Ben Stiller a Dayton Dragons fan? Actor spotted courtside in team’s merch
SKIMMING SOME COMMUNITIES TO THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING. I’M TRACKING THAT SYSTEM MOVING OUT. A WARM AND WET MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN EVEN BIGGER DROP IN TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND. A RANSOMWARE ATTACK TARGETS THE VILLAGE OF GOLF MANOR, AND LEADERS ARE NOW CONSIDERING PAYING THAT RANSOM TO GET SERVICES BACK ONLINE. HOW MUCH THEY MAY DISH OUT, AND THEIR REASON FOR PAYING PLUS PAY OFF, PLAYOFF HOPES HANGING ON BY A THREAD AFTER A TOUGH LOSS FOR THE BENGALS IN BUFFALO. WLWT SPORTS DIRECTOR CHARLIE CLIFFORD WILL JOIN US FROM HIGHMARK STADIUM WITH WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO KEEP THOSE POSTSEASON DREAMS ALIVE. THIS IS WLWT NEWS 5 TODAY, LEADING THE WAY. ALL RIGHT, 6:00. HERE IT IS MONDAY MORNING. YES. MONDAY AGAIN. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M KELLY RIPPIN. I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON. WE’RE GOING TO GET THROUGH. THROUGH A MONDAY. WE HAVE A LOT IN THE WEATHER DEPARTMENT HAPPENING THIS WEEK. RANDI. LET’S START WITH TODAY. WE SEE THE SNOW SHOWERS. JUST FLURRIES. SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF. SOME LIGHT SNOW FLYING AROUND KIND OF STUFF WHERE YOU’RE DRIVING AROUND. YOU CAN SEE IT MOVING AROUND ON THE ROADS, BUT IT’S NOT REALLY STICKING IN MANY COMMUNITIES. BE AWARE THOUGH, IF YOU DO SEE ROADS THAT LOOK WET, THEY COULD POTENTIALLY BE SLICK AND THAT IS PROBABLY MORE OF A CONCERN ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN MOST COMMUNITIES EARLY THIS MORNING, SO AMPED UP THE SENSITIVITY SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE SNOW SHOWERS ARE FLYING. SOME LIGHT FLURRIES IN HILLSBORO, A LITTLE MORE SUBSTANTIAL SNOW SHOWERS HAVE BEEN FALLING IN PORTIONS OF ADAMS COUNTY FOR THE LAST 2 OR 3 HOURS, AND THEN SLIDING BACK ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES NEAR NEW RICHMOND AND AUGUSTA. WE’VE SEEN THEM SOUTH OF 7175 SPLIT AND BACK INTO AREAS OF SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA. CVG HAS BEEN REPORTING SOME LIGHT SNOW HERE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS AS WELL. SO WE DO HAVE SNOW GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST, NOT REALLY ADDING UP TO MUCH. IF THERE’S A LIGHT COATING, IT WOULD BE GENERALLY IN THE AREAS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THIS MORNING. AND FOR OUR REGION THAT IS ONLY MASON AND ROBERTSON COUNTIES, THOUGH THAT WOULD PROBABLY INCLUDE MAYBE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF ADAMS COUNTY AS A SPOT THAT HAS THAT CHANCE AS WELL. SO EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. WATCH OUT FOR SOME SLICK SPOTS OR A LIGHT DUSTING. LET’S GET OVER TO KATIE BECAUSE SHE’S BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON ALL THE TRAFFIC CAMERAS TO SEE ANY IMPACTS. YEAH, WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANY BIG IMPACTS FROM THE SNOWFALL. IT’S DEFINITELY STICKING TO THE SHOULDER. SOME OF THOSE GRASSY AREAS. THIS IS 7175 AT MOUNT ZION. REALLY LIGHT SNOW FALLING HERE. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. AND THERE IS A MINOR COATING AGAIN ON THE SHOULDER. SOME OF THE SIDE STREETS HERE. SO WATCH FOR THAT. IF YOU’RE DRIVING SOUTH INTO NORTHERN KENTUCKY HERE IN CINCINNATI, NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY ISSUES AT ALL. SO 75 AT THIRD STREET, AS YOU’RE COMING SOUTH ACROSS THE BRANT SPENCE GOT A COUPLE OF MINOR ACCIDENTS TO REPORT. ONE ON OHIO. 222 YOU’VE GOT SOME TRAFFIC ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE THERE, BUT 125 LOOKS FINE. SO ONCE YOU ACTUALLY GET OUT ONTO OHIO, 125 TRAFFIC MOVING ALONG FINE. BUT THAT INTERSECTION, THERE’S A CRASH. WE ALSO HAVE A NEW CRASH REPORT HERE AT MAC AND CHERRY HILL DRIVE. NOT SEEING ANY BIG SLOWDOWNS THERE. WE’LL TAKE YOU OUT TO 275 AGAIN WHERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT SNOW COMING IN AREAS SOUTH. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT AGAIN. TREATED ROADS SHOULD BE OKAY THIS MORNING. WATCH OUT FOR THE UNTREATED SURFACES. OF COURSE. BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES THIS MORNING KELLY. ALL RIGHT KATIE THANK YOU. SO BREAKING OVERNIGHT AN ABANDONED HOME GOING UP IN FLAMES IN COVINGTON. IT HAPPENED AT MISTY LANES AND STITH ROAD. THAT’S OFF OF MADISON PIKE. NOW FIREFIGHTERS SAY THE HOUSE WAS FULLY ENGULFED WHEN THEY ARRIVED ABOUT 1:00 THIS MORNING. THEY GOT THE FIRE OUT QUICKLY BUT THEN STAYED ON SCENE FOR HOURS TO MAKE SURE THAT NO HOTSPOTS POPPED UP. NO ONE WAS HURT. AND OFFICIALS SAY THE HOUSE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ABANDONED FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. SO INVESTIGATORS ARE NOW LOOKING IN TO HOW THAT FIRE STARTED. TODAY, THE VILLAGE OF GULF MANOR WILL CONSIDER PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO STOP A RANSOMWARE ATTACK THAT HAS CAUSED BIG PROBLEMS FOR THIS COMMUNITY. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S GIACOMO LUCA LIVE AT THE VILLAGE’S CIVIC BUILDING THIS MORNING. NOW GIACOMO DOCUMENT DOCUMENTS RELEASED AHEAD OF THE COUNCIL MEETING TODAY, GIVING A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, KELLY, BUT WHAT’S NOT CLEAR THIS MORNING IS EXACTLY HOW THOSE ATTACKERS GOT IN. BUT OFFICIALS IN DOCUMENTS FROM THE VILLAGE DID SHOW THAT THOSE COMPUTER SYSTEMS FROM THE VILLAGE WAS ACTUALLY ENCRYPTED. SO NOW VILLAGE OFFICIALS, ACCORDING TO THOSE SAME DOCUMENTS, SAY THAT RANSOMWARE HAD ALSO AFFECTED ALL OF THE VILLAGE’S STORED DATA BACKUPS, AFFECTING ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL SERVICES. IT’S STILL NOT CLEAR WHICH SERVICES ARE BEING IMPACTED AT THIS TIME. OFFICIALS SAY THE ATTACKERS HAD DEMANDED PAYMENT AND THEN THREATENED TO PUBLISH STOLEN DATA WITHOUT IT. THEY DIDN’T SAY IF ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION WAS COMPROMISED, AND TODAY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL IS GOING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO PAY THE ATTACKERS TO GET A DECRYPTION KEY. RIGHT NOW, THE VILLAGE IS LOOKING TO PAY AS MUCH AS $10,000. OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY WERE TOLD ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THAT RANSOMWARE ATTACK, THAT THOSE COULD COST UPWARDS OF $150,000. NOW, COUNCIL IS SET TO MEET HERE AT THE CIVIC BUILDING TONIGHT AROUND 630. AND HERE IN GULF MANOR, THEY’RE NOT THE ONLY COMMUNITY IN THE AREA THAT’S BEEN IMPACTED BY CYBERSECURITY ISSUES. WE’VE REPORTED ON MIDDLETOWN, WHICH IS STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A CYBER INCIDENT, AND YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THAT ON OUR WEBSITE, WLWT.COM. I’M GIACOMO LUCA IN GULF MANOR, WLWT NEWS FIVE. GIACOMO. THANK YOU. CINCINNATI POLICE SAY THEY HAVE PEOPLE OF INTEREST, BUT NO ARRESTS YET. IN A SHOOTING THAT LEFT A YOUNG BOY AND GIRL HURT. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON ALONG LEXINGTON AVENUE IN AVONDALE. POLICE SAY THE SHOOTING STARTED AFTER A FIGHT, AND THAT THERE WAS A LONG HISTORY OF CONFLICT BETWEEN NEIGHBORS ON THAT STREET. NEIGHBORS SAY THE BOY AND GIRL WHO WERE HIT WERE PLAYING OUTSIDE AT THE TIME. ONE WAS TAKEN INTO SURGERY AT CINCINNATI CHILDREN’S. THE OTHER WAS ONLY GRAZED BY A BULLET. WE’RE TOLD BOTH ARE EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. A MAN ACCUSED OF STEALING AN AMAZON DELIVERY TRUCK AND THEN LEADING POLICE ON A CHASE IN THAT TRUCK, WILL BE ARRAIGNED IN COURT TODAY. POLICE SAY 35 YEAR OLD RYAN BURKE STOLE THE TRUCK ON PEDRETTI AVENUE IN DELHI TOWNSHIP SATURDAY AFTERNOON. OFFICERS PURSUED HIM INTO ADDISON, WHERE HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. BURKE FACES CHARGES INCLUDING ROBBERY AND RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY.
