🌱 Man Charged For Airport Breach + Ohio Awards Grants For Body Cams

Morning, everybody! It's me, Sean Peek, your host of the Cleveland Daily — here to explain everything you need to know about what's happening locally.

But first, today's weather:

Breezy with snow at times. High: 36 Low: 28.

Here are the top three stories today in Cleveland:

1. A 26-year-old man was formally indicted for allegedly breaching the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in November. The man is accused of stealing a car and driving it onto the airport tarmac before abandoning it. (Cleveland 19 News)
2. The state of Ohio plans to award almost $5 million in grants to 112 Ohio law enforcement agencies to pay for body cameras. Agencies include many in Northeast Ohio and Cuyahoga County. (WKYC.com)
3. An Ohio appeals court dismissed an appeal request to reverse an order that keeps abortions legal until 22 weeks in Ohio. The appeals request was issued by Ohio Attorney General David Yost, who wished to reverse the court order. (cleveland.com)
