The Affidavit That Helped Take Down a Chief | Mantua Ohio Hearing Part 1

Mantua, Ohio, police hearing. Public accountability. Superintendent Arianne Curtis’s affidavit and live testimony in the Chief Joseph Urso disciplinary hearing. We examine SRO training rules in Ohio, the nepotism policy claims, and how one vague email became “parents and community” in the official record. 🔎

This episode documents the affidavit language vetting claims for SRO candidates, Crestwood Local Schools' involvement, alarm response issues, and the role of the village solicitor. We show receipts and play the testimony so you can hear it yourself. If you care about police corruption, transparency, and the difference between politics and proof, this is for you. 📄

Chapters include the origin of the Curtis affidavit, the distinction between single email and plural claims, SRO training within one year under Ohio rules, the removal of the SRO, and how Facebook posts and closed-door meetings influenced the narrative. We also cover the public records battle over council question cards used in the hearing and what that means for open government in Ohio. ☕️
