ZANESVILLE – An Oregon woman pleaded guilty to money laundering after a phishing scam impersonating a bank diverted more than $82,000 from an Ohio dispensary chain with a facility in this area. It reportedly led to more than $82,000 in fraudulent transactions in February, March and April. Several months later it led to the extradition of Arianna May Stark, 27, to the Muskingum County Jail. Stark appeared for a plea-change hearing in the Court of Common Pleas Nov. 4 and pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering, a third-degree felony. She was originally indicted on 22 charges in June, including one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony, one count of telecommunications fraud, a third-degree felony, one count of grand theft, a fourth-degree felony, and 19 counts of money laundering, all third-degree felonies.

Meadowbrook volleyball headed back to OHSSA Final Four after regional title

CAMBRIDGE — To the untrained eye, the Meadowbrook Colts make volleyball look effortless. But behind their nearly flawless sweeps and staggering postseason run lies a simple, sweat-soaked truth: perfection is just the byproduct of the amount of hard work that is put forth. Sweeping past Frankfort Adena (25-16, 25-21, 25-16) in the OHSAA Division V regional championship game on Saturday, November 7, the Meadowbrook Colts captured their second consecutive Final Four appearance, and their third in a remarkable seven-year run of reaching the OHSAA regionals. A record-breaking postseason run With the victory, the Colts improve to 25-1 overall and have now rattled off nine consecutive set wins during their current postseason surge−adding to a dominating performance where they dropped just four sets total during the regular season. Next up for Meadowbrook is an OHSAA State Semifinal matchup against Coldwater on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. at the Pam Evans Smith Arena on the campus of Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. Trusting the process While the Colts' play on the volleyball court can make their success look routine, veteran senior Kara Lauder knows the blueprint behind reaching that success.

Pickerington man gets year in prison for crash that killed cousin

A Pickerington man will spend one year in prison after admitting to his involvement in a fatal 2024 crash that killed his cousin . Xavier A. Gallegos, 22, pleaded guilty Oct. 22 to one count of aggravated vehicular homicide, court records show. Licking County prosecutors told The Advocate that Gallegos was speeding and recklessly crashed a vehicle into a utility pole and tree, and that the collision killed his passenger Donavin Rey Gallegos, 18. The single-vehicle crash happened around midnight on June 27, 2024, on Palmer Road in Etna Township, the Licking County Prosecutor’s Office said. Donavin Gallegos died at the scene, and first responders took Xavier to a hospital, prosecutors said. Xavier Gallegos' attorney, Phillip Templeton, didn't immediately respond to a call seeking comment. A Licking County grand jury indicted Xavier Gallegos in March 2026. Prosecutors told The Advocate there wasn’t evidence Xavier was impaired the night of the crash. Licking County Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas Marcelain also suspended Xavier’s driver’s license for three years, court records show. Donavin Gallegos’ obituary states that he turned 18 the day of the crash and was born in Columbus. "Whether he was in the classroom, on the game or at a

Amazing comeback fuels NC volleyball's return to the state tournament

ZANESVILLE ― After dominating the first set, Newark Catholic volleyball found itself on the short end of 17-5 and 18-6 scores in the second against a talented, versatile Meigs Eastern team. A Division VII regional championship sweep in Zanesville High School's Winland Memorial Gymnasium hardly seemed possible. If the defending Division VI state champs were going to return to Wright State, a lengthy battle seemed likely on Nov. 7. Until it wasn't. Playing a tough nonleague schedule, competing in the challenging Licking County League and facing adversity in demanding practices, the Green Wave (21-5) stormed back and completed the 25-15, 25-23, 25-23 victory that earned it a 2 p.m. state semifinal berth Nov. 12. They'll play second-ranked Fort Loramie (22-4) in Nutter Arena in their record 24th state appearance. "I had full faith in our team. I always do," senior hitter Leah Caudill said of the comeback. "Little by little, we turned on the switch and responded. We expected it. In practice, we work on coming back from deficits. We find ways to expose the other team, work to put our hitters in the best position. It was crazy the way we came back, but it was fun." Coach Katie
