Fairborn Ohio news September 4, 2015

Here's the latest news from the Fairborn Ohio area for September 4, 2000 15th. We pray that you have a fantastic Friday that even better Labor Day weekend.

BELLBROOK — A local doctor has been indicted on 44 charges related to an alleged “pill mill” operation in Bellbrook. Dr. John Moore, 60, of Centerville, has been accused of dozens of charges related to the operation, which is alleged to have been run out of the offices of Synergistic Health Centers on Lakeman Drive.
According to Greene County Prosecuting Attorney Stephen Haller, the charges result from an investigation that has been underway for more than two years.
“The purpose of the illicit enterprise was to make as much money as possible for Dr. John P. Moore III,” an indictment of charges against Moore states. The indictment was filed in Greene County Common Pleas Court Aug. 28. “… The illicit enterprise, sought to produce as much money as it could via improper prescribing, commonly known as drug trafficking and other illicit acts such as defrauding workers compensation, defrauding Medicaid, and conspiring to do so.”
“What [a ‘pill mill’] means is … a doctor or physician who’s selling prescription meds or writing prescriptions for high-powered narcotics, usually opiates, without a sufficient medical reason,” Haller said. “Sometimes it’s described as selling pills like candy.”
Felony charges against Moore include an engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity charge, conspiracy charges, a Medicaid fraud charge, theft charges, drug trafficking charges, a forgery charge, a permitting drug abuse charge, among others. In the indictment, the grand jury also included a major drug offender specification for Moore.
A Centerville teen’s actions could have international consequences.
What she’s accused of is highlighting just how big the problem of sexting has become, and that many teens and parents don’t realize it’s child pornography when youths send sexually explicit images of themselves over their smartphones or computers.
Centerville police are investigating two sexting cases. A 15-year-old boy sent nude photos to someone in Chicago, and a 17-year-old girl sent sexually explicit photos of herself to someone in the United Kingdom. In each case, it was the parents who found out and alerted authorities.
Local parents say sexting and it’s long-term ramification is a big concern.
“Kids don’t realize that when they’re texting or when they’re on the Internet, it’s actually going out to anybody. I think they think there’s a safety net that there’s not, so I don’t think they understand the seriousness of it,” said Raechel Nock of Oakwood.

Rash of Ohio animal shelter burglaries could be related

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Investigators say more than a dozen break-ins at animal shelters across Ohio could be related.

Since Jan. 9 shelters have been hit in Ashland, Champaign, Delaware, Hancock, Hardin, Huron, Knox, Logan, Madison, Marion, Medina, Morrow, Muskingum, Seneca, Washington and Wayne counties. Other shelters in Ohio have been warned about the burglaries.


The Columbus Dispatch reports that electronics, office supplies, checks and hard drives have been taken at various shelters. Veterinary drugs were taken from the shelter in Madison County, but those drugs, money and other items were in a safe that was stolen.

Capturing crime: Body cameras in the Miami Valley


ENGLEWOOD, Ohio (WDTN) – Ever since video of Sunday’s deadly police shooting In Los Angeles, we’ve been asking questions about body cameras here in the Miami valley.


Sheriff’s offices and police departments across the Miami Valley are looking into purchasing these body cameras for their police officers, but it’s not as easy as you might think.


Cameras have been a helpful tool for law enforcement for years. They’re mounted inside the back seat and set up to record what’s in front of them, but now some departments are taking another step by putting them *on the officers.


“It gives a really wide field of view of whatever their body is faced toward and any type of encounter,” said Sgt. Mike Lang with the Englewood Police Department.


Englewood Police is one of the only departments in the area to have their officers out on the street in body cameras. They’ve been using them for six months and for the first time they are talking about them


“Our units are part camera and part miniature hard drive,” said Sgt. Lang.


Anytime there’s enforcement contact such as an arrest or citation, these cameras are on and recording.


Take a look at this traffic stop caught by one of their body cameras.

The officer noticed a sawed off shotgun in the passenger seat as he got closer to the car. This view helps his supervisors and the court see what really happened.


“The officers want to wear these because it protects them, it protects the integrity of their interactions,” said Sgt. Lang.


Only 5 hours of footage can be stored on the hard drives so the cameras are not recording all the time. That’s one of the decisions Englewood made when deciding whether to even purchase them.


“There are some things we don’t want to record. We acknowledge there are areas that some people have an expectation of privacy where video may not be the best way of documenting what’s taking place,” said Sgt. Lang.


There’s no doubt about it, law enforcement agencies want these cameras. In fact Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly has been waiting for his order of 46 cameras since December.


“Everything is in an effort to protect us from allegations and to protect the citizens we serve from allegations against them,” said Sheriff Kelly.


But now that he’s been waiting so long, he’s thought more about the technology and noticed it comes with a lot of grey areas. So he cancelled his order and will do more research.


“Keeping the data. How long do you keep it? How do you keep it secure? Again, if we keep the data for a year, what if 13 months later we have an accusation,” said Sheriff Kelly.


Their office already uses body cameras in the jail. Every Sergeant is able to turn them on if someone gets out of hand.


“It is our side. We’re not having to say, “just trust me because I am a police officer…because that has been tarnished. Because they don’t believe us. So with this way we can put it out there and they can see everything we do,” said Clark County Sergeant Chad Stalder.


Sheriff Kelly wants to get all his deputies equipped with them but also says money is a big factor.


“The cheapest part of the order is the actual purchase of the camera. The most expensive is going to be the servers and the additional logistics of how we work this out to download,” said Sheriff Gene Kelly.


Englewood agrees it’s a costly purchase.

They bought 8 cameras and spent $18,000.


Besides the cost, the department also had to develop a new policy on what they record, how long they keep the records and how much of it is public.


“It is a public record. Flat out. Our biggest thing is making sure that when we do release this information we are not releasing things that are not releasable,” said Sgt. Lang.


Since these carry a lot of uncharted territory, Englewood Police Department there could be a lot of policy changes in the future.

Trucks rumble up controversy at P&G site

Trucks rumble up controversy at P&G site

UNION, Ohio (WDTN) – Procter and Gamble’s distribution center in Union will bring more than 1,000 jobs to the area, but with those jobs, come hundreds of semi trucks a day.


For some residents, those semis are not a welcomed sight.


Ben Jones is a 43-year resident of Butler Township.  He says the sound of rumbling trucks is not music to his ears.


“When you move out to a Township, you’re obviously looking for some quiet,” said Jones.


He says the peace and quiet he once knew went away when surrounding plots of land were annexed to the City of Union.


Now, P&G’s Distribution Center, one of those annexed portions of land, brings traffic to an area that doesn’t typically see much.


“This morning already, there have been three semi trucks come down Frederick Road which Mister Applegate over at the City of Union promised us there would be no semi-trucks come down Frederic Road.”


Union City Manager John Applegate says semi trucks should be taking a different route, but when we spoke with homeowners, they say semis are taking a route that leads right through residential areas.


2 NEWS asked what’s being done about the issue.  “We’ve been closely working with P&G and we’ve been monitoring it since it has been opened since February 3rd to receive goods,” said Applegate.


He says he is aware of trucks rolling through on Frederic Pike.  “We’ve put up signs, we’ve made a commitment to residents in the area that trucks would enter and leave a certain way.”


According to Jones, trucks are taking Old Springfield Road and making a left down Frederic Pike.


After 2 NEWS waited one morning for an hour, we didn’t see trucks on Old Springfield, but we did notice a semi taking the correct route.


Applegate says they’re working with police to ensure the problem comes to a halt.


“We’ve issued warnings for the first time. We’ve kept a record and if they’re stopped again, they will be ticketed.”


He’s hoping truckers will make the right turn.

Ohio State will require students to be vaccinated

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Incoming Ohio State University students won’t be allowed to schedule classes next fall if they’re not up to date on their vaccinations.


Students starting at OSU will have to provide evidence that they’ve had shots to prevent a list of vaccine-preventable diseases.


The Columbus Dispatch reports that the move by the university comes in response to a mumps outbreak on and around campus last year that sickened almost 500 people.


A subsequent measles outbreak in Ohio intensified discussions about boosting immunization rates throughout the state, including at universities and colleges.


Ohio State is requiring student be vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B and chickenpox. Students new to residence halls also will require meningitis vaccinations.



Man accused of assaulting Secret Service agent

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) – A Clark County man is accused of attacking Secret Service agents.


Ronald Skelton II is under investigation for making anti-government remarks and threatening the president.


Deputies joined Secret Service agents to question Skelton at his Grant Road home Thursday.


They say Skelton punched an agent in the face when officers tried to arrest him.


Skelton is now charged with felonious assault.


He is in the Clark County Jail awaiting a court appearance later this morning.




Flooding Awareness


WDTN

Flooding Awareness

As a severe weather event, flooding is referred to as the silent killer. Flash flooding isn’t as loud as a thunderstorm, tornado, hail or damaging winds, but it can happen just as quickly, and can be even more deadly. Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other severe weather related hazard. The Centers for Disease Control report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. When you hear flooding in the forecast, it is important to take it seriously and keep in mind these definitions from the National Weather Service:


Flash Flood Warning: Take Action! A Flash Flood Warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. If you are in a flood prone area move immediately to high ground. A flash flood is a sudden violent flood that can take from minutes to hours to develop. It is even possible to experience a flash flood in areas not immediately receiving rain.


Flood Warning: Take Action! A Flood Warning is issued when the hazardous weather event is imminent or already happening. A Flood Warning is issued when flooding is imminent or occurring.


Flood Watch: Be Prepared: A Flood Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for a specific hazardous weather event to occur. A Flood Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It does not mean flooding will occur, but it is possible.


Flood Advisory: Be Aware: An Flood Advisory is issued when a specific weather event that is forecast to occur may become a nuisance. A Flood Advisory is issued when flooding is not expected to be bad enough to issue a warning. However, it may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised, it could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property.


An easy way to remind your self of flooding dangers is the phrase, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Whether driving or walking, any time you come across flooding or high water, find an alternate route. You don’t know how deep the water is, how strong the current is, or the condition of the road underneath. Play it safe, and stay away from flood water.

Local restaurant holds fundraiser for family of Troy CO poisoning victims

Local restaurant holds fundraiser for family of Troy CO poisoning victims


TROY, Ohio (WDTN) – Culver’s in Troy hosts a fundraiser for the family of the Troy teens who died from carbon monoxide poisoning and the 8-year-old boy who was also in the home that remains hospitalized.


The fundraiser was at the Culver’s Thursday night. 20% of all proceeds will go towards the Bishop family. The owner says they even had to extend the hours of the fundraiser because of all the community interests.


Last week the four children were found unresponsive in a home in Troy. Since then 2 sisters and one teen girl have died from CO poisoning and a 8 year old boy is in the hospital.


A close family members of the children used to work for the Culver’s and owner, operator Derek Potts say he was like extended family so they wanted to help out in any way they could.


“When we heard the news it’s like, let’s use whatever resources we have and pull together from the community. The community has been so wonderful to really support that as well,” said Potts. “So we’re using what ever support we’ve got from the community to really bring them into the restaurant.”


Some of the people that went to the fundraiser included members of 8 year old Jahari’s little league football team. A local company donated a picture of him for the team to stop by and sign.


The restaurant had a constant line outside of the door full of people wanting to show support and that’s something people that knew them say they would appreciate.


“As they’re looking down on us they would really appreciate how many people came out to support them,” said Monica Pena who knew all four of the children.


 




Redevelopment in Fairborn

Redevelopment in Fairborn


DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Progress in the demolition of the old Elder-Beerman in Fairborn. “Right now, we’re two-thirds of the way through actual demolition,” said Mike Gebhart, community development director for the city. “Essentially, all the walls are down and they’ll start later this week and into next pulling the concrete slab out. Then, we’ll have an area that the property owner can market and hopefully you’ll see redevelopment in that spot.”


Gebhart says the city is paying for this up front and by code will bill the property owner back, and any unpaid portion will be assessed to the property as a lean. He says it’ll make it a much more attractive and marketable piece of property to have the building removed, which he says was a safety hazard.


Chris Wimsatt, the economic development director for the city, talked about some new additions to The Shoppes at Valle Greene courtesy of Oberer Properties, and how the city is building on its strong partnerships with WPAFB and Wright State.

Mistrial in Arias sentencing phase

PHOENIX (AP) – A judge has declared a mistrial in the Jodi Arias sentencing retrial after jurors deadlocked on whether the convicted murderer should be executed or sent to prison for life for killing her lover in 2008.


The decision on Thursday removes the death penalty as an option and leaves the judge to sentence Arias to either life in prison or a life term with the possibility of release after 25 years.


It marked the second time a jury has deadlocked on her punishment — a disappointment for prosecutors who argued for the death penalty during the nearly seven-year legal battle against Arias.


The 2013 trial of Arias was broadcast live and became a sensation with its tawdry revelations about her relationship with victim Travis Alexander and that she shot him in the head and slit his throat so deeply that he was nearly decapitated.

Plane skids off runway at New York LaGuardia Airport

NEW YORK (AP) – Authorities say a Delta plane from Atlanta has skidded off a runway while landing at LaGuardia Airport and has crashed through a fence.

Daylight savings time ‘springs forward’ Sunday

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Sunday, March 8. What is it about that day? Can’t quite place it. Oh, yes. It is the time to ‘spring forward’.


Daylight savings time begins, so the annual ritual of setting your clocks forward one hour is this weekend.

“We’re still finding that many homes in Ohio don’t have working smoke alarms,” said State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers. “Many times, fatal fires could have been prevented with the help of the early warning a smoke alarm provides. It gives people time to escape.”


Daylight savings time begins at 2:00 a.m. Sunday.



Ringling Bros. to end elephant acts

The circus’ parent company, Feld Entertainment, told The Associated Press exclusively that the acts will be phased out by 2018. Growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision.


The circus plans to phase out elephant acts by 2018. Feld’s 43 elephants will live at the company’s 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation in central Florida. Twenty-nine animals are already there, and the other 14 will arrive as they are phased out from the circus.

Dayton connection to IN Amber Alert

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (WDTN) – 2 NEWS has learned of a Dayton connection to an Indianapolis amber alert from Monday.


Investigators say one of the abducted siblings was dropped off at a fast food restaurant in Dayton.
