Here are the top 3 stories today in Cincinnati:

1. The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that the Cincinnati officer suing for defamation may not remain anonymous. Cincinnati Police Officer Ryan Olthaus has sued a group of citizens after they accused him of using a racist sign during a Cincinnati City Council meeting during the 2020 George Floyd protests. Originally, a local judge allowed Olthaus to remain in anonymity with a sealed affidavit but the state's supreme court overturned that motion on Thursday. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
2. Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra returns to the stage with music that showcases two high-profile jazz artists. The music will feature Chick Corea and McCoy Tyner with an early presentation on Good Morning Cincinnati. Tickets can be purchased on the Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra website.
