Greene County court docket postponed amid confusion about reported protest

The court canceled its afternoon docket for the day and postponed scheduled hearings and other proceedings as a precaution. Common pleas court is still handling filings, Williams said.

Major Kirk Keller of the Greene County Sheriff’s Office said deputies did not evacuate the courthouse.

“We had heard kind of peripheral information that some folks were going to come and protest at the Greene County courthouse,” Kirk said, adding the potential protesters were “upset about a crackdown on drugs or maybe some type of a drug raid.”

Kirk said no credible threat was found.

“People are more than welcome to protest anywhere they want as long as it’s a legal protest,” he added.
