Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Woman arrested on DWI charge in Rome (newportdispatch.com) — A Rome woman was arrested after allegedly driving into a ditch on Rome-Taberg Road and then trying to flee on foot, leading to a felony DWI charge. Deputies say she was also driving with a revoked license and now faces multiple traffic-related charges while being held in Oneida County Jail for arraignment.
• Man arrested on domestic charges in Rome (newportdispatch.com) — Rome police have charged a Utica man after a weeklong domestic situation on North Madison Street in which a woman was allegedly confined, assaulted, and had her phone taken. After the victim escaped to a neighbor's home to call for help, authorities arrested the suspect, who now faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges pending arraignment.
• The 2026 City & State Hall of Fame (cityandstateny.com) — A Rome-based technology nonprofit, NYSTEC, is highlighted for investing $300,000 to upgrade the YMCA of the Greater Tri-Valley's fitness center in Rome and for pairing college students with small businesses. The broader feature celebrates organizations and leaders across New York that are shaping health care, housing, infrastructure, technology, and workforce development, but Rome's inclusion underscores the city's growing role in statewide innovation and community improvement.
