"What Happened Now?" is a lively roundup and analysis of the top stories of the day in Northeast Ohio from News 5's Joe Donatelli. It’s like getting the news from a friend who aspires to attend the Olympics of baking and grab a bite while he’s there.
Are any of these deadly police chases worth it? A Cleveland police officer didn't ask for permission for a chase that had deadly results for a father of six, reports Tara Morgan. That’s one of several findings by an investigator with the Office of Professional Standards and the Civilian Police Review Board. The officer gave unauthorized chase, police say, because of a minor traffic violation – the kind any of us has probably made. The driver then blew through a light, crashed and died. During a Civilian Police Review Board meeting on Oct. 14, the officer was found to have violated police policies by engaging in an unauthorized pursuit of Michael Yearout, failing to document a traffic stop, and failing to notify dispatch. It was also discovered that the officer did not turn on his body camera, not only during Yearout's traffic stop but also for four other incidents that day. Watch Tara Morgan’s report.

Tonight, in a special edition of News 5 at 7, Tara Morgan takes a hard look at the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Downtown Safety Patrol. A lot of work went into this – worth the watch.
