Archie the bear's owners, of Lodi, heading to court to keep him | 06 Feb 2015 | Archie the bear won't have to be removed from his home — for now at least. His owners, Debbie and Jeff Gillium, of Lodi, have filed a temporary restraining order against the Ohio Department of Agriculture Agriterrorists in Medina County Common Pleas Court. “We have an understanding with the state of Ohio that everything is going to sit tight,” attorney John Oberholtzer, who is representing the Gilliums, said. Oberholtzer said a hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday before Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier. The state had threatened to remove the bear by Monday.
