Good morning, Ross County. The calendar may say October, but Chillicothe police faced July-level chaos with 17 incidents in a single Sunday—from midnight disorderly conduct calls to drug possession cases, thefts, and even a hit-skip crash. The day's marathon of mayhem culminated with the arrest of Andrew McCutcheon on a criminal trespass warrant, proving that even weekends offer no rest for our local officers.
Fall festivities are brewing with the Halloween Festival returning to Yoctangee Park October 10-12, bringing the beloved coffin races and a new "Where's Jack?" scavenger hunt alongside a Hollywood touch—actor Patrick Miller and the iconic Green Goblin truck from Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive. Meanwhile, local politics are picking up steam as Ross County Republicans host candidate meet-and-greets, with the next event featuring Municipal Court judge candidates on October 9th in Richmond Dale.
