Civil protection orders dismissed

Graduation is behind them and now, hopefully, so is the friction that led two former London High School seniors to seek civil protection orders against each other in recent months.
On Friday, the family of LHS graduate Arron Thompson, 18, 1975 Deer Run Lane, London, formally dismissed a request for a permanent civil protection order against fellow graduate Desaree Long, also 18, of 62 Garfield Ave., London, during a hearing in Madison County Common Pleas Court.
Long dismissed a request for a similar order against Thompson on June 19 in the county’s juvenile court. Thompson was 17 at that time.
Juvenile judge Glenn Hamilton granted Long a temporary protection order against Thompson in April after the woman alleged Thompson attempted to ram her car in the high school parking lot. That order effectively suspended Thompson for the remainder of the school year, although Hamilton allowed both to participate in June 3 graduation ceremonies.
On June 7, Judge Robert D. Nichols denied a similar request by Mrs. Thompson after the woman accused Long of following her son to local restaurants in order to force more trouble. Nichols said Mrs. Thompson’s accusation did not involve a threat of physical harm.
However, Nichols allowed the woman to move forward with her request for a permanent protection order. Friday’s brief hearing appeared to put an end to both that effort and the intra-class dispute.
I’m pretty sure it isn’t, I have no family in this part of the state
Absolutely no class around here. I hear that London is the joke of the county….most likely of the state too. The largest concentration of white trash east of the Mississippi.
Patty you have no idea what you are talking about. London is a great town with a lot of middle class hard working people. Every town has their own version of white trash but don’t assume London has ” the largest concentration of white trash east of the Mississippi” That is just wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!! Sounds like the white trash you speak of must be your relatives!
