This started out as a Bad Report Card entry but I received an email feedback from a person who used Angelo Mitchell's Village email address so I am going to create a separate page for recording this incident and the subsequent information that is being brought forth..
Original Report
One of the in town businesses had taken a petition to be available to have their Amelia resident customers sign if they chose to do so. They were called by one of the collection supervisors and the supervisor was told that the petition had 4 signatures so far. The supervisor went up to the business the next day to get the petition and was told by the owner that a tall white haired man had come into the business and stated that the petition was invalid and that the man had taken the petition and left. The owner was asked who the man was and said they didn't know.
The supervisor was very upset and reported it to one of the other leaders who called in the sheriff. The officer took a photo lineup to the "Business Owner" and she picked Angelo Mitchell out of the lineup. The authorities then made contact with Mitchell who did admit that he went to the business but that he didn't take a petition with signatures on it but did take a blank petition. Back to the business owner who then said that Mitchell may have taken a blank petition. When asked about the petition with the 4 signatures the owner said that it was probably lost during some changes they were making inside the building.
This is a very serious matter and remains under investigation by the Clermont County Sheriff's Office. We will post any additional information as it becomes available.
This is a clear case of intimidation. If I would tell you the name of the business you would understand why Mr. Mitchell would probably have no business going into this business and if I had to take a guess I would say he had never been there before!
