Good morning, Meigs County. The Athens County police blotter reads like a sitcom script this week, featuring everything from wandering intoxicated pedestrians and escaped goats to someone literally stuck in finger cuffs. While these small-town shenanigans provide comic relief, law enforcement still handles serious business—as evidenced by the arrest of a driver with felony warrants after officers discovered a stolen firearm during a routine traffic stop.
Meanwhile, Wood County is taking decisive action to maintain emergency services, investing $900,000 in COVID relief funds to purchase six ambulances as St. Joseph's Ambulance Service prepares to close its doors. The county has already hired 38 workers to ensure residents won't experience gaps in emergency coverage. On a heartwarming note, The Post TV's latest episode showcases how traveling dresses are bringing joy to girls in need, alongside coverage of Mill Fest and the Spring Career Fair that connected students with over 80 potential employers.

🚓 Small-town shenanigans fill Athens County police blotter. From a drunk man walking in the middle of the road to someone needing help with finger cuffs, the week's incidents ranged from amusing to bizarre. Deputies responded to escaped goats, an electric bike theft, and a traffic stop for running a stop sign. In a more serious case, officers arrested a driver with felony warrants after finding a stolen firearm during a routine traffic stop for expired registration.
🚑 Wood County invests $900K to save emergency services after closure. The County Commission approved spending COVID relief funds to purchase six ambulances for Camden Clark Ambulance Service as St. Joseph's Ambulance Service shuts down on March 31. Camden Clark has already hired 38 workers, mostly from St. Joseph's, to ensure seamless coverage. The ambulances will initially be stationed near the hospital, with plans to distribute them throughout the community to reduce response times. If Camden Clark discontinues service, the ambulances will revert to county ownership.
👗 Sisterhood's traveling dresses bring joy to girls in need. The Post TV has returned with a new episode featuring coverage of Mill Fest and testing OU students' trivia knowledge. Viewers can also learn about Student Senate's Pride Week events and get advice on pet adoption from the Athens County Humane Society. Meanwhile, OU Career Services hosted their Spring Career & Internship Fair at Ping Recreation Center, connecting students with over 80 employers from various industries. Even students not actively job-hunting were encouraged to attend for valuable networking practice.
