GEAUGA (WJW) The Fox 8 I-Team has learned the Geauga County Sheriffs office arrested one, issued a summons for another, and charged two with underage drinking, following a large Amish party this weekend.
Deputies were sent to a home on Bundysburg Road in Huntsburg Township shortly after midnight Sunday. A man called 9-1-1 to report the large party.
When we got there, there was a barn full of people some of them ran, said Geauga Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand. There was one that was too intoxicated to run and that person had to be transported by ambulance.
The sheriff said the person taken into custody was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. The other person was issued a summons for violating the states stay at home order.
There is some concern out there and we are getting reports of large gatherings happening, the sheriff told the Fox 8 I-Team. If we get calls, or find out about them, we will go there, break them up and get them out of there. We wont tolerate this and we have to keep everybody safe.
A few weeks ago the I-Team received pictures from several residents showing the Amish continuing to have large gatherings, despite the states stay at home order.
And officials say the party was held just days after Geauga County Health Commissioner Thomas Quade sent a letter to Amish Bishops informing them they are noticing an increase in COVID-19 cases in the Amish community.
It is disappointing, Quade said. I wish it wouldnt happen those folks are all placing themselves at risk.
Quade said he also asked the Amish Bishops to close churches for the rest of the month to help protect everyone.
(Asking for a friend)
These people all live together. What’s the problem?
What?
Never mind.....
This is in Ohio, for those wondering.
Some snitch called The Man.
Ohio? DeWine is everywhere!
Prolly one of them Mennonites /s

“We won’t tolerate this, Geauga Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand says”
I see the problem and it isn’t the Amish.
Snitches get switches applied to their britches!
The party of “Our bodies, Our choice” sure has changed their tune. I guess that’s only important to them when they get to kill babies.
I grew up in this county. Used to be a nice rural outskirt of Cleveland. Now it has McMansion-idis. You might say the Karen quotient has been steadily rising over the last two or three decades.

Betcha this fella is in agreement with states that are letting felons, rapists, murderers, etc out of prison
This is a perfect opportunity for progressive heaven - happiness will be officially banned by the state and ruthlessly enforced. For the Greater Good, naturally.
Try getting a garage built of half that size and quality from someone other than the Amish.
Wouldn’t jails (or institutions in general) be more dangerous if they were truly concerned about stopping the spread of Covid-19?
