Busted

Robert L. Bauer, 42, of Cuyahoga Falls, was hit with a pair of felonies on May 4 after police found heroin, cocaine, a burnt spoon and syringes in his car during a routine traffic stop, according to a police report. 

Bauer was charged with drug possession, a fifth-degree felony; drunken driving, a first-degree misdemeanor; and drug abuse instruments, a second-degree misdemeanor.

He was also cited for an open container, traffic violations and drug paraphernalia. 

Hard lesson

A 35-year-old Canton man learned the hard way never to leave property in an unlocked gym locker.

While the man worked out at the Riverfront Family YMCA on May 4, a thief opened his locker, stole his keys, entered his car and swiped his cash and credit card.

The thief then went on a $2,300 spending spree. 

There are no leads or suspects.
