OHIO: Armed homeowners crack burglary operation:

Law enforcement officers Wednesday continued praising the efforts of an armed couple, who stopped a burglary at their home Tuesday, as a search of a New Philadelphia suspect’s residence revealed a huge amount of evidence from past burglaries.

“They broke the case,” said Detective Jeff Moore of the Tuscarawas County Sheriff Department, referring to the Roswell area couple who held Thomas Ritchie, 30, of New Philadelphia and William Allison II, 25, of Massillon at gunpoint until sheriff’s deputies arrived.

“They broke the case for numerous detectives who are all smiling at this point in time,” Moore said as he participated in a search of Ritchie’s residence at 709 Hance Ave. NW.

Moore said evidence gathered Wednesday from the residence represents possibly 20 to 30 burglaries in Tuscarawas and surrounding counties.

Representatives from Stark, Carroll, Harrison and Holmes counties and Magnolia Police Department assisted in the search.

Sheldon to Criminals: Mason County Residents Have Guns, Will Use ThemBy Josh Farley (Contact)
Friday, April 10, 2009

With more budget cuts to the local sheriff's office looming, one Mason County commissioner is reminding his constituents that when crime strikes, you should pick up your phone — and your gun.

Commissioner Tim Sheldon, tasked with trimming the county budget as sales-tax revenue plummets, said he wanted to send a message this week to criminals as he prepares to possibly send a handful of deputies home with pink slips.

"You're on notice: if you attempt a home-invasion robbery, you may be met with armed resistance," he said Friday, "and could receive a Mason County hot lead enema."

Sheldon, who is also a state senator, says he's not advocating for "roving bands of vigilantes," just issuing a reminder that his friends and neighbors in Mason County are "very well-armed, self-reliant and very comfortable with firearms."

Sheldon speculates that about half of Mason's residents own guns, and many of them are well-trained marksmen.

His comments came in response to a statement from Mason County Sheriff Casey Salisbury, whose office has been frank with residents: "Crime can be expected to increase as officers are laid off," he said in a release last week.

Sheldon called that "fear mongering."

Not all of Sheldon's constituents believe self-armament is the answer.

"It's against the law for us to take matters into our own hands," said Margie Benson, a 20-year Tahuya Peninsula resident who participates in a crime-watch group. "He's asking us to do the work of the sheriff's office."

He didn't ask you to take the law into your own hands. He's putting would-be criminals on notice that they'll likely be shot.

Hey Margie you stupid moron. Why the hell are you in a crime-watch group if you don't want to be involved.
Crime Watch. As in she see's the crime happening and she watches it so she can give the police every detail. "yes officer they stabbed him exactly seventy three times. Then I made sure he bled out before I called you because I didn't want to take matters into my own hands."

She... really discourages self-help.

Oh wait... that was our Assmuppet General, Martha Coakley. Maybe she's got relatives in Mason County.
