Middleport Police Denounce Favoritism Charge Letter
A letter signed by acting Chief Donald Ohlinger and patrolmen Donald Gosney and Neal, from the Middleport Police Department, defends the force against charges of favoritism amid a village council discussion. The letter argues officers work around the clock, address public safety with limited resources, and urges fair investigations and official support. It notes only two traffic violators have more than one red ticket and questions perceived bias from council remarks and a newspaper article. The group calls for understanding and dialogue with village officials.
