Central Ohio – Wildlife District 1
State wildlife officers Chad Grote and Antoinette Jolliff, assigned to Marion and Licking counties respectively, observed two men fishing at Delaware Wildlife Area while working a litter enforcement project. One of the men picked up a can and tossed it to the side. The officers then observed the man pack up and leave without the can and other items. The officers met him at his vehicle and asked about the trash. The man could not produce any of the cans or the bait container with which he was seen. The officers then found the cans and container in the weeds near his fishing location. The man was issued a summons for state property litter and was found guilty in Delaware Municipal Court. He paid $214 in fines and court costs. Illegal dumping and littering on our public lands is a problem that Ohio wildlife officers work hard to address. If you witness littering on public land, contact local law enforcement authorities

Central Ohio – Wildlife District 1
In January, state wildlife officer Chad Grote, assigned to Marion County, was contacted by the Delaware Wildlife Area Shooting Range because someone had found a firearm that was left behind by a range user. Officer Grote tracked down the owner on the phone. The person had not shot the gun, but had brought it down with several others he planned to shoot at the range. After a brief conversation, the person was able to describe it in detail. The thankful owner was reunited with his firearm thanks to officer Grote and the range staff.

America s justice system hinges on a legal defense that advocates for the rights of the accused, and Delaware County s first public defender said he is the man for the job.
“As our county has grown, it has become apparent that the next step in transitioning is to create a public-defender office,” commissioner Gary Merrell said at the time.
Commissioners said the step was taken in part to mitigate billings of about $1.06 million paid for the defense in 2,973 cases in 2019.
Cornely, a 1993 Olentangy High School graduate, previously served three years as deputy director in the Office of the Ohio Public Defender. He also was director of Ross County’s public-defender office and was an assistant public defender in Athens County.
