Vinton County Seeks State Aid for Overwhelmed Prosecutors | Dayton News

Vinton County is pleading for more state funding as its prosecutor’s office struggles under the weight of a massive case involving the Siders family — where 16 children were removed from the home, triggering child endangerment charges against four adults. With staff already stretched thin and overtime costs already covered by a July allocation, county commissioners are asking state Rep. Mark Johnson to help fund another assistant prosecutor. The prosecutor warns state aid won’t cover all expenses, especially with children services also bearing the burden. All accused have pleaded not guilty, and the county’s urgent plea reflects a desperate need to keep up with legal demands without compromising other critical cases.
