Elyria Police arrested Donte Jamar Parker II on Friday when he was seen running near Riverside Drive and 11th Street after fleeing in handcuffs in February—his months-long evasion ended—and he is now held without bond at Lorain County Jail.

A year-long construction project to ease traffic at the busy intersection of Center (State Route 83) and Detroit Roads (State Route 254) in Avon will begin on Monday, July 21 with a right turn lane added in both directions and two left turn lanes to improve flow.
