Bodycam Video Shows Aftermath of Crash Involving Former Clermont Sheriff

Investigators say hospital blood-test results remain unreleased in the ongoing OVI case.

Overview

  • A.J. "Tim" Rodenberg, 77, is charged with OVI and leaving the scene after a Nov. 18 rear-end crash at U.S. 50 and Walton Creek Road in Columbia Township.
  • Deputies say he left the intersection and was later located in Indian Hill, where his Chrysler Pacifica had gone off the road near two cranes that were blocking the street.
  • Newly released bodycam video shows paramedics questioning Rodenberg, and he appears to struggle with some basic answers in the immediate aftermath.
  • Rodenberg appeared in Hamilton County court Monday, entered a not-guilty plea, and voluntarily surrendered his driver's license.
  • The other driver, a 42-year-old, reported minor injuries, and investigators note the Jewish Hospital blood-alcohol test results could take weeks and have not been made public.
