Girl Scout cookies take

Missing out on Thin Mints in the pandemic?
A Google afﬁliate is using drones to deliver Girl

The town of Christiansburg has been a testing
ground for commercial delivery drones operated
by Wing, a subsidiary of Google’s corporate parent
Alphabet.
Now the company is adding the iconic boxed
cookies to the more mundane drugstore offerings,
FedEx packages and locally-made pastries, tacos
and cold brew coffees it’s been hauling to a thinly
populated area of residential subdivisions since
2019.

High court sides with GOP boss over Ohio elections chief
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The
state’s high court has ruled Ohio
Secretary of State Frank LaRose
abused his discretion in blocking
the reappointment of a powerful
fellow Republican to a county elections board.
In a decision late Tuesday, justices sided with the Summit County Republican Party in its dispute
with LaRose over his decision not
to reappoint long-time chair Bryan
Williams to the bipartisan panel
that oversees elections.
The GOP alleged LaRose’s decision relied on “inaccurate and

incomplete facts” and that he
sought to exact political retribution
against Williams, the party chair
in his home county. LaRose argued
that a shake-up in board culture
was needed as a result of election
administration issues in 2020.
LaRose had cited a similar
decision by his predecessor as
secretary of state, Republican Lt.
Gov. Jon Husted, to remove two
members from the Lucas County
Board of Elections — one for personal misconduct, one for broader
reasons of board performance.
The Supreme Court said both

men potentially had authority
to remove someone for reasons
beyond personal conduct, but that
LaRose’s decision on Williams
relied on anonymous information
that his case failed to prove as
fact.
“For this reason, it is an abuse
of discretion for a secretary of
state to reject a recommendation
based on rumors or suspicion,”
they wrote. “An accusation without
proof, anonymous or not, is not a
reasonable nor reliable basis for
rejecting a county executive committee’s recommendation.”

A New York City Police officer talks to the doorman of
the building where Rudy Giuliani lives Wednesday in New
York. A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press
that federal investigators have executed search warrants at
Giuliani’s Manhattan residence and office. The former New
York City mayor has been under investigation for several years
over his business dealings in Ukraine.

AP sources: Feds
search Giuliani’s
NYC home, office
NEW YORK (AP)
— Federal agents
raided Rudy Giuliani’s
Manhattan home and
ofﬁce on Wednesday,
seizing computers and
cellphones in a major
escalation of the Justice
Department’s investigation into the business
dealings of former President Donald Trump’s
personal lawyer.
Giuliani, the 76-yearold former New York
City mayor once celebrated for his leadership
in the aftermath of the
9/11 attacks, has been
under federal scrutiny
for several years over
his ties to Ukraine. The
dual searches sent the
strongest signal yet that
he could eventually face
federal charges.
Agents searched
Giuliani’s home on
Madison Avenue and
his ofﬁce on Park
Avenue, people familiar
with the investigation
told The Associated
Press. The warrants,
requiring approval from
the top levels of the
Justice Department,
signify prosecutors
believe they have probable cause that Giuliani
committed a federal
crime — though they
don’t guarantee charges
will materialize.
A third search warrant was served on a
phone belonging to
Washington lawyer
Victoria Toensing, a
former federal prosecutor and close ally of
Giuliani and Trump.
Her law ﬁrm issued a
statement saying she
was informed that she
is not a target of the
investigation.
The full scope of the
investigation is unclear,
but it at least partly
involves Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, law
enforcement ofﬁcials
have told the AP.
The people discuss-

ing the searches and
Wednesday’s developments could not do so
publicly and spoke to
the AP on condition
of anonymity. News
of the search was ﬁrst
reported by The New
York Times.
In a statement
released through his
lawyer, Giuliani accused
federal authorities
of a “corrupt double
standard,” invoking
allegations he’s pushed
against prominent Democrats, and said that
the Justice Department
was “running rough
shod over the constitutional rights of anyone
involved in, or legally
defending, former President Donald J. Trump.”
“Mr. Giuliani respects
the law, and he can
demonstrate that his
conduct as a lawyer and
a citizen was absolutely
legal and ethical,” the
statement said.
A Justice Department
spokesperson did not
immediately respond to
a request for comment.
The U.S. Attorney’s
ofﬁce in Manhattan
and the FBI’s New York
ofﬁce declined to comment Wednesday.
The federal probe
into Giuliani’s Ukraine
dealings stalled last
year because of a
dispute over investigative tactics as Trump
unsuccessfully sought
a second term. Giuliani
subsequently took on a
leading role in disputing
the election results on
the Republican’s behalf.
Wednesday’s raids
came months after
Trump left ofﬁce and
lost his ability to pardon
allies for federal crimes.
The former president
himself no longer enjoys
the legal protections the
Oval Ofﬁce once provided him — though there
is no indication Trump
is eyed in this probe.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — The University of
Rio Grande clubbed three home runs to fuel an
opening game win, while hitting two more circuit clouts in the nightcap to fuel a doubleheader
sweep of Shawnee State University on Tuesday
in non-conference action at Portsmouth High
School’s Trojan Field.

home run to left-center.
Junior Kenzie Cremers (Ironton, OH) followed
with a solo homer to left to make it 4-0 before
senior Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) was hit by a
pitch and junior Zoe Doll (Minford, OH) reached
on a single to signal the end of the day for Shawnee State starter Sydney Spence.
SSU reliever Madison Sifford came on to retire
each of the next two batters before freshman Lexi
Carnahan (Felicity, OH) hammered a long home
run to left to make it 7-0.
The RedStorm ﬁnished the scoring in the top of

Columbus mayor requests federal probe Investigation being
conducted into
disappearance
of Amesville teen

By Farnoush Amiri and
Andrew Welsh-Huggins
Report for America/
Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
There should be a federal
investigation into the
fatal shooting of Ma’Khia
Bryant by a Columbus
police ofﬁcer, along with
a probe into the handling
of Bryant’s foster care
placement, a lawyer representing the teen’s family said Wednesday.
Attorney Michelle
Martin wouldn’t discuss
details of why Bryant was in foster care,
besides the fact that
at the time, the family
needed help. But she
added that Bryant was in
the system for too long.
Bryant “was a 16-yearold vibrant, bubbly girl,
whose life was cut short
by many of our failing
systems,” Martin told
reporters Wednesday.
“We are going to investigate every agency that
had the time and the
opportunity to prevent
Ma’Khia’s death.”
In addition to a federal
probe, Martin wants an
investigation of Ohio’s
health and human services agency, which oversees
the foster care system.
Bryant’s father, Myron
Hammonds, and her
paternal grandmother,
Jeanene Hammonds,
were present at the conference and spoke about
the pain of losing the
teenager.
