On Friday, I renewed my opposition to the 23/71 Connection Project and sent the following to ODOT. There is a time for development and selflessness to the good of the State of Ohio, and then there is being bullied and taken advantage of. This project takes a project not of our making and tries to make us pay for it. I am proud to stand with my follow elected officials and Morrow County citizenry in this stance.

RE: Opposition to the Proposed 23/71 Connector Through Morrow and Marion Counties

To the Ohio Department of Transportation:

I write to express my strong opposition to the proposed 23/71 Connector through Morrow and Marion Counties.

I write in two capacities that are particularly relevant to this issue. I serve as the Morrow County Prosecutor, representing the interests of the people of Morrow County, and I am a lifelong resident of Morrow County. I have spent my entire life knowing and appreciating the rural communities, farms, roads, businesses, and families that make this county what it is. I therefore do not approach this proposal as someone unfamiliar with the area or opposed to transportation improvements in general. Rather, I oppose this particular project because the benefits it promises are minimal when compared with the extraordinary and permanent impacts it would impose upon our communities.

There is no question that Morrow County needs safe and efficient transportation infrastructure. There is also no question that improvements to existing highways and intersections can provide meaningful benefits to motorists, residents, businesses, and emergency services. But the fact that transportation infrastructure is necessary does not mean that every proposed highway project is justified.

The proposed 23/71 Connector represents an enormous intrusion into a predominantly rural area for benefits that appear speculative and disproportionately modest. A project of this magnitude would permanently alter the landscape of Morrow and Marion Counties. It would divide farms, disrupt established properties, affect residences and agricultural operations, alter drainage and water patterns, increase noise and traffic, and fundamentally change the character of rural communities that have existed for generations. These are not temporary inconveniences. Once the road is constructed, these impacts cannot simply be reversed.

The people who will bear these consequences are not abstract numbers on a traffic model. They are families who have lived on the same farms for generations. They are landowners who have invested their lives in their properties. They are farmers whose operations depend upon contiguous acreage and established access. They are rural residents who chose to live in these communities precisely because of their quiet, agricultural character. The question ODOT must therefore ask is whether the transportation benefits justify imposing these permanent consequences on those residents. I do not believe they do.

The anticipated benefits of the connector must be evaluated realistically rather than simply in terms of projected traffic movement or theoretical reductions in travel time. A highway can move vehicles more efficiently while simultaneously producing substantial costs for the communities through which it passes. Improved mobility for motorists traveling through the region cannot automatically outweigh the destruction of homes, farms, businesses, and established communities along the proposed route.

Moreover, there are serious questions about whether the purported regional benefits could be achieved through less destructive alternatives. Before committing billions of dollars and permanently transforming rural Morrow and Marion Counties, ODOT should exhaust options involving improvements to existing corridors, targeted intersection improvements, safety enhancements, access management, and other transportation solutions that do not require the construction of an entirely new highway through our communities.

The State should also consider the economic consequences beyond the initial construction cost. Property acquisition, relocation, loss of agricultural productivity, fragmentation of farms, changes to local roads, increased maintenance obligations, and the long-term effects on surrounding property values and businesses all represent real costs. Those costs are borne locally even when the purported benefits are characterized as regional.

As Morrow County Prosecutor, I am particularly conscious of the importance of maintaining reliable transportation routes for law enforcement, fire, EMS, courts, and other public services. But a new highway does not automatically translate into better public safety. Indeed, the disruption of existing local roads and the creation of additional obstacles in the crossing of our county both during construction and at the time of operation will lead to possible loss of life of Morrow County residents and slowing of the services provided by the emergency services in our community.

There is also a fundamental issue of fairness. Morrow County has repeatedly absorbed the consequences of decisions made for the benefit of people traveling through our community. We have Interstate 71. We have U.S. Route 42. We have U.S. Route 23. We have major state and county transportation corridors already carrying substantial regional traffic. Our residents have already contributed their land, their tax dollars, and their communities to Ohio's transportation network. At some point, the State must recognize that rural communities cannot continually be asked to sacrifice themselves for purported regional convenience.

The 23/71 Connector should not be evaluated merely by asking whether it would make transportation between two points somewhat easier. It should be evaluated by asking whether the same objectives can be accomplished without permanently sacrificing the homes, farms, businesses, natural resources, and rural character of Morrow and Marion Counties. That is the standard this project should have to meet. In my view, it does not.
The benefits of the proposed connector are simply not sufficient to justify the monumental impacts it would have on the people and communities in its path. Once homes are taken, farms are divided, and a new highway is constructed through rural neighborhoods, there is no meaningful way to restore what has been lost.

I respectfully request that ODOT reconsider the proposed 23/71 Connector and give serious consideration to alternatives that improve safety and mobility while preserving the communities and agricultural lands of Morrow and Marion Counties. Transportation infrastructure should serve Ohio's communities—not destroy them for the convenience of passing traffic.

As a lifelong Morrow County resident, and as the elected Prosecutor charged with representing the interests of the people of this county, I strongly oppose the proposed 23/71 Connector and urge ODOT not to proceed with this project in its current form.

Respectfully,

Andrew Wick
Morrow County Prosecutor

CASE UPDATE

In Re Crossroads Solar Project

The Morrow County Prosecutor's Office was advised by the Ohio Power Siting Board on August 25th that no appeal had been filed by the Petitioner of the Crossroads Solar Project with the Ohio Supreme Court which means that the OPSB's denial of the petition for the project will stand and there will not be construction of the proposed solar project in Cardington, Lincoln, and Westfield Townships.

This issue was litigated by Prosecutor Andrew Wick in January of this year, with additional arguments in support of the denial being made in March and June of this year. Prosecutor Wick wishes to thank the trustees of Cardington, Lincoln, and Westfield Townships for their leadership on behalf of their constituents, the Morrow County Commissioners for their representation and leadership for the county at large, and the public of the involved townships and Morrow County at large for voicing their opinions in a clear, passionate but still respectful way.

JURY VERDICT

State of Ohio v. Jeremy Ashba

On August 12, 2026, a Morrow County jury, following a three-day jury trial, returned a verdict finding Defendant Jeremy Ashba guilty of one count of Gross Sexual Imposition, a felony of the fourth degree. The Defendant was remanded after conviction.

This case arose after the victim, who is the daughter of the Defendant's fiancée, reported the abuse to Director of Victim Services Richelle Ettel and Prosecutor Andrew Wick following a presentation at a local school about sexual assault, consent, and dating violence.

Mount Gilead Police Detective Sergeant Beekman investigated the case. The investigation revealed that, beginning in early March of this year and continuing until April 7, when law enforcement became involved, the Defendant's conduct progressed from smacking the victim's buttocks, to smacking and grabbing her buttocks, and ultimately to entering the victim's bedroom and forcibly touching her.

The victim reported these incidents to her mother and the victim’s boyfriend. However, relying upon her mother's assurance that she would handle the situation, the victim did not make a formal disclosure to authorities until April 7, when the Defendant's conduct escalated to the point that the victim kneed him in the groin to stop him.

At trial, the victim testified that over a two week period of time between March 15th and April 6th, the Defendant would enter her room at approximately 2:00 to 2:30 a.m., hold her down on the bed, and forcibly touch her inappropriately. She further testified that the Defendant would smile and breathe heavily during the incidents and would rub his private area as he left the room.

This case initially had three counts of Gross Sexual Imposition charged, however two counts were dismissed by the Court before the jury could consider them after the Court found it could not find the Defendant's actions were for the purpose of sexual gratification of the Defendant.

Prosecutor Andrew Wick and Assistant Prosecutor Alicia Lentz tried the case on behalf of the Morrow County Prosecutor's Office.

Prosecutor Wick wishes to thank The Tomorrow Center for allowing him to speak with its students, which ultimately provided an opportunity for this brave young woman to come forward. He also wishes to thank Detective Sergeant Beekman for his thorough investigation; the Morrow County Crime Victim Services Office for its dedication and professional handling of the victim and getting her safely placed with other family throughout the pendency of the case; and, not least of all, the victim for her bravery in coming forward and testifying about what happened to her, despite the difficult circumstances within her own family.

About the case, Wick said:

"Being a teenager has never been easy, but this young woman endured something no child should ever have to experience. She was placed in an extraordinarily difficult position involving people she trusted and viewed as parental figures. Through this young woman's courage, intuition, and decision to record certain events, she helped ensure that the count the jury was permitted to consider resulted in her abuser being convicted and facing prison time. The Morrow County Prosecutor's Office will be seeking the maximum sentence permitted by law."

Sentencing in this matter is scheduled for October 19, 2026 at 1:00 P.M. Further information on this case can be located on the Morrow County Clerk of Courts' website located at https://clerkofcourts.morrowcountyohio.gov/eservices/searchresults.page?x=8M82YymsybKCmHurqYo9CAdMsdozQCpTNgLLRwUj5dTBuzdN2Iz9B7lH5oJi4YdlHt0in45IAUkkcIUeB9uEGA

MORROW COUNTY PROSECUTOR OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO SHANE ROUSH CLEMENCY

Our office has been flooded with emails arguing against clemency in this matter, all of these have been assembled into a word document that accompanied the following letter from Prosecutor Wick that was emailed a short time ago.

Dear Investigator Detellion:

I proudly serve as the Morrow County Prosecuting Attorney and have since January 3, 2025. Although I was not the elected prosecutor at the time of Shane Roush's conviction and sentencing, I write on behalf of the citizens of Morrow County and this Office to strongly oppose his petition for executive clemency.

As you may know, on Memorial Day 2025, Morrow County was forever changed by the ambush murder of Deputy Weston Sherrer while he was performing his duties as a peace officer. Our community continues to heal from that tragedy. The overwhelming public support shown for law enforcement, including the blue porch lights and signs that still line our roads, is a testament to how deeply our citizens value and respect those who put their lives on the line to protect others.

That backdrop makes Mr. Roush's request particularly troubling. His conviction was not for a technical violation or a momentary lapse in judgment. Deputy Moore was violently attacked while attempting to lawfully perform his duties. Mr. Roush’s actions on the day in question include grabbing and loading a high powered r***e, donning a Kevlar vest that he had as a result of law enforcement training, and then shooting Deputy Moore multiple times resulting in permanent injuries that forced medical retirement for Deputy Moore. Mr. Roush chose violence against a peace officer in an effort to avoid being held accountable for his criminal conduct involving the cultivation of ma*****na. Deputy Moore was fortunate to survive that encounter. Further, Deputy Moore’s heroic actions saved civilians who were nearby from having the Defendant’s gun turned on them.

The record reflects that Mr. Roush entered into a negotiated plea agreement that significantly limited his potential criminal exposure. In exchange, he accepted responsibility for an offense carrying a mandatory prison sentence. Having received the benefit of that negotiated resolution, he now asks that the mandatory consequences of his own bargain effectively be erased through executive clemency.

Executive clemency is an extraordinary remedy reserved for extraordinary circumstances. It is not intended to provide a second opportunity to renegotiate a plea agreement years after the fact simply because the sentence later becomes inconvenient. Granting clemency under these circumstances would undermine the finality of negotiated pleas, diminish accountability for violent assaults on law enforcement officers, and send the wrong message to the victims of violent crime and the officers who continue to place themselves in harm's way every day.

Most importantly, granting clemency would disregard the lasting impact this offense had on Deputy Moore and his family. A peace officer who is assaulted while faithfully carrying out his duties deserves to know that the justice system will stand behind him. Vacating or reducing the consequences of this offense years later would diminish the seriousness of the attack and erode public confidence in the administration of justice.

The people of Morrow County expect that those who violently assault law enforcement officers will be held fully accountable. Mr. Roush knowingly accepted responsibility for this offense through a negotiated plea, received the benefits of that agreement, and was sentenced according to law. Nothing presented in his petition justifies the extraordinary exercise of executive clemency. Letters opposing clemency are included with this email in support of this assertion.

For these reasons, I respectfully urge the Ohio Parole Board to recommend that the Governor deny Shane Roush's petition for executive clemency. Should a hearing be held on this matter, I request that I be notified so that I can advise the victim, Mr. Moore, and make sure I am in attendance.

Respectfully,

Andrew S. Wick
Morrow County Prosecuting Attorney
