Recorded Shenanigans?

There was an accident in the Massillon City Hall parking lot last week before the city council meeting.

It has been alleged that Council President Glenn Gamber hit a car in the parking lot, and then left the scene, without notifying the police, or the car owner.

According to Glenn Gamber's version of the story, he "bumped" into the other car so lightly, he didn't realize he even hit it.

According to several faithful Review readers, Gamber hit the car twice, the second time backing into it at such an extreme angle, that Gamber knocked the other car's bumper to the ground.

It is alleged that Gamber sat in his own vehicle for a number of minutes before exiting the car, that the car owner called the police, who came to investigate while Gamber was attending the council meeting, and that the police left Gamber a note to contact them.

It is also alleged that Gamber left the scene before he called the police. As the police are also located in city hall, Gamber could have just walked back in the building to talk to them, but chose not to.

The last part of this version of the incident is that the whole thing was recorded on a city hall camera system.

So which version of this story is correct?

We certainly hope it is the former, and not the latter.
