Glouster woman dies after stalled truck rolls backward in Morgan County

McCONNELSVILLE – Deputies with the Morgan County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene of what originally was a stalled-out truck in the 5500 block of Pounds Road Nov. 2. The accident turned fatal after the vehicle unexpectedly moved and struck a Glouster woman who later succumbed to the injuries. Police have since investigated the incident and determined that Richard Blair, of Glouster, was driving east on Pounds Road when the vehicle stalled in the roadway east of Burr Oak State Park while attempting to travel up a steep incline, according to an announcement from the sheriff's office. Blair exited the vehicle to look for the problem and the passenger, Gloriana Blair, climbed out the other side. She was hit by the door as the truck suddenly started moving backward. She was reportedly knocked to the ground and struck by the vehicle, the announcement stated. Gloriana was transported to O'Bleness Hospital in Athens County by the M&M Emergency Squad, where she later succumbed to her injuries.

Grand jury indicts Etna couple accused of endangering their 9 kids

A Licking County grand jury has indicted an Etna couple accused of endangering their children after having them live in what police called filthy and bug-infested conditions. Jonathan Parr, 37, and Jacquelyn Coleman, 32, face 11 child endangerment charges each, according to the Nov. 5 indictment, court records show. Deputies arrested Parr and Coleman and took custody of their nine children Oct. 13 after searching their home in the 13600 block of National Road SW in Etna Township. The indictment states the alleged crimes happened between April and October 2026. In a press conference after the couple's arrest, the sheriff’s office called the conditions at the home “horrific” and “disgusting.” Additionally, court records alleged Parr was forcing some of the kids to stand against a wall for hours. The kids’ ages range from 1 to 13, and the older ones are in school, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies began investigating the case after a referral from Child Protective Services, which spoke with some of the children Oct. 13. In those interviews with CPS staff, some of the children alleged abuse from Parr, such as having to sleep in a cage to prevent them from stealing food and placing nails
