SPRINGFIELD — Springfield city leaders announced that the curfew in downtown Springfield has expired and will not be renewed for the foreseeable future.
The two-day curfew was implemented Monday following weekend protests against the death of George Floyd.

“For the most part, everyone was very compliant with the curfew put in place for the downtown area,” said Bryan Heck, Springfield City Manager.
The Springfield Police Department, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State Highway Patrol helped to secure the downtown area during the two nights that the curfew was in place.
Springfield Police Captain Brad Moos says there were five arrests Monday night and no arrests Tuesday.
