Judge Niehaus dead at 64

By Josh Sweigart | Friday, August 1, 2008, 11:27 AM

Butler County Juvenile Court Judge David Niehaus died of a heart attack last night. You can read the story here.

As Butler County’s first juvenile judge, it’s hard to overstate his impact on youth justice in Butler County.

Niehaus made the national spotlight recently when he threatened a man with jail time if his daughter didn’t get her GED. Read about that here.

I’ve had several people call me wanting to share how much of an impact Niehaus had on their lives. One was County Commissioner Gregory Jolivette, who played on a youth basketball team Niehaus coached when Jolivette was in high school.

“Butler County is really going to be losing a very passionate and caring person who cared about kids even though sometimes he had to deal with some tough love sentencing Butler County children.”
