WAYNESVILLE, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio landlord is
accused of whipping a tenant with a belt on his bare buttocks for
falling behind on his rent.
Police in the village of Waynesville say
53-year-old Ron Kronenberger was charged with assault for the Jan. 22
encounter in his office. He was due in court Thursday in Warren County.
Police say Kronenberger told the 29-year-old tenant
that if he was going to act like a child, he would treat him like one.
He then allegedly hit him four times with a belt, leaving small marks.
Police say the tenant told them he was scared and just wanted to get it over with.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/YnFeWC) reports Kronenberger is a former chamber of commerce president. His home phone wasn't taking messages Thursday.
