The Lima Fire Department is one step closer to modernizing its current fire stations or potentially constructing new ones at different sites. At Monday night’s meeting, Lima City Council gave the green light for the Fire Department to work with KZF Design of Cincinnati on a comprehensive fire station needs assessment and conceptual design study. In other business, council approved legislation for the city to enter into a Community Reinvestment Area tax exemption with Noxus Ohio for a new Clark gas station at 895 S. Cable Road, which formerly housed Ahl for Less. Noxus Ohio requested a tax abatement of 75% for up to 15 years.

Zyshon Stiggers is charged with aggravated robbery and felonious assault after police say he took part in robbing the Clark Gas Station on Bluelick Road in May of 2019. Stiggers was scheduled to appear for a Change of Plea hearing in Allen County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday. However, he was granted more time to make a decision on accepting a plea deal.
An armed robbery Thursday night led to a deputy being shot at early Friday morning. No injuries were sustained but arrests were made. Two 17-year-olds, Duran Tyson Jr. and Zyshon Stiggers were arrested by the Allen County Sheriff’s Office in connection to an armed robbery at Clark Gas Station on Bluelick Road. They took money from two registers and cigarettes at about 10 p.m. Thursday night and after viewing this surveillance video, officials were able to identify Tyson as one of the perpetrators.
Officials have released more information on the armed robbery in Lima from late Wednesday night. Lima police say, two men with their faces covered, held up Clark Gas Station on Findlay Road with a gun around 11:00 p.m Wednesday night. The Lima Police Department is actively searching for the suspects who got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. They say one of the suspects wore a gray hoodie and the other wore a black and gray hoodie.
