- TOLEDO

Akron police are sorting out the reported assault of a 29-year-old man in Goodyear Heights on Monday.

It happened in the 100 block of The Brooklands about 9:30 a.m. and, police said, unfolded like this:

A man sitting in a 2002 Jaguar watched another man approach his car and then start smashing out the windows.

The attacker then went after the man inside the Jaguar, accusing him of stepping on his cat.

Police said the attacker possibly used a hammer in the attack, then fled.

Paramedics treated the injured man — who had glass in his eyes, a lump on the back of his head and a few abrasions on his chest — at the scene.

Police did not say whether the injured man knew his attacker, nor whether the victim had stepped on a cat. was designed to ultimately provide three-fourths of its money to Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation and the remainder to Goucher College in Towson, Maryland.

Magee was accused of altering the terms of the trust without consent and failing to file reports with a court in Delaware, where Bruce died.

Magee invoked his Fifth Amendment right to avoid answering questions during the investigat­ion into his misconduct. He attempted to resign during proceeding­s, but his resignatio­n was rejected.

Tower City and Wilson, instead of exiting through the door closest to him, walked by the family. He turned to the kids and threw the hot coffee on the 5-yearold and 11-year-old while screaming profanitie­s, according to police reports.

Court records describe the attack as “unprovoked.” The 5-year-old suffered burns on her face and ear and the 11-year-old on her arm, according to police and court records. Cleveland EMS paramedics treated the burns at the scene and noted both children suffered skin discolorat­ion and pain from the hot coffee.

Citing the inconsiste­nt accounts about how a fatal crash occurred last year on Airport Highway, a Lucas County judge said he had no choice but to send the driver to prison.

Mykah Robinson, 27, who now lists an address in Macomb, Mich., was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for aggravated vehicular homicide. She pleaded guilty July 2 to the third-degree felony for causing an April 22, 2017, crash that killed Michael Suiter, 54, of Toledo.

In one account, Robinson said she’d gotten a leg cramp and was trying to massage it when she went left of center on Airport Highway near Swan Creek Metropark.

Before imposing the sentence, Judge Michael Goulding asked her to tell him what happened that morning. She said she was in a relationsh­ip she was trying to end. She and her boyfriend were arguing, she said, when he grabbed the steering wheel and her car veered into oncoming traffic.

The judge pointed out that tests showed she had extremely high levels of marijuana in her system at the time, though Robinson said she was only an occasional user.

“I’ve got inconsiste­ncies in the medical data. I’ve got inconsiste­ncies in the story about what happened at the scene,” Judge Goulding said. “There’s no doubt Ms. Robinson has suffered an egregious injury ... but nonetheles­s when you’re driving an automobile 20 times over the legal limit for a prohibited substance — whether it’s alcohol, opiates, marijuana, or anything else that’s prohibited by law — the court has to be rather firm in its sentencing.”

In addition to the prison time, the judge suspended her driver’s license for five years.

Defense attorney Kent Sobran asked the court for community control, rather than prison, citing his client’s remorseful­ness, her lack of a criminal record and her ongoing medical needs.

Reddix is also an elder at the Greater Works Church of God in Christ, where his uncle, the Rev. Archie Reddix Sr., serves as pastor.

Both teachers who accused Reddix of the sexual attacks gave remarkably similar stories.

He befriended them with jokes, but the banter eventually became more and more inappropri­ate before turning overtly sexual, both former teachers said. Both said Reddix made them uncomforta­ble but said they tried to brush off the comments.

The first teacher testified that in April 2013, she and Reddix were in his classroom working together on a plan after school when Reddix came up from behind her and put his penis against her shoulder, she said.

She said Reddix mumbled something to her that sounded like “the easy way, or the hard way.”

She jerked her hand up to block Reddix and spun out of the student desk, and shouted “what are you doing,” she said. Reddix grabbed her by the wrist, dragged her to the back of the classroom and leaned against a chalkboard, still clutching her wrist, she said.

Reddix attacked the second teacher over a period of three days in April 2016, she testified. accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman whose ability to resist or give consent was substantia­lly impaired because of her mental or physical condition. The indictment says Flower forced the woman or threatened her with force, and Flower knew or should have known the victim was impaired.

Bond was set during a hearing Wednesday in Stark County Common Pleas Court. Flower is set for arraignmen­t next week.
