School stadium dedicated today

The Enquirer

Cincinnati Public Schools will hold a dedication ceremony at 6:15 p.m. today for the new Stargel Stadium in the West End. The $4-million stadium is located behind Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School, 420 Ezzard Charles Drive.

With 3,000 seats, it will be the home field for Taft, Hughes Center, Shroder, Jacobs and Woodward high schools. The stadium is named for Willard R. Stargel Jr., who taught and coached at Taft High School from 1955 to 1966. During his coaching tenure at Taft High School, Stargel led successful football, basketball, baseball and track teams. He later coached and taught at Walnut Hills High School until his retirement in 1977. Festivities include three football games beginning with the Jefferson High School vs. Shroder High School game at 11:30 a.m., followed by Taft vs. Jacobs, 3:30 p.m., and Withrow vs. Woodward, 7:45 p.m.

Police use Taser in parking struggle

CLIFTON - Cincinnati police said they used a Taser to subdue a 19-year-old Columbus-area woman who struggled with an officer writing a traffic ticket.

Jessica M. Battle of Gahanna faces charges of resisting arrest and obstructing official business, both misdemeanors, following her arrest early Friday. She is to appear in Hamilton County Municipal Court today.

The incident happened at about 2:45 a.m. Friday at the White Castle restaurant on Central Parkway.

Police said Battle began to drive a vehicle in reverse as an officer was ticketing her for parking in a handicapped space. Officers said Battle stopped the vehicle after repeatedly being ordered to stop, but then got out and tried to walk away.

An officer grabbed her arm and she "began yanking her arms away in an attempt to escape," a report says. Officers said they warned Battle they would use a Taser if she continued to resist.

Tealtown Road crash victim, 29, identified

UNION TWP. - Police on Friday identified a man who died in a traffic crash Thursday in this Clermont County community as Thomas A. Holder, 29, of Union Township.

His car went off Tealtown Road, struck several trees, rolled over and landed on its side.

Vehicle recovered in river death case

DELHI TWP. - Authorities Friday said they may be able to release more information Monday in the case of a young man whose body and vehicle were found in the Ohio River.

The body of Christopher J. Olberding, 18, of Delhi Township, was found Oct. 8. Dive teams from the Hamilton County Sheriff's office found his red 1996 Dodge Intrepid Wednesday at Anderson Ferry landing, officials said Friday.

Police do not suspect foul play, but didn't say whether they found evidence that might shed light on what happened to Olberding.
