Junction City asks court for favorable decision in lawsuit over seized police dog

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Village of Junction City and two village officials have asked a federal court to grant them favorable judgment in a lawsuit brought against them by a former interim police chief, after village officials seized a police dog that both he and the village claimed was their property. In a motion filed Nov. 2 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, the defendants — Junction City, Mayor Edwin Keister and Police Chief Amy English — contend that plaintiff Casey Williams’ case against them relies heavily on his claim that a male Belgian Malinois dog named Apollo belonged to him when English, assisted by Lancaster Police, seized the animal from Williams’ residence with a search warrant. But this is not true, they insist. “Nearly every claim (in Williams’ complaint) depends on Plaintiff’s assertion that he owned Apollo,” the motion states. “He did not.” It notes that in an earlier version of Williams’ lawsuit, the court had “already rejected Plaintiff’s ownership theory,” concluding that Williams’ allegations “more plausibly established that Apollo remained village property.” Williams first filed suit in January 2024, shortly after the dog was taken from him. His case briefly caught the

Former Etna Twp. employee sues, says age discrimination led to resignation

A former Etna Township administrator, more than a year after calling the township’s culture toxic , is suing the township, alleging trustees discriminated and retaliated against him because of his age. Bill Spurgeon, 63, became the township’s third administrator in 16 months in April 2025, but left just two months later after saying he would resign if the township didn’t change its culture . His lawsuit, filed in August, alleges that trustees made his working conditions so hostile that he felt no other choice than to quit. The township’s attorney, Patrick Kasson, declined to comment, but mentioned that Spurgeon didn't cite his allegations during his resignation. “We definitely think age was the deciding factor in why they made it so miserable for him,” Spurgeon’s attorney, Mike DeWitt, told The Advocate. “They wanted to get rid of him, so then they made his life miserable, so he quit.” In court records, the township denied the allegations, asked Licking County Common Pleas Judge David Branstool to dismiss the lawsuit because Spurgeon chose to resign. Spurgeon alleges he was constructively discharged, meaning people made his working environment so bad that it was intolerable. The lawsuit states Spurgeon seeks relief because he suffered damages,

Plaintiffs in short-term rental lawsuit ask judge to sanction defendant company

LOGAN — After 20 homeowners in a Green Township housing subdivision filed a lawsuit against a Florida company for buying a home there and turning it into a short-term rental, the company responded with a countersuit, alleging that the plaintiffs were interfering with its attempts to sell the property. Now the plaintiffs from Brad-Mer Acres have fired back with a motion asking a judge to dismiss the counterclaim, and to sanction the defendant company for “frivolous conduct.” In filing the countersuit, the motion alleges, defendant Palm Side Paradise LLC (PSP) is trying to “bully” the homeowners. “Because the counterclaim is not warranted under existing law and serves only to increase the cost of this litigation, Plaintiffs also request a hearing on sanctions,” the motion states. In August 2024 PSP bought a five-bedroom house in the subdivision, turned it into a short-term rental (STR) for up to 16 guests, and began marketing it on websites such as Airbnb.com and VRBO.com. In response, 10 residents of the subdivision filed a lawsuit in Hocking County Common Pleas Court, in which they argued that using the house as an STR violates Brad-Mer’s restrictive covenants. They also claimed that the rental was creating a nuisance.
