Area fourth-grader shows integ
A local fourth-grader was honored Tuesday for his integrity.
Chad Roberts, 9, of Marysville found $70 six months ago while playing tag at a Marysville Vikings football game. He immediately turned the money over to officer Tom Cowhy.
Kids were saying 'keep it,' but I turned it in," Chad said.
The department kept the money for six months and, because nobody claimed it, gave the money to Chad.
He also received a civilian citation at a small ceremony Tuesday at Morton Elementary School in Marysville.

Lawyer claims Ohio police dog,
FOSTORIA, Ohio - The city's police chief and police dog have degrees from the same online school, according to a defence lawyer challenging the chief's authority.
The issue gives "one pause, if not paws, for concern" about what it takes to get a degree from the school, based in the Caribbean, Gene Murray wrote Monday in a motion seeking to have the dog introduced as evidence. Chief John McGuire and Rocko - listed as John I. Rocko on his diploma - are graduates of Concordia College and University, according to copies of diplomas that are part of Murray's motion.
Murray did not say how he knows the criminal justice degree is for the dog or how Rocko supposedly enrolled in the college.
No one immediately responded to an e-mail sent by The Associated Press to an address on the college's website, which did not appear to list a phone number.
Dean Henry, McGuire's lawyer, said the department had the dog before McGuire was hired.
"My client had absolutely nothing to do with any animal getting a degree from an institution of higher learning," Henry said. "The whole thing is bizarre."
Murray argues that a drug charge against his client should be dismissed because McGuire was not legally employed and had no authority as an officer.
McGuire, hired as chief in this northwest Ohio city a year ago, is to go on trial this month on charges of falsification and tampering with records. A special prosecutor said McGuire lied on his application and resume about his rank, position, duties, responsibilities and salary in three of his previous jobs.
City leaders have said McGuire's hiring was not influenced by his college degree, and any confusion about his background was resolved during interviews.
Prosecutor Ken Egbert said he will ask the judge to deny the request that Rocko appear in court.
"I don't think it's necessary to bring the actual dog," Egbert said.
