Heckled karaoke singer punches 3 in face, cops say
SANDUSKY, Ohio
Police said a karaoke singer who was booed soon after taking the stage at an Ohio tavern punched three people in the face when bartenders tried to kick him out.
Authorities in Sandusky said the performance ended with the arrest of 20-year-old Isaiah Johnson on charges of disorderly conduct, assault and underage consumption.
Johnson took the stage Tuesday night, and fellow patrons quickly began jeering at him.
A police report obtained by the Sandusky Register says Johnson slammed down the microphone and began swinging when bouncers and other patrons tried to get him to leave the bar. Police said he socked three people in the face.
Johnson was released Thursday from the county jail. No phone listing was available for him in the Sandusky area.
Cat travels 200 miles under car hood in Ohio
MEDINA, Ohio
A cat has survived a four-hour, 200-mile ride under the hood of a car traveling through Ohio.
WJW-TV reports that a man who’d left Xenia in southwest Ohio on a drive to Cleveland on Sunday afternoon stopped at a rest area south of his destination when he smelled something.
A patrolling state trooper found the motorist with his hood up and a large black and white cat that wasn’t his stuck in the engine compartment. The animal had burns on the right side.
The cat was taken to an animal hospital in nearby Lodi where Dr. Linda Randall said he was going to be fine.
Randall is calling him “Eclipse” because that was the model of the car.
The SPCA is trying to find the feline’s owner.
School accused of putting autistic student in bag
LOUISVILLE, Ky.
A Kentucky woman said her 9-year-old autistic son was stuffed into a ball bag at his public school for acting up.
Sandra Baker said officials in Mercer County in central Kentucky described the action as a form of therapy for the boy, whose behavior had prompted them to call family to take him home Dec. 14.
Baker said when she arrived at Mercer County Intermediate School to pick up her son, Chris, she found him wiggling inside the bag in a hallway.
She said the drawstring on the bag was pulled tight.
A small opening was left at the top, and a teacher’s aide was sitting next to the bag.
State education officials said they are investigating the issue. The story was first reported by WLEX and WKYT in Lexington.
