TOLEDO - A Salem Township man convicted of making threats to Ottawa County schools won an appeal to have his case back in court to determine if his conviction can be expunged.
In his appeal, Charles Tingler argued that his record should be expunged and records in his 2014 case sealed, because the trial court did not provide a detailed explanation for denying his motion.
Tingler was charged in April 2014 after make bomb and gun threats at schools, including threats to shoot up Port Clinton Middle School, and was later convicted during a March 2015 trial of two counts of inducing panic, disrupting public services, and aggravated menacing.
