A teenager who snatched a 13-year-old girl off Given Road in Indian Hill last summer and slit her throat, nearly killing her, will spend the next 10 years in prison.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Steve Martin on Monday sentenced Benjamin White, 18, of Indian Hill, on charges of attempted murder and felonious assault for the July attack.

Martin said once White, who has been diagnosed with a mental illness, is released from prison, he must spend the next five years on an intense probation that includes seeking psychiatric treatment and drug testing three times a week.

Bad gauge leads to emergency landing

A Comair flight from Milwaukee had to make an emergency landing Monday at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport because of an apparent faulty indicator light.

Flight 5226 was already scheduled to land at the Cincinnati airport Monday morning, but the crew underwent emergency landing procedures when a light showed the possible presence of smoke in the cargo hold. The plane landed away from the terminal, and the 34 passengers were unloaded onto buses and taken to the terminal. No one was injured, and a search by airport fire personnel found no smoke.

The faulty instruments were replaced and the plane was placed back in service.
