Wicked Lawrence County, Ohio

Bag om Wicked Lawrence County, Ohio

Lawrence County may seem a sleepy little place, but looks are deceiving. The red light district in Ironton attracted enough attention for an FBI raid. On the other side of the law, Judge Lloyd Burwell became nationally known for his strict sentencing, which made him the subject for a movie starring Andy Griffith. A 1915 shooting on a shanty boat on the Ohio River sparked a fierce context between Ohio and West Virginia over who had jurisdiction to prosecute the case. The mob ties of Continental Nite Club in Chesapeake ran all the way to the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas.  Local historian and author Lori Shafer gathers a selection of thrilling and occasionally gruesome tales from Lawrence County's dark past.
