City of Hilliard: Settlement reached with former accounting firm for $35,000
ThisWeek group
The city of Hilliard and its former accounting firm, Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., finalized an out-of-court settlement April 12, ending a lawsuit the city had filed in 2019 against the accounting firm.
The settlement for $35,000 is one of several lawsuits that stemmed from the theft of money by the city’s former deputy director of recreation and parks, Heather Ernst, who in October 2018, in a plea bargain, pleaded guilty to one count of theft in office, a third-degree felony, and one count of attempted tampering with records, a fourth-degree felony.

Local and federal law enforcement, working in conjunction, spent years investigating large-scale narcotics traffickers in an effort that ultimately brought down the money-laundering ring.
According to court documents, beginning around 2013 and continuing until September 2019, the defendants conspired to distribute heroin, fentanyl and marijuana and commit large-scale money laundering.
The schemes relied on the use of small businesses that held themselves out as cell phone stores. The stores sold few, if any, cell phones, and they conducted little, if any, legitimate business otherwise. Rather, the stores were merely front businesses for drug traffickers to send large amounts of money related to their drug trafficking from Columbus to Mexico.
