1. The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that the Cincinnati officer suing for defamation cannot remain anonymous. Cincinnati Police Officer Ryan Olthaus sued a group of citizens after accusing him of using a racist sign at a Cincinnati City Council meeting during the 2020 George Floyd protests. Originally, a local judge granted Olthaus anonymity with a sealed affidavit, but the state Supreme Court overturned that motion on Thursday. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
2. The Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra returns to the stage with music featuring two top jazz artists. The music will feature Chick Corea and McCoy Tyner with a premiere presentation on Good Morning Cincinnati. Tickets can be purchased on the Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra website.

3. The Cincinnati Police Department is seeking to identify two individuals who robbed a victim with a firearm on February 11.
