A man convicted of inducing panic by making telephone threats to schools in 2014 will have his request to have the convictions expunged from his record heard by the Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals has ruled the common pleas court must schedule a hearing to determine if Charles Tingler is eligible for expungement and if so, whether he is entitled to expungement. In March 2015, Tingler was found guilty of two counts of inducing panic, which are second degree felonies; one count of disrupting public services, a fourth degree felony, and one count of aggravated menacing, a first degree misdemeanor.
