Balmert on Trial for DUI and Vehicular Assault
Balmert testified in his own defense that hemp products alleviated pain amid a crash case in Lorain County. Judge James Miraldi found him guilty of aggravated vehicular assault and DUI, while acquitting him of vehicular assault and a second DUI charge, sentencing him to two years in prison and three days in jail or a three day program. The Ohio Supreme Court agreed in 2024 to hear Balmert's arguments. Gehlmann sued Balmert in Common Pleas Court with a June 10 jury trial pending. Data points include THC levels near ten times the legal limit and disputed causation in serious injuries.
