1 more protection order in Hubbard horn-honking case

WARREN

Garrick Krlich of Hubbard was back in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday seeking a civil protection order against one of the dozens of people who he says have been causing a disturbance at his house by honking their car horns.

In Wednesday’s case, Ray Fenton of Center Street in Hubbard consented to the protection order through Dec. 8, 2013, meaning he agreed to stop honking his horn or otherwise disturbing Krlich and his wife for 21⁄2 years.

Krlich, who filed dozens of protection order requests in common pleas court, is scheduled for hearings on three more cases at 10 a.m. July 13.

Four hearings held on May 4 resulted in protection orders being filed against two Hubbard men — one for two years and one for five years.

Krlich said Wednesday he believes the honking problem has abated in recent months, but the problem woke him up twice early Wednesday — at 12:30 a.m. and 5 a.m.

“It has slowed down. It has gotten better, but better is not fixed,” Krlich said. “They only have to do it one time to wake me up.”

Added his attorney, Robert A. Henken: “It appears to be not as fashionable to be part of the horn-blowing society.”
