CLARK COUNTY -- A former lieutenant for the German Township Fire Department was sentenced Tuesday to 180 days in jail on one count each of furnishing alcohol to a minor and unlawful restraint.
The judge, however, suspended the sentence, meaning Robert Oldham will spend no time in jail. He will spend 60 days on house arrest and pay court fines of $500. He also was ordered to undergo two years of intensive probation.
The 30-year-old Oldham also was required to surrender his law enforcement certificate and will be unable to apply with other departments.
