The Athens County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to Eighth Street in Jacksonville on April 7 for a report of a man with a gun.

The suspected neighbor
The sheriff’s office was called to North Akron Avenue for an incident report on April 9.
The caller said his neighbors had security cameras facing in the direction of his house, according to the sheriff’s report. The caller showed deputies the location of the cameras and the deputies explained to him that the cameras were pointed towards the public roadway and there was nothing criminal about the location of the cameras.
