Police Arrest Man Who Dumped Manure Outside Warren County Democrats HQ

WARREN COUNTY, OH - James Pinell has been arrested for dumping manure in front of the Warren County Democratic Headquarters on US Route 42 in Turtlecreek Township. The department announced Pinell's arrest Oct. 31.

Sources are reporting that Pinell is also responsible for dumping manure in front of the Warren County Democratic Headquarters in 2012 during the Barack Obama and Mitt Romney election.

After Warren Democrats found the manure on Oct. 29, party chair Bethe Goldenfield took to Facebook to lambast whoever had dumped the manure and chastize people supporting the act.

"We have cameras, and are currently reviewing the tape with the Sheriff's Department, so hopefully the perps will be held accountable for their actions," Goldenfield said in the Facebook post. "I won't be responding to anyone who thinks this is acceptable behavior. It is ILLEGAL!"

Warren is a historically Republican county. It went red in the 2012 election with Mitt Romney getting 69.1 percent of the vote, 74, 626 votes. For comparison, Barack Obama received 31,907 votes, or 29.5 percent.

Pinell, 47, of Lebanon, was charged with one count of Criminal Mischief, a misdemeanor of the third degree. He is scheduled to appear in Lebanon Municipal Court for arraignment on Thursday, November 3.
