ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) — Two Ohio women have been accused of driving the body of a deceased 80-year-old man to a bank to withdraw money from his account before dropping his body off at a hospital. Police said they were called Monday evening and told that two women had dropped off a body at the Ashtabula County Medical Center emergency room without identifying the person or themselves. A few hours later, one of them contacted the hospital with information on the deceased, who was then identified as 80-year-old Douglas Layman of Ashtabula. A message was sent to the county public defender's office seeking comment if the office was defending one or both. The coroner's office said an autopsy to determine the cause of Layman's death could take up to eight months.

Her worry was that NAFTA’s rules would hurt working people and override U.S. legal standards on food safety and the environment. She hailed from Wausau, Wis., where her family had run a scrapyard. After that first meeting, they kept in touch, swapping notes on how to throw sand in the gears of a free trade machine that seemed unstoppable.

Ohioians issued a resounding rejection of a GOP-led gambit to stymie abortion rights. It also seems pretty clear that more than a year removed from Roe's reversal, Americans remain animated about the future of abortion rights. Just under 642,000 Ohioans voted early, smashing turnout in recent elections, The Columbus Dispatch reported. In comparison, 263,000 Ohioans voted early last May in races that featured contested US Senate and gubernatorial races. The early turnout for Tuesday's special election is more than four times the amount of early votes that were cast in statehouse primary races last year.

Years after she started writing her debut novel, Chelsea Banning settled into Pretty Good Books in Ashtabula, Ohio, on a Saturday in early December for her first author signing. She waited with neatly stacked paperback copies of her book, “Of Crowns and Legends”—which she calls a King Arthur reimagining that takes place 20 years after his death. She had props, including a crown, a little statue of a knight kneeling and holding a pen, and pictures of friends dressed as her characters, in medieval garb.
