The scene of the crime
A Hamilton man was driving the car when a Cincinnati firefighter was arrested in New Mexico last week.
The New Mexico State Police told me an arrest report would not be ready until the arresting officer came back on Saturday. Though, they were able to tell me that Hamilton resident Jason Garrett, 34, was arrested with Cincinnati firefighter Ryan Norman at 11 a.m. local time on April 25.
Originally pulled over for a minor traffic infraction, state police said that the duo’s erratic behavior caused them to look closely at the vehicle. That look yielded about 203 pounds of marijuana.
No word on Garrett’s status as of yet. He has no local criminal record according to the Butler County court’s Web site.

Meldahl gets at least one green light
Work on Meldahl, the would-be second hydroelectric plant on the Ohio River that serves the city of Hamilton, is moving along in the review process with the federal government.
City Manager Mark Brandenburger said in his weekly report that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has posted the environmental assessment for the project. Consequently, public comment will proceed for the next 30 days.
This is the final step toward obtaining the hydroelectric license for the city to begin construction. Brandenburger reports that the license could be here as early as July. With rising coal and environmental costs, he calls this “very, very good news indeed.”
