- Two 13-year-old boys from Perrysburg have been arrested on charges of rape for a sexual assault that may have also been partially recorded in November 2021. One of the teens is receiving the additional charge of pandering sexual oriented material involving a minor.(WNWO NBC 24)
- Lieutenant Jim Schulty of the Toledo Fire & Rescue Dept. saved a fellow hockey player who suffered a heart attack at Tam-O-Shanter Sunday night. Lt.

- A Toledo couple is out several thousand dollars to a sweepstakes scam, paying hundreds at a time for delivery fees of a $2 million lottery they did not enter.
