⚖️ Prosecutor clears up misinformation about two high-profile local cases. Preble County Prosecutor Eric Marit issued a statement addressing confusion regarding the prosecution of former Gasper Township Trustee Joseph Wade Guthrie and the death of Katherine Dailey. Marit explained that his office cannot ethically prosecute Guthrie's case due to his role as legal counsel for townships, and the matter has been referred to the Ohio Attorney General. Regarding Dailey's death, Marit clarified that cases investigated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol are handled by city or village prosecutors, not his office. Marit encouraged residents to contact him directly with questions rather than relying on social media misinformation.
