Board members at Paradise Resort in Coleraine say that David Weber has spent resort money for his own purposes and tried to get a couple who were among the original group to turn their shares over to him when they resigned, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. They say he is now, in effect, a squatter on their property.

Weber, who filed the original suit in January claiming that the board was trying to drive him out, says that he has a lifetime right to live at the resort. The board filed a countersuit.

After a hearing Friday, a judge in Cincinnati ordered Weber to pay $375 a month plus utilities in rent. In return he is to be allowed to use the pool and all other facilities at the 35-acre resort.
