ASHLAND, OH – At approximately 9:00 AM on October 15, 2025, in Judge John L. Good’s municipal courtroom, the proceeding began with a chilling warning (or threat) from the court bailiff—the same morning an Ashland resident (the victim in this case) was harassed, targeted and wrongfully pulled over, faced excessive police force, charged, arrested and then released from the Ashland County Jail all within the matter of a nine-hour time period.

This chaos stemmed from an incident that transpired just hours earlier.  Which has been partially shown on the individuals TikTok account (embedded below).  At approximately 1:00 AM, the Ashland Police Department conducted a stop based on reports of felony warrants out of a nearby county (citing intimidation).  However, the information was inaccurate, if not entirely and intentionally falsified to begin with. Due to the intentional cross-jurisdictional hyperbole, the man was held at gunpoint and ordered to his knees with his hands on his head for no offense that would have ever resulted in his arrest.

Can’t even be homeless in peace without almost being unalived! More police corruption at the behest of you know who. #fyp #corruption #police #homeless

Ashland Police initiated the stop on the homeless man as a result of the aforementioned. Though he immediately pulled over and shut off his vehicle—demonstrating clear compliance—police still charged him with obstruction. After officers failed to approach, the man opened his sunroof to speak with them, but communication was nearly impossible – and yet he still exited the vehicle within approximately two minutes of being pulled over. This difficulty was later documented by the officers themselves in police reports, yet the obstruction charge remained, the man’s vehicle was impounded and his dog was taken to the city’s animal shelter.

“You need to get out of here; this isn’t the place for you.” – Bailiff

From the center of the courtroom, the bailiff addressed the individual with a pointed question: “How has your life been since you moved here to Ashland?” When the individual admitted it hadn’t been very good, the bailiff countered sharply, “That should tell you everything you need to know. You need to get out of here; this isn’t the place for you.” This came despite the fact that the individual had never committed a single crime (that he actually should have been charged with) within the city or county limits in his entire life.

These statements were made in an open courtroom before several eyewitnesses, including inmates awaiting their hearings and numerous sheriff’s officers. It remains unclear whether the Bailiff’s comments stemmed from genuine concern for the individual’s well-being or were intended as a threat or another form of intimidation, suggesting further unlawful punishment. This incident is perceived as part of an ongoing pattern of extreme targeting, harassment, and multiple violations of civil and constitutional rights against the man starting in 2024.

THE BOTTOM LINE

SCUMBAGGED Tip:  There’s nothing more clear than the law violating the law at the law’s own hand, blatantly, blunt and as direct as it could possibly ever be.  The myriad of constitutional and civil rights violations here are just too many to list.  This is an obvious situation that has morphed into one that has apparently no end in sight, one where Ashland County in it’s entirety will stop at nothing – doubling down, sweeping situations under the rug and consistently attacking, harassing, intimidating, retaliating and targeting this individual.
