Suspect indicted in bus threat case

LEBANON - A Michigan man has been indicted by a Warren County grand jury after he allegedly brandished a small knife and threatened several people on a Greyhound bus on Interstate 75 in Franklin in December.

Richard P. Rock, 62, of Southfield, Mich., was indicted on a charge of disrupting public services, a felony, and a misdemeanor charge of inducing panic.

Rock was riding on the bus from Cincinnati to Detroit on Interstate 75 Dec. 8 when he allegedly produced a knife and threatened passengers and the driver, authorities said.

Mall car thief gets five years

A 22-year-old man who stole a woman's car in the parking garage of Tower Place Mall last October will spend the next five years in prison.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Charles Kubicki ordered the sentence for Robert Tompkins Monday on charges of robbery, receiving stolen property and impersonation of a private officer for the Oct. 21 incident.

Tompkins, seeing the victim could not find her car, told her he was an undercover hotel security officer and helped her locate it. Authorities say Tompkins asked the woman for a ride back down the ground floor, then demanded her keys and threatened to hurt her.

The victim escaped.

Tompkins was caught driving the car the following day in St. Bernard.
