Happy 4th of July from Coshocton County Scanner!

As we celebrate Independence Day, we want to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday. Whether you’re grilling out, spending time with loved ones, or heading to local events, let’s work together to keep our community safe and respectful.

A few important reminders from local first responders;

Grill Safety: Keep grills away from buildings and never leave them unattended.

Don’t Drink & Drive: Use a designated driver or ride service—no excuses.

Pets & Noise: Fireworks can be stressful for animals. Keep your pets indoors and secure.

Fireworks Reminder:
While Ohio allows certain fireworks under state law, the City of Coshocton does not permit consumer fireworks to be discharged within city limits. Know the rules before you light anything, and be respectful of your neighbors.

See something concerning? Say something.
Send us non-emergency tips here on the page, but always call 911 in an emergency.

We’ll be monitoring the airwaves throughout the day. Check back for updates, alerts, or road closures.

From all of us at Coshocton County Scanner, have a safe, smart, and meaningful 4th of July!

Accident from Last Night in front of Arby's

05/03/2025

It is with heavy hearts that we join the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in mourning the tragic loss of a dedicated deputy from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. This brave public servant was struck and killed while selflessly directing traffic near the University of Cincinnati's campus. As we grieve this heartbreaking loss, our thoughts and prayers are with the deputy’s family, both in blue and in blood. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten, and we stand united in honoring their commitment to protecting our communities. Please keep the deputy's family and colleagues in your thoughts during this difficult time.
