Ada's latest news

In response to discussions with Ada residents and business owners regarding nuisances created by roaming cats and animals such as racoons, the village council has begun the process of drafting a new village ordinance. At a September 19 Safety Services committee meeting, council president Jeff Oestrich asked the village staff and legal counsel to draft an ordinance that prohibits feeding cats outdoors.

The committee requested that ordinance language be ready to present by the last council meeting in October. There would then be three readings of the ordinance and six weeks to make modifications.

On Wednesday, September 20, officers from the Kenton Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a 2017 tan Ford SUV, which officers believed was being operated by thirty-five-year-old Wayne A. Tolson, of Kenton. Officers had been searching for Tolson for several days after a warrant was issued by Hardin County Common Pleas Court for violating the terms of his bond. The original charge originated from an F2 felonious assault, domestic violence case, from May of this year, in Kenton.

Once officers attempted to stop the vehicle as it fled westbound onto W. Columbus Street and then westbound onto State Route 309. The pursuit continued westbound on 309 toward Ada.
