String of arsons break out minutes apart in Akron

Grant Street arson fire, Akron

AKRON, OH (WOIO)- Three more vacant houses burn at the hands of an arsonist in an Akron neighborhood already ravaged by other arsons, abandoned homes and murders.

It appears the work of the same arsonist. 

At 11:05 p.m. Wednesday, crews responded to a house fire on 1192 Grant Street. Seven minutes later, they responded to a call at 1090 Grant Street. Firefighters then received a third call for a house fire located at 1134 Grant Street at 2:45 a.m.

Fire officials say they are all arsons, that some kind of liquid was used to fuel the fires, but they aren't sure what. 

Fortunately, no one was injured, but neighbors and long-time residents are uneasy.

For now there are no suspects, Akron Fire Investigators urge anyone with information to call 330-375-2214 before someone is seriously hurt or killed.

Akron attorney suspended after allegedly asking clients for sexual favors

AKRON, OH (WOIO)- The Supreme Court of Ohio has suspended the law license of Akron attorney William J. Detweiler for one year for repeatedly soliciting a client for sexual favors, and continuing to represent that client in an ongoing case despite the risk that his own personal interests conflicted with those of the client.

Detweiler allegedly engaged in professional misconduct by sending a woman he was representing in a divorce action a series of increasingly sexual text messages over a period of several months, ultimately including a nude photo of his lower body and a request that she engage in oral sex with him.

The client, who never engaged in sex with Detweiler or even met with him socially, stated in a grievance filed with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel that she felt "completely trapped" and unable to terminate her client-attorney relationship with Detweiler because she had already paid him more than $10,000 in legal fees and could not afford to hire a new attorney.

In response to the client's grievance, Detweiler stipulated that he had engaged in conduct that adversely reflects on his fitness to practice law, continued to represent a client despite the risk that his personal interests would limit his ability to act appropriately on her behalf, and solicited sexual activity with a client when there had been no consensual sexual relationship with that person prior to the attorney-client relationship.
