SOLON, OH - Drinking and shooting is a bad idea. Two men decided to test that sentence out for themselves and got themselves charged with Using Weapons while Intoxicated last week. Read on to find out what happened in that incident and others.

Disorderly Conduct, Chicago Deli: Police issued a citation for Disorderly Conduct to an 18-year-old Solon man on April 22. Callers reported an intoxicated man at the Chicago Deli, 34290 Aurora Rd.

Solon EMS was called to the scene and the 60-year-old was later arrested and taken to Solon Jail for Disorderly Conduct.

OVI, US 422: Traveling 140 mph in a 60 mph zone is likely to get you arrested. An 18-year-old from Mayfield Heights was clocked going 80 mph over the speed limit on US 422 on April 23 by police. The officer who clocked the 18-year-old contacted other police via the radio and alerted them to the speedster.
