Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser asked Daniel to resign from his position as a township trustee before pleading guilty.

Prosecutors dropped five of the seven charges that Daniel was indicted on last year — which included three felony charges and two other misdemeanor charges.

The charges stem from several incidents that date as far back as December 2016 and as recently as December 2021, according to our news partners at WCPO.
