The defense was expected to call its witnesses Wednesday, including Mixon, but the entirety of the day was taken up by the state's witness, a Cincinnati police sergeant.

Mixon allegedly waved a gun in a woman's face during a road rage incident. After the charge was refiled, Mixon appeared in court and pleaded not guilty. The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor and could carry a maximum sentence of 180 days, a maximum fine of $1000 and a maximum of five years of probation in Ohio.

In Northside, there are plenty of sidewalks, homes and businesses, but green space isn't plentiful — yet, nestled behind a high, black fence on a main Northside street is a bit of an oasis.
