BENWOOD, W.Va.—
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio has ordered KDC investments, the owner of the former Bellaire toll bridge, to pay $5,000 for contempt of court.
The order, issued by Judge Algenon L. Marbley, tells the owners to secure a $1 million bond required to obtain a demolition permit from the city of Benwood by June 20, 2013.
If KDC fails to secure the bond by then, the court ordered the company pays $1,000 daily.
"I was very surprised to learn this today," said Benwood Police Chief Frank Longwell.
The court order comes after a dispute between the bridge owner and Norfolk-Southern railroad, who claims a pier of the bridge, lays on their property.
Longwell said that they have not heard from KDC Investments or their attorneys in quite some time, but said that once a bond is secured, it will have to go before City Council.
