Ohio's new fireworks law goes into effect in July 2022 and allows Ohioans to legally discharge fireworks on certain holidays. With the 4th of July upon the horizon, the new law allows residents to set off fireworks from July 3rd through the 5th, but only during the designated time of 4 PM - 11 PM.

After a new mental evaluation, 25-year-old Kevin Stahr was again found to be not competent to stand trial. Stahr was indicted on one count of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault. On June 4th of 2021, Stahr took a knife and stabbed his mother multiple times. Someone was able to distract Stahr long enough for her to get away and call the police. Stahr will be re-evaluated in a year to see if his mental status changes.
