MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio
Criminal damage, SOM Center Road:
A man said Nov. 23 he and his mother were cooking and found a bullet in a cabinet they rarely access. He said they found wood splinters in the cabinet and then noticed the bullet and a hole. They subsequently noticed a hole in the siding of their condominium and then one in the neighbor's home as well. Officers spoke to the neighbor, who said he accidentally fired a gun while holstering it about a year ago. Officers removed several firearms from his home to be inventoried. The man, 66, was charged with criminal damage and discharging a firearm in city limits.

If I ever need to unload my carry at home, I always make sure the muzzle is aimed at my vest. 2 level 4 plates had better stop any negligent discharge.

Hopefully, not while you're wearing it.

Are those's felony or misdemeanors if mis is the statue of limitation 6 months. Maybe have a new piece of siding installed.
I'm not sure when the clock starts running on the six month statute of limitations, Steve. If it's when the crime is first noticed and reported, the shooter would still be criminally liable here, right?
I really don't like the idea of ALL the guns being seized.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

MM is 6 months. All other misdemeanors are 2 years. And the clock starts the day the offense occured, not once it is discovered.

Would the arrest have to state when this happened. Right to remain silent
The complaint or affidavit would need to have a date. If the time frame is outside of the statute of limitations this may be the only good time to speak, othe rise the right to remain silent should stand because they can use the discovery date as the date it occured.
