LeBron leaving Ohio — not the Cavalier, the jaguar

AKRON

A LeBron is leaving Northeast Ohio, but it’s a cat, not a Cavalier.

Whether NBA superstar LeBron James is staying with the Cleveland Cavaliers is still a big question, but the Akron Zoo says it will say goodbye to another LeBron, a jaguar born there last year.

By mid-June, the cat is going to the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Fla., in hopes he’ll produce offspring with a female jaguar named Masaya.

A zoo statemen said the jaguar LeBron got his name in a contest.

LeBron James grew up in Akron and once lived not far from the zoo’s entrance. He can become a free agent this summer, and there’s been massive speculation about whether he’ll stay in his home state, with Cleveland.

Nigeria: President Goodluck’s wife wins motorcycle

LAGOS, Nigeria

It appears as though Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan’s luck might have rubbed off on his wife.

A spokesman for Union Bank says first lady Patience Jonathan has won a motorcycle in a drawing the bank had for its customers.

Union Bank spokesman Francis Barde told The Associated Press last week that officials have informed the first lady that she won and invited her to claim the motorcycle, known throughout Nigeria as an “okada.”

Chance has played a large part in putting Jonathan into the presidency of the oil-rich nation.

Jonathan formally assumed office after the May 5 death of the elected president.

Previously, Jonathan became a state governor after the elected governor was indicted on corruption charges.

Bank-robbery suspect stopped after trying to escape on bike

ANCHORAGE, Alaska

A man robbed an Anchorage bank and escaped on a bicycle but didn’t get far, police said.

The suspect crashed his bike into a patrol car, slid across the hood and took off running but was detained half a block away five minutes after the robbery, Anchorage Police Lt. Dave Parker said.

Police identified the suspect as Christopher Todd Mayer, 45, of Anchorage. He was turned over to the FBI, which will conduct the investigation.

Police took a call at 1:15 p.m. from a customer who saw a man wearing a camouflage bandanna confront a teller at a downtown Wells Fargo bank branch. The witness reported hearing the man say, “This is a robbery. Give me the money fast.”

The teller stuffed money into the man’s backpack.
