The Ohio Department of Health concluded that fentanyl is the primary reason for Ohio's inordinate number of overdose deaths. So I'm pleased to report that after fighting for a fix for over three years, Ohio law enforcement, prosecutors and judges will soon have an enhanced weapon to fight those dealing this death.
Once again the Wayne County Child Support Enforcement Agency was recognized for "Best Performance in Support Order Establishment" in the medium caseload division from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services for the sixth consecutive year. Speaker of the House of Representatives Cliff Rosenberger and Representative Scott Wiggam recently issued a certificate to the agency applauding it for its recent honor and saluting those who have contributed to its success.

WOOSTER — In all his years as a prosecutor, Mike Rickett told the court, he has never seen a defendant more “callous” and “manipulative” than Paul Claren.
“It is clear that this defendant has a history of retaliating ... the defendant has such hate in his heart,” Rickett said, during Claren’s sentencing Thursday morning.
Claren was given life in prison without the chance for parole by Judge Mark K. Wiest.
