Three candidates are vying for the position of Deerfield Township trustee: Laura Lindberg, Stephanie Barringer and incumbent Mark Bann. One of them, Lindberg, in June settled a civil lawsuit accusing her of embezzling from her own mother’s estate, according to Portage County court records.

Lindberg, the daughter of the late Doris Carver and former township zoning inspector Jesse Carver, was sued by her brother in January 2021 and found guilty by a probate judge the following year.
