Woman admits causing overdoses at Ravenna Eagles Club
A Ravenna Township woman has accepted a plea deal in connection with overdoses of a half-dozen people in June at the Ravenna Eagles Club.
Jamie A. Perry, 40, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of second-degree felony corrupting another with drugs and three counts of fifth-degree felony trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound in Portage County Common Pleas Court.
Sentencing is pending completion of a presentencing investigation and report by the court's adult probation department.
Ravenna police said officers and EMS responded to the Eagles Club on Cleveland Road for a report of an unresponsive man about 9 p.m. June 8. The responders then discovered that four other men and a woman were also showing various degrees of medical distress.
All six were treated at the scene, some with Narcan, and were taken to University Hospitals Portage Medical Center. All responded to treatment.
At least some of the victims later identified Perry as the individual who sold them cocaine at the club, police said.
There was no indication that the Eagles Club itself or its employees were responsible for what happened. Police said the club freely cooperated with the investigation, including voluntarily providing police with security video.
A warrant was issued for Perry's arrest in mid-September following an investigation, which included sending DNA samples to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
In a plea deal, other charges in a grand jury indictment were dismissed, including four additional counts of corrupting another with drugs and an additional count of trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound.

Katy Perry fan arrested, stormed on stage during ‘The Lifetimes Tour'
(NewsNation) — A man has been arrested and charged after storming the stage during Katy Perry's Sydney, Australia leg of 'The Lifetimes Tour.' During Perry's performance of her hit 'Hot N Cold,' a fan climbed up on stage before being detained by security. Burwood Police Area Command said he has been charged with two offenses. Sabrina Carpenter announces new album 'Man's Best Friend' The man was reportedly released on bail and is scheduled for court on June 23. He is also banned for six months from the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. In videos taken by crowd members, an unnamed man is seen running toward Perry as she is taking the mic off its stand. Perry was visually caught off guard and swerved to dodge the man's arm on her shoulder. She still continued her performance, screaming, 'Well, there's never going to be another show like this, Sydney, so just enjoy it!' She can also be heard screaming, 'What the hell is going on?' to the audience. King Charles, Prince William expected at Trooping the Colour; no Harry Two security guards eventually chase the man offstage, with another staff member walking closely behind. Fans reacted to the viral video on social media, with some saying Perry 'handled it well' and others criticizing her for reacting in the way that she did. Another fan criticized security, saying, 'omg that's not okay — why didn't the security do something BEFORE???? i mean katy handled it professionally and didn't panic, true performer behavior.' It has definitely not been an easy year for the pop star. One source told NewsNation's Paula Froelich in May that her Las Vegas residency had been called a 'complete failure.' R. Kelly attorney wants singer moved to home detention 'There was a bidding war between Resorts World and Caesars … and Caesars technically lost out — but in the end, Caesars won,' a source said. 'The residency was a disaster for Resorts World, a complete failure.' The source also claimed that Perry was being paid 'between $750,000 and $900,000 a show because of the bidding war,' but she 'underperformed and Resorts World lost money.' Perry does have one show scheduled for Vegas during this tour, but it isn't a full residency. On top of her failed album last year, she was also recently the center of ridicule after the Blue Origin space flight. Her current tour has also had lagging sales. After the flight, the singer faced backlash because she spent most of her three minutes looking into the camera instead of out the window at Earth. She showed a daisy for her daughter and then the setlist for The Lifetimes Tour. Perry was slammed on X by regular users and celebrities. Actress Olivia Munn criticized the space mission before its launch, saying, 'I know that this is probably obnoxious – but like, it's so much money to go to space. You know, there's a lot of people that can't even afford eggs.' Even the fast-food chain Wendy's talked about Perry, commenting on a picture of her kissing the ground, saying, 'Can we send her back.'

A man has been arrested and charged with two offenses after he ambushed the pop star during a concert in confirmed with Fox News Digital that around 9:20 p.m. on Monday, June 9, a man jumped on stage and was detained by security. "The man was arrested by police and taken to Auburn Police Station where he was charged with two offenses - [entering] enclosed lands - not prescribed premises and [obstructing] person in performance of work or duties," the statement from Burwood Police Area Command read. The disruptive fan was granted conditional bail and is scheduled to appear at Burwood Local Court on June 23, 2025. He was additionally issued a six-month banning notice for the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. In a fan video, the man was seen running towards Perry as she was about to take her mic off the stand, during her performance on the Australia leg of her Lifetimes Tour. He stormed the stage during Perry's performance of "Hot N Cold" and grabbed her shoulder. Perry was caught off guard and yelped before she swerved to dodge his arm. The man was then seen jumping with the crowd. The "Teenage Dream" singer continued with her performance as the fan began to dance on stage. Two security guards chased the man offstage, as another staff member walked behind them. The man was ultimately removed by additional security personnel."Well, there's never going to be another show like this. So just enjoy it, Sydney," Perry was heard saying to the crowd as she acknowledged the awkward fan encounter. She continued to scream to her audience, "What the hell is going on?" Fans were quick to react to the viral moment, as one concert-goer commented on the video. "I was there and she handled it super well hit I can't imagine how scary that would've been. Imagine if that person had bad intentions, security took too long," one comment read. Several comments argued that security didn't act quickly enough to solve the situation. "That's scary how long it took security to take him away. Someone with bad intentions could have hurt her easily," another user wrote. One fan wrote, "omg that's not okay — why didn't the security do something BEFORE???? i mean katy handled it professionally and didn't panic, true performer behavior." In April, the "Firework" singer kicked off her space-inspired tour in Mexico City. Her Lifetimes Tour comes after she received major backlash for her high-profile seat on the Blue Origin New Shepard mission. WATCH: GAYLE KING REVEALS KATY PERRY, BLUE ORIGIN SPACE FLIGHT CREW'S NEXT MISSION On April 14, the "Roar" singer was part of an all-female crew along with journalist Lauren Sanchez, TV host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, who journeyed to the stars on the Blue Origin New Shepard mission. Since returning to Earth, the women have faced backlash over the flight's 11-minute duration and estimated cost. While Blue Origin has not disclosed how much each passenger must pay for a ticket to space, the deposit is $150,000 per person.

L.A. probation officer arrested, accused of supplying drugs to juvenile hall
A Los Angeles County probation officer was arrested Tuesday afternoon on charges he smuggled drugs into a juvenile hall where a teen died of a drug overdose in 2023, prosecutors said. Michael Solis, 59, allegedly conspired with two juvenile detainees to sell Xanax to people being held inside of Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar between May and August of 2023, according to a criminal complaint filed last week. Court records show Solis allegedly began conspiring to sell the drugs on May, 14, 2023, just five days after 18-year-old detainee Bryan Diaz died of a fentanyl overdose in the same building. 'Trafficking illegal drugs to juveniles is unconscionable under any circumstances, let alone as a government employee taking advantage of vulnerable youth in need of guidance and support,' Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said in a statement. 'Probation officers have as their primary duty the protection, health and safety of juveniles under their care. My office will not tolerate such an abuse of power, which endangers youth, undermines rehabilitation, and makes our communities less safe.' A spokesperson for the district attorney's office said Solis was cited to appear for arraignment on June 18. The D.A.'s office declined to say if Diaz's death sparked the investigation into Solis, who faces up to three years in prison if he is convicted. Reports of increased drug use among teens held at the Secure Youth Treatment Facility at Nidorf, where Solis worked, had surfaced in the months before Diaz's death. Read more: Judge orders more than 100 youths moved out of troubled L.A. County juvenile hall In April 2023, the L.A. County Inspector General's office detailed two incidents where youths were taken to local medical facilities or revived with Narcan after fentanyl overdoses. A March 2023 search of the unit where the teens overdosed uncovered pills laced with fentanyl and 'two large bindles of what appeared to be fentanyl' inside a dormitory, according to the inspector general's report. Diaz died on May 9, 2023. Five days later, according to the criminal complaint, Solis began conspiring with two juveniles at Nidorf to bring Xanax into the jails. Court filings say he was caught on camera twice handing a juvenile — identified only as "Co-Conspirator A" — small packages believed to be drugs inside Nidorf hall. Solis, who the juveniles nicknamed "Old Boy" in phone calls recorded by law enforcement, was charging as much as $400 per drug drop, according to the complaint. The enterprise fell apart in August 2023, when "Co-Conspirator A" was caught with 106 Xanax pills inside of Nidorf Hall, court records show. 'There is no room in this Department for anyone who violates the public trust and endangers the safety and wellbeing of the youth in our care,' Chief Probation Officer Guillermo Viera Rosa said in a statement Tuesday. 'We applaud the action taken by District Attorney Nathan Hochman, and remain steadfast in our commitment to holding our staff to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and accountability.' Solis first came under scrutiny in October 2023 after another Secure Youth Treatment Facility resident, Nicholas Ibarra, was charged with bringing drugs into the facility. Ibarra told two probation officers — Reggie Torres and David Corona — that he could identify an officer bringing drugs into the facility, according to Tom Yu, an attorney representing both officers. Torres and Corona were both placed on administrative leave a short time later for conducting an "incomplete investigation," according to Yu, who said the charges against Solis vindicated the officers. "My guys were unlawfully f—ed with essentially, they were harassed and they were obstructed from doing their jobs," Yu said. "Solis was the target of the investigation." The probation department has not responded to Yu's allegations since he first made them in 2023. The charges are the latest in a series of criminal investigations targeting probation officers. Earlier this year, a California Attorney General's office investigation into so-called "gladiator fights" at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey led to indictments against 30 officers. A probation supervisor also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in February, years after the Times published footage of him bending a teen in half inside Camp Kilpatrick.
