Motorcyclist killed in wrong-way crash had nearly triple legal blood alcohol: autopsy
Isaiah Allen, 34, died in a July 7 crash at 12:07 a.m. along State Route 161 near Little Turtle Road on Columbus' Northeast Side, The Dispatch previously reported.
Allen, who was driving a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600, drove westbound in the eastbound lanes of State Route 161 and into the front passenger side of a 2022 Honda Accord traveling eastbound, police said. The Honda was driving the posted speed limit of 65 mph, according to a Columbus police crash report.
A laboratory report accompanying the coroner's autopsy report said that at the time of his death, Allen had an ethanol or blood alcohol content of .229% — nearly triple the legal limit of 0.08% under the Ohio Revised Code. A person with a BAC of .20 more than this amount means they are too intoxicated to drive.
After colliding with the Honda, Allen was immediately ejected from the motorcycle and pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner's report noted that his right leg and right arm were amputated in the crash.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis guard Sincere Parker was arrested Saturday on an aggravated assault charge for an attack on his girlfriend, who told police that he choked her and hit her, according to court documents. The woman told police that the attack occurred on May 27 at the Memphis apartment the couple shared. She reported that Parker pushed her, slapped her in the face and choked her, leaving her bruised and bloodied, according to a police report. The woman also told police that Parker broke her cellphone because he didn't want her to have the digital key to the apartment. A warrant for Parker's arrest was issued Friday and the 22-year-old was taken into custody Saturday. An arraignment was scheduled for Monday on charges of felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor vandalism. It was not immediately clear whether Parker had an attorney.

Two men remain jailed after three armed robberies in 41 minutes, Dallas police say
Two North Texas men remain in jail after allegedly robbing three Dallas convenience stores at gunpoint in just 41 minutes earlier this month, according to police. Ubaldo Maquitico, 18, and Adrian Urquiza, 20, are accused of pointing handguns and demanding cash at three stores between 4:14 a.m. and 4:55 a.m. on Tuesday, July 1, the Dallas Police Department said. Urquiza is being held on $100,000 bond, and Maquitico on $50,000 bond, jail records show. Roughly seven minutes after the final robbery, officers spotted the suspects' vehicle near St. Augustine and Lake June Road. Once additional units arrived, police conducted a felony traffic stop, and both suspects surrendered without incident. "These criminals thought they could tear through our city and get away with it, but through excellent police work and good tactics, two dangerous offenders were arrested and their crime spree stopped before an innocent person was hurt," Deputy Chief Patricia Mora said in a release. CBS News Texas will provide additional information as it becomes available.
