| Woman Held On Drug Charges
EAST HARTFORD -- A local woman is being held on $250,000 bond after her arraignment in Superior Court in Manchester today on a litany of drug and motor vehicle charges.
Ronnette Perry, 38, was arrested Thursday, a week after police first visited her house on Colt Street on a domestic dispute call, officials said. During that visit, police noticed her Ford Explorer had license plates that didn't belong on it, told her that she had a suspended license and shouldn't be driving, officials said.

Prairie High mascot suit flies the coop
When the Prairie High School girls and boys met for district basketball playoffs with other teams Thursday night, 17-year-old Jeremy Kenney had planned to perform as Prairie's mascot, the falcon. Crawling inside the 6-foot-tall maroon and gold suit, with its weight-lifter's muscles and curving talons, he planned to pump up the crowd and cheer on his teams. But a car prowler made that impossible. About 2 a.m. Saturday, Kenney returned to his green 1994 Ford Explorer, which he'd parked in a Trader Joe's lot on Glisan Street in Northwest Portland while visiting a friend who lives nearby. Someone had gotten into the locked SUV, possibly with a slim jim tool, since the windows were intact. The thief or thieves made off with the falcon suit, school property worth about $2,500.
King Hill accident victim 'fair'
COLUMBUS -- A Steubenville man injured Feb. 19 in a one-vehicle accident on U.S. 22 was upgraded to "fair" condition Friday at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus. Patrick C. Cowser, 65, was injured when his 2001 Ford Explorer went off the roadway at King Hill and struck two trees, trapping the driver inside due to the heavy damage. Cowser was extricated from the wreckage by mechanical means and taken to Southeastern Med by Antrim EMS. He was then flown to Riverside by medical helicopter.
Bill would give Ford a break for Louisville investment
Ford Motor Co. could receive lucrative tax breaks if it agrees to invest at least $100 million in its Louisville assembly plants under a bill approved this evening by the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee. House Bill 536 would also provide Ford with a $10 million training grant, which economic-development officials said is necessary to retrain workers as the company reduces its work force. "We feel like this is very important to keep Ford viable in the short term," said Gene Fuqua, acting secretary of the Cabinet for Economic Development. Ford employs about 8,000 workers in Louisville at two plants that produce the Ford Explorer sport-utility vehicle and the Ford F-150 Super Duty truck. "I hope that the message is clear that we really want to work with you," Democratic Rep.
Weekend storm begins wreaking havoc
A 52-year-old man's vehicle broke through the ice Saturday morning on Lake Winnebago, adding to a slew of accidents overnight that were a result of a winter storm making its way across the area. Michael Piller's 1995 Ford Explorer broke through a crack in the ice shortly after 6 a.m., said Sgt. Bill Anthes of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department. Piller, who made it out of the vehicle before it sunk in 20 feet of water, was able to escape and get a ride back to shore unharmed. His vehicle, however, is a loss. Piller must make arrangements for the SUV to be removed from the lake, Anthes said. A winter storm bore down on Wisconsin starting Friday night that meteorologists said would last through the weekend and potentially dump 27 inches of snow or more in parts of the state.
