Chesapeake, Ohio History
Chesapeake, Ohio, was steeped deep into crimes in the 1940-the 60s. In 1949 Ohio refused to renew a liquor permit for the Club. These crimes were evidently broken up when State Authorities raided both establishments and confiscated about over 40 slot machines. You can read more about these two Gambling Clubs below. The Thacker – Shafer Murder was another horrendous crime that happened in Chesapeake, Ohio.
