Mantua Police vs Hiram Chief: One Hearing, Two Chiefs, Zero Logic

Send us a text

Mantua, Ohio, is already in chaos after a 12-hour disciplinary hearing that looked more like theater than due process. Now we find out the body-worn camera from a key October 6th meeting wasn’t even from Mantua’s own department – it was from the Chief of Hiram, who is also serving as Mantua’s interim chief. 🚔

In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, I break down why I support former Mantua Chief Joe Urso based on evidence, not personalities. I walk you through the October 6th meeting where Solicitor Mason reads a list of charges, declares Urso “on paid administrative leave” and “going to be terminated” before council ever holds a hearing. We look at how the body cam shows keys, passwords, a K-9, and even cash changing hands in a scramble that screams zero planning and no respect for real policy.

Then we talk about the bigger problem: Hiram’s chief acting as a de facto peace officer in Mantua without clear jurisdictional authority, and now running both agencies at the same time. That’s not just bad optics – that’s a recipe for liability. I also explain why the North Royalton case, where a chief allegedly altered an officer’s report, is a completely separate situation and why both still matter for public accountability, police corruption concerns, and small-town Ohio politics. ⚖️

If you care about true crime, body cam footage, and what “public accountability” should really look like in Ohio, this episode is for you. 💥

Be loud. Be heard. Shake the system until the truth falls out.
