FILE - Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson leaves the field at the end of the first half against the Chicago Bears in an NFL preseason football game, Aug. 27, 2022, in Cleveland. An attorney for the women who settled their lawsuits against Deshaun Watson says most of his clients have no interest in his return to Houston on Sunday. But Tony Buzbee, their attorney, says about 10 of the women who accused Watson of sexual harassment and assault during massages planned to attend Sunday’s game at Houston’s NRG Stadium when the Browns take on the Texans and watch him play in his return from an 11-game suspension.

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio (WJW) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s truck was one of multiple vehicles reportedly stolen from a luxury car dealership early Saturday morning.

The thefts took place just after 1 a.m., North Olmsted police Sgt. Matt Beck told FOX 8 News, with a total of five vehicles taken from Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted, including a Ram TRX pickup truck belonging to Watson.

The truck is valued at approximately $110,000, according to police, and Watson’s vehicle was there to be serviced. All of the other stolen cars were Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Watson’s vehicle was later found abandoned in a ditch at Interstate 480 and Clague Road, police said. Two other vehicles were recovered: one at I-480 and I-77 and the other on Minor Avenue in Cleveland. Two other vehicles have not yet been recovered.

Police say the thieves used the same method as other break-ins/thefts in the Cleveland area at other high end dealerships — they broke in, got the keys and drove away with the vehicles.

No further information has been released at this time.
