WEST CHESTER TWP. -- The father of three children who, along with his family, was featured on TV's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in 2008, was arrested Aug. 3 after violating a civil protection order.
On Aug. 2, Greg Akers appeared at a residence in the 7800 block of Manor Drive, the same home that was featured on the hit television show. Ginger, Greg's wife, filed the complaint against her husband, said police Capt. Joel Herzog.
Clerk of Courts records show Ginger Akers filed for a domestic violence protection order against her husband on April 14, after filing for divorce on March 5.
Herzog said he couldn't discuss details because it involves domestic violence and the case is still pending. Records show Greg Akers is not in the Butler County Jail. A contempt of court hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Aug. 27. Thousands of volunteers showed up to help build the family a new ranch-style home on Manor Drive in July 2008. The one-story, ADA-compliant home was built for the family's three children -- two of whom have spinal muscular atrophy, a degenerative disease that makes mobility difficult. A son suffers from Crohn's Disease.
Butler County Auditor's records show the home is still listed in Greg Akers' name, although police records show he lives in Middletown.
