Case #22-007115

TRAFFIC - SR62 / South 15th Street

Cited: Jared Lyons, age 30, 2333 South Arch Avenue Alliance, Ohio

Charge: SCO 333.03 Speed(75/55)

At 0155 hours I, Patrolman Peterman #506, was performing saturation patrol traveling westward on SR 62 when I observed a motorcycle traveling eastward at a very high rate of speed.

Upon observation, I activated my vehicle mounted radar, and observed a speed of 85 and was still going up when I locked the radar in, and receiving a cleat and audible signal. I safely performed a U-turn while activating my emergency lights and audible siren.

The motorcycle stopped and pulled over near South 15th Street. I approached the vehicle, and called out the plate(JOG31) to dispatch. I exited my marked cruiser #303, and approached the operator of the motorcycle, Jared Lyons, and advised him of the stop.

Jared was respectful to me, and advised he had just purchased the bike, and was "testing it out". I asked Jared for is license and documentation, and he was able to procure me with said documents. Dispatch advised me that Jared was still under a motorcycle novice endorsement, and was required to be wearing a helmet until 10/07/2022. I reproached Jared and advised him that I would be cutting him a break, and giving him a warning for the helmet violation, and for his speed he would receive a citation for 75, instead of 85 in a 55mph zone.

I returned to my marked cruiser and wrote Jared on citation #032028 for speed SCO 333.03, advised Jared of his choices on how to contest the citation or pay it, then released Jared from the traffic stop.

I then cleared without further incident.

Charges:

ORC 4513.05 Taillights-Illuminating White to the Rear

Court: MCC #3 07/28/2022 @ 0900A.M.

On 07/22/2022 @ 0007 hours I was performing patrolling duties east bound on the 200 block of East Ohio Avenue when I observed a white Chevrolet bearing license plate HQQ4573 with a broken taillight that displayed a white light to the rear when it came to a stop at the traffic light on East Ohio Ave. and North l2th Street.

I ran the license plate through dispatch and was advised the owner of the vehicle also had a suspended license. I then activated my emergency lights and audible siren of marked cruiser #304, making a traffic stop with the vehicle on North 12' Street, near East Wisconsin Avenue. The vehicle came to a slow stop, eventually stopping near the north end of the village limits.

Ptl. Ray #508 arrived on scene as well at this time.

I advised dispatch of the stop, and approached the passenger side of the vehicle. I identified myself, and the reason for the stop of the broken taillight illuminating the white light to the rear. The driver, identified as the registered owner Alyssa Smith, states she knew of the damaged taillight. I then advised Alyssa she was also coming hack in our system as suspended. Alyssa stated to me she had her privileges on her, and procured a tattered document stating she was given driving privileges through Portage County. Upon speaking with dispatch, it was identified that she was suspended through Mahoning county, as well as Portage County.

I asked Sgt. Kelm #SO3 to come to the traffic stop as well, with him arriving a short time later. After speaking with the supervisor, it was determined that the vehicle wou9d be towed, and Alyssa be notified of her privileges being revoked. After telling Alyssa she would be receiving a citation for the suspension, and the vehicle be towed Alyssa became very verbally abusive towards officers, cursing at officers on several occasions. I advised Alyssa to grab any belongings she would need, and to call for a ride for her and her child. I returned to my cruiser and wrote a citation on #032027 for DUS(FRA) ORC 4510.11, and Taillights-Illuminating white light to rear ORC 4513.05. I approached the vehicle as Alyssa was grabbing her belongings, and I advised Alyssa of her citations. Alyssa stated she was refusing to sign, and I printed "Refused to sign" on the signature block of the citation.

Sgt. Kelm then cleared the scene.

Robert Uyselt arrived on scene to pick up Alyssa and her child as Springers Towing arrived for the vehicle. I handed Alyssa the copy of her citation, and of her mandatory court date of 07/28/2022. Alyssa took the citation, crumpled it into her hand, and appeared to throw it.

As I was about to perform a property inventory, Alyssa shouted to officers that she did not consent to any searches. I advised Alyssa that it was a property inventory, and she left the scene with Robert. After Springers Towing cleared, Officers cleared without further incident.

At 19:11 hours on 07-22-2022 , Ptl. Brindack, Sgt. Kelm and I, Det. Reed, went to 755 W. Tennessee Avenue in an attempt to locate Jacob Fullerton.

Upon arriving to the residence, contact was made with Jacob's mother as well as her boyfriend in the driveway. Both said that Jacob was in the residence in an upstairs bedroom. Consent was received to enter the residence, with the three of us going inside and making contact with Jacob in his upstairs bedroom. I immediately secured Jacob in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked. I informed Jacob of his warrant as well as the nature of the charge before searching him incident to arrest. I also read him his Miranda Rights, which he said that he understood.

Jacob was then placed in the back of car #304, before being transported to The Sebring Police Department.

Once on station, he was photographed, his DNA collected, and the necessary paperwork for commitment to jail completed.

I then transported Jacob to The Mahoning County Justice Center.

Due to Jacob's behavior during the booking process, medical staff at the jail denied him and requested that a psychological assessment be completed before he be taken into their facility. Because of this I took
Jacob to St. Elizabeth's Health Center, with a psychological assessment being performed and it being determined that he was not a threat to himself. I then returned to the jail where Jacob was taken into their custody. NFI.

On 01/11/2022 this unit observed 2 individuals sitting on a bench in the South Side Park after dark.

Officer Ray #508 01/11/2022

On 01/11/2022, I, Officer Ray, was patrolling west Texas near the South Side Park, when I observed a male walking through the grass.

2 weeks prior I observed the same male walking through the park. The male was wearing a very distinct winter jacket, that I was able to identify both times. The jacket has a triangle geometric pattern with red, white, and blue colors. I turned my cruiser around in the parking lot for the tennis court.

I observed the male sitting on a picnic table with another individual. I stopped my cruiser in front of the community center.

As I exited my cruiser I heard the male yell something to me, but I was unable to make out what was said. As I approached the two individuals they stood up from the bench, and approached me. The male asked me "is there any place we can go that is not the park. She works at Copeland, and I meet her on breaks".

I stated to them that there is not too many places they can meet. I stated to the male that the two of them were trespassing, and that if everything came back ok I would let them sit at the park. At this point I asked them both if they had a drivers license. Both stated no. I asked the male if he knew what his social was. He gave me his social, but was very hesitant to provide that information.

His tone of voice, and body language made me suspicious. The male provided his name as Daniel Allmon. Next I asked the female for her social.

Without hesitation she provided the numbers plus her name, Caitlin Stump. Due to not being able to run socials over the radio I had to return to my cruiser to retrieve my phone. After retrieving my phone I contacted dispatch.

Due to the fact that the bench they were sitting at plus the distance I was away from the individuals I did not observe Daniel walking into the woods.

Dispatch advised me that Daniel had a warrant out of Trumbull County, and that they would take him. I approached the bench again, and observed only Caitlin sitting there. Caitlin stated to me that Daniel had walked away stating "he said he needed to pick his kids up." I asked Caitlin where he would be going, and she stated "I don't know, Salem". At this point I advised dispatch that the male had left. I requested assistance from Smith Township. We searched the area for Daniel, but were unable to locate.

Sgt. Kelm had started his shift, and we met at Royal Star. I advised Sgt. Kelm that the party possibly works at Copeland. Both units went to Copeland in an attempt to locate her.

Upon our arrival we made contact with an employee at the front desk to Copeland. She called the nursing stations, and she was able to locate the female at Crandall. We went over to Crandall, and we located Caitlin on the second floor. I asked Caitlin what she knew about Daniel, and she stated "not much". She continued to state that they are dating, and that she has not seen him in months. At this point I stated that I saw them both together 2 weeks ago. I continued by asking what Daniel's address was. Caitlin stated that she did not know. Realizing that Caitlin could / would not help us both units cleared.

Upon arriving back to Sebring PD it was made known to both units that Caitlin and Daniel share a residence at 825 Wade Ave in alliance. While on station I ran Daniel's social through OHLEG. I was able to see his BMV picture. and was able to identify that it was in fact the male I made contact with in the park.

Nothing further at this time. On my next shift I will speak to the prosecutor about getting warrants on Daniel for trespassing and obstruction.

Cited: Sierra Harris, 19, 236 Alabama Ave. Apt # 10, Sebring, OH

Charges:
SCO: 335.09 Display of License Plates (MM)
SCO: 335.01 Driver License Required

At 11:01 hours on 05-30-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While eastbound in the 300 block of E. Oregon Avenue, I observed a blue Ford Escape, that was traveling in front of me, fail to signal within 100 feet of the intersection before turning right onto N. 12th Street. As I followed behind the vehicle, I also noted that there was no registration visible. Once the vehicle crossed the railroad tracks, I activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop.

Once I was able to get within approximately 15 feet of the vehicle, I was able to noticed an Ohio Temporary Registration (P213593) in the back window. Due to how dark the window was I was not able to see the correct numerics until I had exited my vehicle. I then approached and made contact with the driver, who identified herself as Sierra M. Harris. I asked Sierra for her driver license, as well as informed her of the reason for the stop. Sierra said that she was just in a hurry to get home, and that she did not have her driver license on her. When I asked if she had a valid driver license she said that she did and that she just didn't have it with her.

After obtaining Sierra's name, date of birth, and the last four of her social security number, I returned to my patrol car where I relayed the information to dispatch. At this time, it was discovered that Sierra did not have a valid driver license, with her only having a temporary learners permit.

I then returned to Sierra's vehicle, where I informed her of this. Sierra said that she knew that she needed a valid driver with her and that she was just trying to go home. She also late admitted to me that she did not have insurance on the vehicle.

I then returned to my patrol car, where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032288. I cited Sierra for Driver License Required (SCO:335.01)) as well as Display of license Plates (SCO:335.09). Sierra was instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on when to appear for her mandatory court appearance. She signed her citation, and was given her copy.

Several minutes later, Subject arrived, who was determined to have a valid driver license, and rode with Sierra away from the scene. Nothing additional to report at this time.

On 28May22 While on Patrol in the Sebring Police Department I observed a Blue 1998 Dodge Neon(HWU5836) pull into the Sebring Police Department parking lot at 135 E Ohio Ave. I then received a call from Dispatch to come to the Police Station for a possible Domestic.

Upon arrival I , (Ptl. Melendez), made contact with Deborah Durm  in the Sebring PD lobby.

While speaking to Durm she advised that her husband punched out her car window. I then asked if she could fill out a statement while I went to her residence to speak to her husband.

Upon arrival at the Durm residence 173 E Maryland Ave Benjamin walked out of his residence and advised me that he did in fact break the car window because he did not want his wife driving under the influence since she had just smoked Methamphetamine prior to getting in the vehicle. Benjamin advised that he had been arguing with his wife because she was driving around under the influence and he wanted her to stay at the residence once they had arrived home.

Sebring Fire was also contacted for a cut Benjamin sustained from breaking the window out.

I then cleared and returned back to the Sebring Police department to continue speaking with Deborah. I also requested Sgt. Starr of the Smith Township Police Department to meet me at Sebring PD. While speaking to Deborah I observed that her pupils were very constricted and her speech was slurred.

CHARGES:
4511.22A Slow Speed - Impeding Traffic
4510.11A DUS (Court)
4503.11 Expired Registration
4549.08 Fictitious Tag

On 5/17/2022 at approx. 0145 1 observed a black Pontiac Torrent back out of a driveway and head EB on RT. 62 in front of me between Johnson rd & 15th St.

The vehicle was traveling at a low speed for the roadway and when the driver noticed me behind them they made an abrupt turn into a residence to the left with little warning. The driver turned off all the lights on the vehicle.

I know the vehicle did not belong to that residence because I was just there with Smith TWP the night prior.

The resident there has been having issues with another party so I called PTL. Rhome of Smith TWP PD. I turned into Western Reserve Auto and observed the vehicle back up with no lighting on except the brake lights and reverse lights. They then turned the lights on and reversed into the roadway in front of another vehicle traveling the speed limit (55 MPH). The vehicle was able to brake and not strike the Pontiac. They headed WB back into the village limits on 62, traveling 35 MPH in a 55 MPH zone obstructing traffic. I followed.

When the vehicle approached the parking lot of the Oak Ridge Motel, they slowed to a near stop and made an abrupt turn into the parking lot and parked across two spaces.

I initiated my emergency lights and pulled up behind the vehicle. The reverse lights of the vehicle came on and the driver's door opened. I called for an additional unit and PTL. Rhome responded. I ordered the driver back into the vehicle twice as he argued stating he was just looking for a room.

Upon making a passenger side approach to the vehicle, I noticed the expiration sticker did not look right on the vehicle. I spoke to the driver and passenger. Their story did not add up about why they seemed to be attempting to evade me or the slow speed. They stated they were lost looking for a place to stay when they have established residency in Alliance and Canton.

PTL. Rhome arrived and he gathered information from the driver and passenger and they advised they were both suspended. Due to the driver's (Jacob) driving behavior and the odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle I asked him to step out. He complied, stating that the passenger, (Morgan Thomas), was the one that was drinking. He agreed to complete SFSTs.

I turned off the front facing flashing lights of my patrol car and completed SFSTs with no signs of impairment.

After questioning who's vehicle it was and if they had the registration, they stated they did not have the registration but it was Morgan's Father's vehicle. The plate returned to Roger Thomas but it was expired and registered to a 2006 Ford which did not match. Upon closer inspection of the plate it was discovered that the expiration sticker was homemade and hand written poorly.

The VIN number was then given to dispatch and it returned expired to the driver. Springer's was notified to tow the vehicle.

The driver was cited for the slow speed, DUS, and the expired registration as well as the fictitious plate.

An inventory was completed of the vehicle and was noted on a tow sheet, signed by the tow operator.

The occupants were picked up by Roger Thomas.

After the vehicle was towed, I cleared.

Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 52 MPH.

As the vehicle approached closer, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, allowed the truck to pass me, and then turned around to initiate a traffic stop. The truck, a 2011 Ford F-350 bearing Ohio Registration PKA 8853, came to a stop at the village limits.

Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed him of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.

As the vehicle approached closer, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights. Once the vehicle passed me, I turned the patrol car around, and initiated a traffic stop.

CHARGES:
2925.11 DRUG POSSESION
2925.12 POSS OF DRUG ABUSE INSTRUMENTS


On this date at around 22:30 while on patrol I noticed a suspicious vehicle a blue Toyota bearing OH HXX9140 parked behind the library 195 W Ohio Ave. which at the time was closed. Initially it appeared the vehicle was unoccupied however as I used the spotlight in my patrol car to illuminate the vehicle I noticed to individuals who were reclined in the car stick their heads up. I made contact with the two identified as Justin D Joplin and Kimberly N Narney both out of Akron and informed them of the reason for our interaction and asked them what they were doing at the closed library. Justin advised they were using the wifi at the library.

At this point Det. Reed arrived and we asked Kimberly if she would be willing to exit the vehicle and speak with us separately. Kimberly agreed and exited and started speaking with me. She advised a similar story and they were in Sebring to help a friend who had just moved to town.

At this point Ptl. Peterman arrived and continued speaking with Kimberly. I joined Det. Reed and began speaking with Justin who was still seated in the vehicle as we were speaking with him Det. Reed and I noticed several items commonly associated with the use of narcotics, including torch lighters and a stick that could be used for a pipe. We asked Justin for consent to search the vehicle and he said there is nothing in here except this at which point he willing produced a small green bad which had marihuana residue in it.

At this point we advised Justin to exit the vehicle and began a search of the vehicle for further contraband.

In the bag belonging to Kimberly we located a "shoot up kit" which included 3 syringes, a make shin tourniquet made from a phone charger and several other misc. items. we also located a small glass jar with white residue which Kimberly indicated was Meth. We also located a bag of marijuana and numerous items of marijuana paraphernalia. Kimberly also willingly showed us a bag in the trunk which contained a glass smoking pipe used for the inhalation of methamphetamine and plastic tubing which she said is used attach to the pipe "incognito" smoking while in public places.

Due to Kimberly being so cooperative I opted to not arrest her on scene and to issue summons for her to appear in court. Kimberly will be issued a summons for 2925.12 drug abuse instruments and the jar with residue will be sent out for testing. No charges will be filed concerning the marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia.

At 20:09 hours on 05-10-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While stationary in the parking lot of B.L. Miller Elementary School, located at 506 W. Virginia Avenue, I observed a dark gray Kia sedan traveling eastbound in the 600 block of W. Virginia Avenue. The vehicle began rapidly accelerating, to a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posted 25 MPH speed limit. Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I observed a speed of 38 MPH on the device's digital readout. The vehicle then began to slow as it approached the stop sign at N. 20th Street and W. Virginia Avenue, with a locked speed of 32 MPH being obtained.

The vehicle then turned right, going southbound on N. 20th Street. At this point I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle, a gray Kia Forte, bearing Ohio Registration HLQ 7357, came to a stop just before the Nazarene Church.

Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, he immediately said "I know why you're stopping me". When I asked the driver why he was driving the way he was in a residential neighborhood, he said that he had just finished working on his car and was "making sure it was alright". I then requested his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The driver produced an Ohio Driver License, that showed him to be Ronald W. Gehring, as well as proof of insurance, but said that he did not have his registration in the vehicle.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032284. I cited Gehring for speed (SCO: 333.03), for going 38 MPH in a marked 25 MPH zone. I then returned to Gehring's vehicle where he signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 within the next several business days for instructions on how to either pay for the citation or contest it if he wished to do so.

TRAFFIC - 100 Block E. Oregon Ave. Sebring, OH

Cited: Jerry Quinn, 80, 206 E. Wisconsin Ave. Sebring, OH

Charge: SCO: 333.08 Operation W/O Reasonable Control

At 1657 hours on 05-09-2022, I was dispatched to a report of a motor vehicle crash in front of The Oregon Pub, located at 135 E. Oregon Ave. Upon arriving to the scene, I observed a white Chrysler 2005, bearing Ohio Registration CRK 3625, that had sideswiped a green Chevrolet Silverado, bearing Ohio Registration JJK 1339. Both vehicles were in the eastbound lane of travel, with the green Silverado being parked along the roadside. I also noted that the incident occurred directly in front of 125 E. Oregon Avenue, and not the Oregon Pub as originally relayed.

Upon exiting my vehicle, I made contact with the involved parties, who were standing beside the vehicles. The driver of the Chrysler 200 was a Jerry Lee Quinn. Also present was Jenifer Brooks, the registered owner of the Silverado, and Thomas Brooks. In speaking with Jennifer and Thomas, they informed me that they were sitting on the porch at 125 E. Oregon Avenue, and that they witnessed Jerry travel off of the roadway and strike Jennifer's truck. As I spoke with Jennifer and Thomas, I noted that Jerry's Chrysler had disabling damage. The passenger side front tire had nearly been pulled from the vehicle when it hit the truck.

I did photograph the scene and damage to the vehicles at this time.

I then began speaking with Jerry, who informed me that he had become distracted when he seen Jennifer and Thomas's granddaughter run off of the porch of the residence that they were at. Jerry said that he believed the child was going to run onto the roadway, and that this pulled his attention away from driving, causing him to leave the roadway and strike the parked truck.

I then requested identification from all involved parties, as well as insurance information. Jerry was able to produce an Ohio Driver License as well as a valid Nationwide Insurance Card. Jerry also asked me to call Sebring Tire to have his vehicle towed from the scene. It should be noted that while I was speaking with Jerry, I asked him if he had consumed any alcohol or anything that would inhibit his ability to operate a motor vehicle. Jerry said that he had not, and no indicators of impairment were observed. Jennifer was able to produce an Ohio Driver License, with her telling me that she did not have valid insurance on her vehicle.

Thomas provided me with an Ohio Identification Card.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032283. I cited Jerry for Operation Without Reasonable Control (SCO: 333.08). Jerry signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 within the next several business days for instructions on how to contest the citation or pay it if he wished to do so. Sebring Tire then arrived and towed the vehicle to their lot.

Once Sebring Tire arrived and towed the vehicle, I cleared from the call. I did provide Jerry with a courtesy ride back to his residence. NFI.

As the vehicle passed by me, I pulled onto the roadway, activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. The white Nissan NV-200, bearing New Jersey Registration Z64LSL, then crossed N. Johnson Road before pulling over and stopping. Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed him of the reason for the stop as well as asked him if he was aware of his speed. The driver then stated "I thought it was 40 in through here". I explained to him that the speed limit was clearly marked at 35 MPH, and even if it was 40 MPH, he would still have been exceeding the speed limit by 12 MPH. I then requested his driver license, proof of insurance, as well as vehicle registration. The driver was able to produce the requested documentation with his Ohio Driver License showing him to be Dylan Jeffrey Joseph Householder.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032281. I cited Householder for speeding (SCO: 333.03), for going 52 in a marked 35 MPH zone.

Court MCC #3 05-05-2022 @ 09:00

At approximately 20:20 hours on 04-30-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304.

While sitting in the driveway of the police station, located at 135 E. Ohio Avenue, I observed a black Pontiac G6 that was traveling westbound on Ohio Avenue at an unusually slow speed. The vehicle then turned right onto N. 15th Street, before pulling into a driveway in the 300 block of N. 15th. I then went to the Huntington Bank building, located at 146 E. Ohio Avenue, where I parked to continue conducting traffic enforcement.

Several minutes later, I observed the same black Pontiac, this time turning left onto Ohio Avenue from N. 15th Street. As the vehicle drove past me, I noticed that the exhaust was extremely loud. I then pulled onto the roadway, activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. I noted that the vehicle was slow to stop, with it finally stopping in the 200 block of E. Ohio Avenue.

Upon approaching the black 66, bearing Ohio Resistration JIF 7287, I made contact with the driver. I informed him of the reason for the stop as well as requested his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The driver was only able to produce his Ohio Driver License, which showed him to be Eric M. Greathouse. I also at this point noted that despite it being after sunset, Greathouse was wearing sunglasses.

In addition to speaking with Greathouse, I spoke with the vehicle's passenger, Matthew Krohn, with him also providing me with his identification.

After determining that Greathouse had a valid driver license, I returned to his vehicle. Pt. Russell had arrived to my location at this time as well. At this point, I asked Greathouse for consent to search his vehicle. Greathouse granted this request, with him going to the rear of the vehicle along with Krohn.

As I began my search of the vehicle, I located a 12oz can of Milwaukee's Best Light in the center console. The can was approximately 1/8 full and cold to the touch. What appeared to be beer was filling the bottom of the center console. The rest of the search yielded no further contraband.

I then asked Greathouse how long the can had been in the vehicle, and how much he had drank this evening. Greathouse stated "too much". He also then said that he was joking, and that he had only consumed two beers earlier in the evening. As I approached closer to Greathouse, I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage, emanating from his person. Ptl. Russell also noted this. At this point, I asked Greathouse if he was willing to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST'S), with him agreeing to do so. Ptl. Russell then walked with Greathouse and I to the front of my patrol car, where the frontfacing lightbar was turned off. I asked Greathouse if he had any issues with his eyes or took any prescription medications. Greathouse said yes, he takes Prozac. He also said that he wears contact lenses, and that they sometimes "pop out".

I then began the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test. Using my flashlight in a downward angle for illumination, I held my right pointer finger approximately 12" from Greathouse's eyes. I instructed Greathouse to focus on and to follow my finger with his eyes, his eyes only, and not to move his head.

At this point I noted no resting nystagmus. I then noted that both eyes tracked equally. As I continued the test, in both eyes, I noted lack of smooth pursuit, onset of nystagmus prior to 45degrees, as well as distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximums deviation.

I then began the Walk-and-Turn Test. I instructed Greathouse to put his right foot in front of his left foot, keep his arms at his side, and not to begin the test until instructed to do so, seeing as I was going to demonstrate it for him first. I then instructed Greathouse that on my command, he is to take nine heel-to-toe steps along an imaginary straight line, counting out loud, before turning and walking nine, heel-to-toe steps back. I also clearly demonstrated how to pivot on the ninth step. During the instructional phase of the test, I had to reiterate not to start until instructed to do so no less than five times, this being because Greathouse continued attempting to perform the test without being told to.

Once he was given the command to start the test, I noted that Greathouse stepped off the line, struggled to maintained balance, did not count the steps out loud, as well as did not touch heel-to-toe.

I then began the One-Leg-Stand Test. I instructed Greathouse to keep his arms at his side, and that on my command to take the foot of his choosing, lift it six inches off of the ground, while counting in a onethousand-one, one-thousand-two fashion until told to stop.

Upon being instructed to begin, Greathouse began swaying, struggling to maintain his balance, and was unable to perform the test. At this point, I informed him that he was under arrest for OVI. Greathouse was secured in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked, before being secured in the back f,car 304. It should be noted that Ptl. Russell witnessed all SFST'S as they were being performed.

Sebring Tire was then called to tow the vehicle to their impound lot. The Ohio State Highway Patrol was also summoned to perform the breathalyzer test. Once back on station, 1 read the BMV 2255 Form to Greathouse, with him following along and signing it afterwards. Trooper Joshua Yeager, of the Lisbon Post of The Ohio State Highway Patrol then arrived on station to perform the breathalyzer test. After completing the test, Greathouse was found to have a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.255. Greathouse also provided a urine specimen for lab analysis.

Greathouse was then fingerprinted and photographed. He received Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032279, which listed his charges of OVI (ORC: 4511,19(A)(l)(a)), OVI High Tier (ORC: 4511.19(A)(l)(h), as well as loud exhaust (ORC: 4513.22). In addition to this, Greathouse received Minor Misdemeanor Citation No. 000265 for open container (ORC: 4301.62). Greathouse signed all of his citations, received his copies, and was informed of his mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:OO on May 5,2022.

It was also made explicitly clear to Greathouse that his driver license was under an Administrative
License Suspension until at least his first court appearance. After being processed, Greathouse was released on a $1,000.00 own recognizance bond. Amanda Thacker arrived to take him home and ensure that he made it safely. Nothing additional to report at this time.

CITED: Eugene Dieffenbaugher, 45, 9532 Middlebranch Ave. NE Canton, OH

Charge: ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (OVI)

At 19:17 hours on 04-30-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While patroling in the 300 block of E. Indiana Avenue, approaching the intersection of N. 13th Street, I conducted a random registration check on a white Pontiac G6, bearing Ohio Registration HQB 8090, that was traveling in front of me. Immediately after relaying the vehicle's information, I noted that it failed to signal within 100 feet of turning at the intersection of E. Indiana Avenue and N. 141h Street. This being as the vehicle made a right turn at that intersection.

Upon seeing this, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. I was also advised by dispatch at this time that the vehicle was registered to a Eugene K. Dieffenbaugher, whose driving status was suspended and who had an active warrant out of Stark County. The suspension was an OVI suspension and that warrant was for county of want only.

The vehicle came to a stop on N. 14th Street at E. Virginia Avenue. Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver, who identified himself as Eugene Dieffenbaugher. I informed Oieffenbaugher of the reason for the traffic stop as well as asked him to turn the vehicle off and exit. Dieffenbaugher complied with this request, with him also allowing me to pat him down and search his pockets. No weapons or contraband was located during this search.

I then requested Dieffenbaugher's driver license and proof of insurance, with him telling me that he did not have insurance on the vehicle and also didn't have a driver license card.

I then instructed Dieffenbaugher to remain outside of the vehicle, while I returned to my patrol car to write his citation. Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032278 was then issued to Dieffenbaugher, who was cited for driving under suspension (OVI). Diefenbaugher signed the citation, was given his copy, and informed of his mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 on May 05,2022.

Sebring Tire was then called, with an inventory of the vehicle being performed. No items of value were located. Due to Dieffenbaugher driving while under an OVI suspension, a hold was placed on the vehicle until his court appearance, with him being informed of this. Diffenbaugher was then released from the stop.

Sebring Tire arrived and towed the vehicle to their impound lot, with me clearing afterwards.

On 04/30/2022, I Officer Ray, was sitting in the Huntington Parking lot observing the intersection of Ohio and 15th. As a silver Saturn was passing by me, I observed what appeared to be an expired sticker (yellow) on the rear plate of the vehicle. I put my cruiser in drive, and followed the vehicle in an attempt to verify that the plate was expired. As we neared the intersection of Ohio and 12th Street, I observed the vehicle to not have a plate light. I activated my overhead lights, and the vehicle came to a stop in front of the court house. As I approached the vehicle, I observed that the plate sticker was in fact expired. Showing from October 2021.

I approached the vehicle from the passenger side, identified who I was, and the reason for the stop. The driver was identified as Heather Bell. Heather stated that the registration was not expired due to her not having a birthday in 2022 yet. I attempted to explain to her that the registration expires the year that is listed, and not the following year. Heather did not understand that concept. Heather then stated that the registration was renewed, and that the sticker was what the BMV gave her. I advised Heather to contact someone for a ride due to the vehicle being towed.

Dispatch was advised to send a tow. Springers arrived on scene, and took the vehicle. I conducted an inventory of the vehicle, and found nothing, Misc junk, and junk mail.

Charges:
ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (Non-Compliance)
ORC: 4511.12 Obey Traffic Control Devices

At 00:27 hours on 04-18-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302. While stationary observing the intersection of W. Ohio Avenue and N. Johnson Road, I observed a maroon Toyota sedan, that was traveling eastbound on W. Ohio, proceed through the intersection without coming to a complete stop. Based upon my training and experience, I estimated the vehicle to be moving at approximately 10 MPH when it went trough the intersection. I then pulled onto the roadway, activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle.

It should be noted that the vehicle was slow to stop, with me having to activated my audible siren several times before it stopped at the intersection of W. Ohio Avenue and N. l9th Street.

Upon approaching the maroon Toyota Corolla, bearing Ohio Registration HZC 9083,l made contact with the male driver. I informed the driver of the reason for the stop, with him saying that he realized he had run the stop sign, and that he was having a bad night. I then requested his driver license as well as vehicle registration. The driver informed me that he did not have either with him. I then asked if he had a valid license, with him telling me that he had just been stopped by The Alliance Police Department, his license was suspended, and that they had cited him. The driver then gave me his name (Daniel Pasco-Windland), date of birth, and social security number.

Upon returning to my patrol car, I relayed Pasco-Windland's information to dispatch, with it being
confirmed that his driver license was suspended. I then drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032222. I cited Pasco-Windland for driving under suspension (ORC: 4510.11), as well as obeying traffic control devices (ORC: 4511.12).

Upon returning to Paso-Windland's vehicle, he signed the citation and was given his copy. I also at this point instructed Pasco-Windland to exit the vehicle, because it was going to be towed.

Upon informing Pasco-Windland of this, he reached his right hand between the center console and driver seat, began shuffling around, and then reached into his front right coat pocket. I could not see what he had retrieved, with me ordering him out of the vehicle. Due to the threat to officer safety, I asked for and received consent from Windland to conduct a pat-down of his person. Pasco-Windland then said it had been his nicotine that he put in his pocket.

When I asked if I could enter his pockets to be sure that it was only nicotine that he had retrieved, Paso-Windland said "yeah". At this point I located a plastic container, which contained a light-colored crystalline substance, small spoon, box cutter blade, and rolled up dollar bill. Based upon my training and experience, the light-colored crystalline substance appeared to be methamphetamine.

I then secured Pasco-Windland in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked, before securing him in the back of car 302. It should be noted that I informed Pasco-Windland that he was only being detained at that point and was not under arrest. I then completed an inventory of the vehicle, locating nothing of value and no additional contraband.

Ptl. Rhome, of The Smith Township Police Dept. also arrived to my location at this time. At this point, I decided that the suspected methamphetamine would be sent to The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) Crime Lab, instead of it being field tested. Because of this, Pasco-Windland was released from detention and sent on his way. Pasco-Windland was informed of his mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 on 04-18-2022. Sebring Tire then arrived and towed his vehicle, with both Ptl. Rhome and I clearing from the stop afterwards.

Once back on station, I photographed the suspected methamphetamine as well as drug paraphernalia. I also weight the suspected methamphetamine, with it not registering on the department scale. The contraband items were then secured in temporary evidence locker #1. Additional charges possible pending laboratory results.

Nothing additional to report at this time.

The blue Jeep Liberty, bearing Ohio Registration HRU 9807, came to a stop on N. Johnson Road near W. Oregon Avenue. Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I found her to be speaking on her cell phone.

The Silverado, bearing Ohio Registration JLW 5854, showed as being registered to a Ryan Bandy, whose driver license was suspended. From the alleyway between the 100 bocks of E.

I then activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop, The Silverado came to a stop in the rear parking lot of The Brickhouse Bar, located at 206 E. Ohio Avenue.

Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the male driver, who I know to be Ryan Bandy. When I informed Ryan of the reason for the stop, he said that he did not know that his driver license was suspended. Ryan was unable to produce proof of insurance and informed me that he did not have his driver license with him. Due to Ryan's body language being indicative of nervousness, I asked him to step out of the vehicle. Once Ryan was out of the vehicle, I observed a folding pocket knife in his left pant pocket. I did take control of this item for the duration of our encounter.

I then returned to my patrol car, where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032224. I cited Ryan for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11). At approximately this time, Ptl. Russell arrived on scene as well. It was also found that the registration that was affixed to Ryan's truck belonged on a 2013 Silverado.

At 16:13 hours on 04-03-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302. While stationary along the roadside in the 300 block of Courtney Road, I observed a silver Chevrolet Silverado, traveling eastbound on Courtney Road, at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posted 35 MPH speed limit. Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 57 MPH. Upon noticing my patrol car, the vehicle began slowing.

As the vehicle approached close, nearing the point of passing my position, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, pulled onto the roadway, and initiated a traffic stop. The Silverado, which had Ohio Registration HVZ 5597 attached, came to a stop approximately 100 yards east of the railroad tracks. I then approached, made contact with the driver, and informed him of the reason for the stop. I then requested his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance.

The driver identified himself as James R. Carsone, but said that he had misplaced his driver license some time ago. He was however able to provide me with proof of insurance as well as his vehicle registration. Mr. Carsone provided me with his date of birth and offered to allow me to see credit cards that he had to verify his identity.

I then returned to my patrol car, where I relayed Mr. Carson's information to dispatch with it being found that he had two convictions for moving violations within the past 12 months.

On 20March22 I conducted a Traffic Stop In front of 356 N 12th St. Prior to conducting the traffic stop I, (Ptl Melendez), requested a check on Ohio registration (JDB7445). While waiting for a return in the left turning lane on E Ohio Ave and N 12th St I observed a white cloud of smoke coming out of the rear driver side window of the gold 2003 Chevy Impala.

While still waiting for the light turn turn green Sebring Dispatch advised that the owner of the vehicle Deonah Stewart was Suspended.

Upon receiving that information I then conducted a traffic stop with my marked patrol vehicle 302 in front of 356 N 12th St for Window tint and also for the drivers operators license being suspended.

Upon exiting my patrol vehicle I observed a white females face in the drivers side mirror. prior to getting to the drivers side door the white female later identified as Janessa N. Daugherty smiled in the mirror and she pressed the accelerator and proceeded north on 12th St. I then returned back to my patrol vehicle and advised Sebring Dispatch that the vehicle attempted to flee. While sti11 traveling north on 12th St I advised dispatch to start another unit and dispatch advised that Det. Reed of the Smith Township police Department was in route. I then continued to pursue the vehicle north bound on 12th St. The vehicle then turned left going west bound on Middletown Road speeds reached 70MPH with no traffic. The Vehicle then turned left traveling south on Johnson Rd in smith township heading back to The Village Of Sebring.

At this time Det. Reed advised that he was at the intersection of Courtney Rd and North Johnson, while still traveling south on Johnson the vehlcle then tuned right on Courtney traveling west bound almost hitting Det. Reeds patrol vehicle.

Dispatch was then advised to contact OSP and also Alliance Police, the vehicle continued west on Courtney Rd with light traffic conditions and speeds were 70 MPH. Det. Reed then took over calling our location out since he was the secondary unit and I was primary. The vehicle continued west on Courtney Road passing Oyster Rd., speeds were approximately 50 MPH. The Vehicle then turned left on to Jennings Rd traveling Southbound to River St. where it continued to North Walnut.

At this time the Speeds were approaching 70 Mph while still traveling on Walnut Ave the vehicle then turned onto E Keystone St In Alliance. Upon approaching the intersection of Keystone and Union Ave the vehicle ran a red light almost ramming a white utility truck. Sebring Dispatch then advised per Sqt Kelm to terminate the pursuit. I then advised that the pursuit was terminated. After ending the pursuit advised Sebring dispatch to contact Stark County Sheriffs and also Canton Police since the vehicle returns to a Canton address and I returned back to the Sebring Police Department.

At 1935 Hours I was advised by Sebring Dispatch that Canton PD had the vehicle stopped with two subjects detained in canton at the intersection of 19th St and Harrisburg Road. I then contacted Sgt. Kelm and advised him of what was going on. Sgt. Kelm then advised to go meet with the officers in canton and attempt to see if they had the driver. I then advised dispatch and I traveled to Canton where I met with Ptl. Brown and Ptl. Hampton of Canton PD who had the two males detained. Both males advised that a female friend by the name of Breanna Wilson let them drive the vehicle 15 minutes prior to being stopped. I then advised the CPD officers that my driver was a light skinned female.

While talking with Brown and Hampton Stark County advised that they made contact with the owner of the vehicle and that they were going to meet with her at 3827 Kirby Ave NE in Canton. I then advised Sebring Dispatch that I was going to meet with the owner of the vehicle.

Upon making contact with the owner of the vehicle myself and Deputy Green for Stark County SO asked her to walk over to my patrol vehicle to answer some questions. Prior to asking Stewart any questions I read her Miranda and she advised that she would comply and answer all questions. Stewart began to deny any involvement in the pursuit and she advised that a friend identified as Daugherty was the person operating the vehicle and that she also had text messages to prove it. I then obtained the text messages from Stewart that showed Daugherty was operating the vehicle at the time of the pursuit and also how Daugherty stated that she was going to wipe the vehicle down and also change the color of the vehicle. I then asked Stewart if she could provide a written statement and she complied.

While traveling northbound in the 300 block of S. Johnson Road, I observed what was clearly an offroad motorcycle, turn from W. Tennessee Ave. onto S. Johnson Road. The motorcycle began traveling northbound at a high rate of speed. At this point, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and audible siren.

The motorcycle turned left onto W. California Avenue, continuing on at a high rate of speed. The Motorcycle continued on, going to Tennessee Avenue, before coming to a stop.

Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, identified by his Ohio Driver License as Levi Campbell, he advised that he stopped as soon as noticed our patrol car behind him. Campbell was found to have a suspended driver license. The Motorcycle was also found to be an early 2000's model Honda CR-125. There was no license plate attached to the vehicle nor was it registered for on-road operation.

I then returned to the patrol car, where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032212. I cited Campbell for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11), as well as Acts Prohibited (ORC:4519.40) for operating an off-highway motorcycle on a public roadway. Sebring Tire was then called to tow the motorcycle, with their wrecker arriving shortly after. It should be noted that the vehicle's VIN number was checked through LEADS to determine that it had not been entered as stolen.

Campbell then signed the citation, was given his copy, and informed of his mandatory court appeared at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on 03-24-2022. Both units then cleared from the stop. NFI.

CHARGE: ORC:4511.203  Wrongful Entrustment

At 17:22 hours on 03-12-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302. While in the parking lot of Circle K, located at 205 E. Ohio Avenue, I conducted a random registration check of a red Ford Escape that was in the business's parking lot. The vehicle's license plate, JGK 6756, returned to a Megan Cutlip, from Youngstown, Ohio. The registration showed that it belonged on a maroon Ford station Wagon and had expired on 01-17-2022.  I then pulled into the parking lot of Gionino's Pizza, located directly across N. 14th Street from Circle K, and watched as the red Escape drove from the parking lot of Circle K and began northbound on N. 14th Street.

I then activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a stop on N. 14th Street, approximately 20 yards from the intersection with E. Maryland Avenue. I made a passenger side approach and made contact with the male driver and female front seat passenger. I informed the driver of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license. He at this point informed me that his driver license was suspended, with him then producing an Ohio Identification Card that showed him to be Michael Franks.

The female passenger was able to provide me with an Ohio driver license that showed her to be Megan Cutlip, the registered owner of the vehicle.  Cutlip did also say that she was aware that Franks's driving privileges were suspended when she allowed him to drive her vehicle.

Ptl. Ray also arrived to my location at around this time.

I then returned to my patrol car, where I was able to confirm that Franks was in fact under an OVI suspension. Cutlip's driving privileges were suspended as well. Once I confirmed the suspension, I returned to the subject vehicle and instructed both parties to begin calling for a ride because I was going to have the vehicle towed. I then returned to my patrol car again, where I began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032210 for Mr. Franks, which was for driving under suspension (ORC: 4510.11), as well as expired vehicle registration (ORC: 4503.21). I also wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032211 to Cutlip, who was cited for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle (ORC: 4511.203). While writing these citations, a female subject, later identified as Taylor Burson, arrived on scene to pick up Franks and Cutlip. Ptl. Ray made contact with Burson, who was also found to have a suspended driver license.

While Ptl. Ray was handling Burson's citation, I advised dispatch to contact a towing company to tow the vehicle belonging to Cutlip. Sebring Tire was unable to respond, so K&D towing was summoned.

Ptl. Ray opted not to tow the vehicle belonging to Burson, but to instead allow her to call for a ride. I also at this point gave both Cutlip and Franks their citations, with both subjects signing them, being given their copies, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 on the next business day for information on when they would need to appear for their mandatory court appearances.

Approximately 25 minutes later, Roger Rhome, with K&D towing arrived on scene. Also arriving was a driver who came to pick up Burson, Franks, and Cutlip. Driver was determined to have a valid driver license.

An administrative inventory of vehicle belonging to Cutlip was also performed, with nothing of value being located. The vehicle was then towed to K&D's impound lot with a hold being placed.

Ptl. Ray issued a citation for Driving Under Suspension to Burson.

All parties then cleared from the scene. Nothing additional to report at this time.

4511.39     Turn Signal

On 03/11/2022 While on local saturation Patrol for the Mahoning County OVI Task Force I, patrol Brindack, was driving north bound on N 14th St. near Ohio Ave. I observed a silver in color Volkswagen Passat bearing OH HLU1137 pull out of a parking space near the Brickhouse and pull in front of my patrol car. The vehicle came to the intersection of N.14th St. and E. Pennsylvania Ave. and turn right onto Pennsylvania without using a turn signal.

I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle which continued until just before the intersection of Pennsylvania Ave and 15th St. where it came to a stop.

Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver Tiberu Marian and identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop which he scoffed at. Observed his eyes were glassy in appearance and slightly bloodshot. I also detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I asked Marian if he had any alcohol to drink tonight and he replied "one beer". 

I collected Marian driver's license and paperwork and told him I would be right back, as I was sitting in my patrol car running Marian through dispatch, he exited his vehicle and approached the rear of his vehicle. I ordered Marian to get back and his vehicle and he replied "I'm just making sure you can see my turn signals" and as he turned around to walk back to his vehicle, I noticed him stumble. At this point I Walked over to Marian and asked if he would do field sobriety tests.  Marian said he would. 

At this point Sgt. Kelm had also arrived on scene.

During the first test the horizontal gaze nystagmus, Marian advised he used glasses but only to read and had no head or eye injuries. During the medical scan I observed Marian had Equal tracking, equal pupil size, and no resting nystagmus. During the HGN Marian was instructed to put his feet together, keeps his arms at his side and to follow the stimulus which was the tip of my pen. I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in the left eye as well as onset prior to 45 degrees in his left eye, Marian was squinting his right eye the entire time making it difficult to observe and was asked to open further but continued to squint. Marian also moved his head multiple times and looked away from the stimulus multiple times.

During the "walk and turn" I instructed Marian to keep his feet together and place his arms at his side. I explained to Marian he would be taking 9 heel to toe steps in an imaginary line turn around and do 9 heel to toe steps back. I showed him an example by doing only three steps but explained to him I was taking three and he would be taking 9. Marian, During the walk and turn Marian missed touching his heels to his toes, raised his arms slightly and stumbled while walking and stepped off the line.

During the "one leg stand" I instructed Marian to put his feet together arms at his side, and informed Marian to pick a leg of his choosing either left or right and was going to raise it off of the ground and count "1 one-thousand 2 one-thousand 3 one-thousand" until told to stop. I showed Marian and example and asked if he understood. Marian put his left foot up. Said "1 one-thousand 2 one-thousand 3 one-thousand and placed his foot back down. We explained to Marian he needed to go until I said to stop. Marian began again, stumbled raised his arms for balance and then put his right foot down and raised his left foot he then counted to "6 one-thousand" and stopped. Marian swayed the entire time

At this point I advised Marian he was under arrest for suspected OVI, And placed him in handcuffs while cuffing Marian tightened his right arm and would not bring it to his left arm. Marian had to be told multiple time to bring his hands together. Marian finally complied and his cuffs were gapped and double locked.

I began walking Marian toward my cruiser and he pulled away and tried to go towards his vehicle and said "wait a minute" I held Marian in place and ordered him to stop. Marian complied and was placed in the back of my patrol vehicle. Marian refused a PBT. The passenger Cheryl Dawn Marian was given a PBT, found not to be impaired and allowed to drive the vehicle away.

Marian was transported to our station to be processed.

On station Marian was read a 2255 form and asked to submit to a chemical and breath test. Marian did submit both urine and breath, urine being first.

CHARGES:

4510.111  DUS Child Support

331.34(A) Failure to Control

On 02/25/2022, I Officer Ray, was dispatched to the area of north Johnson railroad tracks near Smith Township PD for a vehicle off the roadway. Sebring Street Department called in the vehicle, and stated that they did not see any occupants.

Upon my arrival I observed a black Chevy truck that went off the east side of Johnson. The vehicle was in front of Apex Control Systems, 751 North Johnson Road. There were no occupants.

I ran the plate through dispatch (JFH7401). While I was waiting on the plate return I observed the vehicle to be unlocked and a wallet sitting in the center console. Due to the circumstances, I entered the vehicle, and checked the wallet for a license. Inside the wallet I observed a license belonging to Jeffery Davis.

At this point dispatch advised the vehicle belongs to Jeffery Davis.

Dispatch advised me that Jeffery lives at 506 Courtney Road. Dispatch also advised that Jeffery was suspended.

I cleared the accident, and went to 506 Courtney Road to attempt to locate Jeffery.

Upon my arrival Jeffery was standing at the end of his driveway. I approached Jeffery and I asked him what had happened. Jeffery stated to me that the roads were covered in ice, and while he was traveling south on Johnson he lost control, and left the roadway.

I asked Jeffery if he had known he was suspended, and he stated no. After observing Jeffery to not be injured, I returned back to the accident. I offered to give Jeffery a ride back, and he refused. Instead, he chose to walk. Back at the accident Jeffery met me, and I issued him a citation for DUS Child Support 335.074, and Failure to Control 331.34(A).

Jeffery had family come pull his vehicle from the side of the road. Nothing further.

CHARGE: SCO:335.10  Expired/Unlawful Plates

At 16:12 hours on 02-23-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While stationary along the roadside at the intersection of N. Johnson Rd and W. Ohio Avenue, I conducted a random registration check of a black Chevrolet Trailblazer that traveled through the intersection.

The license plate on the vehicle, Ohio Registration HXZ 9929, returned to a black 2005 Chevrolet Station Wagon but was found to have expired on 12-08-2021. The plates returned to a Phillip Goodwin from Salem, Ohio.

Upon catching up with the vehicle at the intersection of Ohio Avenue and N. 15th Street, I activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a stop in the 100 block of E. Ohio Avenue.

I made contact with the driver and informed him of the reason for the stop as well as requested his driver license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration. The driver produced an Ohio Driver License that identified him as Andrew J. Rice. He also produced an insurance card as well as a vehicle registration that showed the vehicle was registered to the individual advised by dispatch.

In speaking further with Rice, he said that he had bought the vehicle off of his neighbor, Phillip Goodwin, and he, through his mother, had taken care of registering the vehicle.

I then returned to my patrol car where I began writing a citation to Rice. I cited Rice for Expired or Unlawful Plates (SCO:335.10). Rice signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to either contest the citation or pay it if he wished to do so.

Rice was also instructed to have the vehicle properly registered before driving it again.

I then cleared from the stop. NFI

CITED: Curtis Smith, 42, 546 S. Johnson Rd., Sebring, OH

CHARGES:

ORC 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension(Non-Compliance)

ORC 4511.39 Turn/Stop Signals

At 08:33 hours on 02-22-2022 I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302.

While patrolling eastbound on W. Texas Avenue approaching S. 15th Street, I observed a green Chevrolet Equinox, bearing Ohio Registration JMP 4875, that was traveling in front of me, fail to signal prior to 100 feet before making a right turn on S. 15th. As we traveled down S. 15th Street, I activated the patrol cars overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle turned left on U.S. 62 and then came to a stop.

I then approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver, Curtis Smith. I informed Smith of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license. Smith said that he did not have one and that his driving privileges were suspended. Smith was able to provide me with his social security number, as well as name and date of birth.

Upon returning to my patrol car, I relayed Smith's information to dispatch, with it being found that he was currently under seven separate license suspensions. I then drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.032205. I cited Smith for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11), as well as turn/stop signals (ORC: 4511.39). Ptl. Brindack also arrived to my location at approximately this time.

I then returned to the vehicle that Smith was driving and instructed him to exit. Ptl. Brindack and I conducted an inventory of the vehicle, with nothing of value being located.

Smith then signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court No. 3 for further instructions on when to appear for his mandatory court hearing. It should be noted that in speaking with Smith, he did inform me that Cathy Morrison, the vehicle's registered owner, knew that his driving privileges were suspended before she allowed him to use the vehicle.

Sebring Tire then arrived and towed the vehicle to their impound lot. Because I planned on citing Morrison for Wrongful Entrustment a hold was placed on it. Once Sebring Tire towed the vehicle, both units cleared from the stop.

After clearing from the traffic stop, I returned to the police station briefly before going to Cathy Morrison's residence, located at 546 S, Johnson Road. Upon making contact with Morrison, I informed her that her vehicle had been towed because Smith was driving it with a suspended license. When I asked Morrison if she was aware that Smith's license was suspended, she stated "I think I did". Morrison was then issued Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032206.1 cited Morrison for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle (ORC: 4511.203(A)(2)). Morrison signed the citation, was given her copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for further instructions on when to appear for her mandatory court hearing. I also advised Morrison that a hold had been placed on her vehicle until at least her first court appearance and that it had been towed to Sebring Tire, located at 10 N. 12th Street. I then cleared from the residence. Nothing additional to report at this time.

At 17:45 hours on 02-19-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While parked Parallel to Courtney Rd. in the loading bay at Famous Distribution, (350 Courtney Road), I observed a westbound Chevrolet Equinox, blue in color, that appeared to be traveling at a speed that was substantially higher than the posted 35 MPH limit.

Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 59 MPH. I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Due to the speed that the vehicle was traveling allowing it to gain a substantial amount of distance from me, I also activated the patrol cars audible siren.

The driver of the vehicle then appeared to notice that I was behind him, with him coming to a stop on Courtney Road, approximately 1/10 mile west of N. Johnson. As I pulled up onto the vehicle, I noticed Ohio Registration HWC 2036 was affixed to the back. Upon making contact with the driver, I introduced myself as well as informed him of the reason for the stop. The driver informed me that he was looking for his glasses, was on his way to get feed for his chickens, and had not noticed.

I then requested his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The driver handed me an Ohio Driver License that identified him as Benjamin Sparks, as well as the vehicle's registration. Sparks was unable to provide me with a copy of the vehicle's insurance information.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032204. Sparks was cited for speed (SCO: 333.03), for going 59 MPH in the marked 35 zone. Sparks signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to call Mahoning County Court #3 on the next business day for information on his mandatory court appearance.

Ohio Avenue at N. 12th Street waiting for the light to turn green, I observed a tan Chevrolet Prism that was traveling southbound on N. 12th Street travel into the intersection before slamming its brakes due to the light having changed.  The vehicle then backed up to the stop bar of the intersection. It should be noted that the intersection had vehicles attempting to enter at the time this occurred.

Once I was able to proceed into the intersection I turned my patrol car around so as to position myself behind the vehicle. When the light turned green, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle, bearing Ohio Registration

HXL 3086.

Upon making contact with the driver she immediately stated she thought it was flashing yellow. The driver then provided me with her driver license, which identified her as Melonie Copen, the registered owner of the vehicle. Also present in the vehicle was a Charles Copen who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Once back at my patrol car, I relayed the information of both of the vehicles occupants to dispatch with it being advised that the license plates of the vehicle had been expired since 11/20/2021. 

Charles was found to have two active warrants for his arrest but was out of pick-up radius.

Ptl. Ray arrived at approximately this time with the two of us approaching the vehicle. I approached from the driver side and Ptl. Ray approached from the passenger side. In speaking with Melonie, she informed me that she knew her tags were expired and that she had received a warning from another police officer several weeks prior.

I also at point detected the odor of raw marijuana from inside of the vehicle. When I asked Melonie about this she said that she had a marijuana card and the she was unsure of what was inside of the vehicle.

A probable cause search as well as administrative inventory of the vehicle was conducted with nothing of value nor any contraband being located. I then returned to my patrol car where I wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032122 to Copen. I cited Copen for expired license plates (SCO: 335.10). Copen also received a verbal warning for stopping within intersection.

Sebring Tire then arrived on scene and towed the vehicle to their impound lot. 

Copen signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for instruction on when to appear for her court appearance.  Both units then cleared from the stop.

Nothing additional to report at this time.

Charges:

335.01(a)  No Drivers License

331.14     Failure to Signal

4510.11(B) Violation of Restriction

On 01/03/2022,1 Officer Ray, was sitting in the parking lot of Huntington Bank when I observed a GMC SUV drive past on Ohio Ave, and get into the turn lane at the intersection of 15th Street. At the time I also did not observe the vehicle to have a plate light. I pulled out of the parking lot and got behind the vehicle that still did not have a turn signal on.

Should be noted that at this point the vehicle was already at a complete stop. As I stopped my cruiser behind the vehicle the light at the intersection turned green, and then the turn signal was activated. The vehicle approached the intersection of 15th and Oregon and that light had turned yellow. The vehicle traveled through the intersection, but I was delayed by the red light.

The light turned green, and I activated my over head lights, and siren, and got the vehicle to stop at Texas Ave.

I approached the vehicle, and identified the driver as Bruce Rodkey, I stated to Bruce that I was stopping him for not using his turn signal 100 feet prior to his turn, and that his plate light was hanging off of the truck, and that it was not shining light on to his plate.

Bruce began to be hostile with me stating that he used his turn signal. He argued that the law does not state 100 feet, and he stated that he had planned to drive straight and that prompted me to ask why he was in the turn lane.

I asked Bruce for his drivers license and the vehicle's registration. Neither document was able to be provided. I returned to my cruiser, and asked dispatch for the registered owners information. Dispatch advised me that Bruce was restricted to daylight driving.

Should be noted that my time of stop was at 19:50 and it was dark.

I returned to Bruce and stated to him that he was being cited for the restriction, and again he began to argue with me stating that it was an issue with the BMV. I stated to him that I go off of what I am told by my dispatcher and that I was not the BMV. I stated to Bruce that I was not the court and to stop arguing.

Bruce stated that I never gave him a reason for the stop, and I repeated that he was stopped for not using his turn signal. Bruce then stated "why did it take you so long to stop me" and I advised him that he went through the intersection on yellow and I stopped at the red light. In that same sentence Bruce argued that I ran the red light. Should be noted that Officer Ossler was sitting at that same intersection and observed me stopping at the light. Officer Ossler will be doing a supplement.

Due to Bruce continuing to argue with me over the traffic stop, I advised him that I would be back. I returned to my cruiser and added the failure to signal on the citation.

I returned to Bruce, and stated that the failure to signal was now added, and I continued by asking him if he was going to sign the citation. Bruce agreed. While signing the citation, Bruce began to question why the traffic stop took so long and I advised him that due to him not providing any information to me in the form of a license or the registration that I had to call dispatch for them to read me all the information.

Bruce was cited for Violation of Restriction 4510.11(8), Failure to signal 331.14, and No drivers license 335.01(a).

TRAFFIC - 200 block W. California Ave. Sebring, OH

CITED: Morgan Barr-Finnie, 22, 1086 Porter Rd. Alliance, OH

Charges:

ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (Non-Compliance)

ORC: 4511.21 Speed (38125)

On 11-05-2021 at 17:48 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While sitting facing westbound in the parking lot of unit, United Die, located at 100 N. 17th Street, I observed a tan four-door sedan traveling eastbound on W. California Avenue at a rate of speed that appeared to be higher than that of the posted 25MPH limit. Upon activating the front-facing radar antenna of the patrol car, I obtained a locked speed of 38MPH. I then pulled out onto the roadway, activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop.

The Tan Nissan Altima, bearing Ohio Registration JLW6209, came to a complete stop in the 200 block of W. California Avenue, with me then approaching and making contact with the female driver and male front seat passenger.

Upon advising the driver of the reason for the stop, she said that she was not familiar with the roads or speed limits. She then produced an Ohio Driver License, which identified her as Morgan Lee Barr Finnie. I also requested the front seat passenger's identification, seeing as he did not have a seat belt on. The passenger handed me an Ohio Identification Card, which identified him as Brandon Lamont Dotson. Mr. Dotson also at this point advised me that he had a Concealed Carry Permit and was armed.

I then returned to my patrol car where I relayed both subjects' information to dispatch. Barr-Finnie was found to be under a non-compliance suspension and Dotson did not have a valid driver license. At this point, I requested Ptl. Ray to respond to my location due to Dotson advising the presence of a firearm in the vehicle.

Upon again making contact with Barr-Finnie, I advised her of her suspension and asked if she was aware. Barr-Finnie said that she was not and that she had recently received a traffic citation that she did pay in full. Barr-Finnie was advised to contact someone to give her a ride seeing as her vehicle was going to be towed. Barr-Finnie said that she would be in contact with her mother, and that she would come from Alliance to give her a ride home seeing as she had a small child in the vehicle with her.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032201. I cited Barr-Finnie for Speed (ORC: 4511.21), for going 38MPH in the marked 25MPH zone. Barr-Finnie was also cited for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11). I then returned to Barr-Finnie's vehicle where she signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 on the next business day for instructions on when she is to appear in court.

It should also be noted that when I requested Barr-Finnie's proof of insurance, she scrolled through her phone briefly but advised that she was unable to locate it.

Sebring Tire then arrived on scene as did Barr-Finnie's mother. An administrative inventory was conducted of the vehicle, with nothing of value and no contraband being located. The vehicle was then towed to Sebring Tire.

Barr-Finnie, Mr. Dotson, and left with her mother and stepfather.

Both Ptl. Ray and I then cleared from the stop. It should be noted that the calibration of car 303's in-car radar unit was verified before use as well as after issuing Barr-Finnie her citation, this being done using the department issued tuning forks. I also know the speed limit on W. California Avenue to be clearly posted and easily visible.

Nothing additional to report at this time.

The vehicle then turned right from S. 20th, failing to signal its turn prior to the required 100 feet.

Upon catching up with the vehicle near the intersection of S. Johnson Rd and W. New York Avenue, I activated the overhead emergency lights on my patrol car and initiated a traffic stop.

TRAFFIC - 300 Block E. Pennsylvania Ave. Sebring, OH

CITED: Miranda Yoalber, 38, 5907 Ranchester Dr. #1509 Houston Tx.

Charge: SCO: 333.03  Speed (52/35)

On 10-19-2021 at 1350 hours. I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While patrolling northbound in the 400 block of N. 12th Street, I observed a southbound Dodge 3500 pickup towing a fifth-wheel trailer at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than the posted speed limit of 35MPH. As the vehicle approached the intersection of N. 12th Street and E. Michigan Avenue, I obtained a locked speed of 52MPH.

Just prior to the vehicle going past me, I activated the overhead emergency lightbar of the patrol car, turned around, and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a complete stop in the 300 block of E. Pennsylvania Avenue. Upon approaching. I observed Texas Registration NVS 4119 attached to the rear of the pickup.

In speaking with the driver, I requested his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver, identified as Miranda Martinez Yoalber, by his Texas Driver License, was able to produce all requested documents. When I informed him of the reason for the traffic stop, Mr. Yoalber said that he did not speak English.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032095. I cited Mr. Yoalber for speed (SCO: 333.03), for going 52MPH in a marked 35MPH zone. Mr. Yoalber signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to either pay for the citation or contest it if he wished to do so.

Due to the language barrier, I wrote a note instructing Yoalber to contact Mahoning County Court #3 within three business days for information on how to contest the citation of pay for it. The phone number to the court was included, with me instructing Yoalber to have someone translate it for him. I then cleared from the stop.

Charges:

4510.11 DUS

4511.194(B)(1)  Physical Control

4549.02(A)(1)  Stopping After an Accident

On 10/02/2021, I, Officer Ray, along with Detective Reed, assisted Smith Township with a vehicle crash they had on SR 62. Dispatch advised the Smith unit that a vehicle had went through the stop sign on 15th at SR 62, and the vehicle had come to a stop across from the stop sign. Dispatch advised that witnesses were watching the individual begin to walk North on 15th street.

I was already in the area, and began to search 15th for the individual. I was unable to locate.

Smith unit advised dispatch the vehicles plate, N033723. The vehicle belonged to Steven Lively.

At this point Detective Reed advised all units that Steven had an ex girlfriend that lived at 332 South 15th Street. Detective Reed, and myself went to that address. Upon our arrival we made contact with who was currently on the phone with 911 to report that Steven had crashed into her car. She stated that Steven was at the residence, and they were going to try and make things work relating to a past domestic. Sh stated that Steven had rubbed the hand of a 17 year old girl. This caused an argument.

It was at that point Steven had flipped over the fire pit in the yard that had an active burning fire. He backed his vehicle out of the garage, and put the vehicle in drive, striking a vehicle. Steven fled south on 15th Street.

When advised how drunk Steven was I cleared from the residence to search 15th Street again, I

believed that Steven could have fallen into a ditch / needed medical help.

While searching 15th Street, dispatch advised me that motorists had seen Steven stumbling down 12th Street near SR 62, As I turned on to 12th from SR 62 I was flagged down by a motorist who stated Steven was down the street trying to hitch hike. I observed Steven standing on the side of the road with his arm out, and his thumb up in a hitch hiking position. As I exited my vehicle I observed Steven swaying back and forth, bleeding from his right shin, not wearing shoes, and confused of his location. Steven stated to me that he believed to be on Union Street in Alliance, and was trying to hitch hike home. Steven stated to me that he was not driving any vehicle that night.

I detained Steven at 2038 hours, placed him in hand cuffs, gapped/ double locked, and placed him in the back of marked cruiser # 304.  I transported Steven to his crashed vehicle on SR 62 where the Smith unit was still at. Upon my arrival Smith Township took custody of Steven.

I stood by at the scene while Smith unit conducted field sobriety on Steven. At this point Smith Township placed Steven under arrest. Smith transported Steven back to Sebring PD where OSP was waiting to use the lntoxilyzer 8000. Steven refused. It should be noted that during the time spent with Steven I observed a strong odor of alcohol, blood shot eyes, Steven had slurred speech, and was having a difficult time standing up.

I cited Steven with Physical Control of a vehicle 4511.194(B)(1), DUS 4510.11, and for not stopping after causing an accident 4549.02(A)(l).

CHARGES:

4511.19 OVI / Bond $1,250

4301.62 Open Container

4513.23 Obstructed Rear View

REPORTING: Ptl Stanton #505

Unit responded to a possible OVI leaving a residence. I (Ptl. Stanton), responded to the complaint and found the vehicle in question traveling North on Johnson Road. I verified the plate with Sebring Dispatch and then monitored the vehicle to watch for possible impairment. I was advised that the caller is vouching that the driver was intoxicated by Sebring Dispatch. At that time I witnessed a blanket was obstructing the rear view mirror of the vehicle. With this probable cause, I conducted a traffic stop on Johnson and Courtney Rd.

Approaching the driver I asked for license and registration, I noticed a faint odor of alcohol coming from the rolled down window. I then advised the driver that I stopped the vehicle for and obstructed rear view mirror. She looked back and confirmed the blanket and tried pulling it down more. I then asked for the passengers license and I secured the documents from the vehicle. I then asked the driver Tonia Norris if she had anything to drink tonight and she freely admitted she did. I then asked her to step out of the vehicle for SFST tests, at this time I witnessed a beer can on the floor in the passenger side. She complied.

Sgt. Davis #342 of Smith Township Police was on scene as well and secured the passenger while I conducted my test.

There was no notable nystagmus in the eyes so I moved on with the rest of the tests. During the walk and turn, Tonia was unable to perform heel to toe test an turned abruptly with one step instead of a serious of smalls steps as instructed. Tonia also was unable to walk back in the same amount of steps she walked forward initially in. I moved on to the one leg stand, Tonia then was unable to keep her foot raised for the full 30 seconds. She instead stopped at 15 then started and stopped at 23 then started and finally stopped at 30.

During these start and stops she did not count in the thousands as instructed as well. Tonia was also wobbly and moved her arms out to keep balance. With these notifications, I arrested Tonia for OVI and Sgt. Davis secured her in his cruiser.

I went back to the vehicle and spoke to Sherrie explaining what is happening, that is when I witnessed the bag of open alcohol containers. I secured them and discovered it contained a crushed beer can and two open and empty bottle of Corona.

I waited for Sebring Tire to tow the vehicle and once this was done I returned to station for testing of Tonia. Sebring Tire escorted Sherrie to station due to me having the K-9 and Sgt. Davis having Tonia in custody for transport. Once at the station I told Sebring Tire the vehicle is on hold for court and he left station accordingly.

I instructed Sherrie to wait in the lobby while I processed Tonia. I read Tonia the 2255 form and asked if she is willing to consent to a breath test. Tonia consented and blew a .202. 

I processed the paperwork with Tonia and cited her for OVI 4511.19 /Open Container 4301.62 /and Obstructed Rear View - 4513.23.  I obtained photographs of Tonia and fingerprints for her as well. The bottles and beer cans located in her vehicle are stored in evidence at this time. I asked Tonia if going to court today would help since she is out of state and she agreed it would. I originally had her go to court on 9/30/2021 then realized what day it was and told her courts are on Thursdays for Sebring. The court date is set for 09/23/2021 @ 900 for MCC#3.

CHARGE: SCO: 335.05  Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle

At 16:59 hours on 09-03-2021, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While patrolling eastbound in the 200 block of W. Georgia Avenue, I clearly observed a person who I know to be Christopher Guildoo driving a green Ford Expedition westbound on the same road.

This vehicle also had a small trailer in tow.

Upon seeing Guildoo, I requested his driving status from dispatch, with it being advised shortly after that his driver license was suspended. I then turned my patrol car around and went towards the area where I had last seen Guildoo's vehicle.

As I neared the intersection of S. 18th Street and W. Georgia Avenue, I observed Guildoo's vehicle in an alleyway that connects W. Georgia to S. 18th Street. I then pulled into this alleyway opposite the direction he was going and initiated a traffic stop.

Upon exiting my patrol car and approaching the vehicle, I observed Christopher Guildoo in the front driver seat, Loni Quinn in the front passenger seat, and Brittany Landacre in the back seat behind Quinn. At this point I also noted that Ohio Registration JLW 5706 was attached to the SUV. This registration showed the vehicle as belonging to Loni Quinn. Ohio Registration SYX3177 was attached to the trailer. This registration expired on 09-15-2021 and returned to a Ronald Hubbs of Sebring.

I then returned to my patrol car where I began writing traffic citations for both Quinn and Guildoo. Due to officer safety, I requested mutual aid from Smith Township so that I could complete an administrative inventory of the vehicle prior to towing. Ptl. Iverson arrived a short time later. Guildoo was cited for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11) as well as Expired Registration (ORC: 4503.11). Quinn was cited for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle(SCO: 335.05).

Both parties were advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 the following business day for information on when to appear for their court hearing. I then began an administrative inventory of the vehicle with nothing of value being located.

Sebring tire then arrived on scene and towed the SUV to their impound lot. Due to Quinn being cited for Wrongful Entrustment, a hold was placed on the vehicle.

The trailer, with Consent from resident Katrina Salyers, was left in her yard at 335 S. 18h Street. Guildoo was advised that he would need valid registration to use it on a public roadway.

I then cleared from the stop. Nothing additional to report at this time.

ORC: 4513.05  Illumination of Rear License Plate

At 20:30 hours on 08-27-2021, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While stationary at the intersection of W. Ohio Avenue and N. Johnson Road, a silver Toyota pulled off to the side of the road and approached my patrol car, with a female exiting and asking for directions to Canton. After giving the female subject directions, she turned around and began driving southbound on N. Johnson Rd. At this point I noticed that the rear license plate light to the vehicle was not functioning. I then requested a registration check of the vehicle, with the attached license Plate. JFR 6974, returning to a black Chevrolet station wagon with this registration also being expired.

I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lightbar and initiated a traffic stop. The silver Toyota Echo came to a complete stop on Lake Park Blvd., just west of S. Johnson Road. I then approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver, who identified herself as Lee Ann Carney. In speaking with Carney, I advised her of the reason for the stop and asked for her driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.

Carney was unable to produce any of the requested documents, with her informing me that she did not have a driver license. Carney also advised me that the license plates belonged to her sister, Elizabeth Carney.

I then relayed Carney's information to dispatch, with it being discovered that her driver license was under suspension. Sgt. Kelm arrived on scene at approximately this time. Carney was then instructed to step out of the vehicle and stand on the curb lawn of a neighboring residence. I then began an administrative inventory of the vehicle with nothing of value being found.

After completing the inventory, I returned to my patrol cat where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.031952. I cited Carney for Driving Under Suspension (ORC:4510.11)Fictitious Plates (ORC:4549.08), and Illumination of Rear License Plate (ORC: 4513.05). As I was writing the citation, I asked Sgt. Kelm to relay the vehicle's VIN number to dispatch to determine ownership. The vehicle retumed to a Virginia Chesser, of Warren, Ohio.

I then returned to Carney's vehicle, where she was now sitting, and asked her to sign the citation. Carney signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 the following business day for instructions on when to appear for her mandatory court appearance.

Sebring Tire then arrived and towed the vehicle to their impound lot. Due to Carney not having anyone available to pick her up and the fact that she had a toddler with her, she was given a courtesy ride to The Sebring Police Station so that she could wait for a ride.

Nothing additional to report at this time.

Sloat, who was also found to have an active warrant for his arrest, was placed under arrest for one third-degree felony charge of tampering with evidence, two third-degree felony charges of having weapons under disability, as well as two misdemeanor charges of carrying concealed weapons. Sloat was then transported to the Mahoning County Justice Center.

Sloat was interviewed at The Mahoning County Justice Center the following day by a detective with The Sebring Police Department, with an admission being obtained regarding the burglary. Sloat also disclosed the location of the remaining five firearms that had been taken from the residence, with all being located.

In addition to the earlier charges, Sloat was charged with one second-degree felony charge of burglary as well as five additional third-degree felony charges of having weapons while under disability.

Upon arriving with Sebring Fire/EMS Medic 1, I observed a black Buick Encore (OH Reg HTG 4990) facing southbound in the grassy area to the southwest of the intersection. Directly behind it, still partially in the southbound lane of N Johnson Road, was a black Jeep Grand Cherokee (PA Reg KZN 6520). The Buick had moderate/disabling damage to the front end and front portion of the driver side. The Jeep had moderate/disabling damage to the front end.

As I exited my patrol car. I made contact with an adult female subject who had been driving the Buick (Savanna Semler), and asked her if she or the toddler child she was holding had been injured. Semler advised that she had hit her head but was okay.

Sebring EMS began speaking with her at this point, with me then making contact with the driver of the Jeep, Andrew J. Lusebring. In speaking with Lusebrink, he advised that he believed the intersection was a fourway stop and proceeded through, striking the other vehicle. Lusebrink and his adult male passenger, Alexander Khorey, both advised that they were wearing seat belts and had not been injured.

After collecting his driver license, registration, and insurance information, I went back to my patrol car where I wrote Uniform Traffic Citation #032087 to Lusebrink for right of way at intersections (SCO:331.16). Lusebrink signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to either contest the citation of pay it if he wished to do so.

Traffic - E. Wisconsin Ave. @14th St.

CITED: Austin Sturgill, age 24, 4439 Center Rd. Conneaut

Charge: 4511.19 A1A OVl SFST  / Bond $500

While on patrol I was waved down by the complainant later identified as Christin Sanders 836 N. 15th St., near the intersection of N. 15th St. and E. Wisconsin Ave. Christin advised her boyfriend, later identified as Austin Sturgill, had been driving around and he was drunk.

Christin advised Austin was driving a white in color Dodge Ram. I then began a sweep of the area. I was able to observe a white in color Dodge Ram traveling east on E. Vermont Ave. which then turned north on N. 12th St.

I got behind the vehicle to observe their driving, when the vehicle got near 835 N. 14th St. I observed the vehicle turn into the alley without properly signaling. I then activated my overhead emergency lights and conducted a traffic stop. I made contact with the driver Austin Sturgill who appeared very nervous and was stumbling on his words. I then asked Austin for his drivers license, registration, and proof of insurance.

Austin produced his drivers license but had to be asked again for his registration and insurance information.

After being asked a second time Austin was able to provide a valid registration and advised his insurance information was on his phone but he was having trouble signing in. While speaking with Austin me had his hand covering his mouth as he spoke and I was able to faintly smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from inside the vehicle. I then asked Austin if he had anything to drink and he replied he had 2 beers approximately 2 hours ago. I then advised Austin I would like to perform a test to ensure he was ok to driver which he complied with.

While Austin was seated in the drivers seat of the vehicle I performed the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. I advised Austin to look at my finger tip and only my finger tip and follow it was only his eyes. I then checked for equal pupil size and resting nystagmus. Austin had no signs of resting nystagmus and both pupils appeared to be of equal size. I then checked both eyes for equal tracking and both eyes tracked the tip of my finger equally. I then checked both eyes for onset of nystagmus at maximum deviation which I was able to observe in both eyes. I then checked both eyes for onset prior to 45 degrees which was also observed in both eyes. I then advised Austin I would like to perform 2 more tests to ensure he was ok to drive. Austin complied and I advised him to step out of the vehicle.

I then had Austin stand with his arms at his sides and his left foot in front of his right heel to toe while I showed him an example of how the walk and turn test was to be completed. Austin advised he understood the instructions. I then had him begin. Austin immediately used his arms to keep balance, and stepped off the line several times.

I then had Austin stand with his arms at his sides and feet together. I then showed Austin an example of the next test the one leg stand. Austin advised he understood my directions. I then advised Austin he could start the test. Austin used his arms to keep his balance, did not count how I advised him to, and dropped his foot multiple times.

I then advised Austin he was under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I had him turn with his back facing me, placed him in handcuffs (double locked and properly gapped), and placed him in the rear of my cruiser.

At this time the complainant arrived on scene and advised she would drive the vehicle to avoid it getting towed. I verified she was a valid driver and ensured Austin agreed that she could drive the vehicle. I then transported Austin back to the police station where he was read the BMV 2255.

Austin advised he refused to take any chemical tests. Austin was then photographed and fingerprinted and released on an OR bond. Austin was advised of his court date on 7/29/2021 at MCC#3 at 0900hrs.

I then gave Austin a courtesy transport back to 836 N. 15th St.

Skiba continued to argue with me saying "There is no way you could see me while I was next to the Semi and I stopped". I then advised her that I did observe her run the Stop sign and that the Semi's flatbed was empty so I was able to see her vehicle.

On 07/05/2021 @ 2216 hrs I was traveling Northbound on North 15th St near West Pennsylvania when I observed a vehicle traveling southbound on North 15th St with no rear license plate lights illuminating his license plate.

I safely performed a U-turn while having my emergency overhead lights and audible siren activated.  As I approached the vehicle it began slow rolling for about 2 blocks beginning near premier health then making a right turn onto Georgia Ave.  The vehicle did come to a complete stop west of 144 West Georgia Ave.  I asked dispatch for Sgt. Kelm #503 to assist me on the traffic stop.  I approached the vehicle, advised who I was, and the reason for the stop.  I asked for the driver's license, registration and proof of insurance and he procured all the aforementioned documents to me.

Sgt. Kelm arrived on scene to assist me at this time and dispatch advised officers that the driver, Tyler Mccaslin, was suspended and having a warrant out of Columbiana County to which they did want him.

I asked Tyler to sht the vehicle off and exit the vehicle.  All occupants complied with the request and exited the vehicle.  I advised the 2 passengers to speak with and give information to Sgt. Kelm as I put Tyler under detainment, placing him in handcuffs (double locked and properly gapped).

The passengers were identified.

Charge: SCO333.03 Speed (55/35)

On 07-02-2021 at 17:25 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While stationary facing north on the roadside in the 1100 block of S. 12th St I observed a white SUV that was traveling southbound at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posted 35MPH speed limit.

Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 55MPH. As the vehicle approached closer, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop.

The white Ford Expedition, bearing Ohio Registration JCR 6086, came to a complete stop just south of the village limits. Upon making contact with the driver, I requested her driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver produced all requested documents with her Ohio Driver License identifying her as Janelle Corallo. When I asked if she was aware of her speed Corallo did not reply.

I then returned to my patrol car where I wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032085 to Corallo for Speed (Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03), for going 55MPH in the marked 35MPH zone. Corolla signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to either contest the citation or pay it if she wished to do so.

I then cleared from the bop with nothing additional to report at this time.
