Overview
- Dragline, an ACLU of West Virginia–affiliated outlet, reported documents showing Timothy Loehmann was hired by the Snowshoe Resort Community District in June and the Gilmer County Sheriff's Office in August.
- A sheriff's deputy and the Gilmer County clerk told News 5 Cleveland that Loehmann no longer works for the sheriff's office, with records requested but not yet released.
- Snowshoe posted notice of an executive session to discuss personnel, and the district has not publicly answered detailed questions about Loehmann's status.
- Samaria Rice and her attorney, Subodh Chandra, condemned the hires as a public safety risk, urged protests, and called for a boycott of Snowshoe until the district addresses the matter.
- Cleveland fired Loehmann in 2017 for lying on his application after Independence, Ohio deemed him unfit, and he previously left short-lived roles in Bellaire, Ohio, Tioga, Pennsylvania, and White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia after public outcry.
