Among the arrested were: Douglas l. Wright, 26, Brandon L. Baxter, 20, and Anthony Wayne, 35,

They named a recreation area on the Palisades Interstate Parkway after that last guy.

History - Anthony Wayne
Anthony Wayne was an important American military leader during and after the American Revolution.
Snip...He earned the nickname "Mad" Anthony Wayne because of his impulsive actions on the battlefield.
Snip...To ease their fears, the natives' British allies constructed Fort Miamis on the Maumee River. (bridge named after him...see above) During 1794, Wayne moved against the Indians, who were commanded by Blue Jacket. On August 20, 1794, the two forces met at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, so named because the Indians used trees knocked down by a tornado for cover.
