Man Gets Stuck Turfing Hospital's Lawn, Leaves Truck

The following information was supplied by the Stow Police Department.

A Stow-Kent Animal Hospital employee called Stow Police Nov. 4 because he said there was a car sitting on the grass of his business at 4559 Kent Rd. Police said a man drove a Ford F-350 onto the lawn, turfed the grass and then when the truck got stuck, the driver just left it there. Police called Joe’s Auto to tow the vehicle. The owner of the car, a 45-year-old Munroe Falls man, went to the Stow Police Department to find his truck later. The man was cited for criminal damaging, a second-degree misdemeanor, criminal trespassing, a minor-misdemeanor and reckless opperaton on private property, a misdemeanor offense in this situation. He was issued a summons to appear at the Stow Municipal Court.

I hate it when I rob a convenience store and make the mistake of looking up at the security camera. I always remember to wear my Grocho Marx mask, though. They'll never get me!!!   more ›

Vandals Cut Down Trees at Plum Creek Park

Three trees have been cut down so far this year at the park

Kent police are stepping up their patrols of Plum Creek Park after vandals cut down three trees there. "We've got someone who's on a little destructive path," Kent Parks and Recreation Director John Idone said. "It's a frustrating thing." Idone said he's talked with the police department, which agreed to step up patrols at the park to try and catch the vandals. The latest victim, a 15-inch to 16-inch Locust tree, was found cut down with a saw or chainsaw across the park access road Friday. Previously, a Maple tree was cut down with an axe, and they cut down a smaller tree before that, Idone said. "These are fairly big trees," he said. "We're not talking saplings." Each tree, valued at $1,000, is not likely to be replaced right away. Idone …
