Here are the top three stories today in Lakewood:
- NFL independent disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson decided on a six-game suspension for Deshaun Watson for his alleged sexual misconduct, a violation of the league's Personal Conduct Policy. The decision, which came down yesterday, was the culmination of a three-day hearing and a months-long investigation by the league. Watson has faced more than two dozen sexual misconduct allegations by massage therapists over the last year. (Cleveland.com)
- While on a hike in Russel Upland park in Geauga County, Tom Keesey, a volunteer "trailgater" stumbled upon a piece of flint rock that dates back to 10,000 B.C. As a "trailgater," Keesey keeps the park free from debris, so when he came across the rock he knew that it wasn't trash. Mike Fath, another volunteer with the park and a collector of ancient artifacts, was able to identify the find. (Spectrum News 1)
- Angelo's Pizza on Madison Avenue has temporarily shut down due to an oven fire.
