MADEIRA, OH (FOX19)- A man is in custody after police say he stole a woman's purse and used $200 dollars of her money to buy heroin.

Madeira Police say John Spinnie, 45, entered Connections Christian Church on Galbraith Road around 1:00pm Wednesday and told a worker inside he didn't have any money and was having vehicle problems. 

After Spinnie left the church, the victim noticed her purse was missing that contained personal belongings and $500 cash and called police.

Investigators were able to find Spinnie because he left behind a folder with his personal information inside.

Norwood Police Officers later located Spinnie and he admitted to the theft and told officers where he disposed of the purse.

Madeira's K-9, Amigo, searched the roadside along the Norwood Lateral and after about a 30-minute search, he came out of the wooded area with a purse in his mouth.

Sycamore Twp. Trustees meet tonight to talk about firefighters layoffs

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19)- Sycamore Township Trustees will meet Wednesday night to talk about potential layoffs in the fire department.

Township trustee Bruce Raabe says between 70-100 part-time firefighters and about 14 full-time positions could potentially be cut.

According to fire chief's plan, that would leave about 12 full-time firefighters on the job.

Raabe says no one wants to layoff workers but, the township just doesn't have the money to support that many firefighters since the state cut back on funding to local governments.

Sycamore Township Local 3907 President Kelby Thoreson has asked firefighters and the public to attend the meeting to speak out about the proposed cuts.

Wednesday night's meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at 8540 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45236.

Northeast Fire Collaborative tackles child drowning issues

LOVELAND, OH (FOX19) – This is the time of year when people in general and kids in particular start to spend more tmie in and around swimming pool, ponds, and other bodies of water.

Loveland Deputy Fire Chief Billy Goldfeder has sent out this fairly comprehensive manual to preventing your child from drowning, and reducing the odds that a child drowns in your pool.

Child Drowning Season Information

The Spring has traditionally been celebrated across our beautiful greater Cincinnati area as the beginning of the summer season. This time of year means vacations and many families take their first dip in the backyard, neighborhood or community swimming pool. Many vacations or stay-cations revolve around water whether it is at the community pool, clubs, local beaches, or even water-parks.
