Seniors in these Cleveland neighborhoods can soon get free doorbell cameras
CLEVELAND (WJW) – Senior citizens who live in Cleveland's Ward 1 will soon be able to apply for a free Ring doorbell camera. 'It would make me feel better than I feel now. It would deter some of the crime in the neighborhood,' said resident Willie McBride. People who live along East 173rd Street in Cleveland were happy to hear Monday that seniors living in Ward 1 can soon apply for a free Ring doorbell camera. 'You took this from a 4-year-old': Parma grandfather's plea after flamingo stolen The program was spearheaded by city councilman Joe Jones as a way to improve safety and security in the neighborhood. 'I'm so thankful that the county made the first step and rewarding us with $160,000. We will match it with discretionary funds,' said Jones. Jones said they hope to give out 2,000 cameras to seniors in Ward 1, which includes the Mt. Pleasant, Union-Miles and Lee-Harvard neighborhoods. New video shows wrong-way driver crashing into 5 cars on Ohio interstate Jones said the cameras are needed now more than ever, especially after seven teenagers were shot in the area of Lee Road and Harvard Avenue over the weekend. 'It sends a strong message that someone is watching you,' said Jones. The cameras and installation are free of charge. Jones said to be eligible, homeowners must be over 55 and make less than $40,000 a year. Jones said seniors will soon be able to apply online and the cameras will be distributed in September.

Owner of raccoon found with meth pipes vows she won't surrender him
SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WJW) – Police initiated a traffic stop in early May after learning the driver, Victoria Page-Videl, had an outstanding warrant. While placing her under arrest, the officers were told there was a raccoon in the car. At first they thought it might have been a joke, but when officer Austin Branham saw the raccoon lift its head over the driver's side window, he noticed the animal had something unusual in its paws. 'The raccoon, Chewy, popped his head up and when I turned to look inside the vehicle to make sure he doesn't hop out, that's when I noticed he was holding a glass methamphetamine pipe,' said Branham. Rescue photos: Deer gets stuck on rocks behind Rock Hall He took the pipe away and immediately noticed that the raccoon, named Chewy, had a second one in his hands. 'Chewy seemed extremely playful. He was kind of just sitting there looking up at us. He was playing around with a plastic bag on the floor. He was going between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, you know, playing around,' said Branham. The story garnered international attention with the image of a raccoon holding a meth pipe. FOX 8 News was able to catch up with Page-Videl days after the arrest, living in a car outside of a condemned house in Akron. She admitted she did not have a permit to keep the animal as a pet and vowed never to surrender Chewy to wildlife officials. One month later, FOX 8 caught up once again with Page-Videl, now living in a tent, still with several dogs and Chewy. The state allows raccoons to be kept as pets if they are bought from an approved breeder and the owner has a permit. No wild caught raccoons can be legally kept as a pet. On Monday, Page-Videl said she bought Chewy online but she cannot find her bill of sale. She continues to vow that she will not surrender the animal, fearing Chewy will be euthanized. 'They (wildlife officers) said they were going to put him in a rehab. They would euthanize him because that's what they wanted to do before,' she said on Monday. 'I've had him since he was little and I'm not going to give him up I'm not giving him up.' West Nile Virus found in Stark County community The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife has not yet said what may become of Chewy. Springfield Township Police Chief Jack Simone told FOX 8 it is his understanding that ODNR is working with Page-Videl's attorney to determine the raccoon's fate. In the meantime, Page-Videl has been indicted on felony drug charges, facing seven total charges, according to Summit County court records arising out of her arrest in May. During a hearing on Monday, her attorney filed a customary demand for discovery prior to trial. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘You took this from a 4-year-old': Parma grandfather's plea after flamingo stolen
PARMA, Ohio (WJW) – An iconic piece of public art in Parma has once again disappeared and for all the wrong reasons. For the second time in just about a year, someone has stolen the pink flamingo statue that stood at the corner of Snow Road and Broadview Road. The fiberglass sculpture, donated to the city, had become a beloved symbol in the community. Dennis Vasko, the man who paid $2,000 to have it made and installed, said this was never meant to be a joke and he wants whoever took it to understand why. 'It's just been an icon for as long as I can remember,' Vasko said. Owner of raccoon found with meth pipes vows she won't surrender him Parma police believe the statue was taken last Friday. Vasko said the loss is personal. He stood just behind the spot where the flamingo once stood and explained his reason for donating it in the first place — a tribute to his granddaughter, Ava. 'We did it for my granddaughter, Ava. It was supposed to be Ava's flamingo,' he said. 'She has non-verbal autism. It's for her and everybody else like her.' While Vasko isn't concerned about the money it cost or the motive behind the theft, he said what matters most now is someone stepping up to do the right thing. 'You took this from a 4-year-old girl with non-verbal autism,' he said. 'The least you could do is just bring it back. Turn yourself in and bring it back.' At least 4 Akron homes struck by weekend gunfire Just last year, a similar statue was stolen from the same location around Memorial Day. That case ended with police identifying the culprits thanks to surveillance footage. Now, Vasko and police are hoping this time around it doesn't have to go that far. His message to whoever is behind this? 'Just be better,' Vasko said. 'Just be better.' Parma police are asking anyone with information to call them immediately. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
