Councilman Wendell Young waives appearance in court
Cincinnati Councilman Wendell Young waived his appearance in court for his arraignment Friday.
Young pleaded not guilty to felony tampering with records charge Thursday and was released on his own recognizance.
He is next scheduled to appear before Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman on May 12.
Young, a Democrat, was indicted earlier this month and is facing up to three years in prison.
Judge Ruehlman presided over that case as well, which involved Young, Greg Landsman, P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Seelbach and Tamaya Dennard.
A settlement was reached in the case, and in the final hearing, Ruehlman scolded the councilmembers and said they should all resign.
