Officer suspended for racial slur in police chase
The U S Marshals Service placed a deputy on administrative leave after a Facebook Live stream captured him using a racial slur during the pursuit of Lorain suspect Ziaire Duffy. The incident drew internal affairs scrutiny and a zero tolerance stance from U S Marshals officials. Jordan Horn, Duffy’s passenger, recorded the events as officers removed them from the vehicle. Other agencies involved included the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force and the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office with Ohio State Patrol assist.

North Ridgeville rezoning fails for Case Road parcel
North Ridgeville City Council rejected a proposal to rezone 5011 Case Road from R-1 to B-1 for Joseph Lucas to open a bed and breakfast and small event venue, after a 2-5 vote following months of hearings and public comments from Avalon Estates residents and local business owners. Lucas defended that B-1 would not be solely for his family and noted spot zoning has precedent, while critics argued it benefits only the Lucas family and would hinder city progress.
