Good morning, Ross County. July is proving to be anything but quiet for Chillicothe's police department, which recently tackled 18 cases in a single hectic day. From domestic disputes on East Main Street to a burglary investigation and even a sex offense case reported from Adena Medical Center, our officers' daily reality reads like a crime drama script—minus the commercial breaks. Even a local Roosters restaurant became part of the action when police responded to an unruly juvenile complaint.
The aroma of opportunity is brewing at Rost Coffee Company, where an $18,750 economic development grant is fueling expansion plans. Since opening in 2016, this local favorite has become a cornerstone of downtown Chillicothe's revitalization. Meanwhile, a routine traffic stop turned consequential when Officer Jonathan Davis discovered not just license plate violations but also two individuals with active warrants—proving once again that in small-town policing, there's rarely such thing as a "routine" day.
