Controversial book in high demand in Tri-state

Submitted by Fox19 Web Staff
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012, 8:56pm

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)- A New York Times bestseller is being pulled off library shelves in Florida due to its racy sexual content and S&M themes.

Locally FOX19 called libraries in Hamilton, Warren, Butler, Clermont, Campbell, Kenton, Boone and Dearborn counties to see if any Tri-state branches have done the same thing.

Not a single branch has removed the book, but Clermont County libraries only have an electronic version of the novel by author E.L. James.

Described as an erotic romance the book is for a mature audience and is currently in high demand in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

Kenton County Public Library Executive Director Dave Schroeder says 200 people are on the waiting list to read Fifty Shades of Grey.

And with only 32 copies in the entire county, those 200 people are willing to wait.

Standoff ends with woman going to hospital

BATAVIA TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) – A long standoff on West Fork Ridge Drive off old 32 in Batavia Township has ended peacefully.

A woman locked herself in a camping trailer behind a home on that street and was threatening to hurt herself with a weapon.  Clermont County Sheriff’s deputies were called out after someone called up in mid-morning and said they were concerned about the woman.

When deputies arrived, they could see she the woman was in the trailer and had a gun in her hand. They surrounded the place from late morning to mid afternoon and started talking with the woman, asking her to come out and give up her weapon.

After four hours, she came out and surrendered the gun, which turned out to be a loaded 9 millimeter pistol.

She was taken to a hospital for mental evaluation.  Sheriff Tim Rodenberg says she may face criminal prosecution after she gets out of the hospital.
