Investigators believe an unidentified vandal who dumped oil outside two officials' homes may have been motivated by the dissolution of Medina Township's fire department. Medina Fire Chief Bob Painter on Monday found about three gallons of oil dumped on the driveway outside his home. Painter's son nearly crashed his motorcycle when he ran over the oil slick, Medina Township Police Chief David Arbogast said Tuesday evening in a news release. Medina Township trustee Bill Ostmann also found oil outside his home July 16, Arbogast said. "These events may have been political in nature," Arbogast said in the news release.
