Some charges listed twice with different degrees | Aug 25, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
location: ohio The only information I know is given below. I need a better understanding of why the same charge is listed twice, but with different degrees. The police report is also a little confusing. I just found out my sons father was arrested 3 days ago. The jail roster does not have the statutes listed, but I found them online, so I'm hoping they're correct. He was charged with the following, I put the same charge degrees as shown on the roster: Statute 2925.11: possession of drugs - marijuana (
Will I be arrested for this? | Aug 15, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Ohio So I’m 15 trans male. And while talking to someone who was also 15 male, he sent me pictures of his cock without warning and didnt stop. He also asked me to send pictures of my private parts which I just sent screenshots from the hub. And I’ve been researching and that can technically be considered sending porn to a minor even though he demanded to see photos of my body and sent me pics of him without warning. It can also be considered cp because he sent me dick pics while he was also a minor. Once again, I never asked him to do this. I eventually blocked him and deleted the messages but I’m holding on to some screenshots for evidence. This left me scarred please help thank you Mods I will delete this once I get my answer

(Sorry if the flair is wrong) location: ohio I need help to figure out what i can do legally for my friend For the past six years i’ve (15f) had to watch my best friend (15f) deal with her alcoholic mom. Yesterday her mom attacked her for the first time and i don’t know what to do. For context her dad is out of the picture and she has two younger brothers to two different dads. Also to make it easier to tell the story i’ll just refer to my befriend as J J’s mom was schedule to spend 90 days in jail or prison im not sure which starting yesterday for 3 dui charges. Something was changed and now she only needs to serve 30 days with 2 years probation with counseling and no alcohol starting in two weeks. Last night her mom came home drunk(as usual) and the father of one of the youngest brothers was there at one point. She was fighting with him and eventually called her boyfriend to come over. I’m not sure what happened after but i received texts from J in the morning explaining what happened after she stopped texting. She told me that her mom had barged into her room and started yelling at her for no reason saying she was going to stop supporting her sports and paying for her phone. She took J’s phone and smashed the front and back cameras on the dresser. The entire back was shattered and…
Ohio uninsured accident — $17k subrogation claim. What should be done? | Jul 27, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Ohio A family member was involved in an accident while driving a vehicle that did not have active insurance. The driver only had a permit and received tickets related to the accident. There were no injuries, and there is a court date coming up for the tickets given. The vehicle owner received a letter from a subrogation company representing Allstate requesting around $17,000 for damages and asking the BMV to suspend the driving privileges of both the driver and owner however the driver only has a permit. The letter claims the driver was responsible, but the police report does not clearly state fault. This appears to be a subrogation request, not a court judgment. What are the best next steps? Can claims like this be negotiated? Should an attorney be involved for the court date or insurance claim? Any advice from people who have dealt with Ohio uninsured accidents would be appreciated.
