Good morning, Ross County. Spring is bringing more than just flowers to our streets – the historic Chillicothe Trolley returns this April, offering charming rides through downtown on Fridays and Saturdays. With real-time tracking through the Ride Pingo app, you'll never miss this delightful blast from the past as it rolls through town. The trolley will even make a special appearance at the library's Touch A Truck event on April 24, giving the youngest residents a chance to explore this restored treasure.
Meanwhile, local police have been busy addressing some unusual situations – from a discarded sock during a traffic stop that led to drug charges, to diesel trucks performing dangerous stunts on North Bridge Street. The latter resulted in citations for reckless operation, with authorities warning that public roads aren't the place for smoke-billowing vehicle tricks. Stay safe out there, whether you're catching the trolley or simply navigating our streets.

After detaining driver Kayleigh Johnson and passenger James Smoot, a search revealed a scale with crystal residue in the door. Smoot was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia, with additional tampering charges being recommended pending lab results.
🚗 Diesel trucks' dangerous stunts lead to citation in Chillicothe.
