Adamu Williams, 25, allegedly punched, pistol-whipped, and strangled his girlfriend until she passed out after going through her phone. The next day, Williams drove her against her will around with a gun in his lap, looking for “a place to shoot her.” Williams then led police on a chase, and when his girlfriend escaped, Williams fired multiple shots at her. Williams was arrested for 19 charges, including kidnapping, resisting arrest, and assault. While in court, Williams jumped out of a wheelchair he was sitting in, causing chaos as he yelled, “I love you, you know I love you!” Williams is being held on a $770,000 bond for all of the charges. ]]> Tue 09 Jun 2026 18:01:45 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616463/man-jumps-out-of-a-wheelchair-in-a-cincinnati-courtroom-and-is-tackled-and-dragged-ou/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616308/bodycam-shows-columbus-officers-fatally-shooting-man-while-responding-to-domestic-vio/
Columbus, OH - The Columbus Division of Police released body camera video showing the moments before and during the fatal shooting of a man by two officers as they responded to a domestic violence call Tuesday night. According to police, officers were called to the 800 block of Wilson Avenue near East Livingston Avenue around 11:55 p.m. on a domestic violence call. The caller told dispatchers that a man assaulted a female and said he was going to get a firearm. As officers arrived and began walking toward the home, police said they heard multiple gunshots and saw a man, later identified as 33-year-old Isawan Foster, discharging a firearm. Bodycam video released by Columbus police shows around 11:58 p.m., two gunshots are fired, and a voice shouts "Oh" multiple times. Police said Foster was armed with a gun, as the video shows him firing shots toward the building while backing out from an entryway. "Hey," the officer wearing the body camera can be heard saying before he and the other officer fire dozens of shots at Foster lasting about five seconds. The time elapsed from the first gunshot fired to the end of the officer's gunfire is about 10 seconds. The video shows Foster lying on the ground after the gunfire ends. The officer wearing the bodycam begins reloading his gun and then yells, "He's still up." The other officer can be heard saying, "Do not (expletive) move." Officers rendered aid to him until medics arrived. Foster was transported in critical condition to Grant Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead. A firearm was recovered at the scene. Police previously said it’s not clear who or what Foster was shooting at as the officers were approaching. In an update Wednesday, police said 32-year-old Brandon Wade was taken into custody at the scene and was charged with domestic violence and assault. ]]> Fri 05 Jun 2026 08:55:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616308/bodycam-shows-columbus-officers-fatally-shooting-man-while-responding-to-domestic-vio/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616257/what-in-the-waffle-house-is-going-on-in-cincinnati/

Franklin County deputies are searching for a robbery suspect who remembered his manners. According to a video posted by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, a man entered the Red Roof Inn on West Broad Street in Prairie Township near Columbus. The video showed the masked man greeting the clerk with a quick, “How ya doin’?” before demanding that they “fill the bag up.” He repeatedly told the clerk to hurry up while holding one of his pockets, which the sheriff’s office said implied he was in possession of a weapon. He told the clerk that he wanted only bills from the cash drawer and from a safe bag that was kept in a slot next to the drawer. The video then showed the man reach across the counter to take the bag of cash before saying, “Thank you.” The clerk then asked the man if he wanted the rolls of coins. “No, I’m good, thank you,” he said before leaving the hotel. “All right, have a nice night,” the clerk said. Detectives with the sheriff’s office said the man left in a dark colored SUV and released the video in the hopes of identifying him. ]]> Tue 21 Apr 2026 20:56:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614459/ohio-man-robbing-a-hotel-thanks-the-clerk-before-she-tells-him-to-have-a-nice-night/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613511/new-ohio-dance-instructor-sentenced-to-16-20-5-years-for-shooting-innocent-man/

Portage County, OH - A man is in custody after Portage County deputies say he led authorities on a foot chase before being apprehended by a K-9 unit on Wednesday. According to the Portage County Sheriff's Office, deputies received multiple reports on March 18 of a suspicious vehicle in the area of Sandy Lake Road. A caller later reported the suspect had abandoned that vehicle and was attempting to steal another while armed with a gun. Deputies began searching in Rootstown Township when the agency’s P.A.C.E. Unit located the suspect, who then fled on foot, the sheriff’s office said. A deputy, along with K-9 Hector, pursued the suspect. Authorities say the K-9 was deployed, and the suspect was taken into custody shortly afterward, ending the chase. The suspect has been identified as Daniel Summers. During the investigation, deputies determined the vehicle Summers allegedly abandoned had been reported stolen out of Tallmadge. Authorities said the vehicle’s keys were found in Summers’ possession at the time of his arrest. The sheriff’s office also noted Summers had previously been the subject of recent social media rumors regarding an “escaped inmate,” clarifying that the situation involved an individual who left a hospital after being arrested by another agency. According to Ravenna Municipal Court records, Summers has been charged with criminal damaging, resisting arrest, receiving stolen property and obstructing official business. ]]> Fri 20 Mar 2026 23:18:28 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613059/vehicle-theft-suspect-is-taken-down-and-bitten-by-k-9-in-ohio/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613040/drunk-man-barely-able-to-stand-tells-ohio-state-trooper-he-s-hot-during-sobriety-test/
Drunk Ohio man, barely able to stand, tells an Ohio State Trooper he’s “hot” during sobriety tests. “How are ya?” “Sober.” Normally not the best way to start a conversation with law enforcement. OSP pulled over a driver in February after he struck an object and was seen driving down the middle of the roadway, nearly causing a crash. When the officer activated his emergency lights, the driver pulled over to the wrong side of the road. During sobriety tests, he was greeted by another officer and replied, “You’re hot.” The driver was unable to stand on his own and was placed under arrest for OVI. He was transported to the hospital due to the amount of alcohol he had consumed. ]]> Fri 20 Mar 2026 14:23:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613040/drunk-man-barely-able-to-stand-tells-ohio-state-trooper-he-s-hot-during-sobriety-test/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1612543/shootout-in-cleveland-caught-on-ring-camera-on-friday/
This shootout was caught on camera in broad daylight — while children were outside playing at a nearby playground. Bullets flying through a neighborhood where kids were just trying to enjoy their day. Parents and families were only feet away from what could have turned into a devastating tragedy. By what many are calling a miracle… no one was hit. ]]> Mon 09 Mar 2026 10:24:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1612543/shootout-in-cleveland-caught-on-ring-camera-on-friday/
