COLUMBUS, Ohio The Ohio Southern District Court has charged a Whitehall man after he allegedly kicked in a window at the U.S. Capitol during the riot on Jan 6.
The court affidavit says Troy Faulkner was seen in a YouTube video in a jacket that had Faulkner Painting on the back and was seen kicking in a window at the U.S. Capitol. A report from the Ohio Secretary of State s office said Faulkner did own a painting business in the Whitehall area.
An FBI agent talked to an officer at the Whitehall Police Department where the officer confirmed that he had arrested Faulkner in the past and confirmed his identity in the YouTube video.
An East Side barbershop that city officials say doubled as an illegal after-hours club where police routinely responded to complaints of gunfire and other problems has been shut down by court order.
Franklin County Environmental Court on Thursday granted the request of Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein s office to issue a restraining order, temporarily vacating and shuttering the barbershop, which is located in the middle of a small commercial strip center at 3301-3309 East Main Street. The center at one point also housed a carryout and a tax preparation business, but the barbershop was the only operating business.
According to the city attorney s office, the barbershop also served as a front for an illicit night club serving alcohol without a liquor permit and an apparent haven for alcohol, drugs, public disturbances and violence.
Nearly $78,000 of taxes and fees paid by Whitehall Township residents to the tax collector’s office in 2018 and 2019 are unaccounted for, according to the results of a third-party investigation revealed by commissioners at their public meeting Monday night.
