Ohio law allows assets to be seized when they are used in the commission of a crime or are the proceeds of a crime. They can only be used by law enforcement agencies after a suspect is convicted and a judge declares the assets forfeit.
Burchett has chosen to use the funds to support community drug and alcohol prevention and education programs that serve Clark County. Those receiving funds are:
- CitiLookout Trauma Recovery Center, $1,000
- Clark County Substance Prevention, Treatment & Support Coalition (McKinley Hall), $4,475
- HOPE/Rock of Hope, $3,000
- Oesterlen Services for Youth Inc., $3,000
- Recovery X, $1,000
- Rocking Horse Center, $2,000
- Springfield Peace Center, $5,000
A review panel scored each application and each organization that was awarded grant money will be required to submit reports to show how the funds were used, the release stated.
