Structure fire reported on North West Street in Lebanon (2024)

WE STAY DRY BEFORE WE SEE OUR FIRST CHANCE FOR RAIN. THIS IS WLWT NEWS FIVE LEADING THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS, A CRIMINAL CHARGE TONIGHT FOR THE FORMER CITY MANAGER OF MILFORD. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT FIVE. I’M ASHLEY KIRKLEN, AND I’M MIKE DARDIS. MICHAEL DOSS IS ACCUSED OF SOLICITING SEX FROM A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL IN WLWT NEWS. FIVE’S KARIN JOHNSON LIVE FOR US WITH THE NEW CHARGES THAT HE’S FACING. HI, KAREN. YEAH. HEY, MIKE. THAT’S RIGHT. THIS WAS ANNOUNCED JUST A SHORT TIME AGO BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE. LIKE YOU SAID, MICHAEL DOSS, CHARGED WITH SOLICITING. ACCUSED? I SHOULD SAY, OF SOLICITING SEX FROM A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE SAYS DOSS WAS CHARGED TODAY WITH ONE COUNT OF IMPORTUNING OUT OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY. DOSS ABRUPTLY RESIGNED AS MILFORD CITY MANAGER LAST WEEK AFTER HE WAS CONFRONTED ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS. THE AG’S OFFICE SAYS ADDITIONAL CHARGES ARE ANTICIPATED IN THIS CASE, AND THE AG’S OFFICE SAYS DOSS WAS BUSTED DURING AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INVOLVING MIAMI VALLEY’S HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE. I DID CHECK WITH THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY COURTHOUSE. DOCUMENTS HAVE NOT YET BEEN FILED IN THIS CASE, SO HOPEFULLY AS SOON AS THEY DO BY TOMORROW, WE SHOULD LEARN MORE DETAILS. REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT, KAREN JOHNSON, WLWT NEWS FIVE. KAREN, ANY RESPONSE AT ALL FROM CITY OFFICIALS THERE IN MILFORD? YEAH, THEY DID SEND OUT A VERY BRIEF STATEMENT SAYING THEY ARE SHOCKED AND SADDENED BY THIS NEWS. BUT THEY SAID GIVEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGES AND THE FACT IT’S STILL AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COMMENT ANY FURTHER. ALL RIGHT, KAREN JOHNSON LIVE FOR US TONIGHT. KAREN, THANK YOU. ALSO BREAKING TONIGHT HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL DISMISSED STUDENTS EARLY AFTER A REPORTED BOMB THREAT. OUR CREWS ARRIVED AT ABOUT 230 THIS AFTERNOON AND FOUND POLICE BLOCKING ENTRANCES WHILE K-9S SWEPT THE BUILDING. ADMINISTRATORS SAY THAT THEY HAVE EVACUATED THE HIGH SCHOOL AFTER SEVERAL THREATENING CALLS WITH BOMB REFERENCES. AT ABOUT 1230. THEY SAY THE EARLY DISMISSAL WAS OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. CYBER ATTACKS HAVE SHUT DOWN MAJOR COMPANIES AND COST TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. TODAY, THE OHIO CYBER RANGE INSTITUTE AND FEMA ARE TEAMING UP IN THE LATEST EFFORT TO PREPARE FOR A MAJOR ATTACK AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S BRIAN HAMRICK IS LIVE FOR US AT U. C RIGHT NOW TO EXPLAIN HOW THESE CYBER ATTACKS ARE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. BRIAN. YEAH, MIKE. EXPERTS SAY EVERY NETWORK HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF AN ATTACK. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AIRLINES, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, POWER COMPANIES. SOME OF THESE HAVE SOME OF OUR MOST SENSITIVE INFORMATION. AND IT’S HAPPENING EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. TODAY. AN EFFORT HERE AT USI TO STRENGTHEN THE DEFENSES. IT’S AN ACTIVE RESPONSE TO AN INTRUDER. DUCK, DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK A DRILL FOR A THREAT THAT GOT TO THE INSIDE. AND IN THE DIGITAL AGE, SO IS THIS THE IDENTIFY PHASE AND THE PROTECT PHASE? WE ONLY THIS ONE IS FOR AN INTRUDER WHO TRAVELS THROUGH CYBERSPACE AND TIME. SECONDS ARE CRITICAL IN A CYBER INCIDENT. A COUNTDOWN CLOCK KEEPS THE PRESSURE ON DECISION MAKING. WE KNOW THAT THE QUICKER WE RESPOND, THE BETTER WE’RE GOING TO BE, THE LESS DATA WE COULD LOSE. THIS IS THE OHIO CYBER RANGE INSTITUTE WORKING THROUGH THE COMPLICATIONS OF PREPARING FOR AND RESPONDING TO A CYBER ATTACK. TYPICALLY, THE GOAL FOR THEM IS TO GET FIRST HAND, UH, SKILLS ON CYBER READINESS POSTURE. TORNEY LEADS THE DRILL AND PLAYS OUT LIKE A BOARD GAME. CYBER CHESS AGAINST HACKERS. THIS IS A FEMA TABLETOP EXERCISE THAT WE’RE EXPERIMENTING WITH. BUT THAT IS TO ADD TO OUR ARSENAL. REBECCA MICHAEL IS EXECUTIVE STAFF DIRECTOR FOR THE OHIO CYBER RANGE INSTITUTE. SHE SAYS PREPARING FOR A CYBER ATTACK NEEDS HANDS ON EXPERIENCE, JUST LIKE A FIRE DRILL. AND SO THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO HAVE THE ALARMS AND THEN HAVE EVERYONE PRACTICE AS IF THERE’S A FIRE. HOWEVER, WITH CYBER INCIDENTS, IT’S NOT. IF IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN, IT’S WHEN AND THE GOAL IS TO BE PREPARED WHEN THE TIME COMES. YEAH. NOW THE IDEA OF THIS DRILL WAS TO TRY AND ALLOCATE LIMITED RESOURCES, UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WORKS, WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE BETTER AND HOW THOSE RESULTS COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME. REPORTING LIVE BRIAN HAMRICK, WLWT NEWS FIVE. RYAN, THANKS SO MUCH. A MANAGER LIVING IN THE BACK OF A DELHI TOWNSHIP SMOKE SHOP, NOW FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF MORE THAN 20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR SHOOTING AT BURGLARS. PROSECUTORS SAY TONY THACKER IMMEDIATELY OPENED FIRE WHEN HE HEARD A GROUP BREAKING INTO THE VIP SMOKE SHOP IN DELPHI PLAZA BACK IN OCTOBER, THEY SAY. HE CONTINUED SHOOTING EVEN AS THE BURGLARS DROVE AWAY. 16 YEAR OLD TRAVIS JOHNSON WAS KILLED. PROSECUTORS SAY THACKER WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A GUN BECAUSE OF A FELONY CONVICTION HE FACES BETWEEN 22 AND 26 YEARS IN PRISON AFTER HE WAS FOUND GUILTY ON TWO COUNTS OF FELONIOUS ASSAULT WITH A GUN. THACKER SENTENCING IS SET FOR LATER THIS MONTH. WELL, THE COURT HAS PUSHED BACK THE NEXT HEARING FOR A MAN CHARGED WITH KILLING FOUR PEOPLE IN TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS BACK IN 2020. ALTO MILES WAS EXPECTED TO PLEAD GUILTY TODAY, BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THE OVER THE WEEKEND, MILES INDICATED THAT HE WANTED TO THE CASE TO GO TO TRIAL. A JUDGE ENDED HIS PLEA HEARING EARLY AFTER MILES STARTED SHOUTING EXPLETIVES. HE WAS RESTRAINED AND PUT IN A PIT MASK IN COURT. A SPIT MASK FOR MILES IS DUE BACK IN COURT WEDNESDAY, BUT THE COURT SENT A TENTATIVE TRIAL DATE FOR NEXT MONTH. CINCINNATI POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR TWO MEN IN AN ARMED ROBBERY LAST WEEK IN CARTHAGE. IT HAPPENED THIS PAST TUESDAY AT THE VINE STREET MARKET NEAR SEYMOUR AVENUE. POLICE SAY THESE SUSPECTS CAME INTO THE STORE WITH A GUN AT 730 IN THE MORNING, ROBBING THE CLERK. POLICE SAY THEY TOOK OFF IN A GRAY HONDA, WHICH POLICE FOUND TODAY. A JUDGE SETTING BOND AT $25,000 FOR A WOMAN CHARGED IN A STABBING DOWNTOWN. ANTONIA HILL SAYS THE VICTIM HAD ASSAULTED HER FIRST AND THEN RAN OUTSIDE WITH HER PHONE BEFORE SHE SAYS SHE STABBED HIM NEAR THE JUSTICE CENTER EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING. POLICE DID NOT PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON HIS CONDITION BUT DID SAY HE WAS STABLE. HILL IS CHARGED WITH FELONIOUS ASSAULT AT TODAY’S ARRAIGNMENT. THE JUDGE ORDERING HER TO STAY AWAY FROM THE VICTIM. WELL, POLICE IN ARKANSAS HAVE RELEASED CRUISER CAM VIDEO FROM THE INCIDENT THAT LED TO AN OFFICER’S FIRING. A SUSPECT WAS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CRUISER, TELLING POLICE HE NEEDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE HAD DRUGS IN HIS SYSTEM. ALL MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE, THE ONLY THING I LOVE IN THIS WORLD IS HER. I’VE GOT FENTANYL INSIDE OF ME ON THIS CAMERA. I’VE GOT. WELL, THE VIDEO SHOWS JONESBORO OFFICER JOSEPH HARRIS IGNORING THE SUSPECT UNTIL HE WRAPS THE CRUISER SEAT BELT AROUND HIS NECK TO CHOKE HIMSELF. THEN HARRIS OPENS THE DOOR AND PUNCHES AND ELBOWS THE MAN IN THE HEAD UNTIL THE MAN PASSED OUT BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR ON HIS HEAD. THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED AND APPALLED. UM AND IT JUST LIKE WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING HERE, OFFICER HARRIS? LATER WOKE THE SUSPECT UP WITH HIS BATON BEFORE AGAIN CLOSING THE CRUISER DOOR ON HIS HEAD. THE DEPARTMENT FIRED HARRIS. THE NEXT DAY. THE JONESBORO POLICE CHIEF WILL HOST A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION WITH THE LOCAL NAACP CHAPTER TONIGHT, A MASSIVE CLEANUP IS TAKING PLACE IN NEWPORT, KENTUCKY, AFTER A SEMI-TRAILER CARRYING SCRAP METAL OVERTURNED IN A ROUNDABOUT.
