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.
