Good morning, Hamilton.

A crash on Nunner Road at 9:30 a.m. Friday caused heavy car damage that closed the road at Indian Wells Drive in Hamilton Township—police say alternate routes are advised and reported injuries remain unconfirmed.

Colerain Township man Glenn McCrackin allegedly fired an AR-15-style weapon through his Grosvenor Drive apartment floor into the ceiling of a unit housing three children, with a judge setting a $40,000 bond and barring him from having a firearm while his case continues—his attorney said the discharge happened accidentally during routine maintenance and the prosecutor noted the shot put the children at risk.

Local mom Jonisa Cook lost her 6-year-old son Joshua when he drowned after wandering away from their West Chester home — her grief has led her to push for a new alert system for autistic children.

State Representative Cecil Thomas has introduced a bill named for Joshua — the proposal has already received bipartisan support.

Jail officials now give addiction medication to 200 inmates at the Hamilton County Justice Center so that they can start recovery (about 500 need the treatment).

They recently received nearly $250,000 from the Attorney General to support long-term recovery programs in the jail.
