David Vornholt, who is president of the New Richmond Ohio Business Association, faces one felony and one misdemeanor charge for possessing and failing to secure a dangerous ordnance for allegedly storing decades-old explosive blasting caps in the attic of his historic home.
Vornholt is a lifelong resident who once operated a bed and breakfast and guest house in the historic homes he owns on Susanna Way along the village waterfront.
He is now facing a slew of legal troubles related to his properties.
In December, New Richmond Village Council voted to declare his home at 208 Susanna Way a public nuisance.
It is slated for demolition unless repairs are made.
