CINCINNATI

It’s still alive.

An Ohio judge said Tuesday he plans to rule on March 15 on a man’s challenge to zoning citations for a holiday “Zombie Nativity” display in his front yard.

Jasen Dixon faces thousands of dollars in fines from the Cincinnati suburb of Sycamore Township. His attorneys are urging Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Brad Greenberg to dismiss the case, saying the township is trying to suppress his “artistic, political and religious speech.”

Dixon has set up the display the last two Decembers. It features ghoulish figures in place of the baby Jesus and others who would be in traditional Christmas Nativities.
