His post-ND career was interesting as well.

Soon after proclaiming a candidacy taking aim at what had become known as the Sin City of the South and as a haven for organized crime, Ratterman was arrested at a Newport hotel room. The police, conducting what they said was an antiprostitution raid, reported finding him in bed with a stripper.

The misdemeanor case was thrown out. According to testimony, Ratterman had been given a knockout drug and had been taken to the hotel room while virtually unconscious in what was evidently a setup in an attempt to force him to withdraw from the sheriff’s race.

In October 1961, six people were named in a federal indictment arising out of the episode — Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy had taken an interest in the case as part of a widespread effort to clean up Newport. Two of the defendants, a lawyer and a former nightclub operator, were convicted in August 1963 of conspiring to violate Ratterman’s civil rights. The others, three of them detectives involved in the arrest, were acquitted.

Ratterman, who had a law degree, was elected county sheriff in November 1961.

“We didn’t have to bust down doors — oh, we did something like that with one or two places,” Ratterman told The Cincinnati Post in 2004, recalling the anticorruption campaign in Newport. “But once we did, the other side knew what was coming, and they left quietly, on their own. We knew who was in charge of the corruption, and they knew we knew.”
