Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Failure to appear

If you show up for court on the day set forthon the summons, even if you are late it is nota failure to appear. In all likelihood, yourcase would not have been heard at 3:30 anywaybecause the court had other cases to hear.

It sounds to me like false arrest, intimidatinga witness and obstruction of justice by thedog warden. I would fight it then sue thedog warden. Meanwhile, file a complaint withthe dog warden's boss or the county commissionersand see if you can get him fired.
