Akron police have released body-cam footage of an Oct. 1 incident where a suspect died following an encounter with law enforcement serving a warrant. The incident began when member of the U.S. Marshal's Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive task force were trying to serve a felony warrant for vandalism for 34-year-old Johnathan Moore. Police said he had also been previously charged with burglary, assault, strangulation, gross sexual imposition and attempted rape. The 13-minute video released by Akron police shows the incident from body cams of multiple officers. Officers arrive at the residence, announce they have a warrant, then enter the residence. They encounter two men, who direct them to another person in a back room, presumably Moore. Moore is holding a gun to his head while sitting in a chair, and officers are heard yelling at him to put it down. One officer fires a Taser at him. Police said he fired one round, striking himself in the head. An Akron police detective, who was not identified, also fired a shot, striking Moore in the chest, according to police. Moore then falls backward. The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office said Moore was transported to Summa Health in Akron for treatment, but later died. Ohio BCI has been called in to handle the investigation, Murphy said. The detective, who has not been identified, has been placed on paid leave, per department policy. ]]> Mon 12 Oct 2026 17:05:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620595/akron-police-release-body-cam-video-of-suspect-shooting-death/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620589/knife-wielding-man-walking-towards-an-officer-fatally-shot-at-st-charles-hospital/

Kettering, Ohio — On August 19, 2026, at approximately 11:15 a.m., Kettering Police Officers were alerted to a theft suspect driving a stolen Chevy Suburban on Smithville Road near Forrer Boulevard. Detectives and patrol officers located the stolen vehicle parked by a gas pump at the BP on South Smithville Road. Because this same vehicle fled from the Riverside Police Department the previous day, officers positioned their vehicles around it to prevent it from fleeing again. Upon seeing and hearing police lights and sirens, the driver quickly entered the stolen vehicle and attempted to flee, repeatedly ramming police vehicles. Several Officers standing by those vehicles were nearly struck while some officers remained inside their vehicles when they were hit. As the suspect continued revving the engine and spinning the tires in an attempt to flee, officers approached the vehicle to take the suspect into custody and stop the danger to the public. The suspect refused to comply. Officers ultimately used a window punch to break the driver-side window, deployed a Taser, and removed the suspect from the vehicle. During this process, a handgun was observed on the front driver's seat. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Angelo Locurto, was taken into custody. The handgun was determined to be stolen. Suspected narcotics were also located inside the vehicle. A grand jury initially approved multiple charges against Locurto, including grand theft of a motor vehicle, obstruction of official business, failure to comply, assault on police officers, and several firearm-related offenses. On October 6, however, Locurto pleaded guilty to six offenses: grand theft, two counts of failure to comply, assault on a police officer, and two counts of receiving stolen property. Rather than receiving a prison sentence, Locurto was sentenced to five years of probation, two rehabilitation programs, a DUI Victim Impact Program, and restitution totaling $8,589.62—$6,089.62 to the Ohio Attorney General's Office and $2,500 to the Kettering Police Department. In addition to these convictions, Locurto has a prior criminal history that includes Failure to Comply, Improper Handling of a Firearm in a Motor Vehicle, Drug Possession, Drug Paraphernalia, Receiving Stolen Property, and Possessing Criminal Tools. On August 18th, Locurto rammed police cruisers and fled from officers, and on August 19th, he rammed police vehicles in an attempt to escape. He was driving a stolen vehicle and had a stolen handgun in his possession. ]]> Fri 09 Oct 2026 23:59:02 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620519/ohio-officer-deploys-taser-after-suspect-rams-cruisers-with-stolen-suv/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620339/moment-a-tri-state-house-explodes-after-it-was-hit-by-a-vehicle/
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Police are searching for a driver who fled after a vehicle struck a Middletown home early Friday, causing a gas leak and fire that destroyed the house. The crash happened about 2:30 a.m. on Roosevelt Boulevard. Middletown police body camera video captured an explosion at the scene. Assistant Chief Steve Ludwig said the vehicle hit the home, damaging a gas line and sparking the fire about 30 minutes later. The driver left before officers arrived, while a passenger was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not immediately known. Three adults inside the home escaped safely Firefighters waited for Duke Energy to shut off gas and electric service before attacking the fire. Officials said crews quickly extinguished the flames once the utilities were disconnected, but debris had to be cleared before the lines could be reached because there was no separate meter near the road. ]]> Mon 05 Oct 2026 06:49:02 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620339/moment-a-tri-state-house-explodes-after-it-was-hit-by-a-vehicle/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620240/black-man-punched-by-officer-during-arrest-in-ohio/

Batavia, OH - A Clermont County corrections officer was arraigned Wednesday for allegedly assaulting an inmate. Matthew Mullenix pleaded not guilty to two counts of felonious assault. On July 7, Mullenix went into the cell of an inmate who had a shirt wrapped around his neck. Once inside the cell, the shirt was quickly removed. The inmate was taken to the hospital where it was discovered he had injuries unrelated to the inmate reportedly trying to hang himself. In court, an assistant prosecutor said the inmate suffered at least six rib fractures and needed 23 staples to close a head wound. Body cam video also shows the incident. The inmate is blurred out, but blood can be seen on him and the floor. Mullenix was placed on administrative leave. It was ultimately determined that the force used by Mullenix was unnecessary, unreasonable, and inconsistent with department policy and the law, according to Tekulve. ]]> Thu 17 Sep 2026 11:43:02 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619808/ohio-corrections-officer-indicted-accused-of-assaulting-inmate/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619774/women-cops-are-worthless/

Westlake, OH - A driver who crashed after leading officers on a chase, refused to get out of the vehicle, and smoked drugs during the hour-long negotiations, said Westlake police. According to Westlake police, this started around 10:15 p.m. on Sept. 4 when Bay Village police tried to pull over the 51-year-old Parma man. The driver refused to stop and entered Westlake on Dover Center Road and then turned onto Center Ridge Road. After passing Bradley Road, Westlake Police Captain Gerald Vogel said a trained Westlake officer ended the chase with a PIT (Pursuit Intervention Technique) maneuver and the suspect spun out. When officers approached the vehicle, Captain Vogel said the driver texted and talked on the phone while smoking cigarettes and suspected crack cocaine out of straight glass pipe. Officers then broke out the rear windows of the vehicle and dropped in pepper ball, but Captain Vogel said the driver “seemed unaffected by the irritant.” About an hour later, a Westlake Police Department K9 was put in the vehicle. The driver is accused of kicking at the dog, but the K9 was not hurt. Officers then broke the driver’s door glass and tried to pull the suspect out of the vehicle; however, Captain Vogel said the driver had to be tased, because he would not release the steering wheel. The suspect was then taken out of the car and transported to a local hospital to have the taser barbs removed. The suspect is facing several charges, including, failure to comply, tampering with evidence, assaulting a police dog, resisting arrest, and obstruction. ]]> Fri 11 Sep 2026 14:21:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619622/driver-smokes-drugs-during-police-stop-kicks-k9-before-being-pulled-from-vehicle/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619577/60-year-old-ohio-woman-facing-charges-after-crashing-stolen-vehicle/
