ron reagan found it gives them a big head start. >> we found at least 1300 on the run, felons who might eventually be caught running a red light or worse, committing more crime. we found a significant loophole that is giving them a huge head start. >> joseph mcalister. >> it took officials nearly

>> a warrant for escape. >> it is those escape charges that triggered this. >> cuyahoga county deputies trained to track them down and capture them. >> off in the left corner he was spread out. he had the card board box under that bin. >> it included breaking and entering and drugs. >> heroin. >> and while they usually commit even more crime they allowed him to roam free for months. >> why is it decided to actually go out on the street

we have had good snows up into chardon and into curtland hills most snowfall. it could continue or the bands may shift a little bit. we'll watch it overnight. we'll have more tomorrow morning at 4:30. we'll have 25 in elyria. winds out of the north at 12 -- out of the west at 12. it feels like 9 in medina and 8 in mentor. the coldest air is yet to come. low pressure pulling in. it will continue but what's going to happen, the low pulls away and this arctic air here spills in beginning friday. thursday it will be chilly as
