🌱 4 To Be Arraigned Today + Vehicle Thefts + Schools' COVID Protocols

Welcome back, Lakewood! I'm here in your inbox per usual to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Here's the lowdown...

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and pleasant. High: 79 Low: 65.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Lakewood who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Lakewood Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Lakewood today:

1. A grand jury has indicted four people for the murder of a Lakewood man. The Cuyahoga County Grand Jury indicted three men and one woman accused in the murder of a 47-year-old Lakewood man named Victor Huff; the suspects will be arraigned today. The four suspects are being held at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center. (Cleveland 19 News)
2. Police investigated the grand theft of a vehicle and multiple attempted vehicle thefts this month. According to the Lakewood Police Blotter, a man called the police department on Aug. 9 to report a vehicle was missing from the parking lot of a Lake Avenue condominium. Two days later, on Aug. 11, two separate attempted thefts of a vehicle were reported at Newman Ave. and Cove Ave. (cleveland.com)
3. Many Northeast Ohio schools have opened with loosened COVID protocols, meaning masks and social distancing are not required. Earlier this month, the Ohio Department of Health sent guidance to all K-12 schools earlier this month, noting Ohio is in a “much better position” to protect students and staff due to stronger immunities from vaccines and prior illnesses. According to Christine Gordillo, a spokesperson for Lakewood Public School District, classrooms and common spaces will regularly be sanitized. (ideastream)
