WLWT NEWS FIVE’S GIACOMO LUCA JOINS US LIVE WITH THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING HIS LOW BOND AS THE SUSPECT RETURNS TO COURT THIS MORNING. PLUS, CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS ROLLING OUT A NEW WAY TO STOP STUDENTS FROM USING CELL PHONES IN CLASS. THE SOLUTION THEY’RE TURNING TO AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS THE DISTRICT. THIS IS WLWT NEWS FIVE TODAY, LEADING THE WAY. EXPECT WARMER WEATHER TODAY AS WE APPROACH OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. I’M MEGAN MITCHELL AND I’M KELLY RIPPIN. WE WANT TO GET A CHECK OF THAT FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST RANDI RICO BECAUSE WE’RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND. RANDI MAYBE YOU’RE MAKING PLANS, YOU’VE GOT PARTIES TO ATTEND. YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT FORECAST COULD IMPACT THINGS? YOU KNOW WHAT? FOR JUNE IT’S NOT BAD. IT COULD DEFINITELY BE FAR WARMER AND MORE HUMID. AND WE’LL GET IN ON SOME OF THAT INTO NEXT WEEK. BUT THINGS ARE KIND OF STEADY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. RIGHT NOW, WE’RE STARTING OUT WITH MOST TOWNS UPPER 50S TO RIGHT AROUND 60 DEGREES OR SO. IT IS 63 OFFICIALLY AT THE AIRPORT, BUT YOU’LL NOTICE THAT’S ACTUALLY THE WARMEST READING ON THE MAP. WE’VE GOT 58 IN MIDDLETOWN, 58 IN LOVELAND, 59 HARRISON 60 RIGHT NOW IN DELHI AND IN INDEPENDENCE. AS WE ZOOM ON IN HERE, 63 FOR COVINGTON, 60 RIGHT NOW IN SHARONVILLE, OUR TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL MAKE IT UP INTO THE MID 80S. SO ENJOY SOME SUNSHINE IN THAT LOW HUMIDITY. STAYS IN PLACE. WE SHOULD BE AT AROUND 80 DEGREES BY NOON TODAY AND THEN MID 80S THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LOOKING AHEAD, THERE IS ONE SHOT OF RAIN NOW THROUGH FATHER’S DAY AND IT WILL BE ABOUT THIS TIME TOMORROW MORNING. BUT REALLY NOT LOOKING SUPER DUPER WIDESPREAD. SO COMING UP, I’LL SHOW YOU THE FRONT THAT’S COMING THROUGH AND HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. SUMMER’S HERE BOTH ON THE CALENDAR AND IN THE FORECAST. TEMPERATURES NEAR 90. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HUMIDITY AND POP UP DOWNPOURS COMING UP. LADIES. ALL RIGHT RANDY THANK YOU. WE WANT TO GET A QUICK CHECK OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE WE ARE HEARING ABOUT A CRASH RIGHT NOW ON 75 NORTHBOUND. THIS IS RIGHT NEAR LIBERTY WAY NEAR THE CHILDREN’S LIBERTY CAMPUS. IF YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA RIGHT OFF THE INTERSTATE SO YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC IS MOVING, BUT WE’RE HEARING THAT POTENTIALLY THERE IS A SEMI ON ITS SIDE OR CRASHED INTO SOME KIND OF CONCRETE BARRIER. SO UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAMERAS THERE WE GO. THAT ONE IS SHOWING THE ONE THAT IS BLOCKING THE LANES. AGAIN, TRAFFIC IS STILL GETTING BY, BUT THERE ARE GOING TO BE LIMITATIONS BECAUSE OF THOSE LANE CLOSURES WITH WHAT THEY HAVE TO CLEAN UP. AND AT SOME POINTS THEY MAY HAVE TO SHUT THE ROAD DOWN ENTIRELY IF THEY HAVE TO, TO GET THINGS CLEANED UP. SO WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED HERE. THIS LEFT LANE AGAIN IS BLOCKED 75 BOTH DIRECTIONS, BUT MOSTLY HEADING IN THE NORTHBOUND LANES BECAUSE OF THE AT NEAR NEAR LIBERTY. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED THOUGH AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MORNING HERE. OTHERWISE THINGS ARE LOOKING MOSTLY GOOD OUT THERE. MEGAN. ALL RIGHT KELLY, THANKS. AND 5:02. HAPPENING TODAY. THE MAN ACCUSED OF DUMPING A MISSING WOMAN’S BODY IN A TRASH CAN IS EXPECTED IN COURT. SHE WAS FOUND IN PADDOCK HILLS. HER DEATH ACTUALLY REMAINS A MYSTERY, BUT WLWT NEWS FIVE’S JACK MALUKA IS LIVE FOR US WITH THE DETAILS OF THIS CASE AHEAD OF THE SUSPECT’S FIRST EXPECTED APPEARANCE IN COURT SINCE BEING ARRESTED, GIACOMO. RIGHT, MEGAN. WE WANT TO BE CLEAR. THE 50 YEAR OLD DEAN ALLEN IS NOT FACING CHARGES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE DEATH OF 30 YEAR OLD BRITTANY MORAN. INSTEAD, HE FACES CHARGES RELATED TO TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE AND ABUSE OF A CORPSE. NOW THAT LOVELAND, MOTHER OF SEVEN, WENT MISSING A MONTH AGO UNTIL HER BODY WAS FOUND BEHIND A VACANT BUILDING IN PADDOCK HILLS LAST WEEK, ACCORDING TO JAIL RECORDS. ALLEN IS STILL LOCKED UP DESPITE CONTROVERSY OVER WHAT MANY BELIEVED WAS A LOW BOND. POLICE SAY HE TOLD OFFICERS HE KNEW BRITTANY MORAN AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO JAIL FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. MORAN’S FAMILY HELD A NEWS CONFERENCE AFTER HER BODY WAS FOUND. I WANT MORE ANSWERS. I LOVE MY BABY. SHE KNOWS I WILL GO MILES TO GET TO FIGURE OUT EVERYTHING. NOW THE HAMILTON COUNTY PROSECUTOR, MELISSA POWERS, SAYS THAT SHE BELIEVES DEAN ALLEN IS A FLIGHT RISK AND THAT HIS BOND WAS SET TOO LOW. HE IS EXPECTED IN COURT LATER THIS MORNING AND HE REMAINS IN THE HAMILTON COUNTY JAIL. RIGHT NOW. WE ARE LIVE AT THE HAMILTON COUNTY COURTHOUSE. GIACOMO LUCA WLWT NEWS FIVE. ALL RIGHT, GIACOMO, THANK YOU. AND DEVELOPING ON WLWT. A TEENAGER IS FACING CHARGES AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF STEALING SOMEONE’S KEYS INSIDE OF A GYM, THEN DRIVING OFF WITH THEIR CAR. IT ALL HAPPENED AT THE PLANET FITNESS ON MARBURG AVENUE IN OAKLEY ON TUESDAY. 18 YEAR OLD DWIGHT HUDDLESTON IS ACCUSED OF TAKING SOMEONE’S KEYS FROM A GYM LOCKER ROOM, BEFORE THEN DRIVING OFF WITH THE VICTIM’S CAR. OFFICERS SAY HE DROVE ABOUT TWO MILES TO A NEIGHBORHOOD IN MADISONVILLE, AND THEY FOUND HIM WITH THAT CAR, BUT IT DIDN’T STOP THERE. THE TEEN THEN RAN FROM OFFICERS BEFORE BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. YOU CAN LOOK THERE AND SEE THAT THERE’S CAMERAS ALL OVER, AND TO THINK YOU’RE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, IF YOU HAVE A CONNECTION WITH THE PLACE AND THEY CAN LOOK YOU UP AND KNOW WHO YOU ARE, IT’S JUST I DON’T KNOW. IT’S SAD THAT THAT PEOPLE DON’T THINK. AND HUDDLESTON WAS CHARGED WITH THEFT AND OBSTRUCTION, OBSTRUCTING OFFICIAL BUSINESS. HIS BOND IS AT $5,000. HE’S SET TO RETURN TO COURT NEXT MONTH. CINCINNATI POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A DRIVE BY SHOOTING THAT LEFT A YOUNG GIRL INJURED. THIS WAS ON WELLS STREET SHORTLY BEFORE SIX LAST NIGHT. POLICE TELL US THE JUVENILE WAS INJURED IN THAT SHOOTING AFTER THE BULLET GRAZED HER HEAD. THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED HER EXACT AGE AT THIS TIME. SHE WAS RUSHED TO CINCINNATI CHILDREN’S WITH NON-LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. POLICE SAY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A BLACK SUV THAT DROVE AWAY FROM THE SCENE. NO ONE HAS BEEN ARRESTED AT THIS TIME. A FORMER MUSIC TEACHER IN KETTERING FACING CHARGES AFTER PROSECUTORS SAY INVESTIGATORS FOUND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ON HIS PHONE. POLICE SAY THE INVESTIGATION STARTED LAST YEAR AFTER A 19 YEAR OLD MAN CAME FORWARD TO REPORT HE WAS ABUSED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE VICTIM TOLD POLICE HE EXCHANGED INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL TEXTS WITH MATTHEW KOHLER. KOHLER, WHO IS NOW 37 AND WORKED AS THE CHOIR AND PLAY DIRECTOR AT KETTERING AND VAN BUREN MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR OVER A DECADE. POLICE SAY THEY SEARCHED HIS PHONE AND FOUND TWO VIDEOS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, AND YESTERDAY HE WAS INDICTED ON SIX COUNTS. KOHLER IS NOW ON HOUSE ARREST UNTIL HIS ARRAIGNMENT IN TWO WEEKS. TWO WEEKS AFTER A BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN YOUNGSTOWN EXPLODED, RESIDENTS IN AN APARTMENT NEARBY ARE NOW BEING TOLD THEY HAVE TWO DAYS TO GET OUT. OFFICIALS SAY IT’S BECAUSE OF NEWLY REVEALED STRUCTURAL AND SAFETY CONCERNS AFTER THE EXPLOSION. THE CITY’S FIRE CHIEF SAYS THEY DID NOT THINK THAT BUILDING WAS AT RISK. BUT AFTER GETTING ANOTHER OPINION FROM A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, THEY DECIDED TO EVACUATE PEOPLE IN THAT BUILDING AS WELL. NOW THIS IS LEAVING RESIDENTS SCRAMBLING TO FIND A PLACE TO GO. MANY OF THEM ELDERLY OR DISABLED. PROPERTY MANAGERS AND CITY OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL SOON RELEASE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO. HOPEFULLY QUICKLY, CONSIDERING THEY ONLY HAVE TWO DAYS. YEAH. CLERMONT COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY MOST OF THE COUNTY IS EXPERIENCING BROWN WATER, BUT THERE ISN’T A THREAT TO THE PUBLIC. WE’RE TOLD THIS DISCOLORATION IS BECAUSE OF WATER FLOW CHANGES THAT ARE STIRRING UP IRON AND MANGANESE DEPOSITS. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FLUSHING HYDRANTS. OFFICIALS SAY WHILE THE BROWN WATER IS NOT A GREAT LOOK, IT’S NO THREAT TO YOUR HEALTH. SOME NEW INSIGHTS THIS MORNING ON CELL PHONE POLICIES STRAIGHT FROM THE ACTING SUPERINTENDENT OF OUR SCHOOLS OF OUR REGION’S LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS COMES AS THE DISTRICT SAID IT WILL INCORPORATE POUCHES THAT BLOCK CELL PHONE USAGE. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY AND WE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS. SO WLWT NEWS 5 RICHARD CHILES LIVE WITH THOSE ANSWERS ON WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CELL PHONE POLICY MOVING FORWARD. RICHARD. HEY, WELL, KELLY, A LOT OF THIS COMES FROM THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PUSHING PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HAVE A POLICY IN PLACE BEFORE NEXT JULY. WE GOT A CHANCE TO TALK WITH INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT HERE AT CPS, SHAWNA MURPHY, AFTER SHE DISCUSSED IT WITH WITH PARENTS AND STAFF, SAYING THAT, OF COURSE, CELL PHONES ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST DISTRACTIONS THAT ARE AFFECTING STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM. THE SOLUTION THAT CPS IS COMING UP WITH IS CALLED A YONDR POUCH. DROPPING THE PHONE IN THE BACK. WE’VE SEEN THEM AT CONCERTS. THE DISTRICT ORDERING. 16,000 OF THEM. WE’VE ORDERED THE POUCHES FOR ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS FOR STUDENTS GRADE SEVEN THROUGH 12. ALTHOUGH A POUCH IS EXPECTED TO BE HERE BY THE START OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR, THE POUCH IS ACTUALLY BLOCK CELL PHONE SIGNALS IN AN EFFORT TO LIMIT DISTRACTIONS, HUGHES HIGH SCHOOL PILOT THE TECHNOLOGY LAST YEAR, AND MURPHY SAYS THE FEEDBACK LED TO THE DISTRICT EXPANDING THIS IDEA. THE RESPONSE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN VERY POSITIVE AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE TEACHERS ARE FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE YONDR POUCHES AND WHEN I HEARD THE KIDS SAY THERE WERE FEWER DISTRACTIONS, I WAS ALL IN. SO I THINK ALL OF THE RESPONSES FROM CONSTITUENT GROUPS HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. NOW, THE INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT BEING VERY PROACTIVE, GETTING A CHANCE TO TALK WITH STAFFS AND STUDENTS AFTER SEEING THAT PILOT PROGRAM AT HUGHES HIGH SCHOOL COMING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR, SHE’S GOING TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE COST OF THIS PROGRAM, IMPLEMENTING IT THROUGH THE DISTRICT. AND AGAIN, SEEING 16,000 POUCHES GOING TO STUDENTS FROM GRADES SEVEN THROUGH 12, SEEING THEM IN THE HIGH SCHOOL, LIMITING WHAT USE OF CELL PHONES, ALSO GETTING A CHANCE TO TALK WITH PARENTS, FIND OUT HOW THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CONTACT THEIR STUDENT WITH THAT LIMIT
