1. A shoplifting suspect was caught by Lakewood police at a bus stop. According to the Lakewood Police Blotter, a call came in from Giant Eagle on Jul. 22 about a man who took several items from a store by attempting to conceal them under a coat. The caller also informed police that the man was waiting at a bus stop, where he was caught and later charged with petty theft and drug paraphernalia. (cleveland.com)

Fishbaugh received a plaque and various scholarship opportunities, including a $20,000 offer from Sullivan University, for finishing third. Congratulations! (cleveland.com)
