The Ohio Attorney General entered into a contract with the Marion County Sheriff's Office for the use of the county's helicopters in the detection of marijuana fields. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the contract limits the state's usage of the aircraft to a maximum of 177 flight hours, or $48,750.
