A domestic dispute last August landed an Osgood man in the hospital, then in jail, and now in more hot water with a consistent violation of the Judge’s No Contact Order.

This stemmed from an incident where Clifford “Doc” Winters of Osgood, is accused of being involved in a violent domestic dispute, then shooting himself before he could be taken into police custody. He was airlifted by PHI to University Hospital in Cincinnati, according to Ripley Publishing Co. files.
