Clermont commissioners pause jail plans as arbitration talks with architect Thomas F. Cole stall progress. Assistant prosecutor Thomas Blust resigns, prompting search for new counsel and a possible March hearing postponement.

Ringland orders old chief reinstated to Goshen force
Goshen Township faces a dispute as Common Pleas Court Judge Ringland orders former Police Chief Robert Hiett reinstated rather than merely suspended. Hiett, dismissed for alleged insubordination, has been out since March 1 and may receive back pay if trustees do not appeal within 30 days. He now works as a claims investigator for the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation.

Weston sits at the center of Clermont County's landmark criminal case, with a five week trial for four aggravated murders, aggravated robbery and arson. The piece notes Ralston's parallel high profile cases, juries and panels, and the complex multi‑jurisdictional effort by local and state investigators. It contrasts Stevenson and Ralston prosecutions, and recalls the long, coordinated investigations.

Fire hits Mt. Carmel bar in early Sunday blaze
An early Sunday morning fire gutted the San Antonio Rose bar in Mt. Carmel. Owner Pam Simon cited insurance estimates around 85,000 with officials suggesting up to 250,000 in damages. Fire officials attributed the blaze to an electrical short near the front of the establishment. Becker's Discount Drug Store sits above the bar. A store manager declined to name, noting no smoke damage in his shop. Simon locked the doors at 3 30 a.m. and expects reopening in about two months after remodeling.
