Afternoon Briefing: Stabbing Charge, Slot Machine Seizure & Muse’s 2027 Festivals
Good Monday afternoon, Toledo — here is the news so far today, from a West Toledo courtroom to searches across northwest Ohio and a big summer announcement for Muse fans.
Stabbing charge in West Toledo
Courtney Le-Shay Ellis, 31, was arrested and charged with second-degree felonious assault after police say she stabbed the 35-year-old father of her children in the abdomen Sunday night, around 11:15 p.m. in the 5500 block of Lewis Avenue. The man was taken to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center. Ellis was arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court Monday morning, with bond set at $50,000 and a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 16. Read the full story on the West Toledo stabbing charge. The charges are allegations, and Ellis is presumed innocent.
State seizes 87 illegal slot machines in Fremont and Findlay
The state seized 87 illegal slot machines in two searches — 28 at Players Circle, 1306 Oak Harbor Rd. in Fremont, and 59 at the Bank, 2720 N. Main St. in Findlay — with undisclosed amounts of money also seized in both cases. The Fremont search followed complaints and involved the Ohio Casino Control Commission and Fremont Police; the Findlay location was searched last week by the commission and local police. No arrests or charges were reported in either search. Read the full story on the slot machine seizures. An October seizure at Shamrock Skill in Findlay was separate and is not part of the 87.
