County Sheriff

— The sheriff’s civil office reported at 12:44 p.m. Friday they received multiple calls from a man, threatening in nature, regarding his recent stay at the county jail for charges of telephone harassment. He wanted to know if the sheriff was a veteran and wanted to know who to talk to about civil rights violations he endured while in the jail. He kept cutting off the people who he was speaking with and claimed he had already gone over their head and spoken to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. He also made it clear he was taping the conversation. He was informed that if he called the sheriff’s office again for a non-emergency he would be arrested for telephone harassment.
