Good morning, Marion County. Shattered glass glitters across Columbus' east side as residents face a third wave of car break-ins this week. The vandalism spree has left families like Rhonda Petway's dealing with damaged vehicles and safety concerns, despite nothing being stolen. The emotional toll weighs heavily as parents worry about their children encountering broken glass, while authorities face mounting pressure to address this destructive pattern before someone gets hurt.
Meanwhile, a troubling case unfolds within Columbus City Schools where assistant principal Marcia Davis faces felony charges for allegedly protecting her husband from rape accusations. As Michael Davis' trial begins Monday, the community is processing these disturbing allegations. On a sweeter note, Clintonville residents can find weekend comfort at the newly opened Rose Dough Donuts, where Katie Passo's pink-and-green shop offers brioche, old-fashioned, and French cruller varieties until the Sunday afternoon sellout.
