Ohio sheriff’s department busts ‘barn full’ of Amish


Sheriff says, “We won’t tolerate this.”

From News of the Weird

Geauga County (Ohio) Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand told WJW his office was called to break up a large party of Amish late on April 18 in Huntsburg Township.

"When we got there, there was a barn full of people and some of them ran," he said.

One partier was arrested for disorderly conduct, two were charged with underage drinking and another was issued a summons for violating the state's stay-at-home order, according to the sheriff.

"We won't tolerate this," Hildenbrand said, "and we have to keep everybody safe."

Amish people are reportedly continuing to gather in large groups, and the county health commissioner has sent a letter to Amish bishops about an increase in COVID-19 cases in that community. [WJW, 4/20/2020]
