MONROE, OH (FOX19) – A Monroe Police Officer was called to City Hall Wednesday to document an incident reportedly involving raised voices and chest-poking.

Just before noon Wednesday, Police Officer Brian Curlis was dispatched to see City Manager William Brock, who wanted to report an incident around 9:30 a.m. 

Brock reported that he was speaking to Vice Mayor Robert Kelley near the James Monroe Community Room before things got out of hand. He said they were talking about city business when the conversation turned heated.  Brock said Kelley moved into his personal space and poked him in the chest with his index finger.  He said he felt physically threatened by Kelley’s actions, and told Kelley “Don’t ever touch me again.”  Brock said that Kelley then threatened his job, and the heated conversation ended soon after that.

BLUE ASH, OH (FOX19) - The Hamilton County OVI Task Force will conduct increased enforcement over this weekend, beginning Friday.

As the high school prom season gets started, the Task Force is telling teens that no one under the age of twenty-one is permitted to consume alcoholic beverages, and that the blood alcohol limit for underage drivers is .02, much lower than it is for those who are age 21 and over.

In addition, on Friday night, the Hamilton County OVI Task Force will team up with the Butler County OVI Task Force and conduct an enforcement blitz on US 127 in both counties.  US 127 is also known as Hamilton Avenue in Hamilton County and Pleasant Avenue in Butler County.   Officers of the Task Forces will target alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers. Fatalities from alcohol-impaired driving crashes continue to account for one in three deaths on American roadways each year.
