<\/p>\nDrug-related arrest made after warrant served at house near Miami University<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIT IS 643 AND WE ARE KICKING OFF NEWS TO GO WITH A LIVE LOOK AT THE BRANT SPENCE BRIDGE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GROUNDBREAKING TODAY ON THE NEW COMPANION BRIDGE PROJECT. YES, IT\u2019S BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR DECADES. AND TODAY WE TAKE A VERY BIG STEP. STEVEN ALBRITTON TRACKING WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. NOW WE WILL HEAR FROM HIM, BUT WE HAVE TO START WITH THE FORECAST FIRST. YES. SO IF YOU ARE ANY ONE OF THE GOVERNORS IN THE STATES AROUND US THAT ARE COMING INTO TOWN TODAY FOR THAT, YOU\u2019RE LOOKING AT SOME GREAT WEATHER TO DO SO. RANDI IT\u2019S GOING TO BE REALLY NICE. THAT\u2019S WHAT, 1:00 I THINK THIS AFTERNOON. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE SOME CLOUDS INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON, BUT 70 DEGREES AND ANY RAIN CHANCES ARE REALLY HOLDING OFF UNTIL LATE TONIGHT. LEFT IN THE CHANCE FOR MAYBE A STRAY SHOWER THIS EVENING SOMETIME BETWEEN 7:00 AND 9 P.M. BUT THE BULK OF THE RAIN IS GOING TO COME IN AFTER 10 OR 11:00. SO LATE NIGHT RAIN AND IT\u2019S GONE BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP TOMORROW MORNING. SATURDAY LOOKS AWESOME. MOTHER\u2019S DAY ON SUNDAY OFF AND ON. RAIN SHOWERS. NOT A WASHOUT BY ANY MEANS, BUT IF YOU\u2019RE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE, KNOW WHERE YOUR INDOOR OPTION IS IN CASE A QUICK SHOWER COMES BY. LET\u2019S CHECK OUT TODAY. YOU CAN SEE AT NOON TODAY, PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WE\u2019RE HEADED TOWARDS 70 DEGREES AND THEN INTO THE EVENING OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE OF RAIN. THERE COULD BE A STRAY POCKET OF SHOWERS SOMETIME ABOUT SEVEN AND NINE. A LOT OF THAT WILL BE OFF TO THE NORTH. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO TEN AND 11:00, RAIN STARTS TO BUILD IN. SO THE RAIN PROGRESSION FOR TONIGHT IS SLOWING DOWN, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS FOR YOUR FRIDAY EVENING PLANS. AND IT WILL RAIN OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS 6 A.M. SATURDAY. SHOWERS ARE GETTING OUT OF HERE AS THE SUN COMES UP. WE\u2019LL HAVE A NICE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AGAIN INTO THE LOW 70S. LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT MOTHER\u2019S DAY ON SUNDAY. PLAN ON THE POTENTIAL FOR OCCASIONAL RAIN SHOWERS. YOU\u2019LL NOTICE NONE OF THEM ARE VERY LONG LASTING. THEY\u2019RE KIND OF QUICK IN AND OUT, OCCASIONAL RAIN. AND THEN THAT\u2019S ABOUT IT, RIGHT? IT\u2019S NOT A LONG LASTING RAIN THAT\u2019S GOING TO REALLY IMPACT ANY PLANS FOR A PICNIC OR GRILL OUT. SO TODAY, TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT RIGHT AROUND 70 DEGREES. WE\u2019LL HAVE THE FULL TIMELINE. A LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FOR TONIGHT\u2019S REDS GAME AS THEY MAKE IT BACK TO TOWN. COMING UP. ADAM WHAT\u2019S HAPPENING ON THE ROADS? YEAH. SO FAR SO GOOD ON THIS FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE TRAFFIC PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT MORE. BUT OVERALL, NO ISSUES. 75 FROM PADDOCK ROAD DOWN TO EZZARD CHARLES AND THE SAME ON 71 THROUGH THE KENWOOD AREA AND LOVELAND MADEIRA EAST OF MADEIRA ROAD. LOOKING PRETTY GOOD OUT THERE THIS MORNING ON 275 EVEN FOR 71 THROUGH NORTHERN KENTUCKY. AS YOU\u2019RE HEADING TOWARDS THE BIG MAC BRIDGE. NO ISSUES HERE. IT IS A FRIDAY. WE TYPICALLY SEE A LITTLE LESS TRAFFIC, BUT OVERALL ALL GREEN ON THE MAP. THIS MORNING WE JUST HAD ONE SEMI ON THE SHOULDER OF 7175 SOUTHBOUND. THAT\u2019S JUST SOUTH OF THE 12TH STREET EXIT. SO JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT. IF IT\u2019S STILL THERE. HASN\u2019T CAUSED ANY SLOWDOWNS, BUT OTHERWISE A GOOD COMMUTE ON THIS FRIDAY MORNING. WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU UPDATED IF ANY TROUBLE SPOTS POP UP. THANK YOU. IT IS 646 RIGHT NOW. WE DO HAVE BREAKING NEWS. THERE ARE SIGNS OF PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING A SECURITY BREACH TARGETING CANNABIS. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF IT. IT\u2019S AN IMPORTANT WEB TOOL FOR STUDENTS NATIONWIDE TO ACCESS ASSIGNMENTS, TO ACCESS GRADES. ALSO BEING AFFECTED BY THIS CYBER ATTACK, INCLUDING NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE FIND WLWT, NEWS 5, GIACOMO LUCA AND GIACOMO. WHAT HAS NKU SAID ABOUT THIS ATTACK? YEAH. MEGAN. WELL, NKU SAYS THAT THEY\u2019RE AWARE OF THIS BREACH. THEY SAY THEY\u2019RE NOW MONITORING THE SITUATION AND TAKING IT PRECAUTIONS. NOW, IF YOU\u2019RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CAMPUS, THAT\u2019S A CLOUD BASED LEARNING SYSTEM THAT\u2019S USED BY STUDENTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH PROFESSORS, CHECK GRADES AND SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS. TENS OF MILLIONS OF STUDENTS USE THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE LOGGING IN SAW LAST NIGHT. A MESSAGE FROM A HACKER GROUP CALLED SHINY HUNTER SAYING THEY WOULD RELEASE DATA IF A RANSOM ISN\u2019T PAID BY TUESDAY, THAT MESSAGE IS NOW GONE, AND CANVAS PARENT COMPANY INSTRUCTURE SAYS SERVICES HAVE BEEN RESTORED FOR MOST USERS, BUT IT\u2019S STILL UNCLEAR IF THAT BREACH HAS BEEN FULLY RESOLVED OR IF THOSE SERVICES HAVE BEEN FULLY RESTORED FOR LOCAL STUDENTS. WE HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT TO AREA SCHOOLS TO SEE WHAT THE IMPACTS ON THAT BREACH HAVE BEEN FOR THEM. WHEN WE GET THOSE UPDATES, WE\u2019LL BRING THEM TO YOU. WE\u2019RE LIVE HERE AT THE CAMPUS OF NKU GIACOMO LUCA WLWT NEWS FIVE. GIACOMO. THANK YOU. A HUGE STEP FORWARD TODAY FOR WHAT IS BEING CALLED ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEADERS ALL TAKING PART IN A GROUNDBREAKING FOR THE NEW BRANT SPENCE BRIDGE CORRIDOR PROJECT. OUR CO-ANCHOR STEVEN ALBRITTON LIVE BY THE BRIDGE NOW. TRAFFIC IS STARTING TO PICK UP STEPHEN, AND THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE A MAJOR EVENT FOR OUR CITY AND OUR TWO STATES. YEAH, AND THAT TRAFFIC BACKING UP ON THE BRIDGE IS SOMETHING THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE ALLEVIATED ONCE EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE HERE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN, MAYBE EIGHT YEARS. BUT WE\u2019RE TALKING GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE, GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR, U.S. SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL AND OTHERS WILL ALL BE ON HAND FOR THIS GROUNDBREAKING, REALLY DECADES IN THE MAKING TO GET TO THIS POINT, BECAUSE THIS PROJECT REALLY NEEDED TO HAPPEN. AND THE FUNDING WAS FINALLY PUT TOGETHER A FINAL LOOK OF WHAT THE BRANT SPENCE BRIDGE PROJECT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT\u2019S ALL SAID AND DONE WAS JUST SHARED LAST JUNE. IT WILL BE ALONGSIDE THE CURRENT BRIDGE. IT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY CABLES TO MAKE IT EASIER TO MAINTAIN, AND THE GOAL HERE IS TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW. $1 BILLION WORTH OF FREIGHT MOVES ACROSS THE BRANDEN FRANTZ EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND THEY WANT TO KEEP THAT MOVING. AND THEN SOME, ESPECIALLY WITH MORE THINGS HAPPENING AROUND THE REGION. NOW, BEFORE THAT, THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST SEVEN YEARS TO COMPLETE. THERE WILL BE CLOSURES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER. THERE WILL BE DETOURS ON BOTH SIDES, ESPECIALLY HERE IN COVINGTON. IT\u2019S REALLY GOING TO CHANGE HOW COVINGTON LOOKS ON THIS SIDE OF THE CITY, AND WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU ON TOP OF ANYTHING THAT CHANGES ALONG THE WAY. AS FOR THAT GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY 1:00 ON THE OHIO SIDE OF THE RIVER, WE HERE AT WLWT WILL BRING IT TO YOU LIVE ON AIR. AS THAT HAPPENS, THE BRIDGE YOU\u2019VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR STARTS OFFICIALLY TODAY. REPORTING LIVE IN COVINGTON, STEVEN ALBRITTON WLWT NEWS FIVE. ALL RIGHT. DECADES IN THE MAKING. STEPHEN. THANK YOU. AT 649, WE DO HAVE BREAKING NEWS OVERNIGHT. SHOTS FIRED OUTSIDE OF THE KROGER IN QUARRYVILLE. AND WE KNOW AT LEAST ONE PERSON WAS HURT. THIS HAPPENED IN THE PARKING LOT SHORTLY BEFORE 11 P.M. POLICE SAY THAT THE PERSON WAS SHOT IN THE BUTTOCKS. THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER. POLICE BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN SELF-INFLICTED. THEY DID TAPE OFF THE FRONT OF THAT KROGER WHILE THEY INVESTIGATED. THE BUTLER COUNTY SHERIFF OFFERING A $5,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE ARREST OF SOMEONE AFTER SHOTS WERE FIRED NEAR AN AFTER PROM PARTY. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY AT A HOME ON GRANADA COURT IN LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, AND DOORBELL CAMERAS CAPTURED PEOPLE RUNNING FROM THAT HOUSE. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT INVESTIGATORS SAY THE PARTY WAS BEING HELD AT A SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROPERTY THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OPERATING IN THE FIRST PLACE. LIBERTY TOWNSHIP BANNED SHORT TERM RENTALS LAST SUMMER. OHIO GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE, NOW PREPARING TO APPOINT A NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVE YOST ANNOUNCED HE WILL STEP DOWN NEXT MONTH. YOST MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLINE, SAYING HE IS LEAVING FOR A NEW ROLE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. HE\u2019LL BECOME THE VICE PRESIDENT OF STRATEGIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FOR THE NONPROFIT LAW FIRM ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM. YOST DEPARTURE NOW SETS UP ANOTHER HIGH PROFILE APPOINTMENT FOR GOVERNOR. DEWINE, WHO WILL CHOOSE WHO TAKES OVER THE STATE\u2019S TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT POSITION UNTIL THE GENERAL ELECTION THIS FALL. IRAN LAUNCHING NEW STRIKES THURSDAY ON THREE NAVY SHIPS IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. NOW, THE U.S. MILITARY FOUGHT OFF THOSE ATTACKS AS THE TWO SIDES REPORTEDLY WORK TOWARD AN AGREEMENT TO END THE ALMOST NOW 11 WEEK WAR. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER, JOINING US LIVE FROM OUR WASHINGTON BUREAU. AND, RACHEL, HOW DOES THIS IMPACT THE CEASE FIRE RIGHT NOW? STILL A FRAGILE THING BETWEEN THE U.S. AND IRAN, KELLY. IT ABSOLUTELY IS. AND YESTERDAY, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP REASSURED REPORTERS THAT THE CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT IS STILL HOLDING DESPITE THIS RECENT ATTACK YESTERDAY BY IRAN. BUT HE ALSO NOTED THAT IT WILL BROKEN. THEY TRIFLED WITH US TODAY. WE BLEW THEM AWAY. THEY TRIFLED. I CALL THAT A TRIFLE. I\u2019LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THERE\u2019S NO CEASE. YOU WON\u2019T HAVE TO KNOW IF THERE\u2019S NO CEASE FIRE. YOU\u2019RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO KNOW. YOU\u2019RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT ONE BIG GLOW COMING OUT OF IRAN. SO THIS NEW VIDEO FROM IRANIAN STATE MEDIA REPORTEDLY SHOWS THE COUNTRY\u2019S ATTEMPT TO HIT NAVY SHIPS TRYING TO TRANSIT THE STRAIT. AND IN A PHONE CALL WITH ABC NEWS, THE PRESIDENT CALLED THE ATTACKS ON IRAN AFTER IT TARGETED U.S. DESTROYERS A, QUOTE, LOVE TAP, ADDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA WILL KNOCK THEM OUT A LOT HARDER AND A LOT MORE VIOLENTLY IN THE FUTURE IF THEY DON\u2019T GET THEIR DEAL SIGNED NOW. THE U.S. MILITARY CONFIRMED NO SHIPS WERE HIT IN THIS LATEST STRIKE. MEANWHILE, TEHRAN SAID IT\u2019S EXAMINING THE LATEST U.S. PROPOSALS TO END THE WAR, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THE CURRENT OFFER, WHICH HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED AS A ONE PAGE MEMORANDUM, BASICALLY SAYS IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. AND AXIOS IS ALSO REPORTING THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES LIFTING U.S. SANCTIONS AND OPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. NOW, KELLY, WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS ASKED YESTERDAY HOW CLOSE THE TWO SIDES ARE TO REACHING AN AGREEMENT, HE SAID IT COULD HAPPEN ANY DAY. WHILE QUICKLY NOTING IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AT ALL. AND RACHEL, TURNING NOW TO THE ECONOMY. SO WE ARE EXPECTING A NEW JOBS REPORT THIS MORNING. YEAH. AND ANALYSTS ARE PREDICTING THAT EMPLOYERS ADDED BETWEEN 65 AND 109,000 JOBS LAST MONTH, ABOUT 4% OF PEOPLE WHO WANT A JOB ARE LOOKING CAN\u2019T FIND ONE. AND ANALYSTS SAY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION\u2019S POLICIES ARE HAVING AN EFFECT. HIGHER SPENDING BY PEOPLE WHO GOT BIGGER TAX REFUNDS THIS YEAR UNDER NEW TAX POLICIES COULD BOOST HIRING. BUT CUTS TO MEDICAID AND PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE SUBSIDIES COULD HURT JOB CREATION IN THE HEALTH SECTOR, WHICH HAS BEEN DOMINANT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND ECONOMISTS SAY THAT ANY IMPACT FROM THE WAR IN IRAN SO FAR HAS NOT SHOWN UP ON A JOBS REPORT, AT LEAS\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
