The Franklin County Sheriff's office and six other area law enforcement agencies will receive a combined total of more than $500,000 from the state to help start or enhance body-camera programs, Gov. Mike DeWine's office has announced.
Meade ordered Goodson to drop his gun, his attorneys say, then shot Goodson. A coroner's report says Goodson was struck six times from behind. His family says Goodson's keys were in the door, he was carrying Subway sandwiches, and had a legal permit to carry a concealed weapon. Weeks after the shooting, the Franklin County Commissioners set aside $2.5 million for the sheriff's office to obtain body cameras. More than a year has passed since Goodson's death and the sheriff's office has not yet introduced cameras to its personnel.
Newark police, in Licking County, also received nearly $100,000 in funding to start a body camera program.
