Closed park potties spark protest

CINCINNATI

A drama teacher was to lead homeless advocates and people from the neighborhood in a potty protest over a Cincinnati park’s loss of its public restrooms during a reconstruction.

Executive director Josh Spring of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition says the project developer should provide temporary, portable toilets while Washington Park is renovated.

Spring says University of Cincinnati drama professor and longtime supporter of the homeless Michael Burnham planned a protest performance Tuesday outside the offices of nonprofit developer Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. The planned actionwas to include a toilet as a prop and a reading from a book titled “Everyone Poops.”

Woman pleads not guilty in breast-milk spraying case

DELAWARE, Ohio

A central Ohio woman accused of spraying deputy sheriffs with breast milk has apologized while pleading not guilty.

Stephanie Robinette said in Delaware County court Monday that she has no criminal record and takes the charges seriously. According to multiple news reports, she also pledged to seek help for alcohol abuse.

The sheriff said deputies responding to a domestic-dispute call Saturday tried to remove Robinette from a car. According to the sheriff, she wouldn’t cooperate, said she was a breast-feeding mother, then exposed part of her chest and sprayed deputies with breast milk.

Robinette pleaded not guilty to charges including domestic violence, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault. A judge released her on her own recognizance.
