862. <p>Ross County’s economic indicators paint a picture of a community under stress. <a href="https://ycharts.com/indicators/chillicothe_oh_unemployment_rate_micsa" target="_blank">Unemployment was 6.2% in early 2025</a>, <em>well</em> above the state average, and local wages aren’t keeping up with inflation.&nbsp;</p>
863.  
864.  
865.  
866. <p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.zillow.com/home-values/48792/chillicothe-oh/" target="_blank">median house prices</a> have climbed nearly 7%, and advertised one-bed rentals are starting to push past the $1,000 mark in some neighborhoods.</p>
867.  
868.  
869.  
870. <p>For many families, it’s a juggling act between rent, food, utilities and car payments. It’s the kind of economic squeeze that criminologists describe as a “pressure cooker” for acquisitive crime &#8211; theft that stems from need or desperation.</p>
871.  
872.  
873.  
874. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-drugs-still-drive-a-big-slice-of-theft"><strong>Drugs still drive a big slice of theft</strong></h2>
875.  
876.  
877.  
878. <p>That said, substance abuse remains a major factor. <a href="https://www.sciotopost.com/ross-county-sees-signifigant-overdose-numbers-community-efforts-ramp-up" target="_blank">Ross County recorded 36 fatal overdoses in 2024</a>, most involving fentanyl. By May 2025, the health department had logged 14 more. The county’s Post-Overdose Response Team (PORT) warns that many survivors relapse quickly, and crimes like burglary and converter theft often follow.</p>
879.  
880.  
881.  
882. <p>Nationally, six in ten theft arrestees were under the influence at the time of arrest. The same pattern holds locally. Police evidence photos show lawn equipment, tools, and consumer electronics recovered from addicts attempting to repay drug debts &#8211; sometimes to dealers fronting pills laced with xylazine.</p>
883.  
884.  
885.  
886. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-these-items-fast-sales-and-low-risk"><strong>Why these items? Fast sales and low risk</strong></h2>
887.  
888.  
889.  
890. <p>Converters are a hot target because of what’s inside them: palladium and rhodium, both precious metals with high scrap value. A single converter can sell for $150–$300 in cash, no questions asked. They’re easy to steal, hard to trace and fetch an instant return.</p>
891.  
892.  
893.  
894. <p>Shoplifting crews go for gaming consoles, rechargeable tools, and small electronics, which are quickly resold on sites like Facebook Marketplace. Some local branches of national retailers reported multiple theft calls each month, while smaller downtown shops face smash-and-grab losses for things like tip jars, laptops and phones.</p>
895.  
896.  
897.  
898. <p>These items can vanish in seconds, resell fast, and leave little forensic evidence behind. Still, property owners using tech like motion lights or VIN etching are seeing fewer repeat hits, showing that low-cost prevention still works when applied consistently.</p>
899.  
900.  
901.  
902. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-police-stretched-thin-locals-step-up"><strong>Police stretched thin, locals step up</strong></h2>
903.

934. <p>If you’re residing in Chillicothe and are worried about property theft, here are some steps that you can take to secure your home:</p>
935.  
936.  
937.  
938. <ul class="wp-block-list">
939. <li><strong>Reinforce your doors</strong>: install Grade 1 deadbolts and secure strike plates with 3-inch screws. Use peepholes, especially on side entrances.</li>
940.  
941.  
942.  
943. <li><strong>Lock up your car</strong>: use a visible steering-wheel lock. Paint or etch your converter—it may discourage dealers from buying it.</li>
944.  
945.  
946.  
947. <li><strong>Light smart</strong>: install motion-triggered lights at 8-foot height to illuminate intruders’ faces without disturbing the neighbors.</li>
948.  
949.  
950.  
951. <li><strong>Keep your receipts</strong>: record serial numbers of high-value items. If stolen, these can be listed on national recovery databases.</li>
952.  
953.  
954.  
955. <li><strong>Stay scam-aware</strong>: avoid clicking invoice links in suspicious emails. Never call a “support number” inside a billing message. When in doubt, report and delete.</li>
956. </ul>

961.  
962.  
963.  
964. <p>The good news is that violent crime is down—so hopefully, when the current economic situation improves, Chillicothe’s crime rates should as well. But do take caution if you’re in the city at the moment!</p>

985. <p>Attending a live sporting event can be one of the most exhilarating experiences for a fan. The atmosphere, the crowd, the energy—nothing quite matches the thrill of being there in person. But before that excitement kicks in, it&#8217;s crucial to make sure your ticket purchase is smooth, reliable and truly gets you the experience you want. There are several details fans often overlook in their enthusiasm to secure a spot at their favorite game, and these can make or break the entire event day.</p>
986.  
987.  
988.  
989. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-verify-the-authenticity-of-the-ticket-provider">Verify the authenticity of the ticket provider</h2>
990.  
991.  
992.  
993. <p>One of the most common pitfalls when buying sport tickets is trusting unofficial sources. Whether it’s a third-party website, a social media ad or a digital marketplace, the risk of counterfeit tickets is very real. Always confirm that the seller is authorized and legitimate.</p>
994.  
995.  
996.  
997. <p>Using a verified and trusted service like <a href="https://www.gosporttravel.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GO Sport Travel</a> ensures that the tickets are valid and the service is backed by professionals with industry experience. It also gives you access to customer support, which is invaluable in case of any complications leading up to the event.</p>
998.  
999.  
1000.  
1001. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-double-check-the-event-details">Double check the event details</h2>
1002.  
1003.  
1004.  
1005. <p>It may sound obvious, but one of the most common mistakes is booking tickets for the wrong date, time or even sport. Fixture changes, especially in leagues like football, can occur on short notice due to TV scheduling or tournament commitments. It&#8217;s essential to regularly check for updates even after your purchase.</p>
1006.  
1007.  
1008.  
1009. <p>Make sure you’re clear on the time zone if the event is abroad. Confirm the venue—some teams play in multiple stadiums or arenas throughout the season, and international tournaments often span various cities. A mismatch here can lead to costly travel mistakes and a missed event.</p>
1010.  
1011.  
1012.  
1013. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-understand-the-seating-layout-and-view">Understand the seating layout and view</h2>
1014.  
1015.  
1016.  
1017. <p>All seats are not created equal. Before locking in your purchase, take a good look at the venue’s seating map. A cheaper ticket may look appealing, but if it places you behind a pillar or far from the action, it may affect your enjoyment more than you anticipate.</p>
1018.  
1019.  
1020.  
1021. <p>Some platforms offer 3D visualizations or images of the actual view from certain sections, which can help you make a more informed choice. If you’re buying multiple tickets, confirm that they’re grouped together—not just in the same section but actually side by side.</p>
1022.  
1023.  
1024.  
1025. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-know-the-refund-and-exchange-policy">Know the refund and exchange policy</h2>
1026.  
1027.  
1028.  
1029. <p>Cancellations, delays, and personal emergencies happen. Make sure you know the rules before hitting &#8220;buy.&#8221; Some tickets are non-refundable, while others may offer partial refunds or credits toward future events. The policy may vary depending on the ticket vendor and the event itself.</p>
1030.  
1031.  
1032.  
1033. <p>Using an experienced provider like <a href="https://www.gosporttravel.com/en" target="_blank">GO Sport Travel</a> often means greater flexibility in case of changes. They can also help navigate any last-minute issues that arise, whether it’s rescheduling or replacing lost tickets.</p>
1034.  
1035.  
1036.  
1037. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-check-for-hidden-costs-and-delivery-methods">Check for hidden costs and delivery methods</h2>
1038.  
1039.  
1040.  
1041. <p>The final price at checkout is not always what was advertised initially. Service charges, handling fees and delivery costs can add a surprising amount to the total. Take a moment to understand what’s included and what’s not.</p>
1042.  
1043.  
1044.  
1045. <p>Also, consider how the tickets will be delivered. Will they be sent digitally, or do they require physical shipping? If the latter, will you be home to receive them, or do you need to make arrangements? Clear communication and reliable tracking can reduce unnecessary stress as game day approaches.</p>
1046.  
1047.  
1048.  
1049. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
1050.  
1051.  
1052.  
1053. <p>Buying sport tickets is more than just clicking a button—it’s about setting yourself up for a smooth, enjoyable experience from the moment you make the purchase to the final whistle. By taking the time to double check these key areas, you minimize risks and maximize your enjoyment. Trusted platforms like <a href="https://www.gosporttravel.com/en" target="_blank">GO Sport Travel</a> not only provide access to the best events around the world, but also offer the peace of mind that comes with professional service and reliability. Don’t let small oversights ruin what could be a memorable day. Plan smart, buy wisely, and get ready for an unforgettable event.</p>

1070. <p>Ohio’s social work terrain is shifting fast, thanks to the growing popularity of one‑year advanced standing MSW tracks. These programs are tailored for students who already hold a Bachelor of Social Work from a CSWE-accredited institution. Instead of the usual 60-credit, two-year curriculum, you complete a condensed 30 to 36-credit version across two semesters and a summer term. That means finishing in just about twelve months. In a state like Ohio, where healthcare social work jobs are projected to grow by approximately 16% in the coming years, this accelerated pathway directly responds to a pressing workforce need.&nbsp;</p>
1071.  
1072.  
1073.  
1074. <p>Mental health and substance abuse social workers are also in particularly high demand, with Ohio ranking among the top states for employment in those areas. If you’re someone eager to enter the field quickly and make a difference where it’s urgently needed, this kind of program allows you to do just that. You don’t waste time in entry-level review—you start with advanced, clinical-level material and immediately begin applying it in real-world practice.</p>
1075.  
1076.  
1077.  
1078. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-you-ll-study-and-achieve-in-twelve-months">What You’ll Study and Achieve in Twelve Months</h2>
1079.  
1080.  
1081.  
1082. <p>Once you&#8217;re admitted into the one-year&nbsp;<a href="https://onlinelearning.csuohio.edu/programs/online-msw-advanced" target="_blank">advanced standing MSW in Ohio</a>&nbsp;track, the learning experience is compact but substantial; the program skips over generalist content and instead launches you directly into specialized training. Courses often include advanced psychosocial assessment, evidence-informed therapeutic methods and deep dives into social justice, advocacy and policy analysis. If you&#8217;re working toward clinical licensure, these courses are designed to prepare you thoroughly for that path. You&#8217;ll also take research and evaluation courses that help you develop&nbsp;<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384841883_Digitalization_in_Social_Work_Opportunities_and_Challenges_for_Practitioners" target="_blank">data literacy skills</a>, which are increasingly vital in today&#8217;s outcome-driven service models.&nbsp;</p>
1083.  
1084.  
1085.  
1086. <p>Alongside coursework, you’ll complete approximately 560 hours of field practicum. These aren’t passive observational hours—these are immersive placements in healthcare centers, public agencies or nonprofit organizations. What you learn in class each week is directly reinforced by what you’re doing in the field. By the end of the year, you’ll have built a professional portfolio of experience and academic work that positions you for licensing exams and immediate entry into demanding roles across Ohio’s social services landscape.</p>
1087.  
1088.  
1089.  
1090. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ohio-s-social-service-system-feels-the-effect">Ohio’s Social Service System Feels the Effect</h2>
1091.  
1092.  
1093.  
1094. <p>The ripple effects of graduating more social workers in just one year are already being felt across the state. Agencies in areas like behavioral health, child welfare, school systems and healthcare are in urgent need of qualified professionals who can step into frontline roles. By supplying the workforce more quickly, the one-year MSW pipeline reduces strain on agencies where burnout and turnover have long been chronic issues. Graduates from these fast-track programs enter the field earlier and are often better prepared for clinical roles, thanks to the focused nature of their training.&nbsp;</p>
1095.  
1096.  
1097.  
1098. <p>This has real consequences for the communities they serve: shorter waitlists for counseling, more consistent case management and faster crisis intervention are all outcomes tied to increased staffing. The effects go beyond filling jobs; graduates can begin taking on supervisory responsibilities or participating in policy discussions earlier than those from traditional two-year paths. Their presence helps stabilize teams and supports more effective, culturally responsive service delivery across both rural and urban regions of the state.</p>
1099.  
1100.  
1101.  
1102. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-things-to-consider-if-you-re-thinking-of-this-path">Things to Consider if You’re Thinking of This Path</h2>
1103.  
1104.  
1105.  
1106. <p>While the benefits are substantial, it’s important to understand that a one-year MSW isn’t a shortcut in terms of effort. This is a full academic and professional workload compressed into a shorter timeline. You’ll be balancing a heavy course load while logging field hours and possibly juggling personal or professional responsibilities. That demands discipline and strong time-management skills. Financially, these programs can be cost-effective, as you’ll typically pay for fewer credit hours and spend less time out of the workforce.</p>
1107.  
1108.  
1109.  
1110. <p>However, it’s worth checking in advance if your scholarship options, financial aid eligibility or employer tuition support align with an accelerated timeline. If you&#8217;re aiming for licensure in Ohio, you’ll still need to complete 3,000 hours of supervised post-graduate practice, which generally takes about two years. The advantage is that you begin this process earlier. For the right candidate—someone organized,&nbsp;<a href="https://sciotocountydailynews.com/caked-in-blood-social-worker-sounds-the-alarm/" target="_blank">motivated&nbsp;</a>and ready to engage deeply—this track is both manageable and rewarding. It allows you to begin your career sooner, without sacrificing the depth or rigor of your training.</p>
1111.  
1112.  
1113.  
1114. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-you-the-catalyst-for-positive-change-in-ohio">You, the Catalyst for Positive Change in Ohio</h2>
1115.  
1116.  
1117.  
1118. <p>Choosing the accelerated MSW pathway in Ohio is more than an academic decision—it’s a way to insert yourself into a system in real need of new energy and leadership. With this route, you don’t wait two years to begin making an impact. You could be supporting at-risk youth, helping families navigate mental health systems or advocating for elder care access within a few months of starting your program. That early entry into the profession gives you a chance to shape agency culture, join interdisciplinary teams and influence real-world outcomes much sooner than your traditionally trained peers.&nbsp;</p>
1119.  
1120.  
1121.  
1122. <p>The state benefits too: rural counties see faster coverage in areas with provider shortages. Urban centers gain professionals who understand community-level dynamics. Moreover, across the board, the social services infrastructure gets stronger and more resilient. If you’re someone who wants to lead, build and support (rather than watch from the sidelines), this pathway offers a direct route to doing so. In twelve months, you can move from preparation to participation, from intent to action and from learning to lasting change.</p>

1126. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-takeaways">Key Takeaways</h3>
1127.  
1128.  
1129.  
1130. <ul class="wp-block-list">
1131. <li><strong>Ohio’s social work sector is growing.</strong> Employment is projected to rise 7% from 2022–2032, adding about 300 new roles annually across generalist and specialized areas.</li>

1138.  
1139. <li><strong>Ohio’s provider availability remains tight.</strong> The state had 349 mental health providers per 100,000 residents in 2024, with demand rising over 350% since 2013.</li>
1140.  
1141.  
1142.

Supported by Thiel’s Founders Fund and Joe Lonsdale, who is the co-founder of Palantir, Erebor will focus on serving tech and cryptocurrency companies, especially those involved in AI, defense, and advanced manufacturing, along with individuals connected to these fields. This development may help Columbus become a growing center for new, innovative businesses and bring notice to the region’s expanding tech environment.</p>
1166.  
1167.  
1168.  
1169. <p>Erebor, taking its name from the mountain in Tolkien’s The Hobbit, shows what its creators hope to achieve. The bank wants to get a national charter and run completely online, with another office in New York. With Owen Rapaport and Jacob Hirshman, who used to advise the stablecoin company Circle, as co-CEOs, Erebor wants to work with higher-risk areas that normal banks usually don&#8217;t serve. One main thing they will do is work with stablecoins like digital assets linked to currencies like the U.S. dollar. The bank plans to keep these on its balance sheet, which would make it a regulated business in the crypto world. This could make Erebor a critical financial partner for startups exploring the <a href="https://cryptonews.com/cryptocurrency/best-meme-coins/" target="_blank">next meme coin to explode</a> or other blockchain innovations. Investing in new coins can prove to be a lucrative venture for crypto investors.&nbsp;</p>
1170.  
1171.  
1172.  
1173. <p>Local leaders, including Ohio Chamber of Commerce President Steve Stivers and Columbus Chamber of Commerce President Derrick Clay, see Erebor as a catalyst for economic growth. Stivers highlighted Ohio’s “safe” bank charter and conservative regulatory environment as factors attracting the bank to Columbus, suggesting it could draw more tech firms to the region. With companies like Intel and Anduril already establishing a presence—Anduril’s Arsenal 1 campus in Pickaway County is expected to create 4,000 jobs—the bank could amplify central Ohio’s appeal. However, Stivers noted challenges, including the need for more housing and a stronger electrical grid to support this growth.</p>

1177. <p>Following the <a href="https://prmia.org/common/Uploaded%20files/PRM/Case%20Studies/Case_Study_SVB.pdf" target="_blank">Silicon Valley Bank failure</a>, many startups are having trouble finding funds. Erebor wants to fix this by giving banking services to tech and crypto companies. Their online model focuses on speed and fits what tech business owners want. Columbus is becoming a center for new ideas, and Erebor&#8217;s opening shows they think the area can compete with other tech centers.</p>
1178.  
1179.  
1180.  
1181. <p>Erebor&#8217;s opening depends on getting regulatory approval. If it launches, it could help Ohio&#8217;s tech industry. This institution could also help new companies grow, especially those working with cryptocurrency and AI. People in the field are watching for what happens next.</p>
1182.  
1183.  
1184.  
1185. <p>Erebor&#8217;s debut is a move forward for Ohio&#8217;s tech industry. Its lasting impact will depend on clearing the regulatory process, getting skilled workers, encouraging teamwork, meeting market demands, and setting itself apart from others. Together, these things will decide if Erebor is just a small change or if it really speeds up tech progress in Columbus.</p>

1202. <p>Casual dating, companionship arrangements, and non-traditional relationships are part of many adults’ lives. Instead of assuming one path fits everyone, people are setting their own expectations around what connection means to them.</p>
1203.  
1204.  
1205.  
1206. <p>Some are<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/better/lifestyle/how-build-emotional-intimacy-your-partner-starting-tonight-ncna1129846" target="_blank"> looking for emotional intimacy</a> without long-term plans. Others seek occasional companionship, shared experiences, or even professional encounters that align with their lifestyle. All of it is valid. What matters most is that choices are informed, safe, and rooted in personal comfort.</p>
1207.  
1208.  
1209.  
1210. <p><strong>What You Want Matters More Than Ever</strong></p>
1211.  
1212.  
1213.  
1214. <p>It helps to have a clear sense of why you’re open to casual relationships in the first place. Maybe you’re focusing on your career, keeping emotional space for personal growth, or simply enjoying independence. Whatever your reason, it’s valid and worth owning.</p>
1215.  
1216.  
1217.  
1218. <p>Setting clear intentions before engaging with others helps avoid frustration. If you’re looking for something uncomplicated, say so. If you’re open to physical connection but not emotional closeness, be clear. This is less about labeling and more about being honest with yourself.</p>
1219.  
1220.  
1221.  
1222. <p>No one else can define your preferences. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Having one for yourself builds confidence and makes communication easier.</p>
1223.  
1224.  
1225.  
1226. <p><strong>Navigating Encounters with Confidence and Care</strong></p>
1227.  
1228.  
1229.  
1230. <p>Once you’re clear on what you’re looking for, you’ll have an easier time identifying situations or people who align with your needs. Some individuals explore options like meeting local companions through platforms that offer profiles, reviews, and contact features.</p>
1231.  
1232.  
1233.  
1234. <p>For example, a few people seeking curated experiences may browse listings for<a href="https://adultsearch.com/us/new-york/brooklyn/female-escorts" target="_blank"> Brooklyn escorts</a>, especially when they value transparency and want to retain full control over how, when, and where they connect with someone. This is one way that discretion and autonomy can intersect. Platforms built around user safety, identity protection, and clear boundaries can offer more control than unfiltered social apps.</p>
1235.  
1236.  
1237.  
1238. <p>When searching for any kind of arrangement, whether through dating sites or directories that include escorts in Brooklyn, always read listings thoroughly and take your time before engaging. Look for signs of professionalism, clarity, and consistency. Avoid rushing through early communication. Slow is often safer.</p>
1239.  
1240.  
1241.  
1242. <p><strong>Creating and Enforcing Boundaries That Work for You</strong></p>
1243.  
1244.  
1245.  
1246. <p>Every casual interaction should start with clear boundaries. These may relate to time limits, types of contact, emotional expectations, or communication frequency. If something feels off when you’re setting those terms, it probably is.</p>
1247.  
1248.  
1249.  
1250. <p>You don’t have to explain every rule. You should express key preferences up front. This includes topics you’re not comfortable discussing, physical boundaries, and follow-up expectations. A respectful person won’t push back. If they do, it’s better to move on than to compromise for the sake of being agreeable.</p>
1251.  
1252.  
1253.  
1254. <p>Watch for consistency. If someone agrees to your preferences but acts otherwise, that’s a signal they’re not respecting your space. Keep a mental list of what feels okay and what doesn’t. Adjust as you gain experience, but don’t ignore early warning signs just to maintain the connection.</p>
1255.  
1256.  
1257.  
1258. <p><strong>Staying Safe in Every Situation</strong></p>
1259.  
1260.  
1261.  
1262. <p>Safety is not just about avoiding harm. It’s about staying in control of your environment. That includes the physical space, digital footprint, and emotional impact of each interaction.</p>
1263.  
1264.  
1265.  
1266. <p>When arranging to meet someone,<a href="https://rainn.org/articles/tips-safer-online-dating-and-dating-app-use" target="_blank"> choose public places</a> with exits in sight and activity nearby. Let a friend know where you’re going and when you expect to return. If possible, use separate transportation rather than sharing rides or letting anyone pick you up. Bring your own essentials, including ID and payment method.</p>
1267.  
1268.  
1269.  
1270. <p>There are also digital safety layers to consider. Apps that mask your number, track your location in real time, or let you send check-in alerts are worth exploring. These tools aren’t about fear. They’re about choice. When you’re prepared, you reduce the risk of relying on someone else’s judgment.</p>
1271.  
1272.  
1273.  
1274. <p>If you’re meeting someone who was listed as a Brooklyn escort or through a classified service, vet the profile thoroughly. Look for reviews, clarity in communication, and professionalism. Avoid anyone who avoids direct answers or rushes the process. Your safety should never feel like it’s up for negotiation.</p>
1275.  
1276.  
1277.  
1278. <p><strong>Owning the Experience Without Apology</strong></p>
1279.  
1280.  
1281.  
1282. <p>There’s a lot of pressure to explain or justify personal choices when it comes to relationships. Some people might question why you’re avoiding traditional paths. Others may try to attach meaning where there isn’t any. That’s their perspective, not yours.</p>
1283.  
1284.  
1285.  
1286. <p>Owning your experience begins with clarity. You know what you’re comfortable with and what you’re not. You decide what intimacy means in your life. This kind of confidence doesn’t come from matching social expectations. It comes from paying attention to your own values and sticking with them.</p>
1287.  
1288.  
1289.  
1290. <p>Shame has no place here. Choosing casual relationships doesn’t mean you’re avoiding commitment or closeness. It means you’re choosing what feels right. This could include meeting people casually through apps, seeking short-term companionship, or exploring listings for a Brooklyn escort service that respects autonomy and consent. These choices are about self-direction, not social approval.</p>
1291.  
1292.  
1293.  
1294. <p>Let others worry about how they define connection. What matters is that you’re clear with yourself, kind to those you interact with, and secure in your decisions. That’s where empowerment begins.</p>
1295.  
1296.  
1297.  
1298. <p><strong>Move Forward with Confidence and Clarity</strong></p>
1299.  
1300.  
1301.  
1302. <p>Staying empowered in casual relationships means being prepared, clear, and consistent. It’s not about being perfect or never taking risks. It’s about knowing how to respond when something feels off and recognizing when something feels right.</p>
1303.  
1304.  
1305.  
1306. <p>Choose partners or connections that respect your time and boundaries. Speak up if anything feels unclear or unbalanced. Take steps to protect your safety, online and offline. Avoid letting pressure or outside opinions guide your decisions. You have every right to engage with others on your terms.</p>
1307.  
1308.  
1309.  
1310. <p>The more intentional you are, the more empowered you’ll feel. The goal isn’t to explain your choices to others. It’s to make choices that work for you. That’s where confidence grows.</p>

1714. <p>Growing on TikTok in 2025 takes more than just creative videos and consistent posting. With millions of users uploading content daily, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd if your profile looks inactive.</p>
1715.  
1716.  
1717.  
1718. <p>When people see a low follower count, they usually scroll right past. But if your account looks popular and engaged, it instantly gains credibility. The algorithm also notices and becomes more likely to push your content to new users.</p>
1719.  
1720.  
1721.  
1722. <p>That’s why many creators, influencers, and brands buy TikTok followers as part of their growth strategy. It’s not about pretending to be famous. It’s about building early momentum, creating a strong first impression, and increasing your chances of real engagement.</p>
1723.  
1724.  
1725.  
1726. <p>In this guide, we’ll explain how buying followers can actually help your organic growth, review the best sites to buy from, and include success stories from users who saw meaningful results.</p>

1730. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-buying-tiktok-followers-can-help-you-grow-organically"><strong>Why Buying TikTok Followers Can Help You Grow Organically</strong></h2>
1731.  
1732.  
1733.  
1734. <p>TikTok promotes content from accounts that show signs of growth. One of the first things the algorithm checks is how many followers you have. A higher follower count makes your account look more active, which increases your chances of getting recommended to more users.</p>
1735.  
1736.  
1737.  
1738. <p>People are also more likely to take your content seriously if it looks like others are already paying attention. A decent follower base builds social proof, which creates a snowball effect. More followers lead to more views, which lead to more engagement and even more followers.</p>
1739.  
1740.  
1741.  
1742. <p>The key is to use this tactic smartly. Buying followers is most effective when it’s combined with consistent, high-quality content.</p>
1743.  
1744.  
1745.  
1746. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-real-vs-fake-followers-what-to-know"><strong>Real vs Fake Followers: What to Know</strong></h2>
1747.  
1748.  
1749.  
1750. <p>Not all follower services are equal. Some offer real or high-quality accounts that look authentic, while others just send bots that inflate your numbers without adding any real value.</p>
1751.  
1752.  
1753.  
1754. <p>Fake followers won’t engage with your content. And if your views and likes don’t match your follower count, TikTok might stop promoting your posts.</p>
1755.  
1756.  
1757.  
1758. <p>Real-looking followers, on the other hand, help your account appear trustworthy. Some may even interact with your content, boosting visibility further.</p>
1759.  
1760.  
1761.  
1762. <p>That’s why it’s important to choose a provider that focuses on quality, not just quantity. The goal is to boost your reach, not just inflate your stats.</p>

2113. <p><strong>JEFFERSONVILLE, Ohio — </strong>A widespread Verizon network outage has left thousands of residents in southern Ohio without cell phone and internet services, affecting data, voice, text, and wireless home internet since early Sunday morning. The disruption, centered southern Ohio and extends at least from Jeffersonville to Chillicothe and beyond, impacting Verizon customers and those using third-party carriers like Spectrum that rely on Verizon’s network.</p>
2114.  
2115.  
2116.  
2117. <p>The outage began at 2:58 a.m. EDT, according to Verizon, which acknowledged the issue and stated that engineers are working to restore services. The company estimates service restoration by 8:06 p.m. EDT on Sunday, though no specific cause for the disruption has been disclosed. Verizon has directed customers to its website for updates and to sign up for outage alerts.</p>
2118.  
2119.  
2120.  
2121. <p>Residents in Jeffersonville, a small village in Fayette County, reported significant disruptions to daily activities, including remote work, emergency communications, and access to online services. The outage’s reach to Chillicothe, approximately 30 miles south, suggests a broad impact across Ross and Fayette counties, with social media reports indicating spotty service in surrounding areas and surrounding counties. </p>
2122.  
2123.  
2124.  
2125. <p>Verizon faced a massive service disruption in September 2024, affecting millions of users across Ohio and other states, according to Downdetector. That incident left many iPhone users in “SOS only” mode, prompting widespread criticism of the carrier’s reliability.</p>
2126.  
2127.  
2128.  
2129. <p>Customers seeking assistance can contact Verizon Customer Service at 800-922-0204 or check the network status on Verizon’s website, though access requires a login. The company has advised users to try basic troubleshooting steps, such as toggling airplane mode or restarting devices, though these may not resolve issues tied to the broader network failure.</p>
2130.  
2131.  
2132.  
2133. <p>Those with compatible iPhones may still send text messages via the phone’s “satellite” feature. </p>

2615. <p>A pair of new bills introduced in May could bring major changes to how Ohioans gamble. Senate Bill 197 and House Bill 298 are currently under discussion and focus on legalizing online casinos in the state. Should it pass, the Ohio adult population could legally play live-money poker, blackjack, roulette, and slot machines on their phones or computers, wherever they are in the state.</p>
2616.  
2617.  
2618.  
2619. <p>The proposals are not merely about greater freedom to players. According to lawmakers who are supporting the bills, it is also a good financial move. The projections estimate that the Senate Bill 197 will bring in about half a billion dollars in the annual tax intake, and the House Bill 298 pegs the figure even higher at eight hundred million dollars. This is money that would be spent on schools, public health and infrastructure, and not at the expense of increased taxes.</p>
2620.  
2621.  
2622.  
2623. <p>The boundaries are well defined in the two bills. Players would have to be 21 years of age and older to play. Deposit limits and time limits are planned too, to avoid addiction and control the process of gambling. This is meant to promote open access, but not at the expense of safety.</p>
2624.  
2625.  
2626.  
2627. <p>Currently, Ohio residents looking to gamble online often turn to offshore casino sites. These platforms exist in a legal gray area, as they are not licensed by Ohio regulators and operate under international laws. Many of these casinos offer wide-ranging game selections and generous bonuses, appealing to players who want to <a href="https://www.pokerstrategy.com/online-casinos/offshore-casinos/" target="_blank">play without regional restrictions</a>.</p>
2628.  
2629.  
2630.  
2631. <p>Legalizing online casinos under state oversight would give players access to secure platforms, vetted operators, and real support if needed. It also brings that money—now going to offshore companies—back into Ohio’s economy.</p>
2632.  
2633.  
2634.  
2635. <p>Not everyone agrees on how the state should go about it, though. The two bills propose different tax structures. <a href="https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/sb197" target="_blank">Senate Bill 197</a> suggests taxing existing license holders at 36% and new ones at 40%. That would be the highest online gambling tax rate in the country. House Bill 298, meanwhile, puts forward a 28% tax rate, more in line with neighboring states like Michigan.</p>
2636.  
2637.  
2638.  
2639. <p>That difference is causing a stir. Some operators think a higher tax might slow down the growth of the market or discourage new platforms from setting up shop in Ohio. Others argue that the demand is strong enough to support it and that a higher rate means more public benefit.</p>
2640.  
2641.  
2642.  
2643. <p>Casino companies across the state are weighing in. Boyd Gaming, for instance, sees online gambling as a way to connect with a younger audience without pulling people away from physical locations. They believe digital games can work alongside in-person experiences, not replace them.</p>
2644.  
2645.  
2646.  
2647. <p>Caution though, particularly on the part of operations such as <a href="https://www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/eldorado-gaming-scioto-downs" target="_blank">Scioto Downs in Columbus</a>. The racino is a large employer and an entertainment destination and its management is monitoring these bills. The general manager has indicated that in the event that online gambling is legalized, their racino might fall by the wayside unless they are permitted to diversify their options as well. In particular, he wants racinos approved to offer table games as well as slots and racing so that they do not lose out to other venues.</p>
2648.  
2649.  
2650.  
2651. <p>The discussion is only at an inception. During the next several months, there will be plenty of public hearings and it is probable that the ultimate version of any legislation will consist of alterations likely to be brought on by comments of the voters, casino operators, and responsible gaming agencies.</p>
2652.  
2653.  
2654.  
2655. <p>Ohio is at the margin of that potential change in how people play-and how the state profits by it, until then. To many, it is more than games. It is all about access, regulation, and being in line with where the world is already going.</p>

2690. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio </strong> — Southern Ohio Medical Center in Portsmouth, along with hospitals in Fayette County, Jackson County, and Adams County are among 11 Ohio facilities at risk of closure if President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; becomes law. The reconciliation package, passed by House Republicans in May 2025, imposes over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, plus $500 billion in Medicare reductions, jeopardizing the financial stability of rural hospitals across Ohio.</p>
2691.  
2692.  
2693.  
2694. <p>A new version of the bill, which was passed by the Senate on Tuesday still leaves the hospitals at the same level of risk as the bill heads back to the House. </p>
2695.  
2696.  
2697.  
2698. <p>The bill, a flagship of Trump’s second-term agenda, seeks to overhaul federal health care spending while providing tax breaks for high-income earners. Proponents claim it will streamline programs and spur economic growth, but critics warn it could devastate rural health care, leaving millions uninsured and forcing hospitals to reduce services or close entirely.</p>

2705.  
2706. <p>Data from the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina identifies 11 Ohio hospitals as vulnerable due to their reliance on Medicaid patients or sustained financial losses. These hospitals, flagged for serving high Medicaid populations or enduring three consecutive years of negative total margins, are:</p>

2756. <p>Southern Ohio Medical Center, a major employer in Portsmouth, anchors Scioto County’s health care and economy. Fayette County Memorial Hospital in Washington Court House serves a high-poverty region, while Holzer Medical Centers in Jackson and Gallipolis are critical for Appalachian communities, offering emergency and obstetric care, along with Adams County.</p>

2761.  
2762.  
2763.  
2764. <p>Introduced in early 2025, the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; is a reconciliation package aimed at reducing federal spending and cutting taxes for corporations and wealthy individuals. It slashes Medicaid and Affordable Care Act funding by over $1 trillion over a decade and cuts Medicare by $500 billion. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates these reductions could strip health insurance from 16 million Americans.</p>
2765.  
2766.  
2767.  
2768. <p>Rural hospitals, already grappling with low reimbursement rates and declining patient volumes, face acute risks. The Sheps Center reports that 338 rural hospitals nationwide, including Ohio’s 11, are vulnerable due to Medicaid dependence or persistent unprofitability. In Ohio, reduced Medicaid revenue could force hospitals to cut services like emergency care or obstetrics, convert to clinics, or close entirely.</p>
2769.  
2770.  
2771.  
2772. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-voices-from-ohio-and-beyond">Voices from Ohio and Beyond</h3>
2773.  
2774.  
2775.  
2776. <p>Governor Mike DeWine has not made a definitive public statement fully endorsing or opposing the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; His comments reflect a nuanced position: support for certain Medicaid reforms like work requirements, but significant concern about the bill’s impact on rural hospitals and vulnerable populations. His actions, such as vetoing state budget provisions to protect Medicaid access for children, suggest he may resist aspects of the bill that threaten Ohio’s health care infrastructure.</p>
2777.  
2778.  
2779.  
2780. <p>Ohio lawmakers from both parties have voiced concerns about the bill’s impact. However, the representatives who represent Adams, Fayette, Jackson, and Scioto county hospitals voted in favor of the bill; they included Congressmen David Taylor and Mike Carey.</p>
2781.  
2782.  
2783.  
2784. <p>&#8220;The Senate’s Big Beautiful Bill still doesn’t cut spending—promising future cuts isn’t enough. This runaway spending train is headed for a crash. I can’t support it,&#8221; Republican Congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio expressed. </p>
2785.  
2786.  
2787.  
2788. <p>“Cutting Medicaid and Medicare isn’t just about budgets—it’s about denying care to our most vulnerable,” Jason Smith, a nurse said. “Hospitals in Portsmouth, Fayette, Jackson, and Adams are on the edge, and this bill could push them over, costing us jobs and access to care.”</p>
2789.  
2790.  
2791.  
2792. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-community-impact-and-uncertain-future">Community Impact and Uncertain Future</h3>
2793.  
2794.  
2795.  
2796. <p>In Portsmouth, the potential loss of Southern Ohio Medical Center has alarmed residents. “If our hospital closes, we’re looking at longer drives for emergencies, which could be deadly,” said Tammy Evans, a local teacher. The facility employs hundreds and provides specialized care critical to Scioto County.</p>
2797.  
2798.  
2799.  
2800. <p>Fayette County Memorial Hospital’s closure would leave residents like Lisa Carter, a nurse, facing a 30-mile trip to the nearest emergency room. “For heart attacks or strokes, that’s a death sentence,” Carter said. In Jackson County, Holzer Medical Center support local economies and provide care unavailable elsewhere in the region.</p>
2801.  
2802.  
2803.  
2804. <p>Nationwide, 83 rural hospitals are at the highest risk of financial distress, according to the Sheps Center’s financial distress index. Ohio’s 11 at-risk facilities show the state’s exposure. If the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; becomes law, experts predict a surge in closures, worsening health disparities and economic challenges in rural areas.</p>
2805.  
2806.  
2807.  
2808. <p>The bill passed the Senate this week with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. It now heads back to the House for reconsideration with amendments. </p>

2995. <p><strong>COLUMBUS, Ohio &#8212;</strong> Ohio has taken a significant step to reform law enforcement practices with the passage of Senate Bill 114, a new law that prohibits the use of ticket and arrest quotas by law enforcement agencies across the state. Signed into law by the  General Assembly, the legislation, codified as section 109.70 of the Ohio Revised Code, aims to eliminate the controversial practice of mandating officers to meet specific numerical targets for arrests or citations within a set timeframe.</p>
2996.  
2997.  
2998.  
2999. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-are-ticket-quotas">What Are Ticket Quotas?</h2>
3000.  
3001.  
3002.  
3003. <p>Ticket quotas refer to mandates requiring law enforcement officers to issue a predetermined number of citations or make a specific number of arrests within a given period, such as a week or month. These quotas are often used as performance metrics to evaluate, promote, compensate, or discipline officers. Historically, quotas have been criticized for incentivizing unnecessary or unjustified enforcement actions, eroding public trust, and prioritizing quantity over quality in policing.</p>
3004.  
3005.  
3006.  
3007. <p>The practice of ticket quotas has roots in the early 20th century when some police departments used them to ensure productivity or generate municipal revenue through fines. Over time, quotas became a point of contention, with officers and advocacy groups arguing they pressured police to issue citations or make arrests for minor infractions, sometimes targeting marginalized communities disproportionately. Verbal or written directives from supervisors, such as memos or informal expectations, have been reported as common methods to enforce these quotas, though some agencies deny their use, citing informal &#8220;expectations&#8221; instead.</p>
3008.  
3009.  
3010.  
3011. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-senate-bill-114-key-provisions">Senate Bill 114: Key Provisions</h2>
3012.  
3013.  
3014.  
3015. <p>Senate Bill 114, enacted by the Ohio General Assembly, explicitly bans the use of quotas by law enforcement officials and agencies. The law defines a &#8220;quota&#8221; as &#8220;a mandate of a finite number of arrests made or citations issued for any offense that a local or state police officer must meet in a specified time period.&#8221; It applies to a wide range of law enforcement entities, including county sheriffs, village marshals, municipal and township police departments, township constables, joint police districts, and the state highway patrol.</p>
3016.  
3017.  
3018.  
3019. <p>The new law prohibits agencies from:</p>
3020.  
3021.  
3022.  
3023. <ol class="wp-block-list">
3024. <li>Establishing or maintaining formal or informal plans that use quotas to evaluate, promote, compensate, transfer, or discipline officers.</li>
3025.  
3026.  
3027.  
3028. <li>Requiring or suggesting that officers meet quotas.</li>
3029.  
3030.  
3031.  
3032. <li>Offering financial rewards or other benefits based on meeting quotas.</li>
3033. </ol>
3034.  
3035.  
3036.  
3037. <p>However, the law allows agencies to collect and analyze data on arrests and citations to ensure officers comply with legal obligations or to assess enforcement patterns, provided these actions do not involve quotas.</p>
3038.  
3039.  
3040.  
3041. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-enforcement-and-oversight">Enforcement and Oversight</h2>
3042.  
3043.  
3044.  
3045. <p>To ensure compliance, Senate Bill 114 mandates that the Ohio Attorney General create an online form accessible on their website, allowing officers to report quota violations anonymously or otherwise. Upon receiving a report, the Attorney General is required to investigate within one year, providing the accused agency an opportunity to respond. If a violation is confirmed, the Attorney General will issue a cease-and-desist order to halt the use of quotas.</p>
3046.  
3047.  
3048.  
3049. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-impact-and-significance">Impact and Significance</h2>
3050.  
3051.  
3052.  
3053. <p>The passage of Senate Bill 114 marks a shift in Ohio’s approach to law enforcement accountability. Critics of quotas argue that the practice can lead to over-policing, strained community relations, and a focus on minor violations at the expense of addressing serious crimes. Supporters of the law believe it will encourage officers to exercise discretion based on the merits of each situation rather than pressure to meet arbitrary goals.</p>
3054.  
3055.  
3056.  
3057. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-historical-context-and-public-response">Historical Context and Public Response</h2>
3058.  
3059.  
3060.  
3061. <p>Ticket quotas have long been a contentious issue nationwide, with several states, including California, New York, and Illinois, enacting similar bans in recent years. In Ohio, reports of quotas have surfaced periodically, often through whistleblower accounts or media investigations, though some agencies have denied their existence, claiming performance metrics are mischaracterized. </p>
3062.  
3063.  
3064.  
3065. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-looking-ahead">Looking Ahead</h2>
3066.  
3067.  
3068.  
3069. <p>As Senate Bill 114 takes effect, Ohio law enforcement agencies will need to adapt their performance evaluation systems to comply with the new standards. The Attorney General’s office is expected to roll out the reporting form soon, providing a tool for oversight. </p>
3070.  
3071.  
3072.  
3073. <p>The bill was signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine on Tuesday.</p>

3130. <p><strong>WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Ohio —</strong> A registered sex offender was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison Tuesday for sexually assaulting and exploiting children in person and online, the U.S. District Court in Columbus announced.</p>
3131.  
3132.  
3133.  
3134. <p>Brian J. Roberts, 44, of Washington Court House, Ohio, sexually abused a 3-year-old boy and distributed child pornography involving infants and toddlers, court documents revealed.</p>
3135.  
3136.  
3137.  
3138. <p>Federal agents launched an investigation into Roberts due to his activities on dark web sites dedicated to child sexual abuse. From November 2022 to August 2023, Roberts exploited the young boy, uploading videos and photos of the abuse. One video, titled “Preview.mp4,” depicted over three minutes of abuse and concluded with the text “NEXT TIME…POTTY FUN!”</p>
3139.  
3140.  
3141.  
3142. <p>Roberts uploaded 195 images to a dark web site, more than 100 of which depicted child sexual abuse of babies and toddlers as young as 3 weeks old, according to court records.</p>
3143.  
3144.  
3145.  
3146. <p>A twice-convicted sex offender, Roberts had prior convictions in Madison and Clark counties. At the time of his arrest, he faced an active warrant in Highland County for telecommunications harassment targeting a family member of the 3-year-old victim in an attempt to contact the child.</p>

3169. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —</strong> Ross County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man early Monday after a tense standoff at his Chillicothe home, where he had barricaded himself, threatened suicide, and claimed to have placed Tannerite explosives at entry points, authorities said.</p>
3170.  
3171.  
3172.  
3173. <p>The incident began late Sunday when deputies responded to a call about a suicidal male on Narrows Road. The caller, identified as the girlfriend of Logan Allerding, reported that Allerding was intoxicated, depressed, and had barricaded himself inside their residence at 633 Charleston Pike. The woman told dispatch that Allerding threatened to shoot Tannerite, a binary explosive, if law enforcement approached, according to a sheriff’s report.</p>
3174.  
3175.  
3176.  
3177. <p>Deputies and Springfield EMS staged at a nearby Corner Market, and Narrows Road was blocked off for safety. A neighboring family of 12 was evacuated due to the explosion risk. The woman, who had left the residence at Allerding’s insistence, said he had been drinking heavily, recently lost his job, and was under significant stress. She reported seeing Allerding mix Tannerite and place jars by the doors, raising fears he might harm himself or others. The woman also mentioned hearing gunshots over the phone earlier, consistent with a Highland County Sheriff’s Office alert about a motorcyclist firing shots near a Dollar General.</p>

3179.  
3180.  
3181. <p>Deputy Luke Ramsey made phone contact with Allerding around 1:10 a.m. Monday. Allerding, initially cooperative, said he was on his porch smoking and had no intention of hurting himself or others. He denied having firearms on him but admitted to having guns in a safe and Tannerite “all over the house,” though he claimed it was unmixed and secure. After negotiations, Allerding agreed to meet deputies at his driveway.</p>
3182.  
3183.  
3184.  
3185. <p>Sergeant Jacob Riege and Deputy Ramsey approached the residence with the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team nearby. Allerding, visibly unarmed with hands raised, was patted down, handcuffed, and arrested for inducing panic. A 9mm bullet was later found in his pocket during a jail pat-down, deputies said. He was transported to Ross County Jail and placed on suicide watch without incident.</p>
3186.  
3187.  
3188.  
3189. <p>A friend of Allerding’a briefly visited the residence to de-escalate the situation and reported seeing four jars of Tannerite by the doors. The friend said he took a pistol from Allerding before leaving.</p>
3190.  
3191.  
3192.  
3193. <p>On Monday, deputies secured a search warrant for the residence. Detectives found several firearms, Tannerite, and a greyish-white powder on a kitchen table, all collected as evidence, according to Deputy Roderic Dutcher.</p>
3194.  
3195.  
3196.  
3197. <p>The case has been forwarded to Highland County Sheriff’s Office for further investigation related to the reported Dollar General shooting. Allerding’s current status at the jail was not immediately available.</p>

3422. <p><strong>CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —</strong> A local man found himself in a sticky situation on Sunday, after reportedly refusing to vacate a bathroom at Tiffin Towers, leading to a flush of legal consequences.</p>
3423.  
3424.  
3425.  
3426. <p>At approximately 5:02 a.m., Chillicothe Police Officer Justin Tuttle was dispatched to 78 S. Walnut Street following reports of a subject clogging up the facilities. Upon arrival, Tuttle observed the man exiting the main lobby, seemingly relieved to be out in the open air. When questioned, the man admitted he was “stuck on the throne” longer than expected, citing an inability to get off the toilet as the root of his delay.</p>
3427.  
3428.  
3429.  
3430. <p>“I was just trying to handle my business,” the man told the officer, “but it turned into a real sit-uation.”</p>
3431.  
3432.  
3433.  
3434. <p>Brooke Anne Parrish, an employee at Tiffin Towers, wasn’t amused by the prolonged potty pause. She requested that the man be barred from the premises, citing the need to keep the property’s flow uninterrupted. Officer Tuttle informed the man he was officially banned from the building, warning that any return could lead to a criminal trespass charge—a consequence that could really back things up for him.</p>

Over the decades, its role has expanded to include specialized units such as Aviation, Special Response Team, Crash Reconstruction, Criminal Patrol, and Investigative Services, which handle crimes on state-owned or leased properties, digital forensics, and executive protection for the governor. The Patrol also oversees driver’s license and commercial vehicle regulations through its License and Commercial Standards unit. With a mission to protect life and property, OSHP is an internationally accredited agency operating through nine districts, each with local posts like Chillicothe.</p>

3512. <p>OSHP employs a diverse workforce, including troopers, dispatchers, forensic specialists, and administrative professionals. As of recent updates, the Patrol is actively recruiting to fill positions for its 178th cadet class, emphasizing community engagement through regional recruitment liaisons in each district. The hiring process is selective, involving knowledge and physical fitness tests, polygraph examinations, and psychological and medical evaluations. Troopers like Tyler L. Boetcher, named the 2024 Chillicothe Post Trooper of the Year, exemplify the Patrol’s commitment to leadership and community service. Employment opportunities are promoted at events like the Chillicothe open house, where candidates can learn about career paths and benefits. In 2024, OSHP recognized employees like Forensic Computer Specialist Daniel P. Maher for their contributions, showing the variety of roles available beyond traditional trooper positions.</p>

3516. <p>The Ohio State Highway Patrol compiles extensive data on traffic and criminal activities. According to 2024 reports, OSHP responded to significant incidents, including 16 fatal crashes resulting in 16 deaths during the July Fourth period. The Patrol’s Office of Investigative Services has been active in combating online child predation and internet crimes, with recent operations targeting these offenses. In 2024, forensic specialist Daniel P. Maher conducted 644 digital forensic examinations, analyzing 258.44 terabytes of data across 150+ cases, showcasing OSHP’s role in digital crime investigations. Additionally, the Patrol’s Criminal Patrol unit, active in areas like Chillicothe, focuses on intercepting illegal activities such as drug trafficking and stolen vehicle recovery, with troopers like Boetcher earning awards for their efforts. Statewide crash data is available through OSHP’s Crash Retrieval System, which logs reports from all Ohio law enforcement agencies for statistical analysis.</p>
