Good morning, Hamilton.

Clearcreek Township Police arrested 38-year-old Payton Rasey after a lengthy standoff in a Greater Cincinnati home where he allegedly choked his 79-year-old mother—he faces charges of strangulation, domestic violence and inducing panic.

On Saturday at 3:20 p.m. in the 800 block of Montgomery Road in Sycamore Township, a 21-year-old woman allegedly tried to run over the father of her unborn child—then stabbed him with a kitchen knife as a 10-year-old boy in the vehicle sustained minor injuries and was taken to Children's Hospital.

Ohio’s emergency response system is being upgraded with Next Gen 911 — a new technology that lets dispatchers receive texts, pictures, and videos while pinpointing caller locations to within a few feet.

Hamilton County officials say the upgrade, funded by a 60-cent fee on cell phone bills, will create a unified statewide system within five years.

Hamilton mother Brooke Lewis spoke out on Monday to raise awareness for her 1-year-old son Ollie who has hydrocephalus, a condition found during his 20-week scan that may limit his ability to walk or eat.

She is organizing the Greater Cincinnati Walk to end hydrocephalus set for Sept. 27 and is seeking local sponsors to help fund research — her efforts follow a long struggle that included a NICU stay and shunt surgery.
