Police need to crack down on cars with fully blacked-out windows
I feel police should be able to stop any auto that has totally blacked-out windows. Every time I stop at a stoplight and the car next to me has windows so dark you can’t see anything inside, I worry it might be someone with a gun looking to harm someone like me.

Man pleads guilty to 2023 murders of Bowling Green restaurateurs
BOWLING GREEN — A Bowling Green man pleaded guilty Monday to the September murders of the owners of Ninja Hibachi Sushi Steak House and the wounding of another person. Xiaosong Wang, 63, was scheduled to stand trial Sept. 9 on two counts of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, three counts of felonious assault, and two counts of possessing criminal tools. He pleaded guilty Monday to all charges and Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson agreed to forgo recommending life in prison with the possibility of parole. He faces a minimum of 26 years in prison at his Oct. 24 sentencing, Mr. Dobson said. According to authorities, Wang, who worked at the restaurant, lived in a home in the 500 block of Monroe Court in Bowling Green. The home had been purchased by the restaurant owners — Zhichun Huang, 36, and Bing Luan Lin, 40 — and used by restaurant staff as living quarters.
Local activist facing more than 7 years for federal fraud conviction
Sir Maejor Page, a local activist convicted in April of federal wire fraud and money laundering charges, now faces more than seven years in prison when sentenced Oct. 3. During a presentencing hearing Monday in U.S. District Court, Page’s attorneys argued against a raft of enhancements that would have pushed the top limit of any potential sentence from six months all the way up to nine years. Judge Jeffrey Helmick ruled against the defense on all but one of its motions, which knocked the maximum possible sentence down to 87 months. In April, a jury found Page to have willfully misled donors to a Black Lives Matter group about its charitable status and where their money would go, convicting him of single counts of wire fraud and concealment of money laundering and two counts of money laundering. The proceedings Monday were initially set as a sentencing date. But after reviewing a presentencing report, Page’s lawyers filed multiple motions against most of the enhancements, so Judge Helmick opted to use the time to hear their arguments.
Week 1 scouting report: Fordham at BGSU football
BOWLING GREEN — A pair of dynamic offenses capable of lighting up the scoreboard will clash 7 p.m. Thursday at Doyt Perry Stadium when Bowling Green State University hosts Fordham. The Falcons, though, will be looking to do everything they can to keep the Rams from running wild. “The way that I look at playing Fordham, it kind of reminds me whenever we were going against Wishbone teams, to be quite honest with you,” sixth-year BGSU coach Scot Loeffler said. “We’ve got to possess the ball on offense, we’ve got to run the ball, we’ve got to control the clock. “We’ve got to keep this Fordham offense off the field, and we’ve got to protect the ball. … We’ve got to make Fordham earn every single thing that they’re going to get. So we’ll have a good game plan for them.”
