Threat Allegations Entangle Candidates

Rosemary Oglesby-Henry, a Republican candidate for the 1st Congressional District, was charged by Cincinnati police with misdemeanor aggravated menacing for allegedly pointing a gun at a man in a Westwood home.

The man who made the accusation, Kevin Farmer, a Republican candidate for Cincinnati City Council, was previously charged with domestic violence against Oglesby-Henry, with the charge later dropped.

No firearm was found at the scene of the alleged threat by Oglesby-Henry, and her attorney said no gun was involved.

Oglesby-Henry announced her campaign for Congress earlier this month. She is the founder of the nonprofit Rosemary’s Babies, which supports teen mothers.

Thieves Target Apples and Pumpkins

Lynd Fruit Farm in Pataskala is adding stricter measures, including the involvement of law enforcement, after more alleged thefts at the apple orchard.

Meanwhile, 300 pumpkins worth more than $6,000 were stolen from Sam’s Pumpkin Patch in Pickerington last week. Pumpkin patch owner Terry Dunlap reported the theft to the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office.

Earlier this month, Lynd Fruit Farm announced plans to install undercover security after several people were caught hiding apples in their cars.

Now, Lynd has begun involving the sheriff’s office. Four recent incidents involved alleged thefts totaling $720, with apples hidden under seats, in spare tire compartments, and in a glove box.
