The Summit County Sheriff’s Office is losing another top administrator.
Chief Keith Thornton, who has been with the department for a decade, will retire today.
”I’m getting too old,” Thornton, 67, said about his decision. ”I want to spend some time with the wife. We have children in California, and we’re going to visit them. We’ve got relatives in Florida we’re going to visit. And we’re going to get out of here in the winter time.”
Thornton, who retired from the FBI after 30 years as a special agent before joining the sheriff’s office, was one of the first administrators Sheriff Drew Alexander hired when he was elected in 2000.
Thornton oversaw the drug unit and detective bureau.

Cleveland: Suspended cops spent hours in cemetery, strip club lot
CLEVELAND — Two police officers who were suspended for mistaking a dead body for a deer carcass routinely spent time parked in a cemetery and a strip club parking lot, even though their written reports said they were still fighting crime, an internal investigation found.
Public Safety Director Martin Flask suspended Patrolmen Matthew Prince and David Muniz for six months after they drove past the body of murder victim Angela Bradley-Crockett, 28, in the early morning hours of April 5 and reported to dispatch that it was a dead deer.
…
In one instance, the officers wrote in their report that they were booking two men into the Central Prison Unit when they were actually sitting in the strip club’s parking lot, records show.

Suspended police officers spent time in strip club parking lot and cemetery

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two Cleveland police officers suspended after they mistook a human corpse for a dead deer spent hours sitting in a cemetery and a strip club parking lot when they reported they were still working high-priority calls or patrolling the city’s streets during the first four months of the year, a departmental investigation has found.
Between Jan. 1 and April 4, Patrolmen Matthew Prince and David Muniz spent more than 20 hours at the West Park Cemetery, more than three hours parked in the lot of Christie’s Cabaret in the Flats, and periods of time at Steelyard Commons and other locations. The city recently released a 721-page report compiled by Internal Affairs detectives. The report is a combination of the officers’ statements, duty reports, news articles and auto vehicle locator reports — which show the movements of patrol cars. The report does not indicate the officers ignored calls but showed they claimed to still be working calls when they were in the cemetery or elsewhere.
Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Craigslist ad seeks ‘cute’ teen girls for Cleveland County Fair kissing booth
… I’m sure that the Cleveland County Fair management would not allow that at the fair,” he said. “It’s a well-maintained and clean atmosphere at the fair.”
County residents should contact the Sheriff’s Office if they find online ads for potentially illegal activities, Norman said.
“First of all, don’t respond to it,” he said. “Don’t send the messenger any information whatsoever. Report it to law enforcement.”
Sexual solicitations
Accessible Monday night under the “event gigs” listing on charlotte.craigslist.org, the kissing booth ad had been removed Tuesday morning. A notice in its place indicated that Craigslist users had flagged it for violating the website’s terms of use.
Craigslist is a nationwide network of city-centric websites offering free classified ads. Its personals are especially popular, and police in several states have criticized the free service because some have used it to facilitate sex trafficking and prostitution.

Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Ensemble Le Sans-Pareil/Cleveland Orchestra, Greyfriars Kirk/Usher Hall, Edinburgh
Two vastly different representations of classical music from the Americas surfaced in Edinburgh this week. One featured late 18th-century sacred works by Brazilian composers. The other was a late Romantic programme played by the Cleveland Orchestra. Both purported to be “from the New World”, yet both felt like a long-lost mirror of Old World musical values. If Jonathan Mills’s Oceans Apart theme for the 2010 festival tells us nothing else, it is that oceans have been the feeblest of barriers to cross-cultural pollination, and the transatlantic pollination of centuries past is now working in reverse.
Wednesday’s back-to-back concerts made an incongruous mix – not a bad formula for a festival that wants to challenge its visitors. First, in the Calvinist confines of Greyfriars Kirk, came Catholic liturgy from colonial Rio de Janeiro; then, in the Usher Hall, a performance of Berg’s rarely heard Lulu Suite – a belle-letter from decadent Vienna portraying the death of a prostitute (sung here by Laura Aikin). The contrast proved potent, the tiny forces and limited expressive range of Brazilian church music acting as a palette-cleanser for the expansive textures of the Clevelanders’ Berg.

Cleveland Adult Entertainment: UL signee Dischler to pitch for Indians
This past season Dischler went 11-3 with a 3.56 ERA in 17 appearances as a sophomore at LSU Eunice. He fanned 68 batters and walked 33 as the Bengals won the NJCAA Division II College World Series.
Once Mahoning Valley’s season is done in early September, Dischler would likely go to Goodyear, Ariz., and throw in the Arizona Rookie League.
Dischler is the second pitcher that could have been part of UL’s program next season to leave for pro ball.
Right-hander Dayton Marze signed with the Toronto Blue Jays after being drafted in the 14th round following his redshirt sophomore season.
“We appreciate Tony and his parents for how they handled everything,” UL coach Tony Robichaux said. “They kept us in the loop and were honest with us. There’s one side of you that wants him to show up here. I just didn’t want him to prostitute himself. We wish him the best of luck.”

Cleveland Strip Clubs: Cleveland gangster Danny Greene’s explosive life captured in ‘The Irishman …
… The Irishman” chronicles Greene’s rise to power, his battles with Birns and his alliance with Nardi. “The story is just so compelling that actors respond and really want to play these historic figures,” said Reid. “For an actor like Christopher Walken to play Shondor Birns, that’s fun.”
Plain Dealer FileShondor Birns, Public Enemy No. 1, met his own car bomb demise in 1975.
Arrested more than 50 times, Alex “Shondor” Birns was dubbed Public Enemy No. 1. He excelled at extortion, assault and murder. A former club owner, he knew how to keep drinks, food and favors flowing to cops, lawyers, judges and reporters. Years before clashing with Greene, Birns battled Don King, erstwhile Cleveland felon and later hair-raising boxing promoter.
On the evening of March 29, 1975, Birns walked out of a strip club, Christy’s Lounge on Detroit Avenue near St. Malachi Church, and went to start his Lincoln Continental Mark IV. He was 70.
