Teen accused of attacking teacher in Ohio classroom had minimal THC in system, prosecutors say


HAMILTON COUNTY — A hearing has been scheduled to determine whether a teenager accused of severely beating an Ohio high school teacher will be charged as an adult.

As News Center 7 previously reported, a 16-year-old student is alleged to have assaulted a teacher so badly she was taken to the hospital after being punched multiple times in the head, according to our news partner WCPO in Cincinnati.

Part of her skull cap had to be removed “in order to prevent brain damage due to swelling.”

The student claimed that he began freaking out after vaping in the bathroom.

But a new toxicology report released on Monday showed there were only minimal traces of THC in his system, not enough to be impaired, according to Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers.

“The results are he wouldn’t have even been impaired,” she said. “There was some level — a trace amount — of THC metabolite in his blood and his urine, but not enough that would even impair him to operate a motor vehicle. It was such, such a small amount.”

Colerain police previously released body camera video, where the student tells officers he started freaking out minutes after hitting a vape in the bathroom. In the footage, you can see the vape in question that officers bring into an office while they’re questioning the teen. He said he thought he was in a dream.

The teen is first seen on the ground with someone consoling him. When officers ask him if he’s under the influence, he appears to lose his footing and they ask him if he is under the influence.

The teen has been charged with felonious assault and is currently in the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center, WCPO reports.

The hearing that will determine whether the teen will be tried as an adult is scheduled for April.

Trumbull County Commissioners discuss property tax reduction

Trumbull County Commissioners discuss property tax reduction


WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — Trumbull County Commissioners at Tuesday’s weekly workshop meeting discussed the possibility of enacting an additional 2.5% reduction in property taxes for people occupying homes.

Although no decision was made, all the commissioners agreed it was a good idea.

The owner occupancy deduction was one option enacted last year by the Ohio Legislature to lower property taxes.

The other option was the homestead deduction for homeowners 65 or older or permanently disabled. The owner occupancy deduction is the smaller of the two.

The commissioners indicated they hope to vote before July 1.

The deduction would save homeowners $25 for every $1,000 in property taxes but will mean less money for the townships, school and Trumbull County.

Mass shooting at Ohio festival that wounded 12 stemmed from dispute between rival groups, police say

Mass shooting at Ohio festival that wounded 12 stemmed from dispute between rival groups, police say


A mass shooting that left 12 people wounded on Saturday afternoon at a summer festival in Ohio stemmed from “a dispute involving two rival groups,” according to police.

Gunfire rang out just after 5:30 p.m. near the Old West End Festival in Toledo from two gunmen, one from each group, police said. A dozen people were hurt, with the oldest victim being 61 and the youngest 14, police Lt. Dan Gerken said Saturday, noting most were in their early 20s.

Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said Tuesday that a dispute between rival groups led to “a foot chase,” a physical altercation and one person producing a firearm and shooting before someone from the rival group did the same and returned fire.

“While investigators believe some of the victims are intentionally targeted, the majority of those injured appear to have been innocent bystanders caught up in this senseless act of violence,” Troendle said during a news briefing.

Police estimate that three of the victims were involved in the incident, while nine were caught in the crossfire. All of the victims are expected to survive, with nine already having been released from the hospital, Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said at the Tuesday briefing.

Toledo Fire & Rescue Chief Allison Armstrong said bystanders helped in the aftermath of the shooting by administering tourniquets to the injuries of the victims and providing them with comfort.

“While that act showed us the worst of humanity, what followed in the moments after showed us the very best,” Armstrong said.

Detectives have continued conducting interviews since the incident and “identified several persons of interest,” Troendle said. The gunmen police believe to be responsible are between the ages of 18 and 24, and still at large, he said.

Before the shooting, a deputy sheriff at the festival was about to check a bag when someone grabbed it and ran off with it, Troendle said, adding that police are “still trying to piece all that together.” It is not clear who the bag belonged to, or if the firearm was used in the shooting.

Since the shooting, Troendle said that investigators have recovered and are examining two firearms that are believed to be connected to the shooting.

“While there’s still work to be done, I can tell you that investigators continue to make progress,” Troendle said.

Kapszukiewicz said moving forward, young people need to be held accountable for their actions.

“The reality is they did something that deserves punishment and accountability, and when our police find them and arrest them, they will be held accountable,” he said about the gunmen.

Kapszukiewicz also said he thinks the city should finish hosting the Old West End Festival, which was halted a day early after Saturday’s shooting. He said late summer or early September would be a good time to “put a bow on that weekend.”

Changes, including strengthened curfews and more opportunities to check bags, are being discussed for events like the Old West End Festival, Kapszukiewicz said.

“Our heart is broken, and it will take time to work through what happened, and to seek to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” he said.
