Miranda Brothers (Portage County Sheriff’s Office).
Police Officer Miranda L. Brothers, 29, from Mantua, expressed tearfully to Portage County deputies that she had “nothing to hide” as they removed her child and took her in for questioning related to a past criminal case. She adamantly claimed her innocence, stating that she was not involved in any wrongdoing.
On January 2, 2024, authorities in Ohio filed charges of child endangerment against Brothers. Allegations were made that she had left her child unsupervised with a sex offender. The case was ultimately dismissed on July 11, only five days before the scheduled trial, citing the unavailability of a crucial witness due to medical reasons. Despite this, Brothers took further action by suing the sheriff’s office, denouncing the baseless nature of the endangerment accusations.
