Broken: A mother told deputies her 13-year-old daughter was at a Wintersville apartment complex with a “grown male” and they’d “better get out there and do something about it,” Saturday. The woman was volatile and gave them the wrong location and misidentified the man several times before deputies located the girl, who was with a 17-year-old. The boy’s parents said she told them she was 16 and her mom said she could spend the night. The girl told police she couldn’t take her mother “doing drugs and being abusive all the time” and didn’t want to be home with her. Deputies told the boy’s parents that it’s generally a good idea to check with the other parents because kids don’t always tell the truth.

Falling down drunk: A 911 caller from the Bergholz area said his wife had been drinking and fell, hitting her head, Friday. Dispatchers heard the woman say she was fine but “then a verbal argument broke out and the line went dead.” Deputies said when they went to the home to speak with her, she had no injuries and told them “She started drinking after work (that) morning and got drunk and fell,” but refused medical attention.

Belly bumps: A Toronto area couple had different takes on an argument that the wife said escalated into a shoving match “with their bellies,” Friday. The female said her husband also grabbed her around the waste and showed them a video, but deputies said it only showed them arguing. Her husband said they’d been married for more than 30 years and never had to call police, but they started arguing about “people coming to their door to see them solar panels.” He said it didn’t amount to anything more than arguing. She offered to leave for the evening.

Had enough: A Wintersville woman said her roommate was drunk and arguing with her “and she cannot take it anymore,” Friday. He was sitting on the porch when deputies arrived and told them the two of them “did not agree on … the cleanliness of the apartment.” The two of them agreed to keep their distance for the rest of the night “and agreed … they would not speak any further regarding issues about the cleanliness of the apartment.”

Rocky road: Neighbors were concerned about a man who was allegedly driving “out of control through his yard, running over things,” Saturday. The caller said he appeared to be “intoxicated and not acting right.” Deputies said the vehicle was in the man’s driveway when they arrived but the driver’s side was damaged, the wheel was under the car and car parts were strewn in the driveway. He told deputies he’d driven to his mailbox and back and wasn’t sure how the car got damaged but a deputy checked the road he lived on and discovered parts to his vehicle in a ditch.

14-year-old brains: A juvenile wasn’t where she said she was going to me so deputies had to go looking for her, Monday. Deputies said they found her hiding under a blanket in a friend’s closet in Mingo Junction after the boy and another friend had insisted, she wasn’t there. The boy’s mother offered to check her security cameras but when she discovered they’d been unplugged she told them they could check the house. When they entered the boy’s room, they saw a computer pushed against the closet door and said he told them he “never goes in the closet,” but eventually moved it. Deputies said the girl told them she “was unhappy with the rules at her residence and didn’t want to go home.”

Winging it: A Mingo Junction woman complained her neighbors had been mauled by a dog, but didn’t know who the neighbors were, who owned the dog, when or where the alleged mauling took place or what kind of dog did the mauling.
