Good morning, Kent.

Main Street Kent will host its first 'Talk of the Town' walking tour at 11 a.m. May 17 along a 1.25-mile route that starts at the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center, goes past part of the Portage Hike and Bike Trail with a stop at The KENT Sign, and ends at Acorn Alley. The free tour is wheelchair accessible — it will continue on June 21, July 19, and Aug. 16 and offers a look at local shops, restaurants, art, and history.

On May 7, Portage deputies stopped Akron man Reginald L.

Jones in Brimfield Township for an equipment violation and, after his inconsistent story led to a search that found nearly a pound of suspected meth along with fentanyl and cocaine, he was indicted on multiple felony and misdemeanor drug charges — his arraignment on May 12 resulted in a $750,000 bond — further details of the case are pending.

A Portage County grand jury indicted Richard J.

Lewis, 42—of Euclid on charges of failing to obey a police order, obstructing official business, and resisting arrest after he fled an equipment violation stop and crashed his vehicle in Mantua on May 12.
