Coshocton to study future of law enforcement services

Correction made regarding the safety and security levy being an income tax levy COSHOCTON − City officials are commissioning a $35,000 study of Coshocton's law enforcement needs and its contract with the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office. However, Mayor Mark Mills said the review doesn't mean the city is preparing to establish its own police department. Mills believes the law enforcement feasibility study will benefit the city and the sheriff's office be examining needs and the services currently provided. He didn't expect the city to pursue establishing a police department anytime soon, but wants information available should the city consider doing so in the future. "If we ever decide to say, 'Hey, we're not going to contract with the sheriff's office, we're going to do law enforcement on our own,' then that document exists," Mills said. "It's not a gotcha. It's not a 'we want to do something else.' It's 'we're going to gather the data, put it together and we're going to have it.'" Sheriff Chris Walters was made aware of the city administration's intent to pursue the study before the proposal was presented to city council. He said his office will cooperate with consultants.

Accounting error caused Coshocton City Schools funding discrepancy

COSHOCTON – A dispute over Coshocton City Schools' property tax revenue has been traced to a district accounting error that affected both its reported fund balances and state financial forecast. The district said it received the correct amount of property tax revenue from the Coshocton County Auditor's Office but mistakenly placed some of the money in the general fund instead of the permanent improvement fund. The clarification follows a disagreement over previously reported figures showing the district receiving $453,962 less in its general fund in 2026 compared with 2025. Coshocton County Auditor Grant Daugherty challenged that characterization in a Nov. 9 release, stating county records show the district actually received more property tax revenue in 2026. More: Coshocton schools face $454K tax shortfall amid teacher contract talks In a Nov. 10 release, the district said Treasurer Terri Eyerman addressed the issue during the Oct. 29 school board meeting and confirmed the correct amount of money had been received from the auditor's office. The district said the problem was money intended for permanent improvements was originally deposited and forecast as general fund revenue. Accounting entries moving the money to the proper fund created the variance the district had previously reported. The

Oregon woman pleads guilty in $82K phishing scam targeting Ohio dispensary

ZANESVILLE – An Oregon woman pleaded guilty to money laundering after a phishing scam impersonating a bank diverted more than $82,000 from an Ohio dispensary chain with a facility in this area. It reportedly led to more than $82,000 in fraudulent transactions in February, March and April. Several months later it led to the extradition of Arianna May Stark, 27, to the Muskingum County Jail. Stark appeared for a plea-change hearing in the Court of Common Pleas Nov. 4 and pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering, a third-degree felony. She was originally indicted on 22 charges in June, including one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony, one count of telecommunications fraud, a third-degree felony, one count of grand theft, a fourth-degree felony, and 19 counts of money laundering, all third-degree felonies. Stark could be facing between nine and 36 months in prison, however defense attorney Chris Signil and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Lucas Howard reached a joint recommendation of three years of community control, which was presented to Judge Gerald Anderson II. A fine is also possible of either $7,500 or double the amount that was laundered. As part of the plea agreement,
