PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A 17-year-old girl in Ohio was fatally electrocuted after walking into a camper barefoot, officials said. CBS affiliate WTOL-TV reported that first responders were called to Oak Street in Toledo around 8 p.m. on Sunday for a report of a person in cardiac arrest. At the scene, officials learned that 17-year-old Olivia Bright was electrocuted by "faulty wiring" in an empty lot outside her home, WTOL-TV reported. She was taken to a local hospital, where she died. WTOL-TV reported the investigation found that the 17-year-old girl was walking into a camper on the north side of the property barefoot and was fatally electrocuted. Investigators said the camper was unplugged and rain from the night of the incident likely contributed to the electrocution.   Officials also said the camper was not energized and there was no evidence of charring on the door or the camper.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Shawneesha Cobbs, 28, of Chicago, went to an Applebee’s in Indiana and got the $15.99 special, great deal right? Well she allegedly shared with the rest of her table, and that's a big no no. When the manager objected and charged the woman for two specials, they got into a heated argument, resulting in the police being called.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
