‘They Have Decided to Go Silent’: Springfield Police Cut Radio Access as Springfield Descends Into ‘Absolute Turmoil,’ Says Ohio Police Chief

Tremont City Police Chief Chad Duncan says Springfield, Ohio, has fallen into “absolute turmoil” since the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitian nationals.

Blaze News’ Julio Rosas returned to Tremont City, located approximately eight miles outside Springfield, this week to speak with local officials and residents to learn their perspective on the impact of the new arrivals.

Duncan told Rosas that Springfield has descended into lawlessness and that he is concerned it is spreading to nearby towns, including Tremont City.

“You’ve got a city that’s in absolute turmoil,” he said, referring to Springfield. “Everybody’s against everybody.”

One of Duncan’s most significant concerns is the increase in traffic accidents caused by Haitian drivers, who often are not licensed to operate vehicles, he said.

He told Blaze News that Tremont City law enforcement is doing everything possible to crack down on the potentially deadly crashes but noted that Springfield appears to be protecting Haitian nationals from facing any real consequences for reckless driving.
