Woman arrested, accused of stealing more than $51K from Kohl's stores
According to a news release from the Macedonia Police Department, officers responded to a report from the local Kohl's about a woman suspected of being connected to an "organized crime theft investigation."
When officers arrived at the scene, they spotted the woman browsing in the department store, but she later left the establishment without taking any items, police stated.
During their probe, Macedonia police learned that the woman has several active arrest warrants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Kohl's accused her of being tied to more than $51,000 in thefts from stores in both states last year, according to police.

The suspect was not identified in the news release, but a Macedonia police spokesperson identified the woman as Ashley Hoysack. Fox 8 and WOIO reported that officers conducted a traffic stop on Friday, June 27, as she tried to leave the parking lot and arrested her.
According to police, the back of her vehicle had an estimated $1500 worth of merchandise swiped from nearby stores.
The police spokesperson told USA TODAY that Hoysack was hit with felony charges including possession of criminal tools, engaging in a pattern of criminal behavior, and receiving stolen property. She is also facing misdemeanor charges.
Hoysack was released from jail on a medical furlough "due to an untreated medical issue" but had a June 30 court date.
Macedonia is a city about 24 miles from Cleveland.

UCLA reaches $6 million settlement with Jewish students and professor over campus protests
The University of California, Los Angeles, reached a $6 million settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor whose lawsuit against the university argued it violated their civil rights by allowing pro-Palestinian protesters in 2024 to block their access to classes and other areas on campus. The settlement comes nearly a year after a preliminary injunction was issued, marking the first time a U.S. judge had ruled against a university over their handling of on-campus demonstrations against Israel's war in Gaza. UCLA initially had argued that it had no legal responsibility over the issue because protesters, not the university, blocked Jewish students' access to areas. The university also worked with law enforcement to thwart attempts to set up new protest camps. But U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi disagreed and ordered UCLA to create a plan to protect Jewish students on campus. The University of California, one of the nation's largest public university systems, has since created systemwide campus guidelines on protests. How the university handled dispersing the encampment in the spring drew widespread criticism. One night, counterprotesters attacked the pro-Palestinian encampment, throwing traffic cones and firing pepper spray, with fighting that continued for hours, injuring more than a dozen people, before police stepped in. The next day, after hundreds defied orders to leave, more than 200 people were arrested. In March, the Trump administration joined the lawsuit filed by the Jewish students and Jewish professor as it opened new investigations into allegations of antisemitism at Columbia University; the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Minnesota; Northwestern University and Portland State University. Last week, Columbia agreed to pay $200 million as part of a settlement to resolve investigations into alleged violations of federal antidiscrimination laws and restore more than $400 million in research grants. The Trump administration plans to use its deal with Columbia as a template for other universities, with financial penalties that are now seen as an expectation for future agreements. On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division found UCLA violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 'by acting with deliberate indifference in creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students.' 'UCLA failed to take timely and appropriate action in response to credible claims of harm and hostility on its campus,' said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. The university has said that it's committed to campus safety and will continue to implement recommendations. "Today's settlement reflects a critically important goal that we share with the plaintiffs: to foster a safe, secure and inclusive environment for all members of our community and ensure that there is no room for antisemitism anywhere on campus,' University of California Board of Regents Chair Janet Reilly said in a statement. As part of the settlement agreement, UCLA must ensure Jewish students, faculty and staff are not excluded from anything on-campus. The $6.13 million settlement will pay the plaintiffs' damages and legal fees. About $2.3 million will go to eight organizations that combat antisemitism, the university said. A group of 35 pro-Palestinian students, faculty members, legal observers, journalists and activists also has filed a lawsuit against UCLA, alleging the university failed to protect those who participated in the demonstrations. Some Jewish students have also taken part in protests on campuses around the country against Israel's war in Gaza.

DOJ says UCLA violated civil rights law with ‘indifference' towards protecting Jewish and Israeli students
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Tuesday the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) violated civil rights laws by acting with 'indifference' towards attacks on Israeli and Jewish students. In a press release, the DOJ said that its Civil Rights Division on Tuesday 'announced that the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by acting with deliberate indifference in creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students.' 'Our investigation into the University of California system has found concerning evidence of systemic anti-Semitism at UCLA that demands severe accountability from the institution,' Attorney General Pam Bondi said in the release. 'This disgusting breach of civil rights against students will not stand: DOJ will force UCLA to pay a heavy price for putting Jewish Americans at risk and continue our ongoing investigations into other campuses in the UC system,' she added. The Hill has reached out to UCLA and the UC system for comment. UCLA recently agreed to pay over $6 million in a consent agreement in the wake of Jewish faculty and students bringing an antisemitism lawsuit against the university due to its handling of pro-Palestinian campus demonstrations. Last year, pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses erupted across the U.S. over Israel's war in Gaza. Protestors faced accusations of antisemitism amid an already heated political climate on the issue of Israel and Palestine as the war in Gaza raged on. The leading international authority on food crisis said Tuesday via an alert that the worst-case scenario of famine was occurring in the Gaza Strip, with death and destruction of infrastructure also widespread in the territory.
