Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. OVI suspect on a bike found hiding in bushes: Lakewood Police Blotter (cleveland.com) — Recent Lakewood police reports detail several OVI arrests, including a bicyclist who tried to flee and was found hiding in bushes, plus multiple disorderly conduct cases tied to intoxication. Incidents span familiar streets like Detroit, Clifton, and Clarence avenues, giving residents a clear snapshot of late-August crime and safety concerns in their own neighborhoods.
2. Acres Cover HIM's 'Buried Alive By Love' On Deluxe 'The Host' (themosh.net) — Metalcore band Acres is releasing a deluxe edition of their album "The Host" and bringing their U.S. tour to Mahall's in Lakewood on October 2. The show, with Thousand Below, VCTMS, and Lost In Separation, offers local heavy-music fans a chance to hear new material, including their cover of HIM's "Buried Alive By Love," live.
3. Ohio lawmakers mull pulling data center tax break (fox8.com) — Lakewood's state representative, Tristan Rader, is helping lead a bipartisan push to scale back generous tax breaks for data centers across Ohio. Lawmakers argue that requiring these companies to pay more in sales and property taxes could ease the burden on homeowners, including those in Lakewood, as they craft a post-election reform package.
4. Westlake police charge woman with 5th OVI (cleveland19.com) — A 65-year-old woman who told officers she was driving home to Lakewood was arrested on I-90 in Westlake for what police say is her fifth OVI. After allegedly failing field sobriety tests and refusing a breath test, she faces multiple charges and an immediate license suspension, with her name not yet released.
5. Resident divulges personal information to suspected scammer: Fairview Park Police Blotter (cleveland.com) — Fairview Park police recently handled a scam report, a protection order violation, and a warrant arrest, with one arrested woman ultimately held at the Lakewood Police Department jail for court. Residents are reminded to safeguard personal information after a local shared details with a suspected scammer, and to expect continued cooperation between nearby west-side departments.
