WEATHERSFIELD A township police officer, who also trains police dogs, pleaded not guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor falsification charge.
David Blosser III, 50, 3069 Durst Clagg Road NE, Bazetta, was arraigned before Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Judge Ronald J. Rice, but Blosser’s attorney has filed a motion seeking to have the case moved to Warren Municipal Court.
Blosser was booked into the Trumbull County jail, but immediately released on a personal recognizance bond ordered by Rice.
Attorney Sam Amendolara said that since the charge is a misdemeanor, the prosecutors in the lower court are “more than capable” of handling Blosser’s case.

WEATHERSFIELD A township police officer, who also trains police dogs, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave after being charged with a misdemeanor count of falsification.
David Blosser III, 50, 3069 Durst Clagg Road NE, Bazetta, was indicted Wednesday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court. The charge is not related to his duties as a police officer, according to a written statement from Weathersfield police Chief Michael Naples Jr.
No information on the charge was given. Blosser is to be arraigned April 8 before Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Ronald Rice. Blosser intends to plead not guilty, Naples said.
According to newspaper archives, Blosser was hired full-time by Weathersfield in December 2014, but worked part time for Weathersfield and Fowler before being hired full time. He was the police dog handler for both townships.
