OCTOBER 7: Charges Dismissed Against Gary Siders Sr., County Commissioner Answers for Unpaid Parking Tickets, and Light the Night for Blood Cancer Awareness Tomorrow

There's some new developments out of that Vinton County case.

We saw the charges dropped for Gary Sider Sr.

He is the older family member, the grandfather of those 16 children found in that house in Hamden.

So we're diving into that with an interview with his defense attorney.

Yeah, and then pumpkins aglow.

It returns to the Franklin Park Conservatory.

We are speaking with the senior designer of this, and we're going to get into all the details about how you can get involved this year.

Go see the pumpkins.

Right, and Commissioner Erica Crawley is answering about roughly $1,400 of parking fines to a county vehicle that was issued to her office.

That, of course, follows some other issues following a run-in with security and Columbus police at a Post Malone concert recently.

Yeah, and so big changes could also be coming to the heart of downtown Columbus.

We were talking with the man helping shape what's next for downtown and how you can have a say in this entire process.

So again, busy show.

Happy Wednesday.

We are halfway through the week,

right? So in Vinton County.

The judge over the Siders family case has now opted to drop the charges against Gary Siders Sr.

This comes just a couple weeks after he was found not competent to stay in trial.

And the big part of that is also found not restorable by the statutory timeline.

So if you're found not competent but deemed restorable, then they'll work on you and get you back.

But he has basically

been deemed— He has not proven he can do that.

Yes,

yeah.

And so this all goes back to that case of the 16 children between 18 months and 18 years old, all found in that house in Hamden there in Vinton County.
