Relatives found Michael J. Leatherberry, 50, and Teresa R. Stewart 44, of Wadsworth, at Leatherberry's Reimer Road home after they failed to show up at a family function, according to Norton police and the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.

Stewart and Leatherberry were in a large garage that had been converted to living space, according to a police news release. Officials suspect a problem with a heating source, the medical examiner's office said.

A high school principal has accepted responsibility for questionable work-study credits given to a member of the school's football team that kept him eligible to play, and she will leave the school district next year.

The controversy led the football team in the Cleveland suburb of Brooklyn to forfeit four wins -- its only victories of the season and the first in two years.

Gretchen Derethik, 51, who has been principal of Brooklyn High School since 1998, will remain on sick leave until her contract expires in July, according to an agreement with the school district.

The school gave the player retroactive work-study credit for an after-school fast-food job, Lampert said. But the student was not registered for a work-study program.

The Ohio High School Athletic Association began an investigation after getting an anonymous letter in September accusing Derethik of fixing grades to keep players eligible.

A judge put a Franklin County Jail inmate on probation for three years and fined her $500 for trying to escape by clinging to the underside of a bus.

Mari Ann Morrisey, 40, of Pickerington, admitted that on July 11, she slid under a bus that would have taken her and other inmates back to jail after a court appearance. She had appeared that day in Municipal Court on two misdemeanor traffic charges.

Morrisey hung onto the bus's undercarriage for about one block before dropping to the street. She was captured immediately by a man who saw her fall.

Defense attorney William Meeks told Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Patrick Sheeran on Wednesday that Morrisey acted impulsively, but Sheeran called the escape attempt senseless.

The civil-rights suit alleges the officers failed to pursue allegations against other suspects and planted a glove with 11-year-old Shakira Johnson's DNA on it in Daniel Hines' basement.

A Cuyahoga County jury acquitted Hines last December of Johnson's murder. The lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday, says the 27-year-old learning-disabled handyman's life is still in shambles.

Cleveland Law Director Teresa Beasley said the allegations in the lawsuit are absurd. She said the city and officers Jeffrey Sampson, Tim Entonek, Daniel Rawley and Terry Preston would file a formal response in court.

Johnson disappeared from a block party Sept. 13, 2003. Residents and authorities united in the search, activists held rallies and the story appeared on the television program America's Most Wanted.

Police and prosecutors said Johnson most likely was killed Sept. 15, her body hidden in a plastic trash bag until she was found in a field Oct. 15.
