Date/Time of Occurrence: 06/10/2026 at approximately 2344 hours

Suspect: Heather Louise Harless (DOB: 1981)

Charges:
Attempted Felonious Assault (F-2), OVI, OVI Prohibited Breath Concentration (.08 or Greater), Reckless Operation on Private Property

On 06/10/2026 at approximately 2344 hours, I was dispatched regarding a disturbance involving a female reportedly attempting to run over another female with a motor vehicle. Dispatch advised the caller reported that a red passenger vehicle with a blue LED light in the front had attempted to run her over. The caller was identified.

Upon arrival, I made contact with victim, who appeared visibly upset and reported that she had been involved in an ongoing argument through social media and telephone communications with subjects. Victim stated subject had repeatedly attempted to provoke her into a physical altercation. Victim advised that subject's mother, Heather Louise Harless, drove Wooten from Canton, Ohio, to victim's residence for the purpose of facilitating the fight.

Victim provided a written statement advising that she observed Harless' vehicle repeatedly circling her residence. victim stated she eventually exited the residence after learning the group remained outside. Victim reported Harless and the occupants initially acted as though they were parking and getting out of the vehicle. victim stated Harless then accelerated directly toward her and attempted to strike her with the vehicle multiple times. Victim reported running from the vehicle through the area in front of residences and utility poles while Harless actively pursued her. Victim stated she was ultimately forced to jump over a chain-link fence to avoid being struck. Victim indicated she feared for her life and denied threatening Harless at any point during the encounter.

During the investigation, video evidence was reviewed on victims phone. The footage corroborated Victim's account and depicted the vehicle operating in a reckless manner through the area of 335 S. Haines Avenue and the adjacent school parking lot. The video showed the vehicle driving over a tree lawn and private property while actively pursuing victim. Victim narrowly avoided being hit by the vehicle.

Responding Officers subsequently located Harless and the suspect vehicle at B&K Emporium, 546 S. Union Avenue, Alliance, Ohio. After completing my interview with victim I responded to B&K and took custody of Harless who was already detained and secured in car #41.

Upon contact, Harless admitted that subject, had been arguing online with victim and had convinced Harless to drive her from Canton to Alliance so subject could fight victim. Harless stated that upon arriving at 335 S. Haines Avenue, subject exited the vehicle and victim was standing outside. Harless alleged that victim then produced bear spray and sprayed subject. Harless stated she exited the vehicle to assist her daughter back into the car and that victim also sprayed her with the bear spray. Harless advised that being sprayed "pissed her off," and admitted that this anger was the reason she attempted to run victim over with the vehicle.

OVI INVESTIGATION:
________________________________________________________________
During contact with Harless, I observed indicators consistent with impairment. Harless had bloodshot glassy eyes and when she spoke a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage emitted from her breath. Harless admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages and smoking marijuana prior to operating the vehicle. Harless stated she had consumed wine and had smoked marijuana earlier in the evening.

Harless was placed under arrest without incident for the Attempted Felonious Assault and transported to the Alliance Police Department for processing. Upon arrival to the sallyport I advised Harless that I was going to run her through a series of field sobriety tests.

The test was conducted in the lighted sally port on a smooth, level, and clean concrete surface clear of debris and an expansion joint was used for the test steps. Harless was asked if there was anything that would prevent her from walking a straight line and she stated no.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus: (Harless stated she was wearing contacts) Both eyes tracked properly and both pupils appeared equal in size. Harless showed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Harless had distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation with no white showing in both eyes.

Walk and Turn:
Harless was placed into the starting position and lost her balance and broke her feet apart. Harless was placed back into the starting position and started the test before being told to do so. I gave verbal instructions to Harless and then demonstrated the test. Harless stated she understood the instructions and had no questions. Harless started the test and did not count out load as instructed. Harless stepped off the line on step 6. Harless completed her first set of steps, lost her balance stepped off the line, started her second set of steps, stepped off the line on steps 3,4,5,6, Harless did not count out loud. Harless completed the test and stated she failed the test.

One Leg Stand:
Harless was instructed into the starting position and was explained and demonstrated the test. Harless started the test and dropped her foot three times.

Harless was brought into the jail where she was shown and read the BMV2255 form. After a twenty minute observation period Harless provided a breath and urine sample. The urine was submitted into evidence for testing.

Officer Hook, an Ohio Department of Health certified operator, conducted an evidential breath alcohol test utilizing BAC Datamaster instrument serial number 80-004368 following the required observation period. Harless was first observed at 2359 hours, and the test was administered at 0056 hours on 06/11/2026.

Harless provided two valid breath samples which yielded results of 0.093 g/210L and 0.104 g/210L. The instrument reported an official evidential breath alcohol concentration of 0.093 g/210L. Diagnostic checks, air blanks, and dry gas control checks were within acceptable limits, indicating the instrument was functioning properly at the time of testing. Harless was placed under Administrative License Suspension, and her Ohio driver's license was seized.

END OF OVI INVESTIGATION
________________________________________________________________________________
Based upon Baker's written and verbal statements, witness accounts, video evidence depicting Harless intentionally pursuing victim with a motor vehicle, Harless' admissions that she transported her daughter to Alliance to facilitate a fight and intentionally attempted to run victim over because she was angry after being "BEAR" sprayed, her admissions regarding alcohol and marijuana consumption, the indicators of impairment observed by officers, and the chemical breath test results, officers had probable cause to believe Harless purposely engaged in conduct which, if successful, would have knowingly caused serious physical harm to A'Kaia Samara Marie Baker by means of a deadly weapon, to wit: A motor vehicle.

Heather Louise Harless was charged with:
Attempted Felonious Assault, in violation of ORC 2923.02/2903.11(A)(2);

Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol and/or Drugs, in violation of ORC 4511.19(A)(1)(a);

Operating a Vehicle with a Prohibited Breath Alcohol Concentration of .08 or Greater, in violation of ORC 4511.19(A)(1)(d); and 4511.19(A)(1)(e) and;

Reckless Operation on Private Property, in violation of ORC 4511.20.

Harless was booked into the Alliance Police Department Jail and subsequently transported to the Stark County Jail pending her appearance before the Alliance Municipal Court.

All written statements, Datamaster records, BMV forms, LEADS returns, call records, were preserved and submitted as evidence as part of this investigation.

Harless' vehicle was towed from the scene and impounded by Mels towing. REF: 2600246

Note: Harless is on parole for Involuntary Manslaughter and was recently released in 2025 after serving 5 years.

ARRESTED: SARAH WUTRICK(39)
E COLUMBIA ALLIANCE

Charge : 2913.02 THEFT-SHOPLIFTING M1

On June 8, 2026, at approximately 1500 hours, I was dispatched to Giant Eagle, located at 1800 W. State St., Alliance, Ohio, regarding a suspicious female in the restroom who appeared to be under the influence of narcotics.

Upon arrival, I made contact with Sarah Ashley Wutrick (DOB: 08-26-1986) inside the female restroom. Wutrick was actively picking at her face, and blood was observed throughout the restroom area. Wutrick appeared disheveled and exhibited behavior consistent with possible narcotic use.

During my investigation, I observed that Wutrick was in possession of a personal bag containing a large quantity of unpaid merchandise belonging to Giant Eagle. I also located two BuzzBall alcoholic beverages concealed inside Wutrick's hoodie. Giant Eagle personnel provided documentation and a receipt detailing the concealed merchandise.

The concealed merchandise consisted primarily of cosmetic, beauty, and personal care products, including multiple lip glosses, lip oils, facial serums, makeup products, eye palettes, mascara, foundation, hair care products, Olaplex hair treatment products, Biore skincare products, oral hygiene items, hair accessories, a body puff, and other assorted cosmetic and personal grooming products.

Additionally, the investigation revealed Wutrick had concealed four BuzzBallz Grapeness alcoholic beverages, all of which were age-restricted items. Giant Eagle personnel documented the total retail value of the concealed merchandise at $700.73. All merchandise was recovered prior to Wutrick exiting the store and was subsequently returned to Giant Eagle management.

When questioned regarding the merchandise, Wutrick stated her boyfriend was on his way to Giant Eagle to pay for the items and claimed she had placed the merchandise in her personal bag because no shopping carts were available for use. In an effort to verify her statement, I contacted Wutrick's boyfriend by telephone. He advised that he was currently at work in Munroe Falls, Ohio, and had no intention of coming to Giant Eagle to pay for any merchandise. His statement directly contradicted Wutrick's explanation.

Based upon the totality of the circumstances, including Wutrick's concealment of merchandise within her personal bag and clothing, the concealment of alcoholic beverages on her person, the value of the unpaid merchandise totaling $700.73, and her false statement regarding payment arrangements, I determined probable cause existed to charge Wutrick with Theft in violation of O.R.C. 2913.02. Wutrick was placed under arrest and advised of her Miranda Rights. Wutrick stated she understood her rights.

A computerized criminal history check was conducted on Wutrick. The check revealed a prior conviction for Theft, a misdemeanor of the first degree, through Mahoning County Court #3 in Sebring, Ohio, stemming from a 2025 theft offense. Records further indicated Wutrick was arrested on April 2, 2026, by Smith Township Police Department for a parole violation related to that theft conviction. Additional criminal history included prior arrests for Theft, Failure to Comply with the Order or Signal of a Police Officer, Complicity to Theft, Possession of Drugs, Tampering with Evidence, and Possessing Drug Abuse Instruments. This information was documented as part of the investigation and charging process.


Due to Wutrick's apparent physical condition and behavior, she was transported to Aultman Alliance Hospital for medical evaluation and clearance. After being medically cleared by hospital staff, Wutrick was transported to the Alliance Police Department Jail, where she was processed and charged with Theft, a misdemeanor of the first degree, in violation of O.R.C. 2913.02.

Wutrick was issued a summons to appear before the Alliance Municipal Court on June 12, 2026, at 1300 hours. A copy of the receipt documenting the concealed merchandise was collected and attached to this report as evidence. Giant Eagle management requested that Wutrick be formally trespassed from the property, and a trespass warning was issued accordingly.

On 06/02/2026, at approximately 1632 hours, I was traveling southbound on S. Arch Ave. near Milner St. when I observed a red 2022 Dodge Charger bearing Ohio registration KUT3001. The vehicle’s license plate was improperly displayed behind the rear windshield on the back seat.

I conducted a LEADS check on the registration to verify the vehicle and plate match. The return indicated that the registered owner had an active warrant out of Cuyahoga County. Based on this information, I initiated a traffic stop.

Upon making contact with the driver, she was later identified as Raasheda Hill. Hill was not the registered owner of the vehicle. During the stop, Hill knowingly provided officers—who were acting in their official capacity—with a false name multiple times in an attempt to avoid identification and arrest.

Further investigation revealed that Hill, without the implied consent of the victim, used another individual’s personal identifying information with the intent to represent herself as that person.

By repeatedly providing false identifying information, Hill did knowingly obstruct and delay the performance of official duties by law enforcement officers.

Once Hill’s true identity was determined, a LEADS check showed that she did not possess a valid driver’s license.

The vehicle was impounded by Mel’s Towing (Tow #2600238).

Hill was transported to the Alliance City Jail, where she was booked and processed on the following charges:

- Falsification (M1)
- Obstructing Official Business (M2)
- Identity Fraud (F5)

Hill was then transported to the Stark County Jail in accordance with the judge’s bond schedule. She is scheduled to appear in Alliance Municipal Court on 06/03/2026, at approximately 1300 hours.

ARRESTED: HUCKLEBERRY GAINER(18)
SENECA TRAIL HARTVILLE OH

Charges:
337.02 LIGHTED LIGHTS REQUIRED TM

4511.19A1 OVI - OPERATING WHILE UNDER THE M1

4511.19A1 OVI - PROHIBITED CONC. OF CONT. SUB. OR M1

On 06/01/2026 at approximately 2240 hours, while traveling westbound in the 1000 block of W. State St., I observed a silver 2012 Volkswagen four-door bearing Ohio registration traveling eastbound on W. State St. without any visible illuminated headlights. I initiated a traffic stop in The Neighborhood Inn parking lot and made contact with the driver, identified as Huckleberry Gainer.

Upon initial contact, I immediately observed that Gainer had glossy, bloodshot eyes. When asked why his eyes were bloodshot, he stated he was “tired.” Gainer advised he was coming from the Salem area after spending time with friends and stated he had stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts to use the restroom. I then observed Gainer exit the parking lot and travel eastbound back onto W. State St. in the direction of Salem, which I found inconsistent given that he had just driven from Salem to Alliance. Additionally, Gainer listed his residence as 110 Seneca Tr. in Hartville, which is in the opposite direction of travel from where he was heading upon leaving the parking lot.

While speaking with Gainer, I observed slow, mumbled speech, droopy eyelids, and he was visibly shaking. Gainer also handed me his vehicle registration without being asked. At this point I believed Gainer to be under the influence and extended the traffic stop into an OVI investigation.

Gainer was then asked to exit the vehicle for further OVI investigation. He was instructed to perform three standardized field sobriety tests and three non-standardized tests, during which he exhibited several signs of impairment. Prior to conducting testing, I turned off my emergency lights and activated steady cruise lights. Gainer was positioned facing away from the patrol vehicles. Prior to the HGN test, Gainer denied any recent head injuries and advised he was not wearing contact lenses. Equal pupil size and equal tracking were observed. During the test, Gainer exhibited noticeable body tremors and was shaking despite the temperature being approximately 63 degrees. No clues were observed on the HGN test. Cannabis impairment does not produce HGN.

During the walk and turn test, a straight line was provided using yellow chalk on flat asphalt. Gainer was instructed to stand with his left foot on the line and his right foot placed heel-to-toe in front. He initially began with improper foot placement and was corrected. After receiving instructions and a demonstration, Gainer stated he understood and had no questions. During the test, Gainer swayed and raised his arms on steps one through five until instructed to lower them, which he did. While turning, he performed a improper turn and missed heel-to-toe contact on step nine of the return. Three clues observed.

During the one leg stand test, Gainer was provided instructions and a demonstration, Gainer stated he understood. While counting, he stated “one thousand eleven,” then “eleven,” before correcting himself and continuing from “one thousand twelve.” The 30-second test concluded while he was at approximately “1023.” Gainer swayed numerous times while balancing. One clue observed. His slow counting was consistent with cannabis impairment.

Sgt. Tussey conducted the lack of convergence test and observed a lack of convergence in Gainer’s left eye. During the modified Romberg test, Gainer displayed pronounced eyelid tremors and estimated 30 seconds at approximately 29 seconds. During this test I noticed Gainer sway multiple times and exibit body tremors.

During the finger-to-nose test, Gainer was instructed to touch the tip of his nose with the tip of his finger. On the first left attempt, he paused and touched his nose with the side of his finger. On the first right attempt, he touched the bottom of his nose. On the second left attempt, he again used the side of his finger and held it there for several seconds. On the second and third right attempts, he again touched the bottom of his nose. On the third left attempt, he touched the tip of his nose with the side of his finger. Gainer missed touching his finger to the tip of his nose all six times. Gainer also swayed nuemrous times during the test.

Gainer was asked to count backward from 69 to 53 and did so correctly until reaching 61, at which point he skipped 60 and continued with 59. After finishing, he stated he missed 50 when he had actually missed 60. During this time, Sgt. Tussey asked if Gainer’s mouth was dry, and he nodded yes. Dry mouth is common with cannabis consumption. Gainer was then instructed to recite the alphabet from D to W without singing. He began prematurely and started mumbling it. When he started he skipped D, and started with E. His speech became unintelligible after K until he reached M.

I then asked Gainer to show his tongue, which had a greenish coating consistent with indicators of marijuana use. Throughout the interaction, Gainer made numerous incomplete verbal statements. Gainer was advised he was under arrest for OVI and was read his Miranda Rights, which he acknowledged and understood. Upon further questioning, he admitted to being around friends who were smoking marijuana and stated he “took one hit.” and that he "Does not smoke." When asked by Sgt. Tussey to rate how high he was on a scale of 1 to 10, Gainer replied “Probably like 4 or 5.”

Gainer’s vehicle was impounded by Mel’s Towing (Tow #2600237), and he was transported to the Alliance City Jail for processing. At the jail, Gainer was read and shown the BMV 2255 form in the presence of Ptl. Caughey. Due to no indication of alcohol impairment, he did not submit to the Intoxilyzer 8000 but did provide a PBT sample, which returned a result of 0.000. Det. Rhome responded to conduct a Drug Recognition Expert evaluation, which Gainer agreed to. Refer to Det. Rhome’s DRE report for further details.

Gainer then provided a urine sample at approximately 0118 hrs. and it was sealed in front of him in accordance with department policy. The urine sample will be sent to the Stark County Crime Lab for analysis.

After processing, Gainer was released on an OR bond with a copy of his traffic citation. He was charged with Lighted Lights Required 337.02 (MM), OVI 4511.19(A)(1)(A) (M1), and OVI 4511.19(A)(1)(J) (M1). Gainer was advised of his mandatory court appearance at Alliance Municipal Court on 06/05/2026 at approximately 1300 hours.

No prior OVIs.

Date: 05/30/2026 at 1029 Hours

Vehicle: 2004 Saturn Ion, Black, VIN 1G8AF52F64Z202130 (Impounded)

Charges:
R.C. 4549.08(A) – Improper License Plates (Fictitious Plates), M1

R.C. 2925.37(A) – Possession of a Counterfeit Controlled Substance, M1

Evidence:

Ohio Registration Plate 161ZZM

Unlabeled pill bottle

Six (6) large white tablets marked “512”

Eight (8) white tablets marked “RP 10 325”

Five (5) small white tablets

Raman and MobileDetect test results

On 05/30/2026 at approximately 1029 hours, I was monitoring vehicular traffic on Ely Street near Garfield Avenue when I conducted a registration check on Ohio registration 161ZZM displayed on a black Saturn Ion. The registration returned to a BMW and did not match the vehicle upon which it was displayed.

I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and identified the driver as Rodrick A. Steed. During the course of the stop, I learned the vehicle was a black 2004 Saturn Ion bearing VIN 1G8AF52F64Z202130.

Investigation revealed the displayed registration plate was assigned to another vehicle and was not registered to the Saturn. Steed admitted he had placed the BMW registration plate on the Saturn because the Saturn possessed a salvage title and had not yet undergone the inspection required to obtain valid registration and license plates. Based upon the registration return and Steed’s admission, probable cause existed to charge him with Improper License Plates – Fictitious Plates in violation of R.C. 4549.08(A).

Due to the fictitious registration plate violation, the Saturn was impounded and a tow was requested.

Prior to towing the vehicle, I conducted an inventory pursuant to department policy. During the inventory, I located an unlabeled orange prescription bottle concealed beneath the front driver seat. Inside the bottle were multiple tablets separated into three different groups consisting of approximately six (6) large white tablets marked “512,” eight (8) white tablets marked “RP 10 325,” and five (5) smaller white tablets, for a total of approximately nineteen (19) tablets.

When questioned about the pills, Steed admitted they belonged to him and stated he had purchased them from an unknown source for treatment of back pain. Steed stated he believed the tablets were Percocet and/or Oxycodone.

The tablets were subjected to preliminary field analysis. A MobileDetect Special Opiates test was conducted and returned a negative result for oxycodone and other tested opiates. An Apex Raman spectrometer was then utilized to analyze the tablets. The larger tablets produced a match for acetaminophen (Tylenol). The smaller tablets produced a match for lactose monohydrate (milk sugar).

No controlled substances were identified during the preliminary analysis.

Based upon the physical appearance of the tablets, the tablet markings, Steed’s statements that he believed he had purchased Percocet/Oxycodone, and the preliminary testing results identifying the substances as acetaminophen and lactose rather than oxycodone or any other controlled substance, I determined the pills were counterfeit controlled substances represented as prescription opioid medication.

Steed was initially detained for possession-related offenses while the field testing was completed. Following the results of the analysis, the charge was amended from Possession of Drugs to Possession of a Counterfeit Controlled Substance in violation of R.C. 2925.37(A). The counterfeit tablets were seized as evidence and will be submitted to the crime laboratory for confirmatory analysis.

Ohio registration plate 161ZZM was removed from the Saturn and seized as evidence. The plate was entered into evidence along with the pill bottle and tablets. The Saturn was subsequently towed from the scene.

Steed was taken into custody without incident and transported for processing. He was photographed, fingerprinted, and a DNA sample was collected in accordance with department procedures. Steed was later released on his own recognizance with a scheduled court appearance in Alliance Municipal Court on 06/05/2026 at 1300 hours.

On 05/30/2026 at approx. 0050hrs, the defendant, Jose Diaz, was at 850 S. Linden Ave. Alliance, Ohio during an investigation. I observed him standing next to an individual, later identified as his co-defendant, Peter Neiswanger, who I witnessed commit a traffic violation, Light and Reflectors on Bicycles (373.06).

While approaching the two individuals, I could see Diaz’s hand reaching inside of a cross-body bag. The area in which we were at, was extremely dark with poor lighting from street lights, it is a high crime area, Diaz and the co-defendant are not residents at the property in which they were standing on the lawn of, and that particular residence was recently raided by the Alliance Special Response Team (SRT) and over an ounce of methamphetamine was recovered from the upstairs apartment. This gesture of reaching into the backpack, me being outnumbered, and the venue being a high crime area, made me concerned for my safety. I had to tell Diaz three different times to stop reaching into the cross-body bag, and I could see a hatchet hanging from his belt. Eventually, I told Diaz to drop the bag due to him continuing to reach inside of it. While he was reaching into the bag, I could see Diaz drop a clear, Tupperware style container. Diaz ultimately dropped the bag at his feet.

While this was occurring, the co-defendant, Peter Neiswanger, explained to me that he does have an active warrant out of Portage County Sheriff's Office. I ran his information through my dispatch to confirm this. While I was waiting for the return information from my dispatch, I walked towards Diaz. As I walked towards Diaz, I could see he was standing next to a plastic baggie of approx. an ounce of methamphetamine on the ground where he was standing when I first arrived in my cruiser. I could also see what appeared to be methamphetamine inside of the clear plastic container he dropped. Diaz was instructed to put his hands behind his back. Diaz did not comply and pulled his arms away from officers. At this time, Ptl. Plymire and I were fighting to gain control of Diaz's arms to place them behind his back. He was then instructed to get on the ground; Diaz did not comply with this order either. He was then forcefully escorted to the ground by me using a double leg takedown, placed under arrest and mirandized.

Diaz was found to be in possession of approx. 32 grams of methamphetamine (More than 10x bulk amount), in 3 separate containers, once plastic baggie, and two Tupperware containers. The plastic bag contained approx. 21 grams, the plastic container that was dropped contained approx. 4.2 grams, and another container inside of Diaz's cross-body bag contained approx. 6.9 grams. Diaz also possessed a digital scale with residue inside of his pants pocket. Diaz admitted to being in possession of the Honda NPS Ruckus which had a VIN number that was scratched off. It should be noted that Diaz's cell phone was located on the back of the motorcycle and he was wearing a motorcycle riding jacket.

The Honda NPS Ruckus was towed by Mels's tow#2600235.

Diaz was transported to the Alliance Police Department for processing. He was charged with Possession of Methamphetamine (F2), Trafficking in Methamphetamine (F2), Receiving Stolen Property (F4), Possessing Criminal Tools (F5), and Resisting Arrest (M2). He was advised that he is to appear in Alliance Municipal Court on 06/01/2026 at 1300hrs. He was then transported to Stark County Jail for booking.

2921.31 OBSTRUCTING OFFICIAL BUSINESS M2

On 05/26/2026, the defendant, Kathleen Booker, was observed operating a teal Mazda Tribute bearing Ohio registration near the intersection of Waugh St. and S. Liberty Ave. The defendant accelerated at a high rate of speed through the intersection, nearly causing a collision with a vehicle traveling northbound on S. Liberty Ave.

The defendant then failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection of Waugh St. and Morgan Ave. The defendant rapidly turned northbound onto Morgan Ave., then pulled into the alley and driveway of 1337 Morgan Ave. and turned off the vehicle’s lights in an attempt to evade police officers.

When asked why she attempted to evade officers, the defendant stated that she was at the residence to pick up a friend. A neighbor who witnessed the defendant pull into the residence advised officers that he saw a black male wearing shorts and a red shirt exit the passenger side of the vehicle and flee southbound on foot.

When questioned about who was in the vehicle with her, the defendant stated that her son was in the vehicle and that he fled on foot because he was scared.

When asked why he would be scared if she was not doing anything illegal, the defendant could not provide an answer. The defendant was then instructed to call him and tell him to return to the vehicle.

The defendant’s son later arrived on scene. He was identified as a white 16-year-old male wearing gray shorts and no shirt. He was subsequently detained by officers. When questioned, he stated only that he was scared and ran from the scene.

After further investigation, it was determined that the defendant had been untruthful with officers and that the individual in the vehicle was Binica Harper, a person with whom the defendant had an active no-contact order. The no contact order was issued as a result of a domestic violence arrest in which the defendant was the victim on 04/22/2026, Alliance Municipal Court Case No. 2026CRB00394.

As a result of the arrest, the defendant’s vehicle was impounded because it was parked on private property, and officers were unable to contact the residents to confirm whether the defendant had permission to leave the vehicle at that location. The vehicle was inventoried per department policy and transported to the impound lot at Mel’s Towing, 1040 S. Webb Ave., Alliance, Ohio 44601.

Date: 05-17-2026 at 0254hrs

Suspect: Rayne N. Millender

Location: S. Union near Overlook

Evidence: Loaded Handgun, Open bottle of Hennessy

Weather: 60 Degree, Night, Lighted Roadway, Smooth Asphalt Surface, Light Traffic, No Inclement Weather

On 05/17/2026 at approximately 0254 hours, I was on routine patrol traveling northbound on S.Union Avenue approaching East Simpson Street in Alliance, Stark County, Ohio. While traveling northbound, I observed a gray Buick passenger vehicle with heavy window tint fail to stop for the posted stop sign at East Simpson Street and continue northbound on S. Union Avenue. I also observed the vehicle nearly strike the curb while traveling northbound.

I conducted a LEADS check on Ohio registration KQG5452, which returned to a 24-year-old female identified as Rayne N. Millender. Due to the observed traffic violations and driving behavior, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle on S. Union Avenue near Overlook Drive.

Upon approaching the vehicle, I immediately detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from inside the vehicle. I made contact with the driver, identified as Rayne Nikelle Millender. I advised Millender of the reason for the traffic stop. Millender stated that she had stopped at the stop sign. I also advised her that the front windows of the vehicle appeared to have illegal window tint.

Millender informed me she did not have her physical driver’s license on her person but could provide her social security number. While speaking with Millender, I noted the odor of an alcoholic beverage was strong coming from her breath. I asked Millender where she was coming from and she stated she had just dropped a friend off. I asked Millender if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages and she stated she had not been drinking, but her friend had been drinking.

While speaking with Millender, I also observed that her eyes were glassy. Based on the totality of the circumstances, I requested Millender exit the vehicle in order to conduct standardized field sobriety tests. Millender exited the vehicle without incident.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus:

Both pupils appeared equal in size and both eyes tracked equally. Millender displayed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Millender also displayed distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes with no white showing.

Walk and Turn:

The test was administered on a smooth and level asphalt surface free of debris utilizing an imaginary line.

Millender was placed into the starting position and instructed not to begin until told to do so. Millender stated she understood the instructions.

I verbally explained and demonstrated the test.

Prior to being instructed to begin, Millender started the test early. During the turning phase of the test, Millender performed an improper turn by spinning on one foot instead of taking a series of small choppy steps as instructed.

One Leg Stand:

The test was administered on a smooth and level asphalt surface. I verbally explained and demonstrated the test to Millender. Millender completed the One Leg Stand test without error.

PBT:

I requested Millender submit to a preliminary breath test (PBT). Millender refused to submit to the PBT.

Based on my observations, knowledge, and experience, Millender’s driving behavior, the odor of an alcoholic beverage, her physical indicators of impairment, and her performance on the standardized field sobriety tests, I determined there was probable cause to place Millender under arrest for Operating a Vehicle Impaired.

Millender was placed under arrest without incident and advised of her Miranda Rights.

Subsequent to the arrest, an inventory of the vehicle was conducted prior to tow. During the inventory, I located an open bottle of Hennessy alcoholic beverage on the front passenger floorboard. I also located a loaded Glock 19 handgun underneath the front passenger seat. The firearm contained one round chambered and additional ammunition was present. Millender stated the firearm belonged to her.

Millender was transported to the Alliance City Jail. At the jail, Millender was read the BMV 2255 form.

After a 20-minute observation period, Millender refused to provide a breath sample and also refused to provide a urine sample for chemical testing.

Millender was charged with the following offenses:Operating a Vehicle While Impaired (OVI) - M1, Stop Sign Violation - TM, Improper Handling of a Firearm in a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence - F5, and Open Container in a Motor Vehicle - MM. Millender was placed under ALS.

DNA buccal swab collection was obtained from Millender.

Millender’s vehicle was towed from the scene by Mel’s Towing. Tow number 2600202

Millender was issued a court date of 05/22/2026 at 1300 hours through Alliance Municipal Court.

The Glock 19 handgun was submitted into evidence and will be sent to the laboratory for operability testing.

Whittaker did knowingly possess 2 glass bubble pipes, a "tooter" and two plastic baggies containing residue. Whittaker intentionally hit his head on the back seat divider, multiple times, and EMT's were called to the scene. EMT's advised he needed to be medically cleared to jail. I then transported Whittaker to the Alliance Community Hospital for medical evaluation. While transporting him he stated "I'll punch your teeth in" to me, a Police Officer.

Whittaker was charge under ORC 2911.12A2 BURGLARY-TO COMMIT OFFENSE - LIKELY TO BE PRESENT [F-2], 2913.02A1 THEFT - WITHOUT CONSENT OF OWNER [M-1], 2925.14C1 POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, 2903.22 MENACING [M-1].

Whittaker was cleared by ACH and transported to the Stark County Jail to await his court appearance on 05/11/2026 at the Alliance Municipal Court at 1300 hours.

Due to the combative nature and threats made by Whittaker he was not processed at the Alliance City Jail, photographed or fingerprinted.

Report: Possession of Drugs/Paraphernalia

Date: 05-10-2026 @ 0142hrs

Suspects: Kassie Adler & Timothy Collage

Location: Selby near Union

Evidence Found: Glass Smoking Pipes, Methamphetamine Rock

Charges:

Adler: Possession of Dangerous Drugs, Paraphernalia, Driving Under Suspension Collage: Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Warrant Served

On May 10, 2026, at approximately 0142 hours, I was on routine patrol in the area of Selby Avenue and Union Avenue in Alliance, Stark County, Ohio. While operating my marked patrol vehicle, I conducted a LEADS check on Ohio registration KWL4035. LEADS returned showing the registered owner to be under suspension. I subsequently initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Selby Avenue and Union Avenue.

Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver, who identified herself as Kassie Dianna Adler. Adler was confirmed through LEADS to be under suspension. Adler was removed from the vehicle and advised she was under arrest for Driving Under Suspension.

Due to the driver being under suspension and no valid driver being available to take custody of the vehicle, the vehicle was determined to be subject to tow and impound pursuant to Alliance Police Department policy.

The front seat passenger was identified as Timothy Raymond Collage. LEADS further revealed Collage had an active warrant through Alliance Municipal Court for Failure to Appear on the original charge of Driving Under Suspension or In Violation of License Restriction. The warrant was confirmed through dispatch and Collage was placed under arrest without incident.

Prior to the vehicle being towed, an inventory search of the vehicle was conducted pursuant to Alliance Police Department policy. During the inventory search, a disguised lock box designed to appear as a book was located on the rear driver-side floorboard. Upon opening the disguised book safe, which was not locked, I located a quantity of white rock-like substance suspected to be methamphetamine along with six glass pipes containing white residue consistent with narcotics use.

Based on my training and experience, the white rock-like substance was consistent in appearance with methamphetamine. After being read her Miranda Rights and acknowledging those rights, Kassie Adler admitted ownership of the methamphetamine located inside the disguised book safe.The suspected narcotics were collected, and submitted into evidence.

The white rock-like substance was submitted to the crime laboratory for chemical analysis. A preliminary chemical analysis was conducted utilizing a DetectaChem APEX Raman analyzer, which returned a positive match for Methamphetamine HCl. The attached APEX report documented Test Number 00018 conducted on May 10, 2026, at approximately 0248 hours, which identified the substance as Methamphetamine HCl.

Also during the inventory search, a black bag was located on the front passenger floorboard directly between Timothy Collage’s feet. The bag was searched and found to contain a glass bubble pipe with white residue commonly associated with the use of methamphetamine. The bag also contained personal mail and identifying items belonging to Timothy Collage, indicating ownership and possession of the bag and its contents by Collage.

Kassie Adler was advised she was being charged with Aggravated Possession of Drugs in violation of ORC 2925.11(A), a felony of the fifth degree, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in violation of ORC 2925.14(C)(1), a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, and Driving Under Suspension in violation of ORC 4510.11(A)(1), a misdemeanor of the first degree.

Timothy Collage was advised he was under arrest on the active Alliance Municipal Court warrant and was additionally charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in violation of ORC 2925.14(C)(1), a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, for knowingly possessing the glass bubble pipe containing white residue located inside the black bag found between his feet on the front passenger floorboard.

All recovered property and evidence were submitted into evidence.

Kassie Adler’s purse and its contents were inventoried and submitted for safekeeping.

The vehicle was towed and impounded by Mel’s Towing.

Both subjects were transported to the Stark County Jail without incident.

ARRESTED: TAMI ROBERTS(56)
EDISON ST ALLIANCE

Charges:
4511.19A1 OVI - OPERATING WHILE UNDER THE M1

331.17A RIGHT OF WAY WHEN TURNING LEFT TM

Report: OVI

Date: 05-01-2026 @ 0210hrs

Location: State St @ Union

Suspect: Tami S. Roberts

Charges: OVI, Failure to Yield Left Turn

On 05-01-2026 at approximately 0210hrs, I was sitting in my marked police cruiser in the lighted parking lot of Aultman Alliance Community Hospital Wound Care Clinic, 120 E. State St, Alliance, OHIO, STARK County, 44601. Headlights were turned on while I was sitting stationary facing south towards Cherry Ave.

I observed a black vehicle approach northbound on Cherry Ave and stop at the posted stop sign at State St. The driver then repeatedly flashed the vehicle’s headlights in my direction while I was stationary in a marked cruiser in a parking lot. There were no other vehicles in the area that would have reasonably prompted the driver to flash their headlights. I remained stationary and briefly flashed my headlights in response. The vehicle then proceeded to initiate a left turn onto State St.

The vehicle initiated a left turn directly into the path of an oncoming double trailer semi traveling westbound on State St. The semi was forced to brake abruptly and activated its horn continuously to avoid a collision. The driver did not appear to react to the horn or the presence of the semi.

I pulled out of the parking lot and immediately initiated a traffic stop on the black Chevy Camaro bearing Ohio KDJ7012 and the vehicle came to a stop on State St. just west of Union Ave. I ran the vehicle through LEADS on my MDT which returned to 56YOA Tami S. Roberts of 9642 Edison St. Alliance, OHIO, Stark County, 44601.

I approached the driver and asked what had occurred. Roberts stated she had just left work, picked up her dog, and that “the guy blinked me to go, so I went,” before being stopped.

While speaking, Roberts pointed toward the westbound lane of State St in the direction of the semi that had nearly struck her vehicle. I advised Roberts that she had been flashing her headlights at my marked cruiser, not a truck. Roberts insisted multiple times that it was a truck and continued to reference a truck despite my explanation.

Roberts denied that any near collision had occurred. She also stated she had been stopped at a traffic light at the intersection, despite there being no traffic signal present. Roberts continued to repeat that it was a truck and stated she was not going to argue about it.

During my interaction, Roberts appeared confused and disoriented regarding the events that had just occurred. She repeatedly insisted she had been signaling to a truck, when in fact she had been signaling to my marked cruiser. She also denied that the near collision with the semi occurred, despite my direct observation of the event.

I asked the driver to present her drivers license and insurance card. While she was retrieving these items I inquired where she was coming from and she stated Chives. The driver further stated that she was a waitress there.

I began to note several observations with the driver, the first being that she had pinpointed pupils, glassy eyes, was clearly confused on what just occurred, refused to recognize the reality of the situation, there was a strong concentrated odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from inside the vehicle. I inquired if she had been drinking and the driver stated she had not.

After confirming that the driver was the registered owner, Tami Roberts, I asked her to step out of the vehicle so that I could continue my investigation and suspicion of an impaired driver. Upon exiting the vehicle, Roberts displayed an unsteady, unbalanced gait and leaned against the rear of the vehicle for support. When directed to move away from the vehicle, she walked with slow, deliberate, and rigid movements, appearing to focus on maintaining her balance.

I advised Roberts that I believed she was under the influence and I was going to have her perform field sobriety tests. I asked Roberts if she had anything wrong with her eyes and she stated she wears contacts, however, this is not reflected on her drivers license which states no restrictions.

The following tests were performed on a lighted smooth and level asphalt surface:

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus:

I checked Roberts’ eyes for equal tracking and equal pupil size. Both eyes tracked equally and pupils were equal in size. I observed that her pupils appeared constricted under normal lighting conditions. I inquired if she had consumed anything other than alcohol and she stated no, and, that she had not consumed any alcohol. As Roberts spoke I was smelling a heavy concentrated odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath. While gauging the eyes of Roberts and showing her the stimulus that she would be falling she kept looking at my flashlight and not the pen. Roberts kept saying my flashing was blinking and it was on steady and not in strobe mode.

Roberts had lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes when checked for smooth and equal tracking. Roberts had distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation with no white showing in both eyes. Roberts had angle of onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes.

Walk and Turn:

When asked to perform the Walk and Turn test, Roberts refused.

One Leg Stand:

When asked to perform the One Leg Stand test, Roberts refused.

PBT:

When asked to submit to a portable breath test, Roberts refused.

Based on the totality of the circumstances, including Roberts’ dangerous driving behavior, failure to yield resulting in a near collision, confusion and inability to accurately perceive or recall events, strong odor of an alcoholic beverage, glassy eyes, unsteady and unbalanced gait, performance on the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, and her refusal to submit to standardized field sobriety tests and a portable breath test, I believe Roberts was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Subsequently, Roberts was placed under arrest for OVI and read her Miranda Rights. Roberts was secured in the back of Cruiser #44.

After placing Roberts in the rear of my cruiser, the interior became filled with a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage.

Roberts was transported back to the APD jail where she was read the BMV2255 form and after a twenty minute observation period she refused to provide a breath or urine sample.

Roberts was charged with OVI and Failure to Yield Turning Left. Roberts was provided with a court date to appear in Alliance Municipal Court on 05-06-2026 at 1300hrs. During the booking process, Roberts was uncooperative and argumentative with officers. Each time she spoke she emitted a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage from her breath.

Roberts was released to her daughter. Her vehicle was impounded. Placed under ALS.

Report: OVI & Disorderly Conduct

Date: 05-05-2026 @ 0007hrs

Suspect: Keith Thomas

Environmental Conditions: 50 Degrees, No acclimate weather, smooth and level asphalt surface clear of debris, lighted roadway

Charges: Stopping in Roadway, OVI, Disorderly Conduct while Intoxicated

******************************

On 05-05-2026 at 0007hrs, Capt. Hilles, while on duty, received a phone call from his son, Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor Kyle Hilles, who had just left the Alliance Police Department, stating he just observed a black male rolling around on the roadway near a black vehicle stopped in the roadway at 570 Warehouse St, Alliance, OHIO, Stark County, 44601.

Upon arrival, I observed a male subject in the roadway leaning against the rear of a black vehicle bearing Maine registration. The subject was actively urinating onto the vehicle in public view. I also observed a pile of feces on the roadway directly behind the vehicle. When asked, the subject admitted to defecating in the roadway.

The subject appeared highly impaired, as he was extremely unsteady on his feet, had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath, and had bloodshot, glassy eyes. The subject admitted to consuming “a lot” of alcohol at multiple locations and further admitted to operating the vehicle to its current location.

The male was identified as Keith Thomas and he was driving a rental vehicle.

I advised the male that I was going to conduct an OVI investigation in conjunction with his disorderly conduct of defecating and urinating in the open public.

The following tests were performed:

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus:

Thomas stated he wears bi-focals and at one point got anti-freeze in his left eye.

Both eyes tracked equally and the pupils were equal in size in a very constricted state. I questioned Thomas if he had consumed anything else and he stated marijuana. I asked if the marijuana was laced with any other drugs and he stated possibly. Thomas had lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Thomas had distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation with not white showing in both eyes.

Thomas had angle of onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes.

Walk and Turn:

Thomas stated he had no issues with his ankles, knees, or back. Thomas agreed with me that the road surface was flat and level and there was no debris or reason he should not be able to walk a straight line. Thomas then grabbed his right leg and stated his right leg is shorter than his left. I instructed Thomas into the starting position and he began the test before being told to do so. I instructed Thomas back into the starting position and gave him verbal instructions during which time he lost his balance and broke his feet apart. I then demonstrated the test and Keith stated he understood the instructions.

Thomas began the test and counted the starting position as step 1. Thomas had a gap of 1" or more on steps 2,3,4,5,7. Thomas raised his arms 6" or more from his side for balance. Thomas stepped off the line at step 9 and stopped. Thomas proceeded to take a total of 13 steps not the 9 as instructed.

Thomas then stated he forgot the instructions, stated he could still kick some ass and stated he will put a bullet in a mother fuckers head, sir. I told him to take another 9 heel to toe steps. Thomas began his second set of steps and stepped off the line and stopped at step 3, raised his arms more than 6" for balance, and finished at 9 steps.

One Leg Stand:

Thomas stated he was comfortable where he was standing and felt it was level. I verbally gave the instructions and then demonstrated the test. Thomas stated he understood the instructions. Thomas attempted the test but after multiple attempts, swaying, using his arms for balance, dropping his foot 3x or more I stopped the test.

Based on the totality of the circumstances, including Thomas’ admissions, physical indicators of impairment, performance on field sobriety tests, and his admitted operation of a motor vehicle, I determined there was probable cause to arrest Thomas for Operating a Vehicle Impaired. Additionally,

Thomas’ actions of defecating in the roadway and urinating in public view created a physically offensive condition without lawful purpose and caused inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm to others, in violation of Ohio Revised Code 2917.11.

Thomas was placed under arrest for Operating a Vehicle Impaired, advised of his Miranda rights, and secured in the rear of unit #44. Thomas was transported to the Alliance Police Department jail, where he placed a call to his attorney, Jeff Jakmides, and left a voicemail. Thomas was then read the BMV 2255 form and, following a 20-minute observation period, refused to submit to a breath or urine test.

Thomas was charged with Stopping in Roadway, Operating a Vehicle Impaired, and Disorderly Conduct. Thomas was placed under an Administrative License Suspension (ALS), and his commercial driver’s license was seized. Thomas stated he had no one available to pick him up, and due to his level of intoxication, he was not eligible for release to his residence. Thomas was subsequently transported to the Stark County Jail.

Date: 05-04-2026 @ 0900hrs

Suspect: John Natale
Victims: Dollar Tree, Save A Lot,
Charges: Theft x2 M-1, Agg. Menace M-1

On 05-04-2026 at approximately 0930 hours, I responded to Harbor Freight regarding a report of a male who had entered a rear storage room and was urinating on the wall.

The store manager, Elizabeth Fye, confronted the male, later identified as John Natale, who had entered the business claiming he was seeking employment. Fye advised that Natale had also been at Family Farm and Home, where he was removed from the premises.

I spoke with manager John Siranovic, who stated Natale did not steal any merchandise but requested that he be formally trespassed from the property. While gathering information, I was advised that Natale was actively shoplifting at Dollar Tree.

I responded and located Natale inside the store. I observed that he had concealed merchandise in his jacket pockets. The merchandise was recovered and returned to Dollar Tree. I then spoke with employee Deedee Sir Louis, who stated Natale had been in the store earlier that morning and shoplifted wash cloths. She advised that store policy prohibits employees from physically intervening.

She further stated Natale had gone to Save A Lot and later returned to Dollar Tree with the previously stolen items. Sir Louis had Natale leave his Save A Lot bag at the front of the store, where she recovered the stolen wash cloths.

While speaking with Sir Louis, Save A Lot contacted dispatch to report that Natale had stolen popsicles. Natale had placed the items in a Save A Lot bag, approached the cashier, and stated he was taking the popsicles without paying before leaving the store.

During a pat-down of Natale, I located an air freshener in his pocket that he had just stolen from Dollar Tree. I also located a can of WD-40, which I returned to Harbor Freight. Fyeconfirmed the WD-40 was taken from a restricted rear storage area and identified it by an “in-store use” label.

Harbor Freight declined to pursue theft or disorderly conduct charges related to the WD-40 and the
urination incident.

Harbor Freight, Dollar Tree, Save A Lot, and Family Farm and Home all requested that Natale be
trespassed from their properties.

Totality of Circumstances Summary:

On May 4, 2026, John Natale engaged in a continuous course of criminal conduct involving multiple theft offenses at separate businesses within a short time frame. Natale knowingly concealed and removed merchandise from Dollar Tree without payment and subsequently committed a second theft at Save A Lot, where he openly admitted to taking merchandise without paying.

Natale was located and taken into custody, at which time stolen items from the incidents were recovered from his person, confirming his involvement in both offenses.

During transport to the Alliance Police Department, Natale escalated the situation by making a direct threat to kill Ofc. Dan Fidoe once his restraints were removed. Natale also stated that Judge Andrew Zumbar was a bitch pussy. Upon arrival to APD, there was a squad out front on an active call for service and Natale stated he hopes the squad was there for Judge Zumbar because its about time for him.

Based on the totality of the circumstances—including multiple theft offenses, possession of stolen property, and a direct threat of serious physical harm—probable cause exists for two counts of Theft (M-1) and one count of Aggravated Menacing (M-1).

Natale was transported to the Stark County Jail where he threw a cup of water across the booking room and became aggressive and beligerent threatening to kick everyones ass.

On 05/03/2026 at 0101 hours, I was working midnight patrol shift when I observed a white Mitsubishi Lancer bearing Ohio Reg:(KGQ5388) traveling eastbound on W State St that had a excessively loud muffler. I activated my overhead emergency lights and conducted a traffic stop with the vehicle in the 300Blk of W State St. I approached the passenger side of the vehicle to make contact with the driver.

Upon my approach, the driver did not see me standing at the passenger side of the vehicle while I was shining my flashlight into the vehicle. For approx., 30 seconds I went unnoticed by the driver. During that time I observed the driver spray perfume and put a cough drop into her mouth. I also observed a spilt beer can on the passenger side floor board with beer all over the floor mat.

I made my presence know to the driver, who was identified as Tracy Bowman. The defendant was advised of the reason for the traffic stop and was asked where she was coming from. The defendant had just left Rey's Bar and admitted to having one drink prior to leaving. While speaking with the defendant I noticed her eyes were watery/glassy, she had slurred speech, and I was able to smell a moderate odor of a alcoholic beverage coming from her person as she spoke to me. She was the sole occupant of the vehicle. Due to my observations listed above, the original traffic stop for the equipment violation was extended into a OVI investigation. The defendant was asked to exit the vehicle.

The defendant was asked to perform three standardized field sobriety tests, which she performed poorly on - showing numerous indicators of impairment. These were recorded on POV Wehrenberg and POV Plymire.

During the HGN Test, the defendant showed Lack of Smooth Pursuit in both the left and right eyes.

While attempting to continue the rest of the test, the defendant continued to look past my finger and could not follow my instructions properly. The defendant could not perform the test. (6 Clues)

(7 Clues)

During the One-Leg Stand Test, the defendant swayed while balancing, used her arms to balance, and put her foot down on count 18, 19 and 24. After the third time the defendant put her foot down, I suspended the test due to my concern the defendant was going to fall. (3 Clues)

The defendant was asked to perform non-standardized tests, which she performed poorly on.

During the Alphabet Test, the defendant recited the alphabet from D-Q correctly as instructed but slurred while she recited the letters.

During the Count Down Test, the defendant was instructed to count backwards from 69-56. The defendant missed the number 57 and slurred heavily during the test.

The defendant was subsequently arrested for OVI and was mirandized. The defendant was transported to Alliance City Jail for processing. The defendant was read and shown the BMV 2255 form and explained consequences of high test or refusal per R.C. 4511.192. This was witnessed by Ptl. Santora.

Location: 130 W. Vine St

Date/Time: 04-17-2026 @ 0100 hrs

Suspect: George J. Balas

Charges: OVI, BAC Breath, BAC Urine, Failure to Control

Officer: D. Fidoe #336

On 04-17-2026 at approximately 0100 hours, I responded to 130 W. Vine St. for a report of a motor vehicle crash.

Upon arrival, I observed a white male sitting in the middle of the roadway, later identified as George J. Balas. A black Dodge Caliber bearing Ohio registration had struck a parked Ford F-250 bearing Ohio registration , which was parked on the south side of the roadway. Both front airbags in the Dodge Caliber had deployed.

I approached Balas, who stated he was the driver of the Dodge Caliber. I immediately observed that Balas appeared lethargic, had bloodshot/glassy eyes, droopy eyelids, and was unsteady. I asked Balas if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages. He stated he had consumed one beer approximately two hours prior to the crash. When asked what caused the crash, Balas stated that the vehicles parked along the roadway were parked too far from the curb.

I instructed Balas to move out of the roadway. He required assistance to stand. Once on his feet, Balas was unsteady, appeared “rubber-legged,” and swayed while standing stationary.

Balas did not display any visible injuries but complained of neck pain. Alliance Fire Department personnel arrived on scene, evaluated Balas, and he declined treatment and transport.

OVI Investigation:

I advised Balas he would be asked to perform standardized field sobriety tests, and he agreed.

The tests were conducted on a smooth, level asphalt surface free of debris. The roadway was wet; however, it was not raining at the time. Ambient lighting illuminated the area. An imaginary line was used for the Walk and Turn test. The temperature was approximately 55 degrees with no wind.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN)

Balas stated he wears glasses. Both eyes tracked equally, and both pupils appeared equal in size.

I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. I observed distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, with no white of the eye showing.

I observed onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes.

Walk and Turn:

Balas stated he wears braces on both feet.I instructed Balas into the starting position. He began the test prematurely and had to be repositioned. He was instructed multiple times to remain in the starting position until told to begin.Balas was unable to maintain balance during the starting position and broke stance to regain balance.After I provided instructions and demonstrated the test, Balas stated he understood. During the test, Balas missed heel-to-toe on every step. At step nine, he stopped, turned toward me, and asked what to do next. After being instructed to continue, he completed the return steps, again missing heel-to-toe on every step.

One Leg Stand:

Balas stated he might be able to perform the test but reiterated he normally wears braces, which he did not have on.While in the starting position, Balas swayed and had to catch himself from falling. After instructions were given and he stated he understood, Balas attempted the test but was unable to maintain balance and repeatedly put his foot down.

Alphabet Test:

Balas stated he has an associate degree and knows the alphabet. He was instructed to recite the alphabet, which he was unable to do correctly.

Based on the totality of the circumstances, including Balas’ physical condition, statements, driving behavior, and performance on field sobriety tests, I determined Balas was operating a motor vehicle while impaired. Balas was placed under arrest for OVI and secured in Unit #44.

Balas was transported to the Alliance Police Department Jail, where he was read the BMV 2255 form. After a 20-minute observation period, Balas provided a breath sample of 0.110 BAC. Balas also stated he had taken Ambien, and a urine sample was collected for further analysis.

Balas was charged with OVI, BAC Breath, BAC Urine, and Failure to Control. He was issued a court date to appear in Alliance Municipal Court on 04-20-2026 at 1300 hours.Balas was released on a personal recognizance bond and transported to his residence at 426 W. Vine St., where his sober girlfriend and children were present.

Balas’ vehicle was towed by Mel’s Towing.

An OH-1 crash report was completed.

Nothing further.

Report: OVI – Traffic Crash
Location: 130 W. Vine St
Date/Time: 04-17-2026 @ 0100 hrs
Suspect: George J. Balas
Charges: OVI, BAC Breath, BAC Urine, Failure to Control
Officer: D. Fidoe #336

On 04-17-2026 at approximately 0100 hours, I responded to 130 W. Vine St. for a report of a motor vehicle crash.

Upon arrival, I observed a white male sitting in the middle of the roadway, later identified as George J. Balas. A black Dodge Caliber bearing Ohio registration had struck a parked Ford F-250 bearing Ohio registration, which was parked on the south side of the roadway. Both front airbags in the Dodge Caliber had deployed.

I approached Balas, who stated he was the driver of the Dodge Caliber. I immediately observed that Balas appeared lethargic, had bloodshot/glassy eyes, droopy eyelids, and was unsteady. I asked Balas if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages. He stated he had consumed one beer approximately two hours prior to the crash. When asked what caused the crash, Balas stated that the vehicles parked along the roadway were parked too far from the curb.

I instructed Balas to move out of the roadway. He required assistance to stand. Once on his feet, Balas was unsteady, appeared “rubber-legged,” and swayed while standing stationary.

Balas did not display any visible injuries but complained of neck pain. Alliance Fire Department personnel arrived on scene, evaluated Balas, and he declined treatment and transport.

OVI Investigation:

I advised Balas he would be asked to perform standardized field sobriety tests, and he agreed.

The tests were conducted on a smooth, level asphalt surface free of debris. The roadway was wet; however, it was not raining at the time. Ambient lighting illuminated the area. An imaginary line was used for the Walk and Turn test. The temperature was approximately 55 degrees with no wind.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN)

Balas stated he wears glasses. Both eyes tracked equally, and both pupils appeared equal in size.

I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. I observed distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, with no white of the eye showing. I observed onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes.

Walk and Turn:

Balas stated he wears braces on both feet.I instructed Balas into the starting position. He began the test prematurely and had to be repositioned. He was instructed multiple times to remain in the starting position until told to begin.Balas was unable to maintain balance during the starting position and broke stance to regain balance.After I provided instructions and demonstrated the test, Balas stated he understood. During the test, Balas missed heel-to-toe on every step. At step nine, he stopped, turned toward me, and asked what to do next. After being instructed to continue, he completed the return steps, again missing heel-to-toe on every step.

One Leg Stand:

Balas stated he might be able to perform the test but reiterated he normally wears braces, which he did not have on.While in the starting position, Balas swayed and had to catch himself from falling. After instructions were given and he stated he understood, Balas attempted the test but was unable to maintain balance and repeatedly put his foot down.

Alphabet Test:

Balas stated he has an associate degree and knows the alphabet. He was instructed to recite the alphabet, which he was unable to do correctly.

Based on the totality of the circumstances, including Balas’ physical condition, statements, driving behavior, and performance on field sobriety tests, I determined Balas was operating a motor vehicle while impaired. Balas was placed under arrest for OVI and secured in Unit #44.

Balas was transported to the Alliance Police Department Jail, where he was read the BMV 2255 form.

After a 20-minute observation period, Balas provided a breath sample of 0.110 BAC. Balas also stated he had taken Ambien, and a urine sample was collected for further analysis.

Balas was charged with OVI, BAC Breath, BAC Urine, and Failure to Control. He was issued a court date to appear in Alliance Municipal Court on 04-20-2026 at 1300 hours.Balas was released on a personal recognizance bond and transported to his residence at 426 W. Vine St., where his sober girlfriend and children were present.

Balas’ vehicle was towed by Mel’s Towing.

An OH-1 crash report was completed.

Nothing further.

On 04/10/2026 at approximately 1501 hours, I responded to 57 E. Main Street APT #2 Alliance Ohio, 44601 for an report of a unknown male exposing himself to the caller and his family.

Upon arrival I met with the caller and his wife, Brandon Gillespie and Christina Sallaz who stated that the unknown male is known to frequent the area and is believed to be homeless. He often sits on the bench in front of their apartment complex. Brandon and Christina said as they were both sitting in their car with their two-year old daughter, that gentleman came around the corner to the back side of their apartment complex and pulled out his genitals and started urinating while making eye contact with them.

I was able to locate that unknown gentleman, later identified as Lydgeor Edwards Roberts sitting on a bench in front 57 E. Main Street.

On 04/08/2026, at approximately 1715 hours, the defendant, David Allen Hawkins, was located at the intersection of N. Mahoning Ave. and Front Street, Alliance, Ohio 44601. I observed the defendant standing in the middle of the intersection holding a white and black object in his hand. The defendant then slammed the object onto the ground.

I stopped and instructed the defendant to pick up the object or he would be charged with littering. The defendant walked around and picked up the object, then moved to the side of the roadway, made an obscene gesture toward me, and threw the object back onto the ground. I then advised the defendant that he would be issued a citation for littering.

While I was beginning to issue the citation, a witness contacted the Alliance Police Department and reported that the defendant was throwing other objects at passing vehicles. While I was speaking with the defendant, the witness stated that she observed an officer arrive on scene to handle the situation.

The defendant then walked across the intersection again and fell into the grass. Patrolman Wells and Patrolman Sheese advised the defendant to remain seated due to his high level of intoxication. The defendant stood up and walked back into the intersection, causing traffic to stop as he entered the roadway.

The defendant continued to ignore commands from Patrolman Wells and Patrolman Sheese. As a result, he was detained in handcuffs to prevent him from re-entering the roadway and potentially being struck by a passing vehicle.

The defendant was advised that he was under arrest and would be transported to the Alliance Police Department for processing. While at the police department, I contacted the reporting witness by phone. She stated that she observed the defendant throwing rocks, plastic, and other debris at passing vehicles. At this time, no individuals had reported any damage.

Due to the defendant’s high level of intoxication, I was unable to complete the full processing procedure, and photographs and fingerprints were not obtained. The defendant was then transported to the Stark County Jail, where he was booked until he was sober and able to be released.

The defendant was charged with the following offenses: 2909.09(B)(1) – Vehicular Vandalism (M1), 2921.31(A) – Obstructing Official Business (M2), 3767.32(A) – Littering (M3), and Disorderly Conduct (B)(1) (M4).

The defendant was advised of his mandatory court date of 04/10/2026 at 1300 hours. This information was also relayed to his mother, Jessica Hawkins, as the defendant was heavily intoxicated and did not recall vomiting on himself while at the Alliance Police Department.

Report # 2612839

Offense: OVI, Failure to Control

Date: 4/03/2026 at 0027 hours

Suspect: John Stiffler

Location: S. Union Ave. and W. Main St.

Officers: Plymire (reporting), Fidoe (back-up), Caughey (assisting)

Weather: Night, rain, windy, illuminated by streetlights

On 4/5/2026 at 0032 hours, we responded to a report of vehicle on its side reported by Ptl. Caughey, in the interstation of Union Ave and W. Main St. Upon arrival I observed a blue Hyundai sedan bearing OH reg: rolled over on its driver side. The driver, later identified as John Stiffler, was still inside the driver's seat of the vehicle. Officers attempted to remove John from the vehicle due to his vehicle smoking but were unable to do so. AFD arrived on scene and began extracting Mr. Stiffler from the vehicle.

I inspected the roadway and curb and found paint transfer on the side of a concrete pad for a utility box. The metal utility box had been scraped, also appearing to be from Mr. Stiffler's vehicle. The position of the vehicle and marks on the curb and utility box indicated Mr. Stiffler had been traveling eastbound on W. Main St. The evidence show that Mr. Stiffler attempted to turn South on S. Union Ave. Mr. Stiffler then drove off the roadway, striking the curb and the concrete pad, resulting in the vehicle flipping on its side.

While speaking with Mr. Stiffler in the back of the EMT ambulance, I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath when he spoke. Mr. Stiffler had slurred speech, glassy eyes, and was lethargic.

At 0049 hours, I asked Mr. Stiffler how much he had to drink. He stated he only had a couple of beers and a shot of Yukon Jack. He stated, “I wasn’t that drunk.” Mr. Stiffler said multiple times that he has not drank in years.

At 0051 hours, Mr. Stiffler, while talking to the EMT, stated “I do not want to get a DUI even though I'm going to.”

At 0052 hours, Mr. Stiffler said he was out drinking with some girls and he “drank with them and drank a little too much.”

At 0054 hours, he stated, he was drinking at the Silver Bullet. The Silver Bullet is a bar in the Northeast corner of the City of Alliance.

At 0106 hours, Ptl.Fidoe asked Mr. Stiffler on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest probability of alcohol contributing to your accident. What would you rate it? Mr. Stiffler stated I don’t know probably a 5 then thought about it and said maybe an 8. Ptl. Fidoe then clarified with him so, an 80 percent contributing factor that alcohol contributed to the accident.

At 0108 hours, Mr. Stiffler stated “I might be intoxicated I'm not going to lie.” Mr. Stiffler was then given a PBT test which showed the presence of alcohol.

Mr. Stiffler was transported to Aultman Alliance Community Hospital for medical evaluation. Upon arrival, I read Mr. Stiffler the BMV 2255 and his Miranda rights at 0126 hours. I then asked Mr. Stiffler if he would provide a urine sample. Mr. Stiffler refused to provide a urine sample. Mr. Stiffler again admitted to drinking alcohol. He said he probably had only about 3 beers and 2 Yukon Jacks and that he was drinking at the Silver Bullet.

Due to the accident, Mr. Stiffler's impaired state, and injuries, SFSTs were unable to be completed. Mr. Stiffler refused to sign the BMV 2255. Mr. Stiffler's driver's license was seized, and he was placed under ALS.

Mr. Stiffler was charged with OVI 4511.19A1A (M-1) and Failure to Control 331.34A (T-M) Mr. Stiffler was provided a court date to appear in Alliance Municipal Court on 04/08/2026 at 1300 hours.

On 04/04/2026, at approx 2200 hrs, dispatch advised units of a white jeep that was driving all over the roadway and struck a house on W. Ely St.

Upon arrival, I located the white jeep at 453 W. Ely St. The vehicle had fresh damage to the front passenger side of the vehicle. Ptl. Bragg found damage on the house caused by the Jeep after the driver had parked. The resident came outside and said his mother was driving the Jeep. The defendant, Primrose Gatchell, came outside and admitted to operating the white Jeep. I immediately noticed that she had bloodshot eyes, poor balance, and a heavy odor of alcohol on her person. The defendant admitted to having a cream-flavored vodka mixed with Root Beer before driving.

The defendant admitted to driving the vehicle to 1198 Harrisburg Rd (Circle K) for more Root Beer.

The defendant said she didn't have any alcoholic beverages after returning home. The defendant was asked to perform three standardized tests, which she performed poorly on -- showing numerous indicators of impairment. These were recorded by POV.

On the HGN Test, I explained the directions and instructed the defendant to keep her head still and follow the tip of the stimulus with her eyes only. During the test, the defendant failed to follow these instructions, repeatedly looking straight ahead at me instead of tracking the stimulus. I gave multiple verbal reminders to follow the stimulus with her eyes only; however, the defendant continued not to follow directions. The defendant was unable to perform the test.

On the One-Leg Stand test, I instructed the defendant to stand with one foot approximately 6 inches off the ground, keep her arms at her sides, and count aloud. The defendant failed to lift her foot off the ground. The defendant also swayed back and forth while attempting the test, with officers standing nearby in case she lost balance. The defendant was unable to perform the test.

On the Walk and Turn Test, during the instruction stage, the defendant was unable to follow the instructions, and, for her safety, I ended the test after multiple balance losses. The defendant was unable to perform the test.

LT. Rose conducted several non-standardized tests

LT. Rose asked the defendant to recite the alphabet starting at D and ending at W. The defendant said “e,f,g,h, i,j,k,l,m,n,q,r,s,t,z.” The defendant missed “d,o,p,u,v,w”.

LT. Rose instructed the defendant to extend one hand, touch the tip of their thumb to each fingertip while counting aloud "1,2,3,4, and then reverse the sequence. The defendant failed to follow the instructions. The defendant counted in the opposite order and stumbled over her fingers multiple times, failing to touch her fingertips to her thumb.

On 04-03-26 at approximately 0129hrs., the defendant, Hali Derr, was arrested and issued a traffic citation for 4511.19(A)(1)(A) - Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence (M1), 4511.19A1H - OVI - .17 Breath (Subsection H) (M1), 4511.19A1I - OVI - .238 Urine (Subsection I) (M1), 333.03B - Speed (TM) and 337.02 - Lighted Lights Required (TM) as a result of a traffic stop on W. State St at S. Rockhill Ave in the City of Alliance, OH.

I observed a black 2002 Jeep SW 2023 bearing OH Reg# JTX3712 traveling eastbound in the 1000blk of W. State St without its headlights and speeding. I activated the Stalker Dual DSR RADAR, in the closing moving mode and confirmed the defendant's vehicle was speeding, to wit 49mph in a clearly and legally posted 35mph zone. I heard the proper audible tone and locked the speed at 49mph.

A traffic stop was initiated and contact was made with the operator of the vehicle, Hali Derr. When Derr attempted to pull her vehicle over for the traffic stop she was observed going over the curb and sidewalk, before stopping. Upon making contact with Derr, I advised Derr the reason for the stop, asked for her driver’s license and insurance card. While Derr and I spoke, she was observed having red watery bloodshot eyes. Derr also spoke very slow with a slurred speech. I could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person when she spoke. I asked Derr if she had been drinking to which she replied yes. Derr stated initially she had three drinks at the Elm Inn.

Prior to asking Derr to exit the vehicle, I asked Derr if she wanted to do some field sobriety test to determine if she was okay to drive home, to which she agreed to. Thee first pre-exit test was for Derr to recite the alphabet from the letter “M” to “Z”. Derr was heard reciting the alphabet, “m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,z,y,o and z.”, causing Derr to fail this test. I then asked Derr to count backwards from the number 30 to 22, which she did and failed. Derr was heard counting correctly to the number 23 then she was heard counting, “23,24,23,22”, causing her to fail this test.

Derr was asked to exit her vehicle and when she did, she almost fell causing officers to catch her, to stop her from falling. Derr was then asked to if she wished to do more field sobriety tests (SFST), to which she stated she would. The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test was the next Derr had to perform and she failed. While conducting this test, officers had to stop this test because Derr was too intoxicated. Derr was unable to conduct any part of this test as instructed. Derr was observed swaying while standing for this test so badly that officers were concerned for her safety.

Derr was not asked to perform any other field sobriety test due to her extreme level of intoxication which caused officers concern for her safety. Derr was taken into custody and transported to the station for processing while her vehicle was towed.

Once at the station, Derr was read the BMV2255 form my me, witness by Ptl. Fideo #336. Derr was asked to give a breath sample using the Intoxilizer 8000, to which she did. Derr’s breath sample was .254, which is over the legal limit of .08.

Report #2612839

Offense: Illumination Of License Plate, OVI, OVI breath, OVI Urine, Underage Drinking

Date: 4/03/2026 @ 0045

Suspect: Cody Miller

Location: Hartshorn St. and Clark Ave.

Weather / conditions: night, lighted, smooth, and level sidewalk, 70 degrees.

On 4/3/2026 at 0045 hours, Ptl. Fidoe and I were conducting routine patrol traveling north in the 2100 block of S. Union Ave. At the intersection of S. Union Ave. and State St. we observed a white Honda Accord bearing OH reg: in the north bound lane stopped at the traffic light hugging the white line. While sitting behind the vehicle we observed a white male passenger holding his head out appearing to look very intoxicated and could smell a strong odor of alcoholic beverage.

We proceeded through the intersection traveling north on S. Union Ave. We observed the rear license plate was inoperable. The driver turned west on to Hartshorn St. I activated my overhead lights to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle did not stop with the activation of my overhead lights, so I activated my siren two times. The vehicle came to a stop within the approach of the intersection of Hartshorn St. and Clark Ave.

As I approached the driver side of the vehicle I could smell a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from inside the vehicle. Upon contact with the driver, later identified as Cody Miller a 20-year-old male, I observed him to have glassy eyes. I informed Cody of the reason for the stop and asked where he was coming from. He said down the street down by Sheetz. I then asked Cody for his license and
Insurance card.

While retrieving his insurance card I noted the front seat passenger Benjamin Brownfield, a 19 year-old-male, was pale, glassy eyed and sick in the passenger seat and was intoxicated.

Cody proceeded to hand me his license, an expired insurance card and a tire invoice. I asked Cody if he had a valid insurance card. He began looking in his glove box and handed me another tire invoice. When I informed Cody it was another tire invoice and not his insurance he told me he was just nervous.

I asked Cody if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages. Cody stated, “No, sir.” I advised Cody that I smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from the vehicle.

I asked if Cody would be willing to submit to standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs) or a portable breath test. The driver agreed to perform the SFSTs.

Proceeding with the OVI investigation, the following SFST’s were performed.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus:

Cody advised that he has no medical conditions and does not wear glasses or contacts.

I checked both eyes for equal tracking and equal pupil size, both were normal.

Cody displayed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Cody had distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation with no white showing in both eyes. Cody had onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes.

Walk and Turn (imaginary line / concrete sidewalk)

Cody was instructed into the starting position for the walk and turn and was advised to hold that position while the test is being explained and demonstrated to him. While explaining the test, Cody did not hold the position he was instructed to hold at the start of the test. Cody was standing in a relaxed, natural stance with feet apart and arms at his sides. He was then instructed back into the starting position and began walking prior to being instructed to do so. Cody was stopped and told to hold the starting position while the instructions were being explained. After completion of the instructional phase, Cody took 9 heel to toe steps on the imaginary line, on his 5th step he missed a heel to toe step with a gap greater than one inch. On his 9th step he stopped and asked if he was supposed to turn around and failed to keep his front foot planted on his turn. Cody then took 9 heel to toe steps back without error. This concluded the walk and turn test.

One leg stand:

Cody was asked if he had any issues with his ankles, feet, or lower back that would prevent him from standing on one leg Cody stated no. Cody was instructed into the starting position and the test was explained to him. Cody was informed to begin the test while Ptl. Fidoe timed the test. Cody counted out loud and when he got to one thousand 12, he began to sway and lift his right arm to regain his balance, at this point he failed to keep his eyes on his elevated foot during the rest of the test. This concluded the one leg stand test.

Based on the results and observations, Cody was placed under arrest for OVI. During a search a vape pen was located in Cody’s right shorts pocket. Cody is under the legal age to possess a vape pen. During an inventory of Cody's vehicle Ptl. Hook located a fake Maryland drivers license inside the center console bearing a birth date of 08/08/2003. Cody admitted that the ID was his.

Upon arrival at the APD jail, Cody was read the BMV2255 form and after a 20 min observation period he provided a breath sample with a reading of .118 BAC. The test was performed by Ptl. Hook. Cody also provided a urine sample that was submitted into evidence for testing.

Cody was charged with OVI 4511.19A1A (M-1), OVI .08 Breath 4511.19A1D (M-1), OVI Urine .11 4511.19A1E (M-1) Underage Drinking 4301.69 (M-3). Cody was provided a court date with Alliance Municipal Court on 04/06/2026 at 1300 hours. Cody was released on a PR bond.

The vehicle was towed by Mel’s Towing.

On 04/01/2026, at approximately 2311 hrs, officers were dispatched to Applebee’s, located at 2600 W. State St., in reference to a private property crash. While en route, dispatch advised that a vehicle had driven into the front of the building, causing extensive damage. Upon arrival, officers observed a gold 2007 Mercury four-door sedan, Ohio registration, abandoned in the parking lot directly in front of the building. The vehicle was still running and both front doors were open.

Witnesses inside the restaurant advised that the driver, described as a Black male or female wearing a white sweater and black hat, exited the vehicle and ran northbound across W. State St. toward Lowe’s.

I relayed this information to responding units. Sgt. Tussey later located a subject matching the description in the rear lot behind Staples at approximately 2315 hrs. The subject was identified as Ashantae Pierce. When Sgt. Tussey approached Pierce, she threw a silver, red and blue Four Loko can containing alcohol onto the ground. Pierce was detained and read her Miranda rights, which she acknowledged.

While speaking with Pierce, I detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person. I also observed slurred speech and red, bloodshot eyes. Based on a witness identifying Pierce as the driver through her clothing description, Pierce was placed under arrest for Stopping After Accident and transported back to the scene in the rear of my cruiser, car #41. Pierce’s friend, was also present at the restaurant. Witnesses provided written statements regarding what they observed during the incident. Ptl. Reagan did talk to the manager at the restaurant, for camera footage of the incident and he advised that he would need to contact his supervisor's for the footage.

Pierce was subsequently transported to the Alliance City Jail for processing, and the vehicle was impounded by Mel’s Towing. Tow #2600132. While en route to the jail, Pierce admitted to me that she did operate the vehicle after her friend asked her to move it because it was “parked bad” and that she was attempting to “park it right.” Pierce further stated she did not possess a valid driver’s license, which was later confirmed through LEADS. While at the jail, Pierce admitted to consuming “a few shots” of alcohol.

Pierce was asked to perform three standardized field sobriety tests, which were recorded on my body-worn camera (POV). During the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, Pierce denied wearing glasses or contacts and denied any recent head injuries, stating she had a concussion more than a year ago. I observed equal pupil size and equal tracking in both eyes. During the test, I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. Totaling six clues.

Prior to the Walk and Turn test, Pierce denied any recent leg or back injuries. During the instruction phase, she broke her stance twice and had to be instructed to resume the proper position. Once the test began, Pierce counted “one” before actually taking her first step and counted her actual first step as “two,” ultimately taking eight steps on the first nine. During her first step she lost her balance, placed her right hand on the adjacent wall, and stated, “I can’t do it.” She was observed swaying on steps three, five, and eight, performed an improper turn then stepped off the line. Totaling five clues.

During the One-Leg Stand test, Pierce had to be repeatedly instructed to look at her raised foot which was her right, and to raise it higher off the ground. While counting aloud, she stated “one thousand seventeen” twice. No clues were observed during this test.

Pierce was read and shown the BMV 2255 form in the presence of Ptl. Andrade at approximately 0007 hrs. She voluntarily provided a breath sample on the Intoxilyzer 8000, which resulted in a reading of 0.196 BAC. Pierce also provided a urine sample, which was collected and sealed in her presence in compliance with department policy. Pierce was fingerprinted and photographed and later released from the jail on her own recognizance. She was provided copies of her breath test results, the BMV 2255 form, her OR bond paperwork, and traffic citations. Pierce was advised she was being charged with OVI 4511.19(A)(1)(A) M1, OVI .17 breath 4511.19(A)(1)(H) M1, OVI Urine 4511.19(A)(1)(I) M1, Operator’s License Required under 335.01 UC, Stopping After Accident M1, and Open Container
Prohibited under 529.07 MM.

She was advised of her mandatory court appearance at the Alliance Municipal Court on 04/06/2026 at approximately 1300 hrs. Pierce was placed under an administrative license suspension.

The liquid from the Four Loko can and the urine specimen provided by Pierce were placed into department property and will be submitted to the Stark County Crime Lab for further testing.

Other than initially being untruthful to me in the beginning, Pierce was polite and cooperative throughout the entire encounter.

No prior OVIs.

The temporary registration plate was placed in the rear window of the vehicle and was not visible from 50 feet away at night. The plate had no illumination and “OHIO” was partially covered by a black decal, making it hard to read which state the vehicle was registered in. The vehicle then pulled into the Alliance Super Wash at 931 E State St and turned its lights off. At this point in time, I believed the vehicle was potentially trying to evade me. I parked in the 1300 block of E State St in the College Plaza and waited for the vehicle to leave the car wash. The vehicle left the car wash approximately three minutes later and turned in the College Plaza. At this time, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle for the observed violations.

I approached the vehicle from the passenger side and observed the defendant, Joseph Harris, as the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle. I immediately observed the defendant had very red and bloodshot eyes. When I asked for the defendant's documents, he made fast erratic movements to hand them to me and continued to make fast movements while attempting to find the correct documents. I advised my reason for the traffic stop at this time. I asked the defendant why he pulled into the car wash after I got behind him and he stated he was going to clean out his car and wash it. The defendant was only at the car wash for approximately three minutes and never pulled into a car wash bay to wash his car. The defendant continued to look for his registration and bill of sale and attempted to show me insurance paperwork instead.

I asked the defendant to step out of the vehicle and walk to my patrol vehicle, and he complied. I asked if the defendant had taken any drugs or alcohol and he stated he only took Wellbutrin. I asked if he took anything else and he took a long pause and stated he smoked marijuana yesterday. The defendant moved his head in a jerking motion when Ptl. Yarian shined his light on him. The defendant advised he assumed we were going to conduct a sobriety test on him, without us ever mentioning we would. He advised I could search the vehicle. While searching the vehicle I found the following:

- A folded two-dollar bill with white powder inside (The powder field tested positive for Gabapentin. The defendant advised it was Gabapentin mixed with Flexeril) - found in a front driver’s side door compartment by the door handle

- A cut straw in a front driver’s side door compartment by the door handle and more throughout the vehicle

- Approximately 110 grams of marijuana inside of a black case in the front passenger’s seat

- A prescription bottle not registered in his name for the prescription “Gabapentin”

The defendant was detained in handcuffs after finding the white powder in the folded two-dollar bill. The defendant was advised of his Miranda Rights. He advised he understood them and was willing to talk to us. The defendant stated the cut straws were used for snorting and that the white powder inside of the two-dollar bill was a mixture of Gabapentin and Flexeril. The defendant stated he snorted the Gabapentin mixture at approximately 1900 hours on Sunday, approximately nine hours prior. The defendant later stated he smoked marijuana around 2000 hours.

The defendant was asked if he would complete Standard Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) and he advised he would. The test results are below:

HGN: 0/6 clues.

The defendant advised he wore bifocals, had type 2 diabetes, cataracts, and blurry vision. He advised that he could still focus on the tip of my finger. The defendant was taller than me and made it difficult to perform the test, so he was asked to sit on the front bumper of my vehicle. (Cannabis impairment does not show nystagmus)

He did not have nystagmus in his eyes during the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test. His eyes were very red and bloodshot during the test. He also struggled to keep his eyes open and had to be reminded not to move his head. The defendant’s eyes would make a twitch or jumping movement at random points during the test.

Walk and turn:

6/8 clues: Could not keep balance during the instruction phase, missed heel to toe steps (step 4 on first nine / steps 1 and 9 on second 9), stepped off line (step 2 on first 9), used arms for balance, improper turn, and wrong number of steps (10 steps on second nine – failed to count step 1).

One Leg Stand:

2/4clues: Used arms for balance / Swayed during test

Due to the totality of circumstances, the defendant was placed under arrest at 0520 hours. The defendant showed the following signs of impairment:

Fast / jerking movements, red bloodshot eyes, balance issues, Excited / fast talking, admittance to using Gabapentin and Marijuana, and failed SFSTs.

The defendant was placed under arrest for OVI – 4511.19A1A and 4511.19A1E (M1), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia – 2925.14C1 (M4), Possession of Dangerous Drugs – 4729.51E1C (M1), and Possession of Marijuana >100 grams and < 200 grams – 2925.11C3 (M4). The defendant was issued a citation for Display License Plates – 335.09A (MM). He was transported to the Alliance Police Department for processing.

The defendant was read and shown the consequences of test and refusal on the BMV2255 form per R.C. 4511.19. The defendant agreed to submit to chemical testing by submitting a urine sample. He was issued his citations, Recognizance Bond, and BMV2255 form. The defendant was advised that he is to appear at the Alliance Municipal Court on 03/01/2026 at 1300 hours.

The urine sample, marijuana, and white powder was submitted into evidence and sent to the Stark County Crime Lab for testing. The cut straws, two dollar bill, and prescription bottle were submitted into evidence.

On 03/29/2026, at approximately 0339 hours I responded to Circle K (633 N Union Ave, Alliance, Ohio) for an assault report. I arrived on scene and met with the victim. She advised she was assaulted by the defendant, Bryan Paugh, at 975 N Union Ave. The victim had visible bruises and red marks on her neck, and her ears were red and bleeding.

The victim advised Ptl. Fidoe of the incident. She stated the defendant shoved her head against the wall and ground, threw her by her hair, punched and kicked her multiple times, and bit her ears. She advised she had to punch the defendant in self-defense because she feared for her. The victim was transported to the Alliance Hospital for an assessment of her injuries. The victim had multiple bruises and scratches on her ears, face, neck, arms, shoulders, and back. Her ears were both bleeding, and the doctor advised her right ear had a tear from the defendant's bite. He also advised that she showed signs of a concussion. Pictures were taken of the victim's injuries and will be uploaded to Evidence.com.

I met with the defendant at 975 N Union Ave. The defendant's vehicle was sitting in his driveway, and he was positioned in the driver's seat. The defendant immediately started his vehicle when I made contact from the front passenger's side door. He refused multiple commands to turn off his vehicle and to stop reaching in his pockets. The defendant was given multiple commands to step out of the vehicle, and he refused. After refusing multiple lawful orders to step out of his vehicle, I attempted to remove the defendant from the vehicle. The defendant resisted but was ultimately pulled out of the vehicle and handcuffed. While handcuffing, I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his person.

The defendant denied assaulting the victim. He stated the victim was abusive and punched him in the face. The defendant advised that he never touched the victim, even in self-defense. He stated he was only trying to give her a ride home after an argument. This contradicts the victim's statement and does not explain how the victim received her injuries.

The defendant was placed under arrest for Obstructing Official Business - 2921.31 (M2) and Felonious Assault - 2903.11A1 (F2).

The defendant was transported to the Alliance Hospital for an assessment of his injuries. While at the hospital, the defendant refused to comply with police officers and hospital staff.

On 03-29-2026 at 1407hrs, I responded to Wally Armour at 1910 W. State St for a report of a two car crash involving a white car and a gray car.

Mrs. Warner also stated that whatever damage there was she would just pay for it.

While observing the damage to the vehicles, there was no damage or dirt disturbed on the rear bumper of Mrs. Warners vehicle that would indicate another vehicle had struck her.

337.27 SEAT BELT LAW MM

529.07 OPEN CONTAINER PROHIBITED MM

The arrest of the defendant, Ryan Jens Falck, was the result of a traffic stop. On 3/21/202 at approximately 0313 hrs. I was traveling southbound on S Union Ave in the 1600 block behind a black in color Chrysler Pacifica, bearing Ohio registration. I observed that the defendant was having difficulty maintaining his travel lane. The defendant crossed the double yellow center line on numerous occasions and for a distance was well over a foot across the center line. I activated my emergency lights and siren and conducted a traffic stop in the 1900 block of S Union Ave. The defendant pulled over into the right turn lane and stopped.

I contacted the defendant and advised him of the reason for the stop. I asked the defendant where he was coming from tonight. He told me that he was out Door Dashing. The defendant had difficulty answering the question and was slurring his words and mumbling. I immediately detected the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the defendant. I asked the defendant how much he had to drink. He stated “No”. I told him that I could smell it on him. He told me, “No Sir”. When asking him other questions, he was answering me with one-word responses that didn’t make sense at times.

I asked the defendant to step out of the vehicle. He did not comply. I had to tell him a few more times to step out of his vehicle, before he complied. Once he got out of his vehicle, I observed that he had difficulty getting and maintaining his balance. The defendant was having difficulty following instructions and had to be told several times what I needed him to do.

I told the defendant that I needed him to do some Field Sobriety Tests. The defendant started being non-verbal with me and wouldn’t acknowledge what I was asking him to do. I asked the defendant if he knew his alphabet. After a few seconds he told me, “Not backwards”. I told him that I did not need him to say them backwards but wanted him to start at the letter D and end at the letter W without singing them. The defendant started and stated “D, E, F, G”. He stopped and stared at me for some time. I asked him if he was done. He told me that he was concerned that my hands were shaking. I told him that it was fine, that I was just cold. I asked him if he was going to try again. After another pause, he began with “A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, R, Z”. The defendant was very deliberate when reciting the alphabet and stopped after he said a few letters, before continuing. I asked the defendant if he remembered where I asked him to start at. He told me that he didn’t, because I was cold. I told him that me being cold did not affect him, so I asked him if he knew his numbers. The defendant told me that he did not appreciate the “closed end questions” “yes and no”. I asked him what that had to do with this? He did not answer the questions. I asked the defendant to start at the number 67 and count down to the number 54. The defendant counted as instructed. He counted very slowly and paused between each number.

I asked the defendant if he had any issues with his eyes. He told me that he had undiagnosed nystagmus. I asked him if he wears glasses or had contacts in. He told me no to both. I explained the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test to the defendant. I checked the defendant’s eyes to ensure they were tracking equally and they were. I then started with the left eye and observed a lack of smooth pursuit in both his left and right eye. I then found that the defendant had a distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both his left and right eye. The defendant also had an onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both his left and right eye. I again confirmed with the defendant that he had not been drinking tonight. He told me, “Unless someone spiked his drink”.

I asked the defendant if he would be willing to take a portable breath test (PBT). The defendant did not answer and just stared at me. I went and got a PBT and asked the defendant again if he would be willing to take the test. The defendant again would not answer and told him that I needed a “yes or no”.

The defendant stated that he would think about it but again would not give a verbal response after that if he would take it or not.

I asked the defendant how long he had been Door Dashing. He told me since about 7 PM. I asked him if he knew what time it was now. He told me that it was about 2 AM. The actual time was 0327 hrs. I asked him if he had any issues with his back knees or anything like that. He told me that he did not.

I then explained and demonstrated the One Leg Stand test to the defendant. I asked the defendant if he had any questions and he said no. Once the defendant began the test, he placed his foot down on counts 2 and 4. The defendant was also swaying while balancing. Most of the 30 seconds of the test the defendant did not have his foot raised. After 30 seconds passed, the defendant was advised to stop.

The defendant was then placed into the starting stance for the Walk and Turn test. The defendant immediately began walking and had to be told to stop. The defendant was also having difficulty keeping his balance. The defendant was explained and showed an abbreviated version of the test.

The defendant was asked if he understood the instructions, which he stated he did, and was told to begin the test. When the defendant began the test he took a couple of steps and stopped. He failed to touch heal to toe and stepped off the line. Once he began again, the defendant failed to touch heal to toe on all 12 steps he took. He stepped off the line on steps 3 and 7. He used his arms, more than 6 inches, in an attempt to keep his balance. He turned improperly on the turning phase. On the return 9 steps he failed to touch heal to toe on all the 13 steps he took.

The defendant was asked if he wanted to submit to a PBT. The defendant would not give an answer. He was then placed under arrest for OVI. He was handcuffed behind his back, checked for fit and double locked. He was advised of his Miranda Rights and placed into the back seat of Car 49.

The defendant’s vehicle was towed to the City Impound Lot by Mel’s Towing. During an inventory of the vehicle officers located an open bottle of vodka in the vehicle. The majority of the vodka had been consumed. The bottle was taken as evidence. The contents were placed into a sample bottle to be sent to the Stark County Crime Lab for analysis. The bottle was photographed, pictures uploaded to evidence.com and was discarded.

The defendant was then transported to the Alliance City Jail. Once we arrived at the Jail the defendant was taken into the processing room and was read and shown the BMV 2255 form, witnessed by Ptl. Minich. At this time the defendant was requested to submit to a breath test and a urine test. The defendant would not tell me if he was willing to submit to a breath test. During this time the defendant just stared at me. The Intoxilizer 8000 timed out. The machine was set up again and the defendant was asked again if he was going to submit to the test. The defendant was also advised that if the machine timed out again that he would be processed as a refusal. The defendant again, would not advise if he would or would not submit to the test. The Intoxilizer again timed out and that defendant was process as a refusal. When asked if he would give a urine sample the defendant told me “No”.

After all the required paperwork was completed, the defendant was given a Recognizance Bond and advised of his mandatory court date of 3/25/2026 at1300 hrs. The defendant was issued a citation for 4511.19A1A, OVI, 331.08A, Driving in Marked Lanes of Travel, 337.27, No Seat Belt and a Minor Misdemeanor Citation for 529.07, Open Container in a Motor Vehicle. The defendant was released to a sober friend.

The defendant was photographed. However, due to his uncooperativeness and high level of intoxication he was not fingerprinted.

Ingledue was detained and mirandized. Additionally the bicycle was not registered with the Alliance Police Department as required per ORC 374.03.

Upon conversing with Ingledue I smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his person, slurred speech and he admitted to drinking 7-8 alcoholic drinks. I administered HGN test and observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes and bloodshot and glossy eyes. Ingledue was advised he was under arrest for OVI under ORC 4511.19 and was searched incident to arrest. Ptl. Reagan attempted to locate Sumpter, the owner on the bike, but was unable to locate him due to him not having a constant place of residence and no phone to contact him on. Further attempts will be made to locate Sumpter to inform him the his bicycle is at Mel's towing and to advise him that his bike was stolen.

The bicycle was towed by Mel's towing and a tow slip was completed by Ptl. Reagan.

Ingledue was transported to the Alliance City Jail for processing. Once at the jail an additional search of his person revealed a small plastic baggie of Approximately 1 gram of Methamphetamine located in his left sock. The substance was field tested in the Jail by Ptl. Rhome and was positive for Methamphetamine.

Once in the jail SFST's were preformed inside to avoid harsh road and weather conditions in consideration for Ingledues well being. The HGN test was completed again for the sake of structure and compliance. The results were as follows.

HGN: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, bloodshot and glossy eyes. Swaying while standing. Ingledue had to be corrected to follow the stimulus with his eyes only multiple times.

OLS: Puts foot down. Failed to correctly count out loud as instructed. Had to be instructed multiple times to keep foot parallel to the ground and 6 inches off of the ground. This test was not completed as instructed.

W&T: Did not count steps out loud as instructed. Missed heel to toe multiple times. Stepped off line. Stopped walking.

I read Ingledue the BMV 2255 in the presence of Ptl Rhome. Ingledue agreed to give a breath sample and urine sample. Ptl. Rhome administered the breath sample utilizing the Intoxilyzer 8000 resulting in a test result of 0.095 g/210L. I collected the urine sample in a clear sterile plastic cup with a screw on lid It was logged as evidence and placed in the evidence refrigerator. Ingledue signed the BMV 2255.

Once processed Ingledue was transported to the Stark County Jail with a copy of his citation, a copy of the BMV 2255 and a copy of the Intoxilyzer results.

Ingledue was charged under 4511.19 OVI- OPERATING WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE , ORD 331.19 OPERATION OF VEHICLE AT STOP SIGNS and ORC 2925.11 POSSESSION OF DRUGS - METHAMPHETAMINE.

Ingledue was placed under ALS suspension into LEADS and the urine sample and Methamphetamine were logged as evidence and marked to be sent to the Stark County Crime Lab for chemical testing.

On 03/11/2026, at approximately 1620 hours, Dispatch advised that the defendant Joseph W Donaldson, was at Roy's Car Wash and Lube and appeared to be intoxicated and was about to leave. The caller stated that the defendant was slurring his words and had an open container in his car. While I was responding to the area, the caller called back and stated the male had left and turned eastbound in a light blue Ford Escape bearing Ohio registration.

After stopping at Roy's and speaking with employees, they stated that the defendant had almost struck one of them with his vehicle. They also stated that the defendant almost drove his vehicle into the oil change pit. The employees described the defendant as approximately a 50-year-old white male with short gray hair and glasses.

While searching the area, I located the vehicle in the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings at 310 W State St., Alliance, Ohio 44601.

As I pulled into the parking lot, I observed a male matching the description given to me getting out of the vehicle. I allowed the defendant to exit the vehicle and walk away so that I could observe his gait. I asked the defendant if the vehicle was his, and he stated that it was. I then asked the defendant if he had anything to drink today. He stated that he had a drink around 1000 hours. The defendant admitted to driving from Roy’s.

I asked the defendant if, when I looked through the window of his vehicle, I would see any open beer containers inside. The defendant responded, "There shouldn't be. I've got a couple in a plastic bag." I then advised him to sit at the front of my cruiser while I looked into the vehicle. When I looked through the driver's window, I observed a tall open Busch Light with visible condensation on the can.

The defendant was identified as Joseph Donaldson. I asked the defendant to perform a few tests for me. He stated that he could not stand on one leg because he has a bad knee, a bad hip, and a bad liver. I advised the defendant at that time that I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from him. The defendant shrugged this off.

I asked the defendant if he knew the alphabet. He immediately began to recite "A, B, C." I then asked him to recite the alphabet beginning with the letter D and ending with the letter W without singing. The defendant immediately responded with "Y, X, Z." After the defendant stopped, I asked him what I had instructed him to do. He responded by saying, "Not sing." I informed the defendant that this was not what I had asked him to do and once again instructed him to recite the alphabet beginning with D and ending with W. The defendant stated that he thought I said Z. After explaining the directions a third time, I gave the defendant another chance. The defendant began reciting, stating, "F… that's a little hard… F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P. Where did you want me to stop?" I advised him that he needed to pay attention to the directions I had given him. The defendant then said, "W, X… I don't remember where to stop."

I then asked the defendant if he knew his numbers. He stated that he did. I instructed him to start at 69 and count backwards to 53. The defendant was able to count backwards from 69 to 57 with some minor difficulty but no errors. He then asked, "What letter… what number did you want?" I informed the defendant again that he needed to pay attention to the instructions.

I asked the defendant if he was willing to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. He stated that he was willing. After asking the required medical screening questions, I began by checking the defendant for Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. After checking for equal pupil size and equal tracking, I began testing for lack of smooth pursuit. While checking both eyes, there was clear and distinct nystagmus in both eyes.

I then moved to checking for distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation. Both eyes displayed very clear and distinct nystagmus. I then checked for onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, at which point the defendant displayed distinct nystagmus at approximately 25 degrees. After observing all clues in both eyes, I concluded the test.

The defendant stated that he could not perform the Walk and Turn or One Leg Stand tests due to medical limitations.

The defendant was advised that at this time he was being placed under arrest for Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence (OVI). I placed the defendant in handcuffs and secured him in the back of my cruiser while I inventoried his vehicle prior to it being towed.

The only items removed from the vehicle were his wallet, phone, and keys. The defendant requested that these items be given to his friend, Kacey Rohaley.

The open can of Busch Light was also removed. A sample of the liquid was placed into a sample jar to be sent to the Stark County Crime Lab for testing to verify that it was Busch Light. The can was photographed before being discarded so that the photograph could be logged into evidence.

Once Mel's Towing arrived on scene and removed the vehicle, I transported the defendant to the Alliance Police Department for processing.

Upon arrival at the Alliance Police Department, after intake of the defendant was completed, he was placed in a holding cell so that I could read the BMV 2255 form. Patrolman Binkley witnessed this.
