The 22yearold got out of house on friday by kicking it out and jumping over the fence and that is the same way tucker and shepherd escaped three weeks ago. And how any did it happen .

In hind sight, this is going to be a mild day. When we look back from tomorrow and thursday. And as we head throughout your tuesday, temperatures will reach the low to mid40s and conditions and they will build in this afternoon and this is brewing in texas and oklahoma and that is going to pick up and head into northeast ohio.

Drivers were three times likely to crash if texting and 12 times if they were dialing even eating behind the wheel, double the risk of a crash. And that makes sense.
