Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremy Grubb has been named 2020 Trooper of the Year at the patrol's Steubenville post. Lt. Robert Bodo, the post's commander, said Grubb was chosen in acknowledgment of his leadership skills, professional ethics, courteous manner, enthusiasm and cooperation with supervisors, peers and the public. A 1993 graduate of Carrollton High School and Marine Corps veteran, Grubb studied criminal justice at Kent State University and joined the highway patrol in 2002, serving previously at its Delaware and New Philadelphia posts.
He said his father, a Marine Corps veteran who served briefly in law enforcement, and uncle, a former Portage County sheriff's deputy, inspired him to pursue a career in law enforcement. (Photo by Warren Scott)
