CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) – A “Zombie Nativity” scene in a southwest Ohio suburb has remained undead past the deadline to remove it.
Sycamore Township officials said last week they had received complaints about debris at the home and concluded that the display violates zoning rules on size and placement of yard structures.
Facing a fine and legal action, owner Jasen Dixon instead kept the display up past the Dec. 26 deadline. A Facebook page devoted to the scene urges support for “freedom of expression.”
The township administrator said Tuesday the owner will face fines of up to $250 a day. Officials say they’re not anti-zombie, but pro-zoning rules.
Dixon has started a crowdfunding effort online to build an even better display next year — and to help cover township citations.
