against Haney over the alleged theft of nearly twenty seven
thousand dollars. Haney faces seven total felony accounts, including theft

Special Investigations Unit launched an investigation after discrepancies were identified
relating to the proceeds from the sale of salvage vehicles
and separately, Haney's expense reports. Haney was contracted to serve

(00:41):
as executive director of the Allen County RTA beginning in
September of twenty twelve. She left the position in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Trussell also discussed the plans for him to learn and
adapt to a political position.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I'll have a lot of learning, you know. I don't
know this world particularly Fortunately. I believe in our governor
and what he believes in, and my first job is
to go to school on that and then see if

(01:57):
I can evolve and try to make a difference.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Federal authorities are working together to take down immigrant criminals
in Ohio. Officials with the Columbus Dea Office say they
are partnering with Homeland Security to take drug traffickers off
the street and are now turning those who are not
authorized to be in the US over to a new
immigration task force. They collapsed landing gear as the apparent

(02:20):
cause of a deadly plane crash near Phoenix involving a
jet owned by Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil. One
person was killed yesterday at Scottsdale Airport, while three people
were taken to the hospitals, two with life threatening injuries.
TMZ reports that Neil was not on the plane, however,
his girlfriend was. She was taken to the hospital with

(02:42):
broken ribs. The King of Jordan is visiting President Donald
Trump as he sets a deadline to force Egypt and
Jordan to take in Palestinian refugees. Fox's Madeline Rivera has
the details.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
King Abdullah Jordan has said to meet with President Trump
today as he issues this ultimatum to Hamas about the hostages.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Saturday at twelve o'clock and after that, I would say,
all hell is going to break out, and I don't
think they're going to do it.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
On Monday. Hamas said it would delay the next hostage release,
accusing Israel of violating the terms of the ceasefire agreement
by targeting Palestinians in Gaza and delaying the entry of
medicines and supplies. In turn, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz
says Hamas is the one violating the ceasefire terms by
postponing the release of the hostages.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's Fox's Madeline Rivera reporting the President has proposed a
US takeover of the Gaza Strip and promises to redevelop
the war torn region after relocating the Palestinians, and a
local veterinarian has received an honor. Doctor Fred Ryan of
Baker Animal Hospital in Crinersville has been inducted into the

(03:52):
German Short Haired Pointer Hall of Fame. Ryan purchased his
first GSP when he was in high school in nineteen
eighty during the onset of the parvo virus pandemic, he
met a local breeder that bred field trial dogs. He
brought a letter to Baker Animal Hospital to be vaccinated
in March of nineteen eighty one. That's when doctor Ryan

(04:13):
got his first field trial GSP and started field trialing
that fall. He's been involved in the field trials ever since.
