SENECA COUNTY (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Bucyrus City Law Director, Brian Gernert, will remain in the Seneca County Jail following his arrest on suspicion of DUI Saturday night. Gernert was scheduled to appear in the Seneca County Municipal Court, but Judge Rhonda Best recused herself from the case.
The court has reached out to the Ohio Supreme Court to appoint a visiting judge to oversee Gernert’s case, similar to when he was tried in Crawford County on previous charges. Bond will not be set for Gernert until a visiting judge can preside over the case.
