Oregon woman pleads guilty in $82K phishing scam targeting Ohio dispensary

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.

West M boys soccer makes history with shootout win in regional final

LOGAN — West Muskingum's quest for its first state tournament berth came down to something that gets Bryce Stant frothing at the mouth. Penalty kicks. While most goalkeepers — and coaches, for that matter — prefer to avoid the game-deciding situation that comes with the territory of a shootout, West Muskingum's senior lives for them. And for that, the Tornadoes are thankful. Stant made a key save in the 1-on-1 situation, and a key Wheelersburg misfire soon after allowed Austin Fink to connect with the game-winner, sending West to a historic 3-2 win in a Division IV regional final on a sun-splashed afternoon on Nov. 8 at Logan High School's Chieftain Stadium. The Tornadoes (17-2-3), in their first regional final in program history, became just the second Muskingum Valley League team to reach the Final Four. River View, under legendary coach Vince Andrews, won the D-IV state title in 2024, defeating Worthington Christian in the final at Historic Crew Stadium.
