CRASH - 300 Block S. Johnson Rd. Sebring,
CITED: David Moser
135 W. Ohio Ave. Sebring, Ohio
CHARGE: SCO: 333.02 WILLFUL/WANTON DISREGARD OF SAFETY (MM)
At 08:12 hours on November 10,2024, I was dispatched to a report of a motor
vehicle crash on S. Johnson Road at W. Georgia Avenue. The subject vehicle
reportedly struck a telephone pole. I immediately proceeded to this location,
with dispatch advising that the reporting party advised that the driver of the
vehicle was unresponsive while I was enroute.
Upon arriving on location, I observed a white 2004 Toyota Corolla (OH Reg:),
that appeared to have been traveling southbound, had left the right side of the
roadway and struck the telephone pole in the yard of 360 S. Johnson Road. The
vehicle had moderate damage to the front end.
Upon approaching closer, I noted that there was a white male subject in his 50's
sitting in the driver seat. The driver did not have a seatbelt on, showed no
outward signs of trauma or injury, and the airbags of the vehicle were not
deployed. I then opened the front driver-side door and made contact with the
driver, who initially acted as though he was unresponsive, but immediately
appeared alert and oriented upon observing me. In speaking with the driver, he
said that he was okay. When I asked him what happened, he said "I tried to kill
myself'.
I then reached inside of the vehicle, placed it in park, and removed the key
from the ignition.
In speaking further with the driver, he provided me with an Ohio Driver License
that showed him to be David Charles Moser. Sebring Fire arrived on scene at this
time as did Sgt. Starr, of the Smith Township Police Department. I then asked
Mr. Moser to step out of the vehicle, with me conducting a pat-down of his
person before he went to an ambulance with Sebring Fire/EMS. At this time, I
advised Lt. Wayne Bailey that I would be placing Mr. Moser under involuntary
admission due to his mental status and suicide attempt, as well as that I would
be writing him a traffic citation for intentionally crashing his vehicle.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation
No.032707, with this being for operation in willful or wanton disregard of
public safety. I also completed the involuntary admission for (pink slip). Once
completed, I went to speak with Mr. Moser, who was still being assessed by
Sebring Fire/EMS. Mr. Moser signed the citation, was given his copy, and
informed of his mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00
hours on Thursday, November 21,2024. It should be noted that at this time, Mr.
Moser informed me that due to his financial situation, he did not have insurance
on the vehicle that he had been driving. Moser was then transported to Aultman
Alliance Community Hospital by Sebring Fire/EMS.
An administrative inventory of the vehicle was completed, with nothing of value
being located. Once finished, the vehicle was towed to Sebring Tire's wrecking
lot. No damage was noted to the telephone pole. All photographs were placed in
the shared driver and labeled with the corresponding case file number.
Nothing additional to report.

CRASH
CITED: Cara Gainor
331 Bennington Dr Sebring
CHARGE: 4511.202 Failure to Control
On this date 11/11/24 at approximately 2030 hours I was dispatched to the
intersection of Hillsdale and Carolina Ave regarding a call from Mrs. Gainor
stating that she sideswiped a stop sign. When I arrived, I saw that the stop
sign was indeed hit and laying in 2 pieces. The pole didn't seem to be damaged
and neither did the sign itself. When we arrived at Mrs. Gainors house I
contacted her.
She was extremely apologetic and stated, "she would've felt bad if she didn't
call and let the police know that she hit the sign". I told her that I did need
to site her for Failure to control and that I needed her information. I wrote
her a citation for failure to control and reported the broken stop sign to the
street department.
I then cleared.

CHARGE: SCO: 331.17 Right-of-way when turning left (MM)
At 15:58 hours on November 15,2024, Ptl. Brindack and I were conducting traffic
enforcement in marked unit 304. While stationary at the intersection of Ohio
Avenue and N. 15th Street waiting for a red light, I observed a blue Pontiac
Vibe that was traveling northbound on N. 15th Street turn left onto W. Ohio
Avenue. The vehicle failed to yield the right-of-way to a silver Mercury
Mountaineer that was traveling southbound through the intersection. This causing
the driver of the Mercury Mountaineer to have to abruptly stop in order to avoid
the near collision.
Upon observing this, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and
initiated a traffic stop on the Pontiac Vibe (OH Reg:).
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, she immediately apologized.
I then requested her driver license and proof of insurance. The driver was able
to produce both requested documents, with her Ohio Driver License showing her to
be Amileyon Copper.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation
No.032727. I cited Copper for right-of-way when turning left (SCO:331.17). Once
I finished drafting the citation, I returned to Copper's vehicle where she was
given her documents back. Copper also signed the citation, was given her copy,
as well as advised of her right to contest the citation by appearing at Mahoning
County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday December 5, 2024, as well as of her

Ptl. Brindack #504 10/23/2024
On this date while working for the Mahoning County OVI task force I was on
patrol in marked patrol car at Ohio and 15th St. I observed a silver chevy
Cavalier travelling East on Ohio Ave turn onto 15th St without stopping at the
blinking red light. I initiated a traffic stop on the Cavalier which stopped in
parking space in the downtown area. I approached the driver later identified as
Nancy Garwood along the passenger side of the vehicle I identified myself and
informed her for the reason for the stop. I observed a clearish crystal like
substance on the passenger seat of the vehicle.
I also noticed the driver appeared to be nervous and was laughing after every
statement, she also retrieved a cigarette from the pack when I walked up
indicating stress. At this time Det. Reed arrived on scene and approached on the
driver side. I requested our K9 to respond. Sgt.Kelm arrived shortly after.
Nancy was asked for consent to search the vehicle and said "sure" I asked again
and asked her to be clear with a yes or no, Nancy replied "yes you can search"
Det. Reed spoke with Nancy while Sgt. Kelm and I conducted a search of the
vehicle. Inside of Nancy purse I found a small clear plastic bag with two orange
pills inside one whole pill and one half of a pill. When asked Nancy said they
were suboxone and had a prescription.
Det. Reed discussed this with her while we continued our search. Two bags were
found in the trunk, inside one of the bags which appeared to be a nursing bag,
Sgt. Kelm found a four pack of highlighters in a hard plastic container, one of
the highlighters had been replaced with a syringe which no longer had a needle
but was loaded with a small amount of a clear liquid. Nancy said it was Ativan
that she accidentally took from work and was going to return. We fielded tested
the liquid, during field test a large portion of the liquid was spilled. The
field test showed orange indicating fentanyl or methamphetamine, however the
color was not strong, and we all agreed the field test was inconclusive.
Det. Reed had called into the OARS Ohio automated RX reporting system and
discovered that Nancy had a prescription for suboxone strips but not pills, Det.
Reed had already read Nancy Miranda, and she admitted to him she acquired the
pills from a friend not a prescription.
Nancy was taken into custody for possession of a controlled substance 2925.11a
misdemeanor of the 1st degree. The syringe was also seized for further testing.
The vehicle was left with Nancy's husband who came to the seen shortly before
her arrest. Nancy was transported to our station processed and given a
recognizance form. She was also issued a citation for traffic control devices.
Nancy was given a court date of 10/24/2024 in MCC#3 at 0900hrs.

At 0 1 : 16 hours on October 9,2024, I was conducting traffic enforcement in
marked unit 303. While westbound in the 100 block of E. Maryland Avenue I
conducted a registration check on a white Nissan Altima that was traveling in
front of me. The vehicle showed as being registered to a Ryan Skeens, whose
driving status showed as being suspended. The vehicle registration also expired
on July 16, 2024.
I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a
traffic stop. The vehicle came to a complete stop in the 200 block of W.
Maryland Avenue. Upon making contact with the driver, I informed him of the
reason for the stop, with him telling me that he knew that his license was
suspended and that he just couldn't get valid due to issues existing with
multiple courts. Mr. Skeen then produced a paper copy of his driver license but
was unable to provide proof of insurance. Due to Skeen's furtive movements at
the initial time of stop I asked him to step out of the vehicle, with me
conducting a pat-down of his person. No weapons were located as a result of
this. Sgt. Kelm also arrived to my location at this time.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032706. I cited Skeen for owner required to file application-taxes (ORC:
4503.11) for the expired registration as well as driving under suspension (Non-
Compliance)(ORC: 45 10.11). A confiscation order was also listed on the
vehicle's registration.
Once I was finished drafting the citation, I returned to speak with Skeen, who
then signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his mandatory

CHARGES:
2913.51 RSP
2913.02 Theft
Date 09/16/2024 17:05 Officer Reed
At 13:08 hours on September 15, 2024, police responded to a report of an
electric meter having been stolen off of a residence in the 500 Block of S. 14th
Street. The meter was subsequently recovered off of an apartment building on
Alabama Avenue.
At 13:08 hours on September 15, 2024, I was dispatched to 532 S. 14th Street
regarding a theft of a digital electric meter.
Upon arriving on location, I met with Ohio Edison, as well as the
caller/complainant. In speaking with subject, he informed me that the residence
belonged to his daughter, that it was not currently being resided in, but that
electric service was maintained. Subject said that when the service was
disrupted. Ohio Edison found that the meter that belonged there had been
replaced with another. This meter being registered to an account belonging to
subject of Apt. 18 at 836 S. 13th Street. This apartment I know to have recently
been vacated with Linda, staying behind despite being told that she needed to
leave from the apartments owner.
I then accompanied Jason to the apartment complex where the meter belonging to
Jones was found plugged into the box of apartment 18. It should be noted that
while at the apartment the day before on an unrelated matter, residence informed
me that they had observed who they know to be Linda Stuller "messing with" the
box. Ohio Edison generated event #1408303 for the matter with a follow up to be
completed with both Ohio Edison and other potentially involved parties.
The boxes were swapped back so that electric service could be restored to Jones'
residence. Various photographs were also taken with these being loaded to the
shared drive. Nothing additional to report.
Det. Reed #508
On this date while on patrol I spotted Linda Stuller at the corner of Ohio and
15th I stopped Linda and informed her of her warrant. Ptl. Vesey happened to be
in the area and arrived on scene with me shortly after. Ptl. Vesey handcuffed
Linda and placed her in the back of his car. A search incident to arrest was
completed on three bags Linda was carrying no contraband was found. Two small

Sgt. Kelm #503
Upon arrival Ptl. Brindack observed Steven Vanpelt standing outside near his
truck. Ptl. Brindack drew his service pistol and ordered Steven to place his
hands in the air. Steven complied and Ptl. Brindack then patted down Steven.
Steven was then placed in handcuffs (gapped and double locked) with a second set
used due to Steven's size in order to not injure his shoulders. Officers then
explained to Steven the reason we were there. Steven was clearly intoxicated as
shown by his slurred slow speech, having trouble keeping balance, and the odor
of alcohol emitting from his person.
Steven denied that he had a handgun and repeatedly stated he was being harassed,
stating we need to just let him go, and requesting the police Chief. Steven was
placed in the rear of Ptl. Brindack's cruiser while the incident was
investigated.
The Witness took officers to the garage where he explained that Steven had
walked into the doorway, was extremely intoxicated, and would not allow him to
get through the door. Witness that stated as Steven turned around he observed a
handgun in his waistband.
Officers checked the area but were initially unable to locate the handgun.
Witness stated he would write a sworn statement detailing that he observed the
handgun in Steven's waistband.
Due to lack of evidence Steven was released and advised to leave the scene and
not return. As Steven was walking away
Vincent advised he found the handgun in the back yard. Ptl. Brindack went to
retrieve the handgun and I again detained Steven and stood by with Smith
Township Lt. McDaniel who had arrived on scene earlier.
At this time I made contact with prosecutor VanBrocklin and explained the
situation. Prosecutor VanBrocklin advised that due to a witness writing a sworn
statement stating they observed the pistol in Steven's waistband to place him

TRAFFIC - 300 Block Courtney Rd. Sebring, Ohio
CITED: Danny Worrell
13667 Telepahak St. SE Minerva, Ohio
CHARGE: SCO: 333.03 Speed (55/35) MM
At 07:57 hours on October 5,2024, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 302. While stationary facing west along the roadside in the 300 block of
Courtney Road, I observed a black Chevrolet Silverado with attached trailer
traveling eastbound at rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher
than that of the posted 35 MPH speed limit. As the vehicle approached to within
an estimated 300 feet of my location, I activated the patrol car's in-car radar
unit (MPH Industries/Python 111). A locked speed of 55 MPH was obtained.
This being consistent with my visual estimation. No other vehicles were present
on this stretch of roadway at this time. The radar unit also emitted a steady,
clear, and high pitch that was consistent with the displayed speed.
One the truck passed my location, I pulled onto the roadway, activated the
patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. At this
time, I observed that Ohio Temporary Registration R436092 was affixed to the
rear trailer. As I approached the truck itself, I noted that affixed to it was
Ohio Registration.
I then made contact with the driver, with me informing him of the reason for the
stop as well as requesting his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof
of insurance. The driver was able to produce all three requested documents with
his Ohio Driver License showing him to be Danny R. Worrell. In speaking with Mr.
Worrell, he said that he was unaware of the speed limit on the stretch of
roadway that he was on.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032705. I cited Mr. Worrell for speed (SCO: 333.03). At this time, I also found
that the temporary registration on the trailer had expired in October of 2023.
Once I was finished drafting the citation, I returned to Mr. Worrell's vehicle
where he signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his option to
appear at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday, October 17,2024,
to contest the citation, as well as of his option to pay the citation by
contacting the court by this date. In addition to being cited for the speed,
Worrell was given a verbal warning for the expired registration on the trailer.
I then cleared from the stop. NFI.

relation to a possible violation of a temporary protection order.
Ptl. Peterman #506
09/23/2024
On arrival I spoke with the victim who stated to me that her husband, Nicholas
Piesciuk, had attempted to
make contact with her via phone application CashApp. Showed me a picture of
username "Nick Piesciuk" that sent
her $150.00 with a note attached stating "For whatever you or the girls need"
leading me to believe this is in fact
Nicholas Piesciuk.
Being the arresting officer, I remember that Nicholas was currently released on
bond for a domestic violence charge and his condition for release was not to
have any contact with the victim in any way to include 3rd party contact.
Victim stated that one of her facebook friends had also received a message from
Nicholas stating "Hi, I'm reaching to you to find out if my girls need anything.
I'm sure you're aware of the situation but I don't want my kids to suffer
because of mine and their mothers mistakes". This is what I can conclude to be
another possible violation of Nicholas bond conditions. Victim advised she did
not accept the money from Nicholas, and will not as she does not want any
contact with him.
I requested victim send me picture evidence of the CashApp payment and the
message sent to her friend.
I then cleared without further incident. This will be sent to Prosecutor Gary
Van Brocklin pending review on charges.

speed also being consistent with my visual estimation. The radar unit also gave
a clear pitch consistent with the speed displayed on the digital readout.
Once the vehicle passed my position, I activated the patrol car's emergency
lights and initiated a traffic stop. Upon closed approach I noted Ohio
Registration was affixed to the rear of the vehicle. Upon making contact with
the driver, I informed her of the reason for the stop as well as asked for her
driver license, which she was able to produce, with this showing her to be
Eilidh Louise Hatherill.
In speaking with Eilidh, she said that she was unaware of the speed limit on
that particular stretch of roadway. It should also be noted that at this time, I
was advised by dispatch the Eilidk's driver license was under a suspension.
Eilidh however was able to produce proof of driving privileges though Ashland
Municipal Court, which did allow her to driver her infant child to and from
medical appointments. It should be noted that Eilidh had her GPS set to a nearby

building was on scene waiting for an officer to respond.
Upon arrival I spoke with the landlord who advised he showed up on this date to
check the premises and discovered the padlock that he put on the electric meter
was broken off and removed. He also advised he found multiple extension cords
coming from the back of Apartment 19 that was hooked up to the electric meter on

found a small white extension cord attached to a small brown extension cord
coming out of the sliding glass door of the apartment that was connected to a
long orange cord that was connected to 2 other cords plugged into the electric

Naugle stated he did not have any extension cords hooked up in his apartment
that were connected to the meter. I asked him if he minded if I came in to
check. Mr. Naugle stated to meet him around back and he would prove it. I then
walked to the rear of the residence. I found the extension cords to be removed
from inside of the residence and laying on the ground. I asked Kyle why he
unhooked everything. He s t a t e d he did not.

CRIMINAL - 325 S 18th
ARREST: Jacob Fulerton
535 W California, Sebring, OH
CHARGES:
2903.13(A) Assault M-2
2921.31(A) Obstructing official business M-2
Date 09/22/2024 20:54 Officer Reed
At 18:46 hours on September 22, 2024, police responded to a fight in progress
call at a residence in the 300 block of S 18th Street. A Sebring man was
arrested on a charge of assault and obstructing official business as a result.
Due to the fact that I was already responding to an unrelated call, I was unable
to immediately respond. Once I cleared the other call, I responded to the 325 S.
18th Street address. Upon arriving on location, I observed who I know to be
Jacob Fullerton in front of the residence screaming at a group of people in the
front yard. Ptl. Peterman was attempting to speak with Jacob at this time.
Due to Jacob's level of agitation, I instructed him to follow me to the opposite
side of the patrol car, so that it would be more difficult for him to engage
with the other parties. Jacob did follow my instructions, but continued to
scream, with my attempts at calming him in order to get a clear side of events
from him having limited effect.
Jacob said that he was then attacked. Jacob did have a amount of blood around
his mouth that I noticed at this time. he also had a minor scrape to his knee.
Once I was able to somewhat calm Jacob down, he said that he did not want to
pursue charges and was willing to just go home.
Sebring Fire/EMS then arrived on scene after being cleared to do so, with Jacob
speaking with Paramedic who medically cleared him.
In speaking with the other involved parties, I was informed that Jacob had been
involved in a physical altercation because Jacob had threatened to throw a
bottle of Fireball whiskey at after subject not wanting to drive Jacob to Salem
with their children in the car. This being due to her having consumed alcohol
and not feeling it safe to do so.
Subject did admit to punching Jacob with the two then scuffling in the driveway
near a fence row. Subject also said that he did not want to see any charges
pursued. Subject also denied having held Jacob so that another could punch him,
with Subject telling me that he was trying to break the fight up. During this
time Jacob continued to yell and taunt the other involved persons.
I then went with Ptl. Peterman so that Jacob could be taken into custody. When
Ptl. Peterman advised Jacob that he was under arrest, he turned to his back away
from him. I then placed my handcuffs on Jacobs left wrist as well as pulled his
right hand back, with me securing him in my handcuffs, which were properly
spaced and double locked. At this time Jacob continued to scream and tense up,
with me assisting him into patrol car #304.
At this time I went to get witness statements from other involved parties who
were near the residence. During this time I could hear what sounded to be Jacob
striking the inside of the patrol car. In order to prevent Jacob from damaging
government property, injuring himself, or harming officers, I advised him that
if he continued he would be pepper sprayed.
I also at this time instructed Ptl. Vesey to drive Jacob to the police station
so as to remove him from the scene, which was appearing to be a source of
agitation for him. Ptl. Peterman also accompanied due to Jacob's level of
belligerence.
I then collected contact information from all involved, photographed the scene.
It should be noted that a victim did have a minor abrasion below her right eye
that she said was a result of Jacob grabbing her. A Marsy's law packet was later
completed. I then returned to the police station.
Upon arriving on station, Jacob was extremely belligerent. Jacob accused Ptl.
Vesey of excessive braking while he was in the patrol car, with him also
directing multiple hostilities towards me. While in the squad room, Jacob called
this detective defamatory statements involving homosexuality. During this time
officers were attempting to complete booking paperwork and our 911 dispatch
center was attempting to handle phone calls as well as police radio traffic. All
of these functions were hindered as a result of Jacob's belligerence. Because of
this he was also charged with obstructing official business (ORC: 2921.31(A).
Once Jacob was photographed, I removed him from the squad room and placed him
the back of car #304. Ptl. Peterman stood by outside with him. This being so as
to allow dispatch operations to resume and officers to complete paperwork
without disruption.
While walking Jacob outside to the patrol car, he continued to tense up, resist,
as well as scream "help" while outside in the parking lot. It should be noted
that this was while I was attempting to open the door to the patrol car. Once
paperwork was completed, he was transported to the Mahoning County Jail by Ptl.
Peterman. Nothing additional to report.

On 09/16/2024 while on normal cafeteria duty at the Jr/Sr high school, Officer
Melendez was dispatched to 745 N. 17th Street for a possible burglary in
progress. Dispatch advised the caller stated his camera was going off inside of
his residence and there should not be anyone inside of the home. Dispatch
advised the caller is at work at this time. I was then advised by dispatch that
I was needed to respond with Officer Melendez. Myself, Officer Melendez and
Chief Harris arrived on scene.
Upon arrival I secured the front of the residence with my weapon drawn while
Officer Melendez went to the rear of the residence. Officer Melendez advised
over the radio that he found an unsecure door in the rear of the residence. I
then went to the rear of the residence with Officer Melendez, advising back over
the radio to Officer Melendez that blue was coming around the side of the house
to the back so he did not think it was an intruder.
While Chief Harris held the front of the residence. Officers then made entry in
the rear of the residence with our weapons still drawn. Officer's breached the
door with Melendez going in first and this officer having cover. Upon entering
the residence Myself and Officer Melendez announced ourselves as the "Sebring
Police "and stated if anyone was in there to come out and show themselves. A
male subject came out from the first floor of the residence with his hands in
the air from a bedroom who was identified as Jacob Carter. Jacob was held at gun
point and ordered to keep his hands up and to lower himself to the ground.
I kept my position with my weapon aimed at him until Officer Melendez was able
to get Jacob secured in cuffs, double locked and detained. As Officers were
attempting to escort Jacob out of the residence a female subject came out of the
bathroom. She stated she was in the bathroom the whole time officers were there.
She was placed in handcuffs and both parties were escorted out of the residence.
The female was identified as 17 year old juvenile.
She was then patted down and placed in the back of marked unit 304 until
officers could conduct the investigation. Mr. Carter was placed in the back of
marked unit 303 and detained so officers could continue the investigation. Both
subjects were read their Miranda rights at this time while detained in the back
of the marked patrol units.
Myself and Officer Melendez continued to search the home to make sure there was
no one else hiding in the home.
Once the residence was found to be secure, Officers started to check for signs
of forced entry into the home and findings of anything that appeared to be out
of place or rummaged through. It was noticeable there were no lights in the home
and a flash light was found on the floor in the living room coming out the
bedroom. The flash light was on as if it was being used for lighting. Officers
then checked the upstairs of the residence and noticed what appeared to be two
rooms with pad locks on them with visible damage to the locks. Officer requested
the keyholder or homeowner to respond to the scene.
When subject arrived on scene, Myself and Officer Melendez walked through the
residence with him. Subject pointed out that his camera in the living room was
laying on the floor with the battery removed, he also discovered that his safe
in his bedroom had pry marks on it and stated that this was done by him. He also
found tools on the bedroom floor that he stated that were not his. He also
advised there were boxes of items in the living room that were not there before
he left for work.
We then asked him to check the upstairs for any signs of forced entry into any
of the rooms. After checking the upstairs he advised the damage done to the
padlocks were not from him and stated they had attempted to break into the
rooms. He also advised officers that Jacob had been placing stuff in his outside
shed and believes the items to be stolen.
As officers went outside to double check the shed I noticed there were tools on
the back deck that appeared to be scattered. I asked subject if he did this or
was aware of this. He advised he did not. He stated that he knows of a scooter
that was put in the shed and wanted officers to check it out. Myself and Officer
Melendez checked the gas scooter in the shed and identified it as being stolen.
It was then photographed and placed in the back of marked patrol car unit 304.
All of the items and damage in the home were photographed before officers

personnel and seemed confused and agitated at this time. After EMS evaluated

would need prosecutor review/approval on charges and arrest to be made. After
discussing the incident and events leading to todays complaint, prosecutor Gary

On 09/08/2024 @ 1809 hours I responded to the area of North 16th Street and West
Oregon Avenue for a report of a disorderly person.
Ptl. Peterman #505 09/08/2024 22:45
On arrival I spoke with the caller and witnesses. Caller stated that while her
and the witnesses were walking Southbound they observed a small black car drive
north near them. They stated the driver, identified as Sarah Peck, was "staring
at them menacingly". The car then turned right onto West Ohio Avenue. The caller
then stated that Sarah then walked to the alley way behind their residence at
175 1/2 West Ohio Avenue, and was walking towards them.
They stated that a 4 year old minor had been bitten by a bee and was crying and
that was when they state Sarah approached them calling the mother a "child
abuser" and began cursing and yelling at them. The caller and a witness state
that Sarah walked back to the side of a building where she brandished a white
broom and held it up in the air to look like was going to swing it. The caller
and witness stated Sarah then began walking towards the group, reached the end
of the garage behind 185 West Ohio Avenue, then turned around and walked back to
the residence.
At this point I asked the group if they wished to pursue charges against Sarah.
They all advised they did and I asked each person to provide a witness
statement, excluding the 4 year old minor. All parties agreed to provide a
witness statement and I asked them to meet me on station as I did not have
enough statements to give to everyone. They agreed and I left for the residence
at 175 West Ohio Avenue. I advised dispatch I was out at the residence and made
contact with Sarah Peck. Sarah stated to me that the group was "calling her
family members child molesters" along with other insults. I asked Sarah if they
threatened her in any way and she stated they did not. I asked Sarah if she used
a weapon and she stated she did not have a weapon.
I advised her that she was being accused of brandishing something with a white
tube, and approaching the group in a threatening manner. Sarah stated she did
not but was "grabbing the mop to bring back to the house". I asked Sarah if she
wished to provide a witness statement and she stated she would. I gave Sarah a
statement to provide me with and advised her to bring it to station when she was
completed with it.
I cleared and returned to station where I interviewed the witnesses. Two
witnesses stated they observed Sarah with the broom, and all witnesses stated
Sarah was screaming and yelling obscenities at them. I obtained witness
statements from all parties and returned to Sarah Pecks residence. After
retrieving Sarah's witness statement, I determined that there was enough
evidence to arrest Sarah based on the statements.
I advised Sarah of her Miranda Rights and placed her in handcuffs, advising her
she was under arrest for 2917.11 Disorderly Conduct(MM) and 2917.31 Inducing
Panic(M1). I ensured the handcuffs were properly gapped and double locked, and
placed her in the back seat of marked cruiser #303.
I returned to station with Sarah where she was processed, fingerprinted, and
photographed, and given a recognizance bond with a court date of 0911212024 at
MCC#3 0900AM.
Sarah signed the recognizance paper, received a copy, then was given a courtesy
transport back to her residence per her request.

On this date we were called to 175 W Ohio Ave for a theft report.
Ptl. Brindack #504 09/08/2024
On arrival subject said that Edward Mills had stolen her stereo and she wanted
him charged. Sgt. Kelm, Ptl. Vesey, and I explained to subject that this would
likely be a civil issue since Edward lives with her and this is an ongoing issue
with her and Edward. We advised her we would try to find Edward and get her
property back however, we then cleared briefly to search the area for Edward who
has allegedly just left, while we were looking for Edward her returned to
subjects house and upon making contact with him we observed Edward was extremely
intoxicated and had Pill packets surrounding him. We asked him if he had taken
any and he said he took "about twenty". We requested EMS and Sebring fire was
quickly on scene. EMS advised Edward he would have to go to the hospital, and he
refused to get up. After several attempts he was escorted to the ambulance.
I began to search Edwards person for the safety of EMS while doing so Edward
turned towards me and threw a punch, which made light contact with my chin
witnessed by both medics and officers on scene, Edward was put on the ambulance
cot and placed in custody at this time, Edward was tensing and was held down and
handcuffed to the cot, Edward was then transported to Alliance community
hospital, I rode in the back of the ambulance, while Ptl. Vesey followed enroute
Edward ripped off the medical monitors and tried to bite the cords, he was
restrained, and his other hand was also handcuffed to the cot. Edward continued
resisting, tensing all his muscles and went from screaming and cussing to
apologizing and saying he loved us and then back to resisting.
On arrival at the hospital Edward was escorted in by Ptl. Vesey and I along with
two Alliance community hospital security officers. When nurses and hospital
staff began trying to treat Edward he was refusing to let them touch him or take
blood screaming "your not getting my blood" he was constantly trying to get off
the bed. Edward had to be held down so nursing staff could take blood, screaming
he had to pee until Hospital staff allowed him to urinate. Edward was
consistently disorderly and resistive of both officer and staff and was trying
to rip the IV out of his arm, so much so that the Doctor ordered he be put in
soft restraints. Edward was restrained by Hospital security staff. After Edward
was restrained. At this time, I left briefly to move our patrol car. While I was
gone Edward grabbed a security officers' finger and was bending it backwards
apparently trying to break it according to the officer until he was restrained
by Ptl. Vesey.
Edward continued to be disorderly scream random statements and cuss but at one
point said "I didn't mean to swing at you Sean I'm sorry". Edward began slamming
his head against the railing of the bed and had to be held in place by officers.
Edward was given drugs by order of the Doctor but continued his behavior and a
second round of drugs were ordered, and he finally calmed down and went to
sleep. Before falling asleep Edward said multiple times "I'm going to kill
myself'.
The Doctor advised us that due to Edwards high intoxication level and his
self-harm remarks he would need to be held until approximately 11 am. After
conferring with Sgt. Kelm, I cleared the hospital to do this report, while Ptl.
Vesey remained on scene until 0300hrs at which time he would be relieved by Ptl.
Russel.
On station Officer contacted prosecutor Van Brocklin who allowed us to recog
Edward on the misdemeanor charges he had procured and obtain a felony warrant
for Edward Monday so that officer did not have to continually work overtime for
one arrest. He also advised us to forward the assault on the security officer to
the Alliance police department. A recognizance form was drafted and taken to
Edward, however Edward was so unaware of what was going on he was completely
unable to sign the recog from. Sgt. Kelm advised Ptl. Vesey would remain with
Edward until 0300 at which point Ptl. Russel would relieve him until he was
coherent enough to sign the recognizance at which point she would clear.
Edward is charged with (M-1) 2921.31 Obstructing official business, (M-2)
2921.33 resting arrest, and (M-4) 2917.11 disorderly conduct with persist.

At 09:57 hours on August 25,2024,l was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While stationary in the parking lot of Alkogen (500 Courtney Road), I
observed a red Toyota SUV traveling westbound on Courtney Road at a rate of
speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posted 35 MPH
limit. Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a
locked speed of 55 MPH as the vehicle neared Allied Drive.
Once the vehicle approached closer to my location, I activated the patrol car's
overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The driver of the
vehicle brought it to a stop almost immediately upon seeing my emergency lights,
with Ohio Registration being noted as being affixed to the rear of the vehicle.
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I advised her of the reason
for the stop as well as requested her driver license as well as proof of
insurance. The driver was able to produce both requested documents, with her
Ohio Driver License showing her to be Glenda Mae Sharp. In speaking with Sharp,
she said that she was running late to where she was going.

On this date I made a warrant arrest.
Ptl. Brindack #504 04/23/2024
On this date while on patrol on 14th St near Circle K I observed a male I
believed to possibly have a warrant. I loosely followed the male I believed to
be Tyson Culbertson onto 13th St near the high school I radioed to dispatch to
confirm his DLN and relay it to me. Dispatch did so and I ran the DLN on my MDT
and was able to confirm the felony warrant for weapons under disability with
violent tendencies and caution for armed and dangerous. I was also able to pull
up a photo of Tyson on the MDT and confirm his identity.
Tyson was now at Michigan and 13th St, I stopped Tyson I exited my patrol car, I
asked his name, and he did not respond, I told him I knew who he was and that he
had a warrant. He said, "don't do this." And began explaining why he felt the
charges were false. I requested an additional unit because he was not responding
to my orders. Tyson started walking away slowly and when I told him to stop
walking he took off running North towards Vermont Ave I radioed the pursuit to
dispatch I ordered Tyson to stop and drew my Taser pointing it towards Tyson and
said "stop you're going to get tased" . Tyson ran through yards, and I lost him
between two houses on E Wisconsin Ave. Sgt. Kelm had responded to the area and
was now in his patrol car coming down E Wisconsin, I relocated Tyson hiding
behind a house avoiding Sgt. Kelm I did not announce myself and watched from a
distance, because it appeared he was going to hide in an open garage.
Tyson ran across E Wisconsin and was met by Sgt, Kelm, when I came around the
houses Tyson was in the middle of 12th and Wisconsin at taser point by Sgt. Kelm
refusing to follow orders and get on the ground, I ran over as Tryson was
finally laying on the ground, as I began cuffing Tyson he tensed his muscles and
was trying to roll back over, I had to roll him over on his stomach multiple
times and due to how rigid he was making his body I had to use 2 set of cuffs.
After he was cuffed Tyson was sobbing hysterically and began banging his head
against the concrete and saying, "I can't breathe, I'm going to kill myself'.
EMS was immediately requested, and we assisted Tyson to his feet. We walked him
over to Sgt, Kelm's patrol car, uncuffed him removed a backpack he was wearing
and re cuffed him. While patting Tyson down and removing items from his pocket
Tyson told me he had a bag of marijuana in his pant leg near his knee, I was
able to remove said bag by sliding it down his shin and out the bottom of his
pant. He also removed a hard plastic container of Marijuana and white powdery
substance and clear crystal substance from his other pant leg. Sgt. Kelm located
a fake BB gun in Tysons bag.
Tyson became angry and said he fights police and began thrashing towards
officers, it appeared he was trying to head butt us and had to be restrained
against the hood of Sgt, Kelm's car with his back oriented towards the hood,
Tyson did stop resisting and calm down briefly at this point. At this point EMS
was arriving.
EMS had cleared Tyson at this point and one of the additional firemen on scene
had retrieved my patrol car for me as it was still on 13th St where the foot
pursuit began.
Tyson knew his warrant was out of Alliance and said "i'm going to fight APD when
they get here saying this several times several different ways, he said, "you're
going to need everyone" "I hate cops" and "you're lucky that wasn't a real gun"
implying he would have used it against us. Tyson was not willing to enter my
patrol car without us having to force him and we had already relayed to dispatch
that APD would have to come to us.
While waiting for APD we used this time to deescalate Tyson instead of having to
fight him to get in the car. Tyson calmed down significantly during this time.
Units and Amanda were able to convince Tyson not to resist the Alliance police
when they arrived. APD arrived on scene, took custody of Tyson without incident,
and cleared.
The suspected drugs were taken, and field tested on our station. The white
powder was in three separate small bags equaling 8 grams tested positive for
Fentanyl. Two bags of large, crystalized rocks equaling 15 grams did not test
for anything.
Additionally, 32 grams of marijuana in multiple bags, 37 grams of an unknown
dark brown solid, and 3 grams of a light brown wax were taken. An additional
5-gram bag of white powder was found wrapped up inside one of the marijuana. A
small scale was also taken along with a vape that was in the same pocket as the
scale. The white powder and crystalized substance will be sent to BCI for
testing and warrants will be issued pending those results.
On this date 08/20/2024 I (Ptl. Vesey) picked Mr. Culberson up from Stark County
Jail on a active warrant out of Mahoning county. I then transported him to the
Sebring police station for processing then transported him again to the Mahoning

At 21:21 hours on August 16, 2024, Ptl. Vesey and I were conducting traffic
enforcement in marked unit 304. While stationary along the roadside at the
intersection of N. Johnson Road and W. Ohio Avenue, I observed a black Chevrolet
Colorado that was traveling southbound on N. Johnson Road come to the
intersection. The vehicle's rear license plate light was not functional, with me
bringing this to the attention of Ptl. Vesey.
Upon seeing this, Ptl. Vesey pulled onto the roadway, activated the patrol car's
overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle then turned
right onto W. Oregon Avenue before pulling off to the side of the road at Zep's
Pizza (195 N. Johnson Road). At this time, I observed that Ohio Registration was
affixed to the rear of the vehicle. Upon running this registration through the
patrol car's MDT, it showed that it had expired on 08/15/2024.
Ptl. Vesey and I then deployed from the patrol car, with Ptl. Vesey going to the
driver side of the vehicle and making contact with the driver, while I performed
a passenger side approach. While Ptl. Vesey spoke with the driver and advised
him of the reason for the stop as well as collected his information and
documents, I remained at the passenger side of the vehicle.
From this location and plainly visible through the side window, I observed a
12-pack of Busch Beer sitting in the front passenger floorboard area. The box
was opened with it being apparent that several cans had been removed. I also at
this time observed a open can of Busch beer were sitting in the center console
cup holder. The can was immediately evident to me as having been opened, with
the top being plainly visible. A piece of paper was sitting on top of it so as
to prevent it from being visible to Ptl. Vesey, who was still on the driver side
of the vehicle at this time. The placement of this paper appearing to be
intentional.
After Ptl. Vesey finished speaking with the driver, I tapped on his passenger
side window, with him appearing to be alerted to my presence at this time. The
driver advised that the window on this side doesn't work, with him granting me
consent to open the door to speak with him. At this time, I pointed my
flashlight at the open can of beer, with the driver acting as if he did not know
that it was there. I then pointed to the open cardboard 12-pack and asked him
how many he had consumed.
The driver at this time stated, "only two". As I spoke with the driver at this
point, I noticed that his eyes appeared bloodshot and glassy and that his face
had a flushed appearance to it. Due to these indicators of impairment being
present in conjunction with the opened can of beer in the center consol, I asked
the driver to step out of the vehicle so that I could conduct Standardized Field
Sobriety Tests (SFST'S).
The driver then exited the vehicle, with him also providing me with an Ohio
Commercial Driver License that showed him to be Jeffery Allen Davis. I then
began asking Davis if he wore any type of corrective lenses, had any prior head
injuries, or if he had any known issues with his eyes. Mr. Davis advised no to
all of these questions. As I began to prepare to perform the Horizontal Gaze
Nystagmus Test (HGN), Ptl. Vesey approached to witness the test. As Ptl. Vesey
approached, Mr. Davis looked at him, posted in an aggressive stance, and said
something to the effect of "you can back the fuck up". Due to this being an
overt attempt at intimidating a police officer, I informed Mr. Davis that if he
continued, I would charge him with obstructing official business. I also at this
time detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Mr. Davis's
person. I also requested an additional unit to my location.
Upon beginning the HGN test, I informed Mr. Davis that I would need him to keep
his head still and to follow the tip of my finger with his eyes and his eyes
only, as well as to keep his arms at his side. Mr. Davis said that he understood
these instructions. I also asked Mr. Davis if he wore corrective lenses, had any
known issues with his eyes, or if he had any type of head injuries, with him
saying no to all of these questions. I then began the test.
Upon starting, I held the tip of my right pointer finger approximately 14" from
the bridge of Mr. Davis's nose. It should be noted that both pupils appeared to
be of equal size, with no resting nystagmus being present. I also noted that
both eyes tracked equally. It should be noted that at this time I again had to
reiterate to Davis that he was to follow the tip of my finger with his eyes.
This being after he stopped doing so and deviated his glance. I explained to Mr.
Davis that based upon my training and experience in OVI enforcement, this is
something that is commonly done as an attempt to subvert that test.
In going further with the test, I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both of Mr.
Davis's eyes as well as onset of nystagmus prior to 45", as well as distinct and
sustained nystagmus at Maximum deviation. Mr. Davis also again deviated his
glance while I was attempting to perform the maximum deviation portion of the
HGN test. Ptl. Brindack also arrived on scene at approximately this time. In
going further with the battery or tests, I began the walk-and-turn test (WAT). I
began by explaining to Mr. Davis that he was not to start the test until I told
him to do so, and that I would demonstrate it to him first.
Davis at this time made complaints about having an injury and not being able to
properly do the test. I explained to Davis that I would take this into
consideration.
It was then explained to Mr. Davis that I would need him to place his right foot
in front of his left foot, and that he would need to maintained that position
while I explained the test to him. I then explained to Mr. Davis that he would
need to take nine heel-to-toe steps on an imaginary line, counting out loud as
he did so and while keeping his arms at his side. While I was explaining the
test, Mr. Davis started without being told to do so. This being while the test
in it's entirety was being explained to him. I again at this time told him that
I needed to demonstrate the test to him. I then performed the test so as to show
Davis how it needed to be conducted. Davis did start the test, with him using
his arms to balance and taking approximately three steps before saying "we're
done".
I then began explaining the one-leg-stand test (OLS) to Mr. Davis. I advised
Davis that on my command, using the foot of his choice, I would need him to
elevate it approximately 6" off the ground while keeping his arms at his side
and counting in a one-thousand one, one thousand two rhythm and to maintain this
until told to stop. Davis began the test, with him maintaining his balance for
approximately six seconds before putting his foot on the ground.
At this time, I decided that based upon Mr. Davis's performance on the
standardized field sobriety tests, that he would be placed under arrest for OVI.
I then placed Mr. Davis in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and
double-locked. I also read Mr. Davis his Miranda Rights, with him stating that
he was not going to provide a breath sample or say anything further. I informed
Mr. Davis that he was going to be taken to the Alliance Police Department where
he would be offered a breathalyzer. Mr. Davis's brother was also called to the
scene to pick up his truck. Ptl. Vesey also asked for a time stamp through
dispatch to mark the beginning of the 20-minute observation period. This time
stamp was at 21:34. I also photographed the beer can and opened 12-pack as they
appeared. The can of beer was also found to be cold to the touch and half full.
This being determined after consent to enter the vehicle was granted by Davis
who wished to have his cell phone and wallet retrieved.
Ptl. Vesey and I then transported Mr. Davis to the Alliance Police Department,
where we met with Ptl. Palozzi, of the Alliance Police Department. I then read
the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) 2255 form to Mr. Davis, with him also
being provided with a copy to use to follow along and read on his own. Mr. Davis
was then provided with a chance to provide a breath sample, which he refused to
provide. It should be noted that Davis made statements about "learning from the
last time" referencing a prior arrest for OVI. Davis also stated that during
this arrest he provided a breath sample because he knew that he was drunk but
this time he was refusing because he was not. Mr. Davis was then transported
back to the Sebring Police Station for arrest processing.
Once at the Sebring Police Station, Mr. Davis was photographed and fingerprinted
with the BMV 2255 being finished with Davis being given a signed and completed
copy. I also checked Davis's driving record, noting a 2015 conviction for OVI.
This record was added by Alliance Municipal Court on 10/26/2015. Mr. Davis was
provided with Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032647. Davis was cited for OVI (ORC:
4511.19(A)(1)(A)), OVI Refusal (ORC: 4511.19(A)(2)), Taillights and illumination
of rear license plate (ORC: 4513.05), and Opened container of beer or
intoxicating liquor prohibited at certain premises (ORC: 4301.62). Davis refused
to sign the citation, with him saying that he knows it to be an admission of
guilt.
Davis, however, was given his copy of the citation which clearly noted his
requirement to appear at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday,
August 22, 2024. It was also made explicitly clear to Davis that he was under an
Administrative License Suspension. Throughout this time, it should be noted that
Davis hostile remarks about how he had driven his truck for a long time and that
suddenly his tag light was an issue. This statement indicating knowledge of the
tag light being burned out. Davis then signed a recognizance form before being
released to his brother.
Nothing additional to report.

On 25July24 I (PtI. Melendez) conducted a Traffic stop in the 800 Block Of W
Ohio Ave in my Marked patrol vehicle 304. Prior to exiting my vehicle I made
sure to place my vehicle at an angel so that oncoming east bound traffic could
see me and my vehicle.
While speaking with the operator of the Motor Home I observed a white GMC SUV
pass me at a High Rate of speed within a foot and a half from my person. At this
time I (Ptl. Melendez) advised PtI. Vesey and Ptl. Brindack who were coming to
provide assistance to conduct a traffic stop with the vehicle. After verifying
that my operator of the motor home was valid I then issued him a verbal warning
for rear Illumination and also I advised the driver to place his temporary tag
in a visible area so that it may be seen by law enforcement. I then cleared my
stop and made contact with the other units.
Upon exiting my marked patrol vehicle I then observed PtI. Brindack conducting
SFST"s. A short time later Ptl. Brindack then advised Mary Hyronimus that she
was under arrest for DUl. I then waited for Sebring tire to arrive to take

On this date Iintiated a traffic stop which resulted ni an OVI arrest.
PtI. Brindack 504 07/25/2024
On this date I was dual unit with Ptl. Vesey who is in field training and was
driving at the time, we were headed West bound on W Ohio Ave near Johnson and
Ohio Ave enroute to back up Ptl. Melendez who had requested us as back up on a
traffic stop in the 800 block of W Ohio Ave. We heard Ptl. Melendez urgently
exclaim on the radio that he was almost struck by a white SUV which was now
headed towards us and requested we stop the vehicle, we observed the white GMC
SUV headed towards us and Ptl. Vesey activated his siren and flipped around on
the vehicle the vehicle came to a complete stop in the 600 block of W Ohio Ave.
The vehicle is a white GMC.
I approached the driver identified as Mary Hyronimus and informed here she had
failed to yield for an emergency vehicle and almost struck an officer who was on
a traffic stop, she said I "couldn't see because of the lights" as she spoke I
detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming of of her person
particularly when she spoke, I also observed she was extremely nervous and had
altered slightly slurred speech, I asked her if she had been drinking and she
said "yes" I asked her to step out of the vehicle and asked how much she drank
she answered a" six pack". I asked when she stopped drinking and she said, "an
hour ago". I asked her to perform field sobriety and she said she would.
I started with the medical screen asking her of she had any eyes or head
injuries she said aside from glasses no. I instructed Mary to stand in the
instructional position with her feet together and arms down at her sides with
her hands held like she is holding rolls of quarters. Mary was unable to put her
feet together, but otherwise complied. I began checking Mary's eyes by holding a
stimulus, in this case the tip of my pen about 12 inches in front of Mary and
instructed her to follow the pen with her eyes and eyes only and told her not to
move her head. I checked for equal pupil size, equal tracking and no resting
nystagmus, I did observe equal pupils, equal tracking and observed no resting
nystagmus.
I continued with the HGN test and observed the following clues lack of smooth
pursuit in both eyes, on set prior to 45 degrees ni her right eye, her left eye
was difficult to see because she was squinting, I also observed distinct and
sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, particularly in her right
eye. She also moved her head multiple times after being told not to multiple
times.
I then moved on to the walk and turn test. I placed Mary in the instructional
position once again and told her to stay in that position. I explained to her
she was going to imagine a straight line and place her right foot in front of
her left foot, walk 9 heel to toe steps in a line, make a series of small steps
and then walk 9 heel to toe steps back, counting out loud and making she her
heels touched her toes each time. I showed her and example with only three steps
but explained she would be doing 9.
She said she understood, and I told her to begin, Mary walked 9 steps without
touching heel to toe did not count aloud and stopped after walking 9 steps
forward she did not try to follow directions at all while walking back.
Mary was then placed under arrest for suspicion on OVI and placed in the back of
our patrol car.
I requested a tow truck and asked dispatch to inform Alliance PD we would be
bringing someone in for a breath test. Ptl. Melendez had cleared his traffic
stop and was now on scene with us.
Ptl. Melendez said he would stay with the vehicle and wait for the tow. Ptl.
Vesey and I cleared the scene and took Mary to our station, retrieved a BMV 2255
form and then took Mary to the Alliance Police department.
While enroute we read the 2255 form to Mary with Ptl. Vesey bearing witness to
me reading it to her. Mary agreed to give a breath sample.
On arrival to APD Mary signed the 2255 and an Alliance officer attempted to get
Mary to give a breath sample on their intoxilyzer however Mary was unable to
provide a sufficient breath sample, and was not blowing correctly into the
machine at one point sucking in air instead of blowing out. After attempting
multiple times, we had to take the test as a refusal.
We cleared APD, and brought Mary back to our station. On station Mary was
processed and given a copy of the 2255, and a recognizance form.
Mary was issued a citation for OVI refusal 4511.19 (A) (2) and failure to yield

front of Richard, the vehicle turned right and Richard proceeded to turn left
without making a complete stop himself, I activated my lights and siren, Richard
turned right unto the Columbiana side of 12th St and accelerated his vehicle,
which being a sports car picked up speed rapidly.
I believed at this point Richard was trying to flee and called it out as a
pursuit. Richard immediately stopped about one block from where he accelerated,
I advised dispatch he had now stopped. I exited my vehicle and informed Richard
for the reason he was stopped, Richard became argumentative and said we were not
allowed to follow him into Columbiana County. He also began arguing that he was
not also required to make a stop because he stopped behind the vehicle in front
of him.
I asked him to step out of the car and he did not comply, I ordered him out of
the car and he continued arguing, I opened his car door and ordered him out as
Ptl. Melendez arrived with his taser drawn. Richard exited the vehicle and
complied from this point forward. Katherine Cox the passenger was allowed to
remain in the car. I took Richard's license and ran him through my MDT which
confirmed he was suspended. Richard argued that our system was wrong until he
looked himself up on the Ohio bmv website on his phone which also showed he was

Arrest: Nikki Welsh
LKA 941 Knox School Road Alliance, Ohio
Charge: 2925.11 (Warrant)Possession of Controlled Substance(F5)
On this date Units responded to the corner of Ohio Ave and 15th St for reports
of an argument between male and female.

07/20/2023
At 18:17 hours on 07/20/2023, Ptl. Brindack and I responded to the corner of N.
15th Street and Ohio Avenue for a report of people fighting. Upon arriving, I
observed a male subject, who I had observed approximately 20 minutes beforehand
sitting on the bench at the intersection with who I know to be Nikki Welsh. The
male subject was walking westbound on Ohio Avenue, approximately 50 yards from
the intersection. He then turned and and noticed Ptl. Brindack and I, with him
then turning around and approaching. At this time, I also noticed that Welsh was
still sitting on the bench. I then instructed Ptl. Brindack to speak with the
male subject while I spoke with Welsh.
As I approached Welsh, I noted that she appeared upset. This being evident by
face and eyes being red as if she had been crying and her appearing to be
attempting to catch her breath. I asked Welsh what was the matter, with her
informing me that she and her boyfriend, Zakariah Blake, had been arguing over a
pair of lost glasses. Welsh denied any threats or violence had occurred between
the two.
As I continued speaking with Welsh, I asked her for consent to search her purse
and bags. Welsh freely and voluntarily provided consent for me to search the
bags, with me locating a rolled piece of aluminum foil in the purse. Upon
noticing this item in my hand, Welsh said "fuck" several times. I asked her that
was inside of the foil, with Welsh saying "probably meth". Welsh also appeared
to be becoming more agitated after telling me this.
Due to the nature of the search transitioning from a consent search to a
probable cause search and Welsh's behavior, I decided to secure her in
handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked. It should be noted that
Welsh also advised that she was not pregnant. I then unrolled the foil, locating
a tight-colored, crystalline substance inside. Based upon my training and
experience, this substance did appear to be methamphetamine.
I then asked Ptl. Brindack to walk back to the police station to retrieve a
field testing kit. Ptl. Brindack did so, with him returning several minutes
later with a field test as well as a marked patrol car, which I did secure Welsh
in the back of.
The substance was then tested, with it testing positive to be methamphetamine.
At this time I read Welsh her Miranda Rights, which she said that she
understood. Welsh also informed Ptl. Brindack and I that she had been on her way
to the hospital before being stopped, with this being for her having some sort
of parasitic infestation on her skin. It should be noted that Welsh did appear
to have scabs and sores on various spots of her exposed skin.
Welsh was then transported to the Sebring Police Station where she was processed
on one count of possessing drug abuse instruments for the rolled foil. It was
advised by Sgt. Kelm to release her on an own recognizance bond and apply for a
warrant at a later time for possessing the methamphetamine.
Sebring Fire/EMS was called with their agency transporting welsh to the hospital
for treatment of her parasitic issues.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

At 21:27 hours on June 21, 2024, an officer observed a vehicle commit a motor
vehicle violation on Georgia Avenue at S. 15th Street. A traffic stop was
conducted with methamphetamine and related paraphernalia being located. The
driver of the vehicle was subsequently arrested on several drug related charges
as we! as cited for a moving violation.
At 21:27 hours on June 21, 2024, 1 was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 303. While patrolling eastbound in the 100 block of W. Georgia Avenue, I
observed a silver Lincoln Town Car, that was traveling the same direction in
front of me on W. Georgia Avenue, turn left onto S. 15th Street. with the
vehicle failing to signal for the turn until approximately 20 to 25 feet away
from the intersection. Upon observing this motor vehicle violation, I activated
the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The
vehicle came to a complete stop in front of Williams & Case Insurance Agency (60
S. 15th Street).
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, whom I knew as Nicola D.
Strother, from prior encounters, I advised her of the reason for the stop as
well as requested her driver license. Nicola was unable to provide this, with
her in turn telling me that the vehicle was registered to her. I also noted that
Strother appeared nervous, as was evident by her recessing herself into her seat
while I spoke with her and appearing to avoid looking directly at me.
I then returned to my patrol car, with me also requesting Sgt. Kelm to respond
to my location with Kg, Radar, due to my knowledge of Strother's involvement
with illicit drug activity in the recent past. While searching for Strother's
information on my patrol car's mobile data terminal (MDT), Sgt. Kelm arrived on
location. At this time, I asked Nicola to exit her vehicle and speak with me. In
speaking with Strother, I asked her if there was anything in the vehicle that a
K9 would alert to, with her saying that there was not. Strother then gave
consent for me to search the vehicle as well as her purse. This consent being
received in the presence of Sgt. Kelm. In searching the purse that Strother had
on her person when she exited the vehicle, I located a aluminum "Snus" container
that contained a rolled up dollar bill. Inside this dollar will was a
light-colored crystalline substance, which based upon my training and experience
was immediately evident to be crystal methamphetamine, a schedule ll controlled
substance.
It should be noted that while I was searching through the purse prior to this
discovery. Strother appeared to become more nervous, with this being indicated
by her pacing around. Also present in the purse was a torch style lighter,
commonly used to inhale methamphetamine through smoking, as well as Strother's
Ohio Driver License.
I then secured Strother in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and
double-locked, with me advising her that I would be conducting a field-test to
determine if the substance was in fact methamphetamine. I then secured Strother
in the back of my patrol I car, while Sgt. Kelm conducted a probable cause
search of the vehicle. Ptl. 8rindack, who also had arrived on location by this
time, went to the police station to retrieve field-test kits.
Upon arriving back on scene, Ptl, Brhdack provided me with department issued
Mobile Detect Field Test Kits, which did I show the substance to in fact be
methamphetamine. Sgt. Kelm also discovered a small black container in the
vehicle that contained a Suboxone strip (Buprenorphine) strip, with this active
ingredient being a schedule IV-controlled substance, as well as a glass pipe
with burn residue, consistent with said device being used to ingest illicit
substances, including methamphetamine.
I then returned to the back of my patrol car where I read Strother her Miranda
Rights, with her saying that she understood I them and was willing to speak with
me about this matter. I also informed her that she was under arrest for a felony
charge of possession of controlled substances as well as misdemeanor charge of
illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia.
At this time Strother told me that the contraband must belong to her boyfriend,
Ryan Bandy, and that he must have put it in her bag to get her arrested. Sebring
tire then arrived on location with the vehicle being towed to their impound lot.
Units then cleared from the scene, with me transporting Strother to the police
station for processing.
Once on station, the suspected methamphetamine was weighed on the department's
digital scale, with it being found to weigh at two grams, not including
packaging weight. This being under the bulk amount and possession of being a
felony of the fifth degree. Paperwork for commitment to the Mahoning County Jail
was completed by Sgt. Kelm and I with Strother being photographed and processed.
A search of her Computerized Criminal History (CCH) through OHleg showed that a
DNA profile was already in the database from prior felony arrests. with a
standard not being collected because of this. While on station, Strother made
statements about willingly giving consent and that Ryan Bandy must have put the
item in her possession because she did not know that they were there. This being
in the audio/video recorded squad room. Once all paperwork was completed,
Strother was transported to the Mahoning County Jail by Ptl. Demski, on charges
of possession of controlled substances (ORC: 2925.11(A)), and illegal use or
possession of drug paraphernalia (ORC: 2925.14). It should also be noted that I
issued Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032641 to Strother. This citation being for
stop and turn signals (ORC: 4511.39), for her failing to signal for her turn the

Date 06/23/2024 02:05 Officer Peterman
On 06/22/2024 @ 2349 hours I initiated a traffic stop resulting In an OVI
arrest.
As I was performing OVI saturation patrol, Sgt Kelm. #503 contacted me via radio
and informed me of a possible intoxicated driver that nearly struck an innocent
bystander at the Log Cabin bar heading southbound on South 15th Street. I
advised Sgt. Kelm that I was on South 15th Street at the intersection of Texas
Avenue and did not observe any vehicles. I safely performed a U-Turn near
Sebring fire station #2 and headed back South to see if I could locate the
vehicle in question, which was currently unknown at this time. As I headed South
near the 1200 block of South 15th Street, I observed a gray truck, bearing
license plate KDQ5132 in the driveway in the 1200 block of South 15th Street. I
pulled into a driveway safely, and utilized my Mobile Data Terminal(MDT) to run
a registration plate check. The plate returned to a Donald Scott Lynn of Beloit
with a previously convicted OVI charge in 2023.
The truck in question had now turned back Northbound on South 15th Street. As I
caught up to the vehicle, I observed the vehicle traveling in the middle of the
center line with no oncoming traffic. The vehicle made a jerking motion back
into the lane, nearly striking multiple mailboxes, then moving back into the
oncoming lane several times. I activated my emergency overhead lights and
audible siren about 1/10th of a mile south of South 15th Street and West
Kentucky Avenue. The vehicle continued moving, with the driver turning on the
right turn signal, then pulling off into the grassy area just North of the
aforementioned intersection. I got onto #303s loudspeaker and commanded the
driver to shut off the vehicle which the driver did as commanded and placed the
keys onto the roof of the vehicle. I then performed a passenger side approach
and identified myself and my affiliation. The driver, later identified as Donald
Scott Lynn , seemed slightly nervous. I advised Mr. Lynn of the reason for the
stop being the multiple left of center violations. Mr. Lynn did not give me a
straight answer as to why he went left of center so many times, and advised me
multiple times "I'm fine", and "It's all good". I noted that Mr. Lynns eyes
appeared very glossy and red. As I spoke with Mr. Lynn. I began noting a smell
of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. Sgt. Kelm #503, and Ptl. Demski
#509 arrived on scene at this time. I asked Mr. Lynn for his license. Mr. Lynn
did procure me his license. I asked Mr. Lynn if he had any alcoholic beverages
to drink tonight, and he stated hesitantly "Just a couple". Mr. Lynns words
appeared to be slurred and spoken slowly, as well as Mr. Lynn kept repeating the
same words he would previously state.
I asked Mr. Lynn I would be performing Standardized Field Sobriety Tests(SFSTs)
to ensure he was okay to drive and asked if he would consent to that and he
advised "yes". I requested Ptl. Demski to return to my marked cruiser #303 ad
his marked cruiser #302 to shut off all front emergency over head lights and he
did. I requested Mr. Lynn to step out of his his marked cruiser #302 to shut off
all front emergency over head lights and he did. I requested Mr. Lynn to step
out of his truck and he complied. I escorted Mr. Lynn over to flat surface of
road where there was a straight line dug into the road that Mr. Lynn could use
for his testing. I asked if Mr. Lynn was wearing prescription glasses or contact
lenses and he stated he was wearing contact lenses. I asked if he was able to
see the tip of the green lighted pen I placed in front of him and he stated he
could see it and had no issue. I then began my testing and observed the
following:
Equal Pupil Sizes in left and right eyes
Negative Resting Nystagmus
Equal tracking of left and right eyes
During my Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus testing I observed the following clues:
2 clues Lack Of Smooth Pursuit in Left and Right eyes with rapid twitching
response (while holding pen 2 seconds out, and 2 seconds back over each eye)
2 clues Distinct and Sustained Nystagmus at Maximum Deviation for both left and
right eyes with rapid twitching response (Held for 4 seconds maximum in each
eye)
2 clues Onset of Nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both left and right eyes with
rapid twitching response(held to a speed of 4 seconds to 45 degrees)
Positive results for Vertical Nystagmus
For a total of 6 out 6 clues for the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test
During the instruction stage of the walk and turn test Mr. Lynn was observed
having difficulty balancing his body as he did shift his upper body back and
forth. As I was instructing Mr. Lynn on the walk and turn test, he advised he
"was done". I asked Mr. Lynn if he was refusing further testing and he stated
"yes".
Given the total clues, I did find enough probable cause and clues to arrest Mr.
Lynn on Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence(OVI). I placed Mr. Lynn In
handcuffs, ensuring they were properly gapped and double locked, and placed Mr.
Lynn in the rear passenger side of #303. I instructed Mr. Lynn his Miranda
Warning and waiver.
After instructing Mr. Lynn his Miranda warning and waiver. I asked Mr. Lynn if
he wished to say anything and he stated he did not. Mr. Lynn he was advised he
was under arrest for OV1(4511.19)(Ml). Mr. Lynn was patted down for weapons,
which none were found. Mr. Lynn was noted to be respectful during the entire
encounter. Officers requested a tow from dispatch and it was advised Springers
Towing would be enroute. Sgt. Kelm stayed on scene with the vehicle and
performed a vehicle property inventory as he waited for Springers Towing. I
cleared for Alliance Police with the male in custody.
On arrival at Alliance PO Mr. Lynn was patted down for weapons again and led
inside the booking and lntoxilyzer area. Alliance Ptl. Caughey, and Ptl. Wilson
#320 assisted me in gaining access to the area and processing of Mr. Lynn. Mr.
Lynn was read the BMV form 2255 and advised of his options to provide a breath
sample to the Intoxilyzer, or refuse the breath test after the 20-minute wait
period. Mr. Lynn advised me he would like to refuse the breath test. All
information was filed accordingly with the lntoxilyzer and BMV Form 2255. After
completion I cleared with Mr. Lynn to complete the booking process at the
Sebring Police Department.
I cleared Alliance Police Department, and took Alliance-Sebring Road back to
station.
Upon arrival back to Sebring Police Station, I led Mr. Lynn to our booking area
where he was processed fully and released with a citation on Uniform Traffic
Citation #032574 for OVI(M 1 )(ORC 4511.1 9)(A), OVI(Refusal)(M1
)(4511.19)(A)(2), and Left of Center(MM)(4511.29). Mr. Lynn was placed back into
cruiser #303 then provided a courtesy transport to his residence at 18082 Derr
Road.
Upon arrival I ensured he made it inside his residence.
Upon arrival back on station, Sgt. Kelm pulled the audio and video evidence from
Cruiser #303 for future court use.
I then cleared without further incident.

Charge: ORC: 4510.11 Driving under suspension (MU)
At 13:20 hours on June 19,2024, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 303. While patrolling through the 200 block of E. Ohio Avenue, I conducted
a registration check on a tan Honda Accord that was parked in the parking lot of
Circle K (305 E. Ohio Avenue). The registration showed as belonging on a 2007
Honda Accord, tan in color, that was registered to a Eric C. Hoppel. Mr.
Hoppel's driver license showed as being under a non-compliance suspension
through Columbiana County Municipal Court.
I the observed a male driver leave in the vehicle, pulling onto N. 14th Street
before turning and starting westbound on E. Ohio Avenue. At this time, I
activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic
stop, with the vehicle coming to a complete stop in the 100 block of E. Ohio
Avenue.
Upon approaching, I made contact with the driver and informed him of the reason
for the stop. The driver identified himself as Eric Hoppel, with him producing
an Ohio Driver License. Hoppel said that he couldn't think of a reason that his
driver license would be suspended, other than a citation that he received in St.
Clair Twp. I also at this time identified Mr. Hoppel's passenger, whose driver
license was also not valid.
Upon returning to my patrol car and verifying the suspension I began drafting an
E-Cite. Mr. Hoppel was cited for driving under suspension (ORC: 4510.11). I
assigned Mr. Hoppel a mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 at
09:00 hours on Thursday, June 27,2024. Mr. Hoppel then signed the citation, was

Charges:
ORC:2913.02(A)(l) Theft (M-1) X2
ORC:2921.31(A) Obstructing official business (M-2) X-4
At 11:51 hours on June 13, 2024, an administrative search warrant was executed
at a auto repair shop in the 100 block of W. Ohio Avenue. the business owner was
subsequently arrested for two counts of misdemeanor theft and four counts of
obstructing official business.
On June 13, 2024, Village Law Director, Gary Van Brocklin, advised me of an
administrative search warrant that was going to be executed on Dailey's
Automotive Sales & Service (155 W. Ohio Avenue). This being due to the owner of
the business, Spencer Dailey, denying employees of the utilities department
access to the business to obtain a reading on the meter so that they could get a
reading on it since September of 2023.
Van Brocklin then obtained a search warrant as well as accompanying affidavit
for the property, with a color photograph also being provided. At the
instruction of Van Brocklin, I was told execute this warrant and allow the
foreman of the service department, access to the meter. I then took the search
warrant and affidavit, which had been signed by Judge Joseph Schiavoni, of
Mahoning County Court #3, and went to meet with Service Department Foreman at
the Sebring Police Station.
In speaking with, service mgr, about the matter, he informed me that on four
separate occasions, the utility department had been denied access to the
building and it's internal water meter, which is needed to read it in order to
determine usage. Service mgr, advised that access had been denied by the
business' owner, Spencer Dailey. Service mgr, informed me at this time that his
supervisor wanted to accompany him to check the status of the water service in
the building, with service mgr, then agreeing to meet Ptl. Russell and I at the
business.
Upon arriving at Dailey's Auto, Ptl. Russell and I made contact with service mgr
as well as an employee of the business, in speaking with employee, I informed
him that I had a search warrant for the business, with me then entering through
the unsecured front door. Employee would also later advised that when he called
employee to advised that law enforcement and the utility department was at the
business, he told him to not allow anyone inside.
Upon entering the garage area, Service mgr showed me where the water meter was
supposed to be, with it being found that the meter had been removed an a
straight metal pipe put in it's place. This pipe appearing to be fresh based
upon the color disparity between it and surrounding piping. Water was confirmed
to be on through the use of a sink directly next to the area where the water
meter had formerly been. I then began photographing the area of the piping, with
employee being asked to contact Spencer Dailey and see if he would come to the
business. Service Mgr and I also began searching the business, with the water
meter not being located. Service Mgr said that the water meters were new and
that the village had paid $171.00 a piece for them.
After several minutes of searching the building, Chief Harris and Prosecutor Van
Brocklin arrived on scene. After advising Van Brocklin of the facts and
circumstance surrounding the incident, he advised to go forth with two separate
charges of theft (ORC: 2913.02(A)(1)). This being one count for the theft of the
water and a separate count for the theft of the water meter. In addition to
this, four counts of obstructing official business (ORC: 2921.31(A)) were
approved. This being for the for instances where Dailey had denied the utility
department access to the water meter. Van Brocklin advised that should Dailey
arrive, to place him under arrest the these charges.
Several minutes later, who I know to be Spencer Dailey arrive on location. I
advised Spencer of his Miranda Rights, with him saying that he understood and
was unwilling to speak with me.
At this time I place him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double
locked, with me informing him that he was under arrest. Van Brocklin advised of
the charges and the reasons for them. I then placed Dailey in the back of car
#303 before transporting him to the Sebring Police Station. Once on station,
Dailey was photographed, fingerprinted, and released on a personal recognizance
bond after being advised of his mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3
at 09:00 hours on Thursday, June 20, 2024. It should be noted that throughout
the booking processed Dailey was argumentative and hostile. Nothing additional
to report.
Det. Reed #508
At 14:45 hours on June 13, 2024, I received a four route sheets from Service Mgr
listing the dates that the utility department had been denied access to the
building. These dates were 09/01/2023, 12/04/2023, 03/01/2024, and 06/03/2024.
The search warrant, affidavit, and inventory sheet were also prepared for return

At 12:01 hours on June 11, 2024, Ptl. Abu-Ghannam and I were conducting traffic
enforcement in marked unit 302. While stationary in the alleyway to the north of
the 400 block of E. Ohio Avenue at N. 12th Street, I conducted a registration
check on a green Chevrolet Silverado, that was traveling southbound on N. 12th
Street. The vehicle showed as being registered to a Carrie Mitchel, with the
expiration date having been on 09/14/2023. The vehicle by this time had turned
right and began west bound in the 300 block of E. Ohio Avenue. I at this time,
instructed Ptl. Abu-Ghannam to initiate a traffic stop.
Upon catching up with the vehicle in the parking lot of Circle K (205 E. Ohio
Avenue), I exited the patrol car and made contact with the male driver.
Upon informing the driver of the reason for the stop, I asked for his driver
license, with him telling me that he only had an ID Card. The subject then
produced an Ohio Identification Card that showed him to be Michael Allen
Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell at this time said that he did not know if he had a valid
driver license or not.
I then returned to my patrol car where I searched both the vehicle as well as
Mr. Mitchell's information through LEADS. Mr. Mitchell showed as being under a
failure to reinstate status and the vehicle was again confirmed to have an
expired registration.
At this time, I began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032639. I cited
Mitchell for failure to reinstate license (ORC: 4510.21) as well as owner
required to file application-taxes (ORC: 4503.11). Due to Mr. Mitchell admitting
to not having valid insurance on the vehicle, his driver license status, and the
fact that the registration had expired almost nine months prior, Sebring Tire
was called to tow the vehicle. An administrative inventory of the vehicle was
conducted, with nothing of value being located.
Once Sebring Tire cleared from the stop, Mr. Mitchell was given a courtesy ride
to his employer at the industrial park. Units then cleared. It should also be
noted that Mitchell signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his
mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday,

ORC 4511.43 Failure to Yield
On 06/06/24 I was called to the corner of W. Ohio and Johnson Rd. for a two car
crash.
Ptl. Demski #509
Upon arrival I found a red sedan had struck a Chevy truck. I spoke to Jacob
Fullerton, the driver of the red car who told me that he was turning south onto
Johnson Rd. when he hit the Chevy truck as it was proceeding east on Ohio Ave.
While speaking to Jacob, I noticed that his speech was slurred and he was
unsteady on his feet, swaying and staggering. I asked Jacob if he had consumed
alcohol, and he stated that he had not. I also noticed Jacobs pupils were
dilated and he had a pack of cigarillos in his back pocket. I asked Jacob if had
smoked marijuana recently and told me he was going to when he got home.
After talking to Jacob for several minutes . I noticed the faint odor of a
fruity odor of a alcoholic beverage coming from his person. I asked Jacob if he
was willing to submit to a standardized field sobriety test and he agreed. I
asked Jacob if he had any head injuries. or injuries that would prevent him from
taking a test and he told me he did not. I asked if he wore contacts and told me
no.
SFST
HGN
I had Jacob stand with his feet together and hands down at his side. I
instructed Jacob to remain in that position for the remainder of the test. I
held the stimulus 12 inches from his nose at brow level.
A lack of smooth pursuit was observed in both eyes. Both eyes tracked equally.
I checked for horizontal gaze nystagmus at maximum deviation. I observed both
eyes had distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation. I checked both
eyes twice holding the stimulus at maximum deviation for 8 seconds each time.
I then checked for nystagrnus prior to 45 degrees. I noticed both eyes had
nystagrnus prior to 45 degrees.
I then checked for a lack of convergence by having Jacob follow the stimulus in
a circular motion, making two full circles before bringing the stimulus towards
his nose. I did not see a lack of convergence.
Walk and turn
I had Jacob stand with his right foot in front of his left and asked him to keep
his hands at his side. I then demonstrated the walk and turn and described him
how to perform the test. I instructed Jacob to take nine heel to toe steps. I
instructed him to take a series of small steps to the left, around his left foot
once he reached his ninth step and walk back nine heel to toe steps. I
instructed Jacob to not use his arms for balance, look at his feet, and count
his steps out loud.
Jacob acknowledged that he understood the instructions and began the test. I
observed Jacob did not walk heel to toe. He stepped off-line on steps 3 and 4,
he walked 13 steps instead of 9 and pivoted on his left foot instead of taking
small steps. Jacob never counted out loud.
One leg stand
I had Jacob stand with his feet together and hands at his side while I explained
and demonstrated the one leg stand.
I demonstrated that he would extend either leg six inches off the ground, look
at his foot and count out loud " one thousand one, one thousand two ..." until I
told him to stop. I used my wristwatch to keep track of time and observed Jacob
as he began. Jacob dropped his foot several times and needed his arms to
balance. After 30 seconds I had Jacob stop.
I then placed Jacob under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I took Jacob to Alliance
Police Department for the breath alcohol test.
Upon arrival, I read Jacob the consequences of refusal on the BMV 2255. Jacob
agreed to submit to the test and signed the 2255 form. Ptl. Toussant
administered the test resulting in a reading of a BAC of .178. While preparing
the BAC machine, Ptl. Toussant asked Jacob was at the Brickhouse, a local bar.
Jacob stated " close. The pub." The pub refers to the Oregon Pub, a bar in town.
Jacob was brought back for processing. Jacob was cited for ORC 4511.19 OVI and
ORC 4511.43 failure to yield. Jacob was released to a sober driver and advised
of his court date of 6113124 at 9am, Mahoning County Court number three.

At 17:34 hours on May 16,2024, I responded to a report of a two-car
motor-vehicle crash at the intersection of N. Johnson Road and W. Ohio Avenue.
Upon arriving on location. I observed a red Chevrolet Cruze in the intersection
facing northwest. The vehicle had moderate damage to the passenger side and the
airbags were deployed. A silver Chevrolet Silverado was facing east on Ohio
Avenue, with slight damage to the front bumper.
As I approached closer to the scene. I noticed that the Silverado was occupied
by a single female occupant, who was sitting in the driver seat. This later
being determined to be Sara Gossiaux.. At this time, I made sure that Gossiaux
was not injured, I moved on to check on the occupants of the red Cruze, with me
noticing a younger male subject sitting on corner lawn near the vehicle. This
later being determined to be who had been the single occupant of the Cruze. It
should be noted that I did ask Dennison if he was injured, with him saying that
he was not. I however did request EMS to my location to check him out as a
precautionary measure.
In speaking with Dennison, he informed me that he had been traveling southbound
on N. Johnson Road, with him stopping for the clearly marked stop sign at the
four-way intersection. Dennison said that he nearly made it through when he was
struck by the silver pickup truck, with this spinning his car almost completely
around. I also at this time spoke with witness, who had been traveling
northbound on N. Johnson at the same intersection at the time of the crash. Both
said that they observed the silver pickup truck enter the intersection without
stopping at the stop sign, with both saying that the driver followed the vehicle
in front of them. The truck then struck the red Cruze, with it spinning it out
and nearly striking their vehicle.

At 15:57 hours on May 16,2024, I responded to an unknown disturbance call at 195
W. Maryland Avenue.
Upon arriving on location immediately after Ptl. Brindack, I observed, who I
know to be, standing in the middle of the block. Subject was screaming in the
direction of her residence, with it being directed at her grandmother and
brother, Kiyan Welty. At this time Ptl, Brindack was already with subject and
Kiyan, so I began speaking with in an effort to determine what was going on.
At this time subject began making statements about having been in a verbal
argument with her brother, Kiyan, and him pushing her as well as breaking her
cell phone when she told him that she was going to call the police. Subject went
on to say that the two began arguing for unknown reasons while in the kitchen
area of the home, with her brother then shoving her before she began hitting
him.
It should be noted that I was informed by Ptl. Brindack that neither persons nor
Kiyan wished to cooperate to pursue charges. I did speak with both Kiyan and
subject and confirmed this. Sebring Fire/EMS was also called to asses the minor
abrasions that Kiyan had. Many of which, including those to his hands, were
caused from punching walls during the argument. Kiyan also did admit to me to
having smashed his sister's phone when she told him that she was going to call
911 after according to him, she assaulted him.
I then approached Kiyan, placed him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and
double-locked, as well as informed him that he was under arrest for criminal
damaging. I then transported Kiyan to the Sebring Police Station where he was
photographed, fingerprinted, and processed. It should be noted that it was made
explicitly clear to Kiyan that he is required to personally appear at Mahoning
County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday, May 23, 2024. Kiyan was then
released on a recognizance bond.
Due to no party wanting to cooperate in the matter or see charges aside from
wanting charges for criminal damaging, refusals were not obtained. Photos of

The other male is unknown at this time but believed to be the uncle. Manager
stated she watched the video this morning and she observed the unknown male
subject go to the counter to buy lucky strike cigarettes and but was short
$1.00.
She stated he called for other to give him the money. She stated that after he
gave his money he walked over by the Polar Pop and grabbed 2 bags of chips and
walked right out of the building.
An employee attempted to yell at him and tell him to come pay for his chips. A
customer had also attempted to stop him by going out the door after him and
followed him for a minute.
The unknown male walked left around the side of the building. At that time she
noticed him go up to the checkout counter and put a half eaten donut down on the
self check out and pick it back up before the transaction could be complete. She
stated he cancelled the transaction and walked out with the half eaten donut
that he ate in the store. The donut being worth roughly around $2.00. A written
statement was then obtained from manager.
I then got a written statement from employee. He stated while he was running the
register trying to get his line down, a male first used self check out to get a
drink. Not too long after that, he came back when he was busy with customers. As
he was ringing one out he saw him quickly head to the exit with the 2 bags of
chips without paying for them. he stated he called out to him but he kept
walking. One customer tried to stop him but before he could get to him he said
the culprit just took off running. After things slowed down, He called one of
the managers to inform them what had happened.
I then viewed the camera footage and observed the 3 black males enter the store.
The unknown male was wearing an orange in color hoodie that said queen on the
front and down the arm. He had his hood up the entire time he was there but you
could make out a face at the register. I observed that male at the front
register and hand the cashier money.
After that I observed the male go to the polar pops and grab the 2 bags of chips
and leave the store immediately. I could hear the cashier tell him to stop and
pay for the chips. I observed a male customer attempt to stop him by going to
the door and telling him to stop. The male went outside and attempted to stop
him but the other male took off running around the left side of the building.
I then observed subject walking around inside of the building eating the donut.

me with one word answers, and would not face me when he spoke to me. As I
continued speaking with Mr. Johnson, I began noting a smell of an alcoholic
beverage coming from his person.
Ptl. Demski #509 arrived on scene at this time and performed a passenger side
approach. I asked Mr. Johnson for his license, registration, and proof of
insurance at this time. Mr. Johnson did procure me his license but was having
difficulty locating his registration or insurance. I asked Mr. Johnson if he had
any medical history or surgical history and Mr. Johnson denied both. I asked Mr.
Johnson if he had any alcoholic beverages to drink tonight, and he stated
hesitantly "no".
I advised Mr. Johnson to shut his vehicle off and he complied. I then walked
over to the passenger side of the truck and spoke with Ptl. Demski that I would
be performing Standardized Field Sobriety Tests(SFSTs). I returned to my marked
cruiser #304 and shut off all of my front emergency over head lights. I returned
to Mr. Johnson's truck and asked him to step out of his vehicle and he complied.
I asked Mr. Johnson if he would be willing to submit to a set of Field Sobriety
Tests and he stated "yes". I escorted Mr. Johnson over to a driveway away from
the highway onto a relatively flat area. I asked if Mr. Johnson was wearing
prescription glasses and he stated he was. I asked if he was able to see the tip
of the green lighted pen I placed in front of him and he stated he could see it
and had no issues with the glasses worn.
I then began my testing and observed the following:
Equal Pupil Sizes in left and right eyes
Negative Resting Nystagmus
Equal tracking of left and right eyes
During my Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus testing I observed the following clues.
2 clues Lack Of Smooth Pursuit in Left and Right eyes with rapid twitching
response (while holding pen 2 seconds out, and 2 seconds back over each eye)
2 clues Distinct and Sustained Nystagmus at Maximum Deviation for both left and
right eyes with rapid twitching response (Held for 4 seconds maximum in each
eye)
2 clues Onset of Nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both left and right eyes with
rapid twitching response(he1d to a speed of 4 seconds to 45 degrees)
Positive results for Vertical Nystagmus
For a total of 6 out 6 clues for the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test
During the instruction stage of the walk and turn test Mr. Johnson was observed
having difficulty balancing his body as he did shift his upper body back and
forth. When I completed my instruction for Mr. Johnson I asked if he understood
the block of instruction and Mr. Johnson stated to me "I don't get any of that
shit". I asked Mr. Johnson if he needed me to repeat the instructions and Mr.
Johnson stated he did.
I noted the following clues during the walking stage:
Can't balance during instructions
Misses heel to toe
Steps off the line
Uses arms to balance
Wrong number of steps
This being a total of 5 out of 8 of the total clues
During the One Legged stand I observed the following clues during testing:
Puts foot down- suspect never lifted foot off ground as instructed Sways while
balancing
With a total of 2 of the 4 possible clues.
Given the total clues, I instructed Ptl. Demski to read Mr. Johnson his Miranda
Warning and waiver. After instructing Mr. Johnson his Miranda warning and
waiver, Ptl. Demski asked if he wished to speak with law enforcement. Mr.
Johnson stated he did not want to speak with law enforcement and at that time he
was advised he would be placed under arrest for OV1(4511.19)(M1). I placed Mr.
Johnson in the back seat of cruiser #304 and ensured his handcuffs were properly
gapped and double locked. Mr. Johnson was noted to be respectful during the
entire encounter.
I requested a tow from dispatch and it was advised Springers Towing would be
enroute. Ptl. Demski stayed on scene with the vehicle and performed a vehicle
property inventory as he waited for Springers Towing. I cleared for Alliance
Police with the male in custody.
On arrival at Alliance PD Mr. Johnson was patted down for weapons and led inside
the booking and intoxilizer area.
Alliance Ptl. Higgins #316 assisted me in gaining access to the area and
processing of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was read the BMV form 2255 and advised of
his options to provide a breath sample to the intoxilizer, or refuse the breath
test after the 20-minute wait period. During the wait period, Mr. Johnson stated
he "was already fucked" leading officers to believe he was talking about his
level of intoxication. Mr. Johnson advised me he would like to refuse the breath
test.
During the discussion Mr. Johnson was having with officers, he made a statement
stating "I don't know what to do, I'm fucked up". All information was filed
accordingly with the intoxilizer and BMV Form 2255. After completion I cleared
with Mr. Johnson to complete the booking process of Mr. Johnson
During my transport back to Sebring PD via Alliance Sebring Road I observed a
large opossum running across the road. I did slam on my brakes to avoid striking
the animal. I apologized and asked Mr. Johnson afterwards if he was injured in
any way and he stated, "I'm fine."
Upon return to station, I utilized my flashlight and checked for any bruises on
his face or head. Mr. Johnson stated again he did not hit any area with his head
or body. Due to his body stature I was unable to properly buckle Mr. Johnson
seatbelt over him. I asked Mr. Johnson if he would like medical to come out and
check up on him and he stated, "no I don't need that". I then led Mr. Johnson to
our booking area where he was processed fully and released. As we exited the
station, Mr. Johnson bent over to grab a handful of cash that fell out of his
pocket and began falling backwards. I grabbed Mr. Johnson by his hand and
ensured he did not fall on the ground hard. Mr. Johnson again stated he was
alright and was then provided a courtesy transport to his residence at 22604
Alliance Sebring Road. Upon arrival I ensured he made it inside his residence.
I then cleared without further incident.
Ptl. Peterman #506 04/30/2024
Date 04/30/2024 05:50 Officer Demski
I arrived on scene to assist Ptl. Peterman with his OVI investigation. I stood
by and observed Clinton as he exited his truck and walked around the front to
the driveway he was parked beside. Clinton stopped to lean on his truck, then
walked over to the driveway. Clinton's gait was uneven and he would sway as he
stood in front of me. As Ptl. Peterman began the HGN test, I observed a lack of
smooth pursuit, nystagmus at maximum deviation and vertical nystagmus.
When Ptl. Peterman was demonstrating the walk and turn, Clinton became confused
and had to be told several times to take nine heel to toe steps and not three.
(During the demonstration it is common practice for officers to take three steps
and simulate the 9th step. this was carefully explained.) During the walk and
turn Clinton did not walk heel to toe and side stepped to the right on his
fourth step. On his fifth step he turned and walked back. I also observed
Clinton use his arms for balance.
During the one leg stand I observed Clinton immediately drop his foot to the
ground and struggle to bring it up. After counting to four Clinton stopped and
indicated he was done. Ptl. Peterman placed clinton under arrest for suspicion
of OVI and transported him to Alliance Police Department to run the intoxilizer.

Date: 04/18/2024 11:14 Det. Reed
At 1350 hours on 04/18/2024, a large fire was reported in the backyard of a
residence in the 100 block of E. Indiana Avenue.
Upon arriving, it was found that the homeowner was burning building material
without a source of water or fire containment. The homeowner will be cited with
an open burning violation.
At 1350 hours on 04/17/2024, Leslie Carr (165 E. Maryland Avenue), called to
report a large fire in the backyard of a residence on her block.
Upon arriving on location, I was directed to the backyard of 126 E. Indiana
Avenue by an area resident. A large fire was burning in the back yard, with it
being fueled by what appeared to be building material from the gutted home. The
pile of material was approximately 10' X 10', with no containment such as
bricks, a metal rim, or any other material for that matter surrounding it. A
large plastic trash can that was sitting along a nearby fence row was melted
from the heat the fire was producing. Two men, later identified as subject and
William Acevedo, were standing in the back yard of the residence.
In speaking with Acevedo, who I've encountered during prior calls to the
property, I asked him if he had a water source to put the fire out. Acevedo said
that he did not, with him not understanding why he could not burn in such a
fashion in the village limits. It should also be noted that the winds at the
time of the fire were going to the northwest, with speeds being approximately 18
MPH. Because of this and the fact that no water source was available. I called
Sebring Fire to extinguish it.
Sebring Fire then arrived on location with the fire being put out. Chief
Springer, Lt. Bailey, and Lt. Rastetter, and FF Sam Kanagy were the firefighters
present. Photographs were also taken at this time. In speaking further with
Acevedo, he admitted that both he and subject had started the fire, with me
explaining to him the fact that a burn ban is in effect until 18:00 hours
statewide and that he also could not have such a large fire or any fire without
permission from the village and a source of water present regardless. I
explained to Acevedo that violating the open burning ordnances in the village is
a misdemeanor of the third-degree, but in lieu of a custodial arrest I would be
drafting a summons and that he would need to come to the police station to pick
it up in the following days. I then cleared. All photographs were loaded to the
shared drive/department photos. Nothing additional to report.

window at the residence and asked the individual inside the residence if t could
speak with Dakota AKA Grace. The person sitting on the couch stated "I'm
Dakota". I asked her to come outside so I can speak to her about an incident
that occurred at Circle K. Grace complied and went to the back porch where I was
at. I explained to Grace that she was observed on camera at Circle K taking
alcohol from the back coolers. Grace stated to me that "Yeah, I took 2 bottles
of Fireball". I advised dispatch and asked if Circle K wished to pursue charges
against Grace. I asked Grace if she had the bottles with her currently and she
stated "I already drank them". After a short time dispatch advised the manager
did wish to pursue charges of theft.
At this time I explained to Grace that she was under arrest for the theft of the
alcohol at Circle K. I placed her in handcuffs, ensuring they were properly
gapped and double locked, then placed her in the drivers back seat of marked
cruiser #304. I read Grace her Miranda rights and asked her if she wished to
make any comments. Grace stated to me "I did take 2 bottles of fireball from
Circle K and drank them". Grace then asked me if I could talk to her boyfriend
and let him know what was going on. With Grace being respectful towards me I
obliged and walked over to the front door, which was still in eyesight of
cruiser #304 and knocked on the front door. The boyfriend answered and I advised
of the situation with Grace.
I advised Grace would be processed and released from the police department as
she would be getting a recognizance bond. I then left the area and notified
dispatch of my departure to station for processing.

I performed a follow-up with Circle K and was advised by manager that they did
want Grace given a Notice Of Restriction (NOR) from Circle K. I filled one out
and delivered it to Grace, as well as explained the NOR to her that she was no

Date: 12/20/2023 07:54 Officer Reed
On 12/20/2023, an investigation was initiated into a report of child pornography
being possessed by a Sebring resident.
On 12/20/2023, I was advised by Chief Harris that he had receive cyber tip from
the Ohio internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), and that he was
forwarding the report over to me for review and investigation. Upon logging into
ICAC, I began reviewing the report (CyberTip Report # 179740398), noting that
the incident was listed to have occurred at 13:43 UTC on 11/17/2023. In reading
further, I also noted that the report had been forwarded to the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) from Bing Image. This image was
classified by their standards as containing a pre-pubescent minor in lascivious
exhibition.
A subpoena submitted to Charter Communications by Arabelle Skelly, of the
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office, showed this particular IP address as
belonging to a Lois Felger, of 226 S. Johnson Road in Sebring, Ohio.
Upon further review of the lCAC report, I opened the file containing the subject
image, with me observing it to contain a pre-pubescent female, appearing to be
approximately seven to eight years of age. The girl is completely nude, laying
on her back with her legs spread. Her breast as well as vagina are completely
exposed. What appeared to be an adult male hand is rested on her right leg. The
estimation of the girls age being made based upon lack of development, as well
as body frame and size.
After reviewing the material provided by ICAC, I used the Ohio Law Enforcement
Gateway (OHLeg) to search for known residents of 226 S. Johnson Road. Through
OhLeg I was able to determine that a Lois Elaine Felger as well as Scott Steven
Sargent reside at the address. All material provided by ICAC was loaded onto a
Verbatim flashdrive that was assigned a BitBlocker password. Nothing additional
to report at this time.
Det. Reed #508
At 13:00 hours on 04/11/2024, I went to the residence of Scott Sargent, located
at 226 S. Johnson Road, in an attempt to take custody of him on his warrants as
well as serve the search warrant.
Upon arriving to the address, I knocked on the front door. Scott Sargent
answered, with me informing him that I had warrants for his arrest as well as
that I had a search warrant for the residence with the target being the power
cords for his computer. After being advised of his Miranda Rights, Mr. Sargent
told me that the cords to the computer were in the bedroom near where the
computer had been during the January 11, 2024 search warrant.
Ptl. Russell then arrived on scene, with her securing Mr. Sargent in handcuffs.
I also at this time located two power cords under the desk where the computer
had been, with on listing "HP" on it. These cords were taken into evidence as a
result of the search warrant. I also left a copy of the warrant as well as
inventory of property taken on a table in the living room.
This being at the instruction of Mr. Sargent instead of giving it to him for him
to keep.
Mr. Sargent was then secured in the back of car 304, with Ptl. Russell
transporting him back to the police station.
Once on station, Mr. Sargent was photographed and processed with his DNA being
collected. Once the necessary paperwork for commitment to jail was completed, I
transported him to the Mahoning County Justice Center without incident. It
should be noted that I did ask Mr. Sargent with him understanding his rights if
he was willing to speak further with me about the matter, with him saying that
he was not.
Another search warrant shall be drafted for the HP computer.

On 04/09/2024 I responded to a two-car motor vehicle accident in the 400 block
of the Alley way North of W Maryland Ave directly behind 425 W Maryland Ave. On
arrival I learned that Unit 1, a gray GMC Acadia driven by Brooke Ledger was
driving east in the alleyway.
Unit 2 a white Ford pickup truck was parked unoccupied with a trailer, the
owner, Jeff Elberty, was loading pallets in the trailer. Unit 2 was blocking the
driveway of 425 W Maryland where Brooke lives.
Brooke turned left driving through her own yard and tried to squeeze between the
truck and thicket of bushes, Brooke struck the truck front left side to front
left side causing minor damage to both vehicles.
On scene Jeff did not have a trailer plate and claimed it must have fallen off,
so I cleared and waited to do the report unit I had the plate. Due to the
somewhat unusual nature of the accident, I asked prosecutor Gary Van Brocktin to
review the accident and he advised me to charge Brooke with improper turn. After
some time, I had not heard from Jeff regarding the trailer plate, so I finished
the accident report without the information.
Brooke was cited for 331.14 turns and stops (improper turn) with a court date in

ARREST: Bradley Wilson
1005 Lake Park Blvd. Lot 17 Sebring, Ohio
CHARGE:
Speed (M-3) 3 prior convictions in last 12 months
Warrant (FTA/Other Agency)
At 21:32 hours on 04/05/2024, I was conducting traffic enforcement in
marked unit 304. While stationary in the parking lot of United Die (100 S. 17th
Street), I observed a white Chevrolet Silverado that was traveling eastbound on
W. California Avenue at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher
than that of the posted 25 MPH limit. Upon activating the patrol car's
front-facing radar antenna, I noted that the vehicle speed was rapidly
increasing. I was able to obtain a locked speed of 41 MPH before the vehicle
went out of the radar systems field of range.
I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, pulled onto the
roadway, and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle was very slow to stop, with
the driver crossing S. 15th Street before finally coming to a stop on the
opposite side. At this time, I noted that Ohio Registration was affixed to the
read of the vehicle.
Ptl. Brindack also arrived to my location at this time.
I then approached and made contact with the driver, with me informing him of the
reason for the stop as well as asking for his driver license and proof of
insurance. The driver also informed me at this time that the reason that he was
speeding was that he was trying to coax his truck to shift.
The driver however was unable to produce a driver license, with him instead
identifying himself as Bradley Wilson, with him also giving me his date of birth
and social security number.
Upon Mr. Wilson's information to dispatch, it was found that he had three prior
convictions for moving violations within the last 12 months. An active warrant
for his arrest through Alliance Police Department was also found. At this time,
I began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032585, with me citing Wilson for
speed (ORC: 4511.21). It should be noted that due to this charge being elevated
to a misdemeanor of the third-degree due to prior convictions, Ohio Revised Code
was charged in lieu of Sebring Codified Ordnance.
Upon receiving confirmation of the warrant and determining that the issuing
agency did want to take custody of Mr. Wilson, I requested him out of the
vehicle. I first, however, had Wilson sign his citation, with me making him
aware of his mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on
Thursday, April 18,2024. I also gave him his copy of the citation. At
approximately this time, Sgt. Kelm arrived to our location.
I then advised Mr. Wilson of his warrants and secured him in handcuffs, which
were properly spaced and double-locked. Ptl. Brindack secured him in the back of
my patrol car while I began identifying the other two occupants of the vehicle.
Both of whom had suspended driver licenses. Numerous criminal indicators were
also noted, with K-9 radar being deployed. Sgt. Kelm did advise of a positive
indication.
Prescription synthetic opiate addiction treatment medications were located
inside of the vehicle, with this found to have been legally prescribed to one of
the occupants.
Mr. Wilson was also transported to Ralph's Deli where custody was transferred to
Alliance Police Department. I then cleared from the call. Sgt. Kelm and Ptl.
Brindack remained on scene waiting for a valid driver to arrive to pick up the
truck. Due to a valid driver not arriving in a timely manner, the truck was
towed to Sebring Tire's impound lot.

CHARGE: SCO: 505.01 (c) Dog / animal running at large (MM)
At 09:44 hours on 04/02/2024, Ptl. Melendez and I responded to 485 W. Oregon
Avenue for a civil stand-by. This being at the request of the properties
caretaker. It should be noted that the reason that the reason for the stand-by
was that prior tenants were evicted, but he believed people that they had been
allowing to stay with them may still be remaining at the house. This being
despite the water and electric having been turned off.
Ptl. Melendez and I then met properties caretaker at the residence, with him
discovering that the locks on the house had been changed. We also heard a dog
barking from inside. After repeated attempts to get someone to come to the door,
Ptl. Melendez got on the loudspeaker of his marked patrol car and called
defendant to the door. Several minutes later defendant did answer. Upon opening
the door. defendant allowed a female, pit-bull breed dog to run out of the house
,with the dog then running across Oregon Avenue and into the neighbors yard. At
this time, caretaker also told defendant the reason that he was there, with
defendant saying that he would pack his things and leave. Defendant also began
screaming that he doesn't know why he's being made to leave.
I also at this time asked defendant to secure the dog.
Ptl. Melendez and I remained on scene to ensure that no issues arose while
caretaker changed the locks to the house.
During this time, the dog continued to walk through neighbors lawns, across
Oregon Avenue, and wander around the area. I did ask defendant no less than
three times to confine the dog, with him walking back into the house at one
point. In addition, defendant also said "that dog can find a new home", when I
asked him to catch her. When I asked the dogs name defendant said "Rory".
Ptl. Melendez and I continued to try to catch the dog, with us being fearful for
her safety due to Ohio Avenue being to the north and the busy railroad tracks to
the immediate south. Eventually, caretaker was able to coax the dog into coming
to him, with her being secured by a leash that I keep in my patrol bag.
Defendant then asked me to walk her with him to a neighbors house so that he
could give her away. The neighbor did not answer, with the dog then being placed
on a tether in the front yard of 485 W. Oregon Avenue while defendant gathered
his things and placed them in a truck.
At this time I decided based upon Defendant's repeated failure to confine the
dog despite my requests as well as his utter apathy for the dogs well being that
I would cite him for dogs and animals running at large (SCO: 505.01 (c). I then
drafted a minor misdemeanor citation for this offense, with Defendant signing
and being given his copy. During this time Defendant complained that the dog was
not his and he didn't understand why I was citing him.
I explained to Defendant that the dog was being kept and/or harbored by him, and
he failed to confine her. Defendant then made statements about "not paying shit"
and not going to court, with me explaining to him that a warrant would be issued
for his arrest if he did in fact fail to appear at 09:00 hours on Thursday,
April 11,2024 at Mahoning County Court #3. Units then cleared.

this information through LEADS, with Mr. Simon showing as having active warrants
for his arrest through Stark County Sheriff's Office as well as a suspended
driver license. The warrants however listed in-county pickup only.
I then began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032579, with me stopping
halfway through due to Simon shuffling through the car and making numerous
furtive movements. Because of this I did instruct him to step out of the vehicle
with me also performing a pat-down of is person. No weapons or contraband were
located. I then returned to my patrol car where I completed the citation.

At approximately 16:45 hours on 03/14/2024, I was conducting traffic enforcement
in marked unit 303 with CPO Freer. While parked in the parking lot of Sebring
Friends (616 S. Johnson Road), I observed a silver Subaru Legacy traveling
northbound on S. Johnson Road. I noticed that the vehicle had what appeared to
be a red 2023-year registration sticker on the rear license plate. Prior to
being able to pull onto the roadway to verify this, other vehicles pulled in
front of me in traffic.
I continued behind the subject vehicle, with it turning into the parking lot of
Zep's Pizza (195 N. Johnson Road). At this time, I noted that Ohio Registration
was affixed to the rear of the vehicle. A check of LEADS showed that this
registration had expired on 12/01/2023, with the vehicle being registered to a
Bradley Allen Wilson, whose driver license was under an active suspension. The
return through LEADS coming as the vehicle was parking and a female exiting the
front passenger seat. I also noted a male sitting in the front driver seat who
had been operating the vehicle.
Due to not wanting to disrupt the business, I opted to park within sight of the
vehicle and wait for it to pull out before effecting a traffic stop. The female
who had been in the vehicle then exited the restaurant, took a gas can from the
vehicle, and began walking across Johnson Road. I then asked the female if she
needed assistance, with her saying that she was going to get fuel and that her
boyfriend was still in the vehicle. I then opted to go ahead an initiate
contact, with me confronting the female about the vehicle's expired registration
and the suspended status of the registered owner. I also pulled behind the
vehicle and activated the patrol car's overhead emergency light.
At this time, I made contact with the male who had been operating the vehicle,
with him telling me that the vehicle belonged to his son and that he was not
aware of the registration being expired. The male produced an Ohio Driver
License that showed him to be Michael Allen Wilson, with it being found that his
driving status was under a non-compliance suspension. The female, identified as
Sarah Wutrick, was found to be suspended as well. Because no valid driver was
immediately available, I opted to tow the vehicle.

signaling headed East bound on Indiana. I activated my lights and sirens and
radioed to dispatch that Jacob appeared to be fleeing, when I turned on Indiana
Jacob was turning North onto 17th St I followed and Jacob ran the stop sign at
17th and Virginia and continued North, I radioed to dispatch Jacob was still not
stopping and requested they notify a supervisor. Jacob continued North very
slowly at about 10mph my patrol car was directly behind him with my lights and

I approached the car and asked Jacob why he was driving in such a reckless
manner and why he did not stop. Ptl. Freer began speaking with passengers being
identified. Jacobs mother was also outside the house.
Det. Smith from the Smith Twp Police dept also arrived on scene because he had
heard Jacob refusing to stop and Jacob is known to have violent tendencies and

license status check of Linda Stuller as she was checking out at the front
counter. Dispatch advised Linda Stuller was suspended for Non-Compliance.
Officers left the Circle K and parked at the Gioninos across the street as Linda
got into the drivers seat of a Subaru. I ran the plate through dispatch and was
told it returned to Linda Stuller's mother. Linda Stuller left the Circle K,
operating the Subaru heading Eastbound on East Ohio Avenue.
I pulled out of the Gioninos parking lot and Sgt. Kelm followed me. I activated
my emergency overhead lights and audible siren. The vehicle came to a stop On
East Ohio Avenue, near the intersection of North 12th Street.
I called out my stop to dispatch and turned on my audio recorder to marked
cruiser #303 and performed a passenger side approach of the Subaru. I identified
myself and my affiliation. I advised Linda that she was suspended and I observed
her operating the vehicle. I asked Linda if she was aware she was suspended and
she stated "I am supposed to have an SR 22, but I'm late paying it". I advised
Linda she would be receiving a citation for the driving under suspension, but if
she could get someone with a valid license to operate the vehicle within the
next 10 minutes, I would not tow it.
Linda attempted to call multiple times but was unsuccessful. I asked Linda for
her license and she procured her license to me. I returned to my cruiser and
advised dispatch to verify Linda's license status via her OLN. During this time
dispatch advised Linda also had a confiscation order on her license. I returned

her citation. Linda was unable to provide me with a copy of the vehicles
registration or insurance, and was marked on the citation as not showing proof
of insurance.
Due to Linda being unable to contact a valid driver, I advised dispatch to get a
tow in route. I performed a property inventory search of the vehicle and created
a makeshift tow slip due to running out of tow slips.
Springers towing signed the tow slip and Linda left the area on foot after
denying my courtesy transport to her residence at S. 13th Street.

Oregon Avenue. A male subject, who was was on foot in the middle of the roadway,
was screaming at the occupants of this vehicle. As a result, an adult male
subject, known to me to a witness, did exit the vehicle and begin engaging with
the male who had been standing in the roadway.
At this time I relayed the vehicle's registration to dispatch, as well as
advised that I was out with an unknown disturbance. I also activated the
overhead emergency lights on my patrol car, with me announcing myself as a
police officer as I exited.
At this time, I instructed witness to wait by his vehicle while I spoke with the
subject, who had been standing in the roadway. I was also joined by Ptl. Demski
and Sgt. Kelm at approximately this time. In speaking with the male subject,
identified by his Ohio Driver License as Joshua Somerville. I detected the
strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his person. Somerville's
speech was also slurred, his eyes glassy, and what appeared to be urine was
soaking the front area of his sweat pants. When I asked Mr. Somerville what
happened, he began making statements about the people in the car trying to fight
him. I then instructed Ptl. Demski to stay with Somerville while I spoke with
witness about the matter.
Upon approaching witness's vehicle, I noted that his son, had been driving.
In speaking with the two, they told me that Somerville had been in the roadway
while they were driving, and that he had began screaming at them and challenging
them to a fight. While I was speaking with the witness's, Somerville continued
to yell profanities, many of which directed at the witness's, with me telling
him several times to cease doing this as well as warning him that he would be
charged with disorderly conduct. Somerville however refused to comply with my
requests to stop, with him instead continuing to challenge the witness's to a
fight. I then approached Mr. Somerville, placed him in handcuffs, which were
properly spaced and double-locked, as well as informed him that due to his
continuing to taunt the witness's and challenge them to a fight, he was being
placed under arrest for disorderly conduct (ORC:2917.11 (A)(3)).
Mr. Somerville was then secured in the back of car 304. I also informed the
witness's that a police officer would be coming over to their residence shortly
to collect witness statements from them.
At this time I transported Mr. Somerville to the Sebring Police station where he
was photographed, fingerprinted, and processed. It should be noted that
throughout this time, Somerville was extremely belligerent and uncooperative
with officers, with him making threats to file lawsuits. Mr. Somerville's series
of events also changed several times, with him at one point saying that the
witness's had assaulted him as well as threatened to kill his family.
When I offered to allow him to provide a witness statement regarding the matter,
he repeatedly said that he wasn't a "snitch". Once Somerville was processed, he
was given a ride back to his residence, with Ptl. Demski and I ensuring that he
made it safely onto his porch due to his level of apparent intoxication. It
should also be noted that although Somerville did sign the recognizance form, he
made statements about not appearing in court, with me clarifying that he was
required to appear at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday,
February 29, 2024. Nothing additional to report at this time.

I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a
traffic stop. The vehicle came to a complete stop almost immediately, with me
approaching and making contact with the driver, who I did find to be Mr. Brandon
French.
In speaking with Brandon, he told me that he knew his registration was expired
and that he was struggling financially. I explained to Brandon that I would not
tow his vehicle this time, but I would have to issue him a citation. I then
returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032564.
After completing the citation, I returned to Brandon's vehicle, where he signed
the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his option to contest the

At 17:01 hours on 10/09/2023, I was notified by Dispatcher Murphy that Maple
Heights, Ohio Police Department had called to report that they had retrieved a
firearm off of a convicted felon in their jurisdiction and that an ATF trace
showed the firearm to have initially been purchased by an Anthony Nakoneczny, of
336 E. Oregon Avenue. Maple Heights Police had contacted Nakoneczny, according
to Dispatcher Murphy, with him saying that the firearm had been stolen from his
residence and that he had filed a report with our agency.
Upon searching for said report, none were able to be located. I informed
Dispatcher Murphy that I would contact the detective with Maple Heights the
following day.
On 10110/2023, I made contact with Detective Marcus Scott, of Maple Heights
Police Department. Det. Scott said that on 08/19/2023. Maple Heights Police
recovered a Glock 17 9mm pistol off of a felon in their jurisdiction, with the
firearm showing as having been purchased on 07/21/2023 by Anthony Nakonecny
after an ATF trace was completed. Det. Scott said that he then contacted
Nakoneczny, he said that the firearm had been stolen from his residence and that
he had filed a report with Sebring Police. I again searched as dispatch had
earlier, finding no record of Mr. Nakoneczny having made a report about the
stolen firearm. A copy of the ATF trace sheet was also later forwarded to me by
Det. Scott.
I then went to 336 E. Oregon Avenue where I made contact with Madonna Nakoneczny,
who I know to be Anthony's mother. Madonna said that Anthony was no longer
staying at the residence and that he has been staying in Akron. In speaking with
Madonna, she said that Anthony had people over while she was out of town and
that he believed that this was when the firearm had been removed from the
residence. According to Madonna, she believes that her son noticed the firearm
gone when he gathered his property to move to Akron.
She was unable to provide me with an approximate time as to when he had moved.
Madonna said that he son had not made a police report regarding the matter
because "he doesn't like doing that". Madonna then began attempting to find
contact information for her son, with her being unable to do so. After asking
her to have him call me at the police station, I cleared from the residence.

him slam on his brakes to make a left turn. William then stated he attempted to
avoid striking the truck and steered right to avoid the truck but did strike the
truck on the passenger rear quarter panel area, then his vehicle ran into the

belt over his shoulder and lap as should be worn properly, and he stated he did.
I asked William if he was injured and he stated he was ''just shaken up but
okay". I asked William if he needed medical attention and he stated to me he did
not.

At 21:ll hours on 02/09/2024,1 was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit
303. While stationary in the alleyway between the 600 block of W. Ohio and W.
Maryland Avenue at N. Johnson Road, I observed a gold sedan that was traveling
westbound on E. Ohio Avenue, turn left and begin southbound on N. Johnson Road.
At this time, I noticed that the vehicle's rear license plate lights was
completely burned out.
At this time, I pulled my patrol car onto the roadway, activated the overhead
emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle, a gold Ford Taurus,
Ohio, bearing Ohio Registration, then pulled into the parking lot of Zep's Pizza
(195 N. Johnson Road), with the driver then exiting and standing outside the
door. At this point I exited my patrol car, with me informing the driver of the
reason for the traffic stop as well as requesting his driver license. The driver
identified himself as Timothy Boycan, with him telling me that he did not have a
Driver License. Boycan, however, did provide his date of birth and social
security number in addition to his name.
I then returned to my patrol car, with a search of LEADS showing that Mr. Boycan
had five open suspensions on his driver license, with the most recent being
added on 07/18/2016, with this being a license forfeiture type suspension.
At this point I returned to speak with Mr. Boycan, with me informing him of the
license suspension, as well as asking him about ownership of the vehicle. Mr.
Boyan stated that the vehicle belonged to his girlfriend, Stacey Dugan, and that
she was aware of his driving status.
Ptl. Brindack arrived to my location at this time as well.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032560. I cited Mr. Boycan for driving under suspension (ORC: 4510.11) as well
as taillights and illumination of rear license plate (ORC: 4513.05). During this
time, due to multiple license suspensions being present, the amount of time that
they had been active, as well as his relationship with the vehicle's registered
owner, I opted to tow the vehicle as well as cite Dugan with wrongful
entrustment of a motor vehicle (ORC: 4511.203).
While I was completing the citation, Mr. Boycan brought his cell phone to me
while he had Dugan on the phone. When I explained to Dugan that her vehicle was
being towed and she was being cited for wrongful entrustment, she denied
permitting Mr. Boycan permission to use her vehicle, with her saying that she
wasn't even around. Dugan, however, declined to give a statement saying this or
to pursue charges for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Dugan also stated,
"you aren't citing me for shit".
Sebring Tire then arrived on scene while Ptl. Brindack was completing an
inventory of the vehicle. The vehicle was then towed to their impound lot with a
hold being placed.
Mr. Boycan then signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his
mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday,
February 15,2024. Both units then cleared from the scene.
Once back on station, at approximately 22:00 hours, Stacey Dugan arrived to be
issued her citation. I did speak with Dugan in the lobby area of the police
department, with Ptl. Demski present. When I explained to Dugan the nature of
the citation, she became extremely belligerent, stating that "no other cops do
this" as well as making statements about Boycan being target because he is
African American.
Dugan continued to maintain that she had not authorized Boycan to drive her
vehicle, but refused to pursue charges for unauthorized use. Dugan, however,
appeared to be attempting to intimidate me in the performance of my duties,

646 S 15th St
CHARGES:
4511.19A1A OVI
4511.19A2 OVI Refusal
4511.33 Marked Lanes
On this date while on patrol, Sgt. Kelm and myself were riding in the same
patrol car returning to our station traveling north on S 15th St. We observed a
white truck approaching us headed south on S. 15th St. The vehicle swerved left
of center and crossed the double yellow line on S. 15th St. near Florida Ave.
This was witnessed by both Sgt. Kelm and myself. I performed a U-Turn and
initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle a white Ford F-350 which pulled into the
driveway of 646 S 15th St and stopped.
The driver identified as Donald Handy began stepping out of the vehicle, I made
contact with Donald and noticed he was swaying. his eyes were red and bloodshot,
he was sweating profusely despite the fact it was only 38 degrees Fahrenheit his
face was also red, and his eyelids were sagging. I also detected the odor of an
alcoholic beverage coming off Donald when he spoke. I asked Donald if he had
been drinking and he said "no just beer" I asked how many beers, Donald said
just one and then changed his answer and said he had two beers. I asked Donald
if he would perform SFSTs and he said he would.
I began with the Horizontal gaze nystagmus. I asked Donald to stand with his
feet together and his arms down at his sides, holding his hands as if he was
holding rolls of quarters. I told Donald not to move while I explained the test.
Using my handcuff key as a stimulus I asked Donald to look at the silver part of
my key and follow it with his eyes and eyes only keeping the handcuff key inches
from Donald face I began moving the stimulus right to left. I began by checking
for Equal tracking, equal pupil size, and resting nystagmus. I observed Donald
eyes tracked equally, had equal pupil size and had no resting nystagmus. I
continued with the test and observed Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes,
distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, particularly strong in
his right eye, and onset prior to 45 degrees in both eyes, I also performed a
vertical HGN and observed vertical nystagrnus which is usually only seen in high
tier OVI. I also performed lack of convergence tests and Donald eyes did
converge. At times it appeared Donald was trying to look past my stimulus to
trick the test and he did move his head multiple times.
I then moved onto the Walk and Turn test, I had Donald move to more steady
ground and had him stand in the instruction position, feet together, arms at his
sides, Donald began interrupting immediately and said he knew what the next test
was, and he could not perform it. I asked Donald to let me explain the test I
explained to Donald he would be walking in a straight line 9 heel to toe steps,
I showed him how to place his right foot in front of his left foot heel to toe.
I showed him an imaginary straight line and as an example I walked three heel to
toe steps but informed Donald he would be doing 9, I showed Donald how to make a
series of small turns so he would now be facing the other way and showed him
three heel to toe steps again explain he would he doing 9. I told Donald not to
start until told, to keep his arms at his side. Donald argued he would not do
this test "regularly" and said even if you came back tomorrow morning, he
couldn't do the test" Donald did attempt the test walked 11 none heel to toe
steps forward and then stopped.
I then moved onto the one leg stand. I explained that I needed Donald to put his
feet together, arms down at his side and not to move until I instructed him to.
I told Donald to pick a foot of his choosing and raise that foot approximately
12 inches off the ground and the count by one thousand (One one thousand, two
one thousand. three one thousand) until we told him to stop. I told Donald not
to use his hands to balance and if he dropped his foot to pick it back up.
Donald attempted the test but after about 10 seconds put his foot down and said
he was done, he swayed during this time and put his foot down multiple times.
Sgt. Kelm was present for all these tests.
I then placed Donald under arrest for suspected OVI and placed him in the back
of my patrol car. At Donald's request we retrieved a garage door opener from his
truck and closed his garage door. I did not tow Donald's vehicle since it was
already in his driveway. Units transported Donald to our station and read him a
BMV 2255 and explained the consequences of refusing a breath test or urine test.
Donald acknowledged the consequences and refused to provide breath or urine.
Donald was given a recognizance bond and issued a citation for ORC OVI 4511.19
(A)(1)(a) OVI refusal 4511.19 (A)(2)(a) and marked lanes 4511.33. Donald was

On 01/20/2024 @ 2249 hours I responded to the area of South 12th Street and SR62
for a report of a reckless driver resulting in an OVI arrest.
Ptl. Peterman #506
Dispatch advised the caller stated the vehicle was "driving recklessly all over
the road". I was at 15th and SR 62 when the caller advised dispatch that the
driver was at Mahoning Valley Market. I slowed my response and observed two
vehicles crest the hill at SR62 and South 12th Street. I then observed the two
vehicles initiate a right turn onto South 12th Street. Dispatch relayed the
caller stated they turned onto 12th Street, confirming to me it was the vehicle
in question. I drove up to the caller vehicle and watched the suspected vehicle
make several overly exerted jerky movements with the vehicle, given my training
and experience, was consistent with someone under the influence of alcohol
and/or drugs. I observed the vehicle make 5 movements over the center line. Upon
my fifth observation I initiated my emergency overhead lights and audible siren
as I safely passed the witness vehicle. I then advised dispatch to send cover
units to my location.
I approached the suspected vehicle and observed the vehicle maintain its speed
of approximately 35mph for a short period of time. The vehicle then slowed down
to approximately 15mph, then again sped up to 35mph. After approximately 1/10 of
a mile, the vehicle turned on its right turn indicator and stopped in front of
the residence of 1135 South 12th street.
I waited for cover units to arrive, advised dispatch of my location, then exited
marked cruiser #303. Ptl. Brindack #504, and Ptl. Demski #509 approached my
cruiser as I approached the suspect vehicle. t commanded the driver to turn the
vehicle off as I approached and the driver complied with my command by shutting
his vehicle off. I approached the drivers door and advised my name and
department affiliation as well as the reason for the stop being the multiple
left of centers. I also advised the driver that multiple calls were made about
the drivers reckless driving.
The driver, later identified as Steve Adams, stated he did not know he was
driving recklessly. I asked Mr. Adams if he had any alcoholic drinks tonight and
Steve stated to me "I had about 2 beers". As I was speaking with Mr. Adams, I
began to detect a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person,
as well as observing both of his eyes were glossy and his speech was slightly
slurred. I asked Mr. Adams to exit his vehicle and come to the front of my
cruiser #303. Mr. Adams complied by exiting his vehicle and walking in front of
my cruiser.
I asked Mr. Adams due to the smell of an alcoholic beverage, as well as
admitting to me that he had 2 beers if he would submit to a series of field
sobriety tests to ensure he was safe to continue operating his vehicle. Mr.
Adams shook his head up and down and verbally consented to the tests. I asked
Mr. Adams if he wore contacts or glasses and he stated he did not. I then asked
if Mr. Adams had any medical or surgical history and Mr. Adams stated he had
both his left and right-side hip were replaced, and his right ankle had surgery
due to being "destroyed". I asked Mr. Adams to stand with his feet together and
hands and arms down to his side and he complied with the request. I pulled my
handcuff key out of my vest, holding it approximately 12 to 15 inches from the
front of his face at eye level, and asked if he could see it as I took my
flashlight and flashed it down on the key. Mr. Adams stated he could see it and
I advised him to watch it with his eyes only and not to turn his head. Mr. Adams
agreed verbally and I began the tests. I observed the following as I conducted
the standardized field sobriety tests:
* Equal pupil size in both felt and right eyes
* No resting nystagmus present
* Equal tracking of both left and right eyes
* Lack of smooth pursuit in both left and right eyes- 2 seconds out and 2
seconds back for each eye
* Distinct and Sustained Nystagmus in both left and right eyes- held for a
minimum of 4 seconds before returning to centerline
* Onset Nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both left and right eyes- moved at a
speed of approximately 4 seconds to reach a 45 degree angle
* I did not perform Vertical Nystagmus
After performing the Nystagmus test, we moved onto the walk and turn test. I
observed the following during the walk and turn instructions and test:
* When requested, Mr. Adams placed his left foot on a line, (yellow road
centerline used as reference line) and placed his right heel against the toe of
his left foot.
When requested, Mr. Adams did place his arms down at his sides.
Mr. Adams was advised to maintain this position until I had completed the
instructions and advised not to start walking until told to do so. Mr. Adams
verbally agreed to the request.
I advised Mr. Adams that when told to start, take nine heel-to-toe steps on the
line, turn and take nine heel-to-toe steps back down the yellow centerline.
* Mr. Adams was advised that upon his turn to keep your front foot on the line
and turn by taking series of small steps with the other foot. Mr. Adams was
instructed to watch his feet while he walked, count his steps out loud, and to
keep his arms by his side. He was advised that once he began to walk, do not
stop until the test is completed.
* Mr. Adams did verbally understand and agree to follow the instructions. I
observed the following clues during the testing phase:
* Can't balance during instructions
* Starts too soon- did not wait for me to tell him to begin Missed heel to toe-
multiple observations
* Steps off the line- multiple observations
* Uses arms to balance Turned improperly
* Wrong number of steps- I instructed Mr. Adams perform the full 9 steps, Mr.
Adams performed 3 I showed him during the instruction phase
During the instruction phase of the one legged stand Mr. Adams made multiple
complaints that he was unable to perform it due to his surgeries.
At this point I instructed Mr. Adams he was being placed under arrest for
Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence(0RC4511.19) and placed in handcuffs that
were properly gapped and double locked. Mr. Adams was read his Miranda rights
and placed in the back seat of cruiser #303.
During vehicle property inventory, Ptl. Brindack and Ptl. Demski discovered an
open bottle of bud light in the vehicle. I secured the bottle as evidence and
returned to station for paperwork processing as The other two officers stayed on
scene to wait for Springers Tire to tow the vehicle.
I returned to station and Mr. Adams was read the BMV 2255 by myself, and I
requested Mr. Adams submit to a breath test and urine sample. Mr. Adams refused
to submit to either test or sample. During my questioning/discussions with Mr.
Adams, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was again noted coming from his
person. Mr. Adams license was confiscated at this time and he received a
citation on uniformed traffic citation #032072 for 1 count each (M1) OVl/OVl
Refusal(0RC 4511.19(A)(1)(a) / ORC 4511 .19 (A)(2)(b)) and (MM) Open Container(

At 08:42 hours on 01/17/2024, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 303. While sitting in the alleyway North of the 400 block of E. Ohio Avenue
at N. 12th Street, I observed a white Chrysler Sedan traveling southbound on
this same stretch of roadway. As the vehicle passed my location, I observed a
red 2023-year validation sticker affixed to the rear license plate. I then
pulled onto the roadway, catching up to the vehicle as it pulled in the paring
lot of Circle K (205 W. Ohio Avenue).
At this time, I noted the license plate on the back was Ohio Registration. This
returned as belonging on a white 2016 Chrysler belonging to a Kesley Louk, of
Euclid Ohio. The registration showed that Louk's driver license was suspended,
with the registration having expired on June 6, 2023.
I then positioned my patrol car within view of the parking lot of Circle K, with
the vehicle then pulling onto E. Ohio Avenue and beginning eastbound. At this
time I activated my patrol car's overhead emergency light and initiated a
traffic stop. Upon approaching the vehicle, I informed the driver of the reason
for the stop as well as requested her driver license, insurance, and vehicle
registration. At this time the driver was able to produce an Ohio Identification
Card that showed her to be Tiffany Louise Garver. When I asked for the
identification of the front seat passenger, she immediately said that she did
nothing wrong and was not willing to identify herself.
I then ordered both occupants out of the vehicle, with Tiffany and her passenger
being directed to the berm of the road between my patrol car and her vehicle. At
this time, I was joined by Ptl. Melendez, with me also finding that Tiffany's
driver license was suspended. Because of this, I informed Tiffany that I would
be towing the vehicle, with informing her that an administrative inventory was
going to be completed and asking he if she needed anything out of the vehicle.
Tiffany asked for her purse and her jacket, with her also granting me consent to
search these. During this time, the passenger told me that she had nothing in
the vehicle that belonged to her.
Upon conducting the inventory of the vehicle, I located what was immediately
evident to me to be a THC vape in the center console. Upon locating this, I
presented it to both Tiffany and her passenger, with them admitting that it was
in fact a THC vape. This item was opened, and appeared to have been freshly used
as was evident by the oils around the mouthpiece. The attached cartridge was
approximately 1/4 full of THC oil.
At this time I explained that although THC and marijuana is now legal in Ohio,
it cannot be used in a motor vehicle. Tiffany's passenger at this time told me
that her name was "Gail Hggins", with her refusing to provide a name and date of
birth. In speaking further with her, she admitted to having a warrant through
Portage County Sheriff's Office, with her admitting that her name was Charlotte
Garver, and with her providing her social security number. It should be noted
that it was confirmed that Charlotte did have a warrant for her arrest through
Portage County.
I then placed Charlotte in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and
double-locked, before securing her in the back of my patrol car. I also at this
time began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032552. This citation being for
Tiffany Garver, with me citing her for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11),
as well as Owner required to file application - taxes (Expired Reg ORC:4503.11).
Sebring Tire was then called to tow the vehicle from the scene. At this time it
was also agreed upon with Portage County that they did want to take custody of
Charlotte Garver, with their agency agreeing to me at Deerfield Friends Church
(1261 OH-14, Deerfield, OH). Tiffany then signed the citation, was given her
copy, and advised of her mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at
09:00 hours on Thursday, January 18,2024.
Sebring Tire then arrived and towed the vehicle to their impound lot.
Afterwards, I cleared from the scene and transported Charlotte Garver to
Damascus Friends Church where custody was transferred to a deputy with Portage
County Sheriff's Office. All units then cleared from the call.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle, a gray Subaru 2.5RS bearing Ohio
Registration, then turned onto E. lndiana before coming to a stop at E. Indiana
Avenue and N. 14 St.
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed him of the
reason for the stop with him telling me that his GPS said that the speed limit
showed to be 35 MPH. The driver also informed me that he did not have a driver
license, nor did he have insurance on the vehicle. At this time, I asked the
driver his name and date of birth, with him identifying himself as Jeffrey James
Cox (DOB: 2001). His social security number was also taken to further verify his
identity. I also did identify the front seat passenger of the vehicle, who
identified herself as Shaylah Darby (DOB: 2006).
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032073. I cited Cox for speed (SCO: 333.03), as well as driver license required
(335.01). This being after it was determined via LEADS that his temporary permit
had been cancelled. Due to Cox not having insurance on the vehicle nor a valid
driver license I also called Sebring Tire to tow the vehicle.
I then returned to Cox's vehicle where he signed the citation, was given his
copy, and advised of his mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at
08:30 hours on Thursday, January 18, 2024. An administrative inventory of the
vehicle was then completed by Ptl. Russell and I before the vehicle was towed to
Sebring Tire's impound lot.
It should be noted that a Thomas Sihock arrived on location to pick up Cox and
Darby. Due to Darby being a minor I verified his identity using his Ohio Driver
License. Units then cleared from the scene. Nothing additional to report at this
time.

On 01/02/24 A call was received about two individuals in a white car trying to
break into Marathon gas station.
Because it was shift change, Sgt. kelm, Ptl. Brindack, Ptl. Peterman and I
responded. As we were driving down Ohio Ave. Eastbound we witnessed a white car
pulling into Circle K. I made contact with the driver, and the passenger,
identified as Aaron Brumback. They told me they had just pulled into Marathon
looking for a bathroom. The vehicle they were driving came back as a rental,
Both subjects had California IDS and stated they were in town visiting family
for the holidays. It was noted by Sgt. Kelm and I that Aaron was acting nervous
and avoiding eye contact. It was noted that Aaron was dressed in dirty tattered
pants.
Ptl. Brindack requested that Sgt. Kelm deploy K-9 Radar to conduct a free air
sniff around the car. Radar was deployed and Sgt. Kelm advised that Radar
positively indicated on the front passenger area where Aaron had stepped out of.
A probable cause search of the car was conducted by Ptl. Brindack, Ptl, Peterman
and I.
During the search a wallet belonging to Hellen was found with foreign currency
was found. When asked about it, she told me she has been living in Germany for
school and was visiting. During the vehicle search, I noted that Aaron had
become increasingly nervous and was fidgeting with his breast pocket of his
coat. Because of the location of the K-9 alert, a probable cause search of
Aaron's person was conducted by Ptl. Brindack.
A small baggie of white powder residue was found in Aaron's front breast pocket.
Aaron was placed in handcuffs, mirandized and secured in the rear of Car 304 by
Ptl. Brindack. During this time Helen Sibila was also mirandized by Ptl.
Brindack. When questioned by Ptl. Brindack Aaron admitted that the baggie had
contained cocaine. A field test was conducted by Ptl. Brindack which confirmed
the powder to be cocaine.
While continuing the search, Sgt. Kelm found another baggie of white powder
residue in an article of men's clothing in the trunk of the rental car.
Nothing further was found and Aaron was taken back to the station for
processing.
While Ptl. Peterman Processed Aaron he requested to use the bathroom he was told
he must keep the door cracked and to not to flush the toilet. He exited the
bathroom a minute later and stated that he had made "number two". However upon
inspecting the toilet, there was nothing in toilet and neither me or the other
officers standing outside the door heard it flush. Aaron then asked Ptl.
Brindack if the car they were driving would be "flagged for law enforcement.
While Ptl. Peterman fingerprinted and photographed Aaron, Sgt+ Kelm, Ptl.
Brindack and I discussed the suspicious behavior we had witnessed.
I decided to speak to Helen in the Lobby about her recent travel and
relationship with Aaron. She stated that she met him in California a year and a
Half ago, and had moved to Berlin three months ago to study communications. She
advised she retuned to the United States on the 23rd. of December and she picked
him up from Cleveland Airport on the 28th. They then rented the car they are
currently driving and stayed in Pittsburgh for New years. They were returning
from Pittsburgh on the 2nd of January when they stopped in Sebring to find a
bathroom. Ptl. Brindack, with approval of Sgt. Kelm, requested the assistance of
Det. Taussant of APD. Also during this time, consent was given by Helen to re
search the car.
Det. Taussant arrived and spoke to both Aaron and Helen separately while Sgt.
Kelm, Ptl. Brindack, Ptl. Peterman and I conducted a search of the car. After
thoroughly searching the car, nothing of interest was found. After speaking with
Det. Taussant, he stated that he believed there was likely further criminal
activity occurring, however we didn't have sufficient evidence to obtain a

CHARGES:
2913.51 F-4 receiving stolen property

Date 12/30/2023 11:32 Officer REED
At 1654 hours on 12/29/2023, a phone call was received by Sebring Dispatch from
a subject, "B.G.", who reported knowledge of a stolen John Deere utility vehicle
at 555 W. California Avenue. According to dispatch. B.G. reported that a male
subject known to them as Jonathan "Jon-Jon" Cosgray, resides at this residence
and had attempted to sell them the vehicle. Upon being advised of this, I called
B.G., with them agreeing to meet with me at the station to further discuss the
matter.
Upon arriving on station, B.G. was brought back to the audio/video recorded
squad room where I spoke further with them about the matter. At this time B.G.
informed me that several days ago, Jon Cosgry had offered the item for sale to
them, with them being shown the vehicle, which was in a shed at Cosgray's
residence. B.G. said that when they began asking Cosgray questions about
registration, titling, and paperwork for the utility vehicle, Cosgray told them
that he did not have any paperwork, with him telling B.G. that the utility
vehicle was "hot" and that It had been driven to his residence by someone from
somewhere close by. B.G. further reported that the utility vehicle was green in
color, and appeared to be a 2015 or so year model John Deere XUV. B.G. also
reported that they believe they seen a hard-top on the vehicle at the time that
they were shown it and that Cosgray had told them that it had approximately 425
hours on it.
B.G. was then provided with a voluntary witness statement, which clearly
detailed the penalty of falsification on it should the writer of such be found
to be knowingly providing false information. B.G. did complete this statement.
with them signing both the front and back. B.G. then left the station.
After interviewing B.G., I made contact with Prosecutor, Gary Van Brocklin,
regarding this matter. In speaking with Van Brocklin, he authorized me to seek a
search warrant of the premises known as 555 W. California Avenue. Contact was
then made with Judge Joseph Schiavoni. In speaking with Judge Schiavoni, he
advised that he was unable to meet until the following day to sign the warrant
due to being out of town. It should also be noted that at this time it was found
that a John Deere XUV utility vehicle, green in color, was found to have been
stolen from a location on Middletown Road in Goshen Township in April. Contact
with this agency confirmed that the vehicle had never been recovered.
Contact was then made with Judge Molly Johnson, of Mahoning County Court #5, who
agreed to meet with me to sign the warrant. I then drafted a search warrant and
affidavit, with this warrant covering the premises of 555 W. California Avenue.
The scope of this warrant being for the residential structure, curtilage,
attached outbuildings, vehicles present, as well as persons. The reason for this
so as to locate the keys for said vehicle. I then met with Judge Johnson, with
her signing the warrant and affidavit. It should however be noted that Judge
Johnson limited the scope of the warrant to the shed as well as any tarps or
trash on the premises capable of concealing the utility vehicle.
Once the search warrant and affidavit were signed, I returned to the Sebring
Police Department, where I met with Sgt. Kelm, Ptl. Demski, Ptl. Peterman, as
well as Ptl. Russell. Det./Sgt. Dubiel. of Goshen Police District was also
present, as well as Ptl. Vesco, of the Smith Township Police Department. All
units then proceeded to 555. W. California Avenue, with myself and Ptl. Peterman
approaching the residence on foot.
Upon knocking on the door, I made contact with who I know to be John Cosgray.
John was initially reluctant to come to the door, with him then jumping from a
mid-story window on the east side of the house onto a hose roller. Cosgray was
immediately confrontational and hostile, with him being secured in handcuffs at
this time. I also asked John for consent to conduct a patdown of his person as
well as for consent to search his person.
Cosgray did grant this, with me finding a palm-size plastic container in his
pocket. John immediately said "you know what that is". with him then saying
"drugs". Cosgray then granted me consent to open the item, with a light-colored
crystalline substance being found inside. This substance, based upon my training
and experience, appeared to be methamphetamine. Cosgray was also read his
Miranda rights at this time as well as secured in the back of car #304.
Once secured in the back of car #304, I asked Cosgray if taking his Miranda
Rights into consideration, he was willlng to speak with me regarding the matter.
Cosgray said that he was, with him saying "what you're looking for is in there",
as soon as I told him that the search warrant was for the shed on his property.
At this time Cosgray also told me that subject had brought the utility vehicle
to his residence within the past several weeks. Cosgray admitted to having
attempted to sell the item, with him telling me that the only person whom he had
offered it. Cosgray then began to become hostile again, with him attempting to
step out of the car while I was closing the door. While doing this, Cosgray
claimed that his toe was caught in the door and had become injured.
Because of this, Sebring Fire/EMS was called to assess him, with it being found
that the injury occurred at his placed of employment, several days beforehand.
Cosgray did however tell me that the keys to the shed as well as utility vehicle
were on a ring in his house. His wife, did retrieve this ring for me in lieu if
officers using force to enter the shed. She also called family members to pick
up the child that she and Cosgray share.
Upon opening the shed, I observed what appeared to be a large utility vehicle
underneath of a gray tarp. Upon removing this tarp, I observed a green and
yellow John Deer XUV560E. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the plate
containing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the back of the frame near
where the hitch was had been removed.
Several tools including a grinder were present within several feet of this part
of the vehicle. Sebring tire was also called at this time to tow the vehicle
from the scene. I also began speaking with Jessica Cosgray as well as subjects
who also reside at 555 W. California Avenue. It should be noted that both
subjects denied any knowledge of the utility vehicle, with both providing
voluntary witness statements detailing this. A subject who identified himself as
Jonathan Cosgray's brother was also present. Subject said that the utility
vehicle had been brought to the residence but at the time did not want to
provide a statement. Subject also said that he had heard that item was stolen
from somewhere off of State Route 45.
In going further with the search, Ptl. Peterman was able to locate a VIN on an
interior portion of the frame. This being after Ptl. Peterman spent
approximately 30 minutes taking off various covers to access it. This VIN was
lM0560EALKM020825. At this time it was determined that the VIN provided by
Goshen Police District in their initial report was actually a model number. It
was however determined that due to the VIN being tampered with, the vehicle
would still be seized. Sebring Tire then loaded the item on their flatbed truck,
with it being transported to their impound lot. It was also decided at this time
that Jonathan Cosgray would be charged with possession of controlled substances
(ORC 2925.11), for possession the light-colored crystalline substance that was
field tested by Ptl. Brindack, with it being determined that it was in fact
methamphetamine. This substance was later weighed, with it being found to weigh
in at 10 grams. Due to this being in excess of the bulk amount, the charge of
possession such being elevated to a felony of the third-degree. A copy of the
search warrant as well as accompanying inventory was provided to both Jonathan
Cosgray.
Cosgray was then transported to the Sebring Police Department where he was again
read his Miranda Rights with him waiving these and agreeing to speak with Det./Sgt.
Dubiel and I. This interview taking place in the audio/video recorded squad
room. At this time, Cosgray said that the utility vehicle had been brought to
his residence within the last several weeks. Cosgray admitted to having been
attempting to sell the vehicle, with him telling Det/Sgt. Dubiel and I that he
was going to receive several hundred dollars for doing so. Cosgray also admitted
to having removed the hard roof from the vehicle. with him also saying that he
should have known it was stolen.
Cosgray at this time did provide a written statement detailing his side of
events. It should also be noted that while on station, Jonathan told officers
that we misses something while searching the shed. Cosgray went on to say that
the hard roof to the utility vehicle was still in his shed near his skateboards.
Cosgray did give officers permission to re-enter the shed to retrieve this.
Cosgray was then photographed, with the necessary paperwork for commitment to
jail being completed. Cosgray was then transported to the Mahoning County Jail
with out incident by Ptl. Russell.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

On this date while on patrol I was behind a maroon in color WV Jetta traveling
East on California's Ave. At the intersection of California and 17th I observed
the vehicle pull into the parking lot of a closed factory, this was unusual as
the parking lot is mostly sectioned off to prevent entry and is not paved
therefore not a place people typically pull over, the turn was also abrupt as if
they were trying to avoid being in front of my patrol car. I made contact with
the vehicle and identified the driver as Jonathan Cosgray. I knew Jonathan to
have a warrant for two charges stemming from this case.
Dispatch confirmed the warrant and Jonathan was taken into custody. Jonathan was
transported to our station processed and then transported to the Mahoning County
Jail without incident. Jonathan is due in court tomorrow 01/04/2024 at MCC#3.

at 18763 5th Street in Beloit. I called out my traffic stop to dispatch.
I exited my cruiser and performed a passenger side approach of the suspect
vehicle. I observed the driver was the only occupant of the vehicle, and the
male rolled the passenger window down. I advised the driver my name and
department as well as the reason for the stop was due to him not coming to a

from the headlights of the cruiser did not stop completely before he drove out
of the intersection. The driver, later identified as Dalton Bickley, stated he
was sorry for running the stop sign.
I asked for Daltons license. I returned to my marked cruiser and advised

him that his license was suspended. I also asked Dalton if he was aware he was
suspended and he stated he did know he was. I asked Dalton to shut the car off
and step outside of the vehicle and he complied with the request. I did a Terry
pat down for any weapons on Dalton and did not find any weapons.

Upon entering the store I noticed Shack at the self check out, I then advised
Shack to place her hands be hind her back and she began to refuse. While
attempting to handcuff Shack she attempted to grab my gentile area and my face.
I then advised her to stop and I then escorted Shack out to my marked Police
Cruiser along with the manager at Circle K. While walking to my cruiser Shack
attempted to reach for my weapon and that is when I assisted her to my cruiser.
At this time Chief Harris arrived to Assist. While checking my handcuffs on

On 12/24/2023 I responded to 705 E. Ohio Ave for a threat complaint from
Stephanie Shack. Upon arrival I observed the front door was wide open. I made
contact at the residence by knocking on the door and yelling into the residence
to identify myself as a Sebring police officer. I could hear Stephanie Shack's
voice coming from the back of the residence telling someone they should eat a
little more and they are such a fat hog. I then yelled back into the residence
with no response from anyone.
I identified as being a Police officer once again. At this time Ms. Shack came
to the door and stated everything is fine and she wants nothing done. She
demanded that I leave at this time. I advised Ms. Shack that she had several
warrants out for her arrest. She instantly became agitated and walked away
towards her dining room stating she is not going to jail and I need to leave her
house now. I advised that I am not leaving until she is taken into custody. Ms.
Shack attempted to sit down at her table and stated she is going to smoke her
cigarette and take her bath for church and to leave her alone once again. I then
advised her that she is going into cuffs. I then grabbed Ms. Shacks left arm and
placed it behind her back. She started to yell to leave her alone and get off of
her. I then grabbed her right arm and placed it behind her back. She kept
yelling telling me to get off of her and to leave her house. I then placed the
handcuffs on Ms. Shack and double locked the cuffs.
Ms. Shack was then escorted to the front door where she kicked the glass window
out of the storm door. She kept yelling stating she is going to have my job,
name calling such as she kept stating that I should be ashamed of myself and she
will get revenge on me some day in the future and repeated multiple times that
she will never forget what I did to her 7 years ago and I caused her to lose her
life.
I then placed Ms. Shack in the back of my marked patrol car unit 302. Ms. Shack
was transported to the Sebring Police department where she was booked and
processed. Ms. Shack made threats that if she could she would choke this officer
out and name called more. She kept asking who the EMT bitch was that was working
up front.
Officer Brindack came into the Sebring Police department to assist with Ms.
Shack. Ms. Shack was escorted by Officer Brindack and myself to my marked patrol
car unit #302 where she was placed in the backseat and buckled for her safety.
I then transported Ms. Shack to the Mahoning county jail. Ms. Shack kept stating
she wanted to see all of the lies the officers have told about her the entire
way to the jail, she also made comments and statements saying that if she could
she would cause harm to this officer and I ruined her and her whole families
lives and she hopes this officers vehicle blows up with me inside.
Once at the jail she stated not to touch her when attempting to get her out of
the patrol car, she attempted to shrug away but then cooperated. Once inside of
the jail Ms. Shack continued to be aggressive and call derogatory names towards
the deputies and stating she is suicidal at this time. Nothing at this time.

On 27Dec23 After Speaking with The Village Of Sebring Prosecutor Charges have
been approved for Intimidation against Shack.

On 12/29/23 the Sebring Police Department received a credible tip about a
stolen John Deere side by side located in a shed at an address in the 500 block
of W. California Ave. After checking with local departments, officers determined
that the John Deere was likely stolen from Goshen Township in April of 2023.
A warrant was obtained and executed by officers of the Sebring Police
Department, with assistance from Goshen and Smith Township. A John Deere
matching the description of the stolen vehicle was recovered from the property.
The resident of the property identified as Jonathan Cosgray was taken into
custody after ten grams of methamphetamine was found on his person. Cosgray was
booked into the Mahoning County Jail for methamphetamine possession with more
charges pending the outcome of the investigation into the stolen vehicle.
**************************
DECEMBER 29, 2023 SEBRING VILLAGE POLICE DEPARTMENT
At 2021 hours on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, Sebring Police Dispatch received
a phone call from a subject who advised that he had just stabbed his wife 15
times, that he had her lover hostage, and that he would use explosives on his
house if he did not receive a $10,000 cash ransom. The caller said that his name
was “Jamal” and that he was at an address on E. Kentucky Avenue.
Upon arriving, the responding officer took a position of cover behind his patrol
car, with him observing a subject on the front porch of the residence. Upon
contacting the subject, it was found that he was a resident of the home, with it
being determined that everything was okay, and the call had been the result of a
hoax known as “swatting”.
As of the time of this release, contact had been made with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, as well as police in Florida who have received similar phone
calls with the target of this incident being a U.S. Senator.
Other politicians within the state of Ohio have also recently been the target
of swatting incidents. The Village of Sebring Police Department treats the
safety of its citizens with the highest priority and will continue to
investigate this matter, as well as work with other law enforcement agencies to
prosecute those involved in the latest incident.
In reference to a previous incident. During the early morning hours of Sunday,
November 19, 2023, Sebring Police Dispatch received a phone call from a
veteran’s crisis line reporting that a male subject was at a residence on E.
Kentucky Avenue, that he was suicidal, and that he had made threats to harm
himself and have police shoot him. Officers responded to this address, with
attempts at contacting those inside being unsuccessful. Alliance Police
Department’s Special Response Team was called, with a resident of the home
coming to the door and being briefly detained. Once it was found that the
resident was not the caller, he was released.
During the ensuing investigation into the matter, the audio recording of the
call to the veteran’s Crisis line was obtained, with it being found that the
caller at no point said that he lived in The Village of Sebring. The caller also
appeared to be suffering from a legitimate mental health crisis and had called
the line seeking help.
Upon review of documents provided by this crisis line, it also appeared that the
veteran’s line had used several open source websites in an effort to determine
who the caller was, with the text-now phone number that the caller used showing
on these websites as belonging to the resident of the Kentucky Avenue address.
The identity of the caller was also found in the course of this investigation,
with the law enforcement agency where he was last known to reside being advised
of the concerns for his mental health.
Because the caller at no point claimed to live in Sebring and the fact that he
appeared to be seeking legitimate help, prosecution was declined. A local media
outlet did air a story of this incident, which was not a true “swatting”
incident.

headlights turn East bound into the alley way behind the laundry mat where it
stopped at the dumpster. The vehicle appeared to be a 2 toned in color Subaru
station wagon. Gray on the bottom and dark blue to black on top.
I then observed 3 subjects exit the vehicle and start unloading bags of trash to
the dumpster where they left beside the dumpster on the ground. I observed what
appeared to be 2 females and a male subject. I then started to open the bags of
trash to check for any mail that belonged to an individual and or an address.

sidewalk in the 200 Block of N. 15th Street.
Upon investigating the matter, contact was made with an area residents who was
found to have lied about the source of the rubbish, with the resident telling
police that his ex-girlfriend dumped the items on the curb when he was in fact
found to have been the one to do so.
On at 0653 hours 12/05/2023, Chief Harris informed me that while on his way to

sidewalk in the downtown district. Chief Harris said that Ptl. Demski was on his
way to address the matter, with him asking that I assist. Upon arriving on
location, I noted the large pile of miscellaneous items was sitting along the
curb portion of the sidewalk in front of 270 N. 15th Street. In going through
the pile, I observed personal items, including a shot record book to a child.
I then began knocking on the door to 270 N. 15th Street, with no answering being

apartment in the building. A dark colored Dodge pickup was parked in the parking
area of the building with the truck showing as belonging to Mr. Turner. At this
time, Ptl. Demski and I were approached by a woman who had parked along 15th
Street, with her telling us that her daughter rents an apartment in the building
and with her asking if we were there in reference to her. After determining that
her daughter was not the person we were there for, I asked the woman if she was
familiar with other tenants of the building, with her telling us that she was
and that she knew a male names Justin to be an occupant of another apartment. A
photograph was retrieved from the pile and shown to the woman, with her
positively identifying Justin as being in the photo. The woman said that she
would call her daughter to see if she could make contact with Justin, seeing as
the door leading inside to the apartments was locked. The woman then left the
scene.
A few minutes later, Ptl. Demski and I were joined by Ptl. Melendez, who also
began knocking on the door. A few seconds later, a male subject later determined
to be Justin Turner, answered the door. Immediately upon answering the door,
Justin stated "what the fuck can I help you all with". When I explained to
Justin that the reason that we were there was because of the pile of the large
rubbish that was thrown on the sidewalk, he told us that his ex-girlfriend had
thrown the items where they were. Turner maintained this, with me explaining to
him that he could be criminally charged if he was found to be lying to the
police. Turner at this time also refused to provide a written statement, with
him telling me that his statement is his ex-girlfriend left the stuff on the
sidewalk.
A short time later, the owner of the building, Chad Christian, arrived on scene.
Chad said that he would help removed the items from the sidewalk, with him
agreeing that the rubbish could not be allowed to remain where it was. After
collecting all needed information from Turner, all units cleared.
At 08:59 hours, Chad Christian called the police station to inform officers that
XXXX was at the apartment. Ptl. Melendez and I immediately went to this
location, with me observing XXXX standing near the pile of rubbish. At this time
told Ptl. Melendez and I that she had not thrown the items out onto the
sidewalk/curb area. with her telling us that she had broken up with Justin
Turner, that he is an alcoholic, and that he had thrown the items where they
were. In addition, XXXX was able to produce text messages from Justin that
showed him telling her that her "stuff was out of his place". This conversation
was photographed and will be added to the department photos in the shared drive.
While XXXX was collecting her property. I went upstairs to speak with Turner,
who again denied having thrown the items out into the sidewalk and with him
maintaining that it was XXXX who had done so. After speaking with Turner, I
again went outside to speak with XXXX, who by this time had her employer on
location with a vehicle so that she could collect her property. A voluntary
statement was also collected from XXXX at this time, with her swearing that it
was Turner who had thrown the items onto the sidewalk. Once all property was
collected, Ptl. Melendez and I cleared from the scene.
Upon returning to the police station, I made spoke with Prosecutor, Gary Van
Brocklin, regarding the matter and the evidence that was obtained that indicated
that Justin Turner had repeatedly lied to police. Prosecutor Van Brocklin
advised to go forward with charges of Falsification (ORC: 2921.13(A)(I)),
Obstructing official business (ORC: 2921.31(A)), and Nuisance (SCO: 1317.01).
Prosecutor Van Brocklin advised to obtain an arrest warrant through the court
for these charges.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

At approximately 13:30 hours on 12/05/2023, Ptl. Melendez and I went to 270 N.
15th Street in an effort to serve the arrest warrants that had been obtained
through Mahoning County Court #3 on Justin Turner. Upon arriving, Turner was
located sitting on the stairs in the foyer area immediately inside the door of
the apartment. Turner was advised of the arrest warrants by Ptl. Melendez, with
him instructing him to stand up. Turner failed to comply with this request, with
him instead reaching into his hoodie pocket and starting to aggressively shuffle
around. Because of this I drew my department issued laser and painted the red
dot on his chest. Ptl. Melendez and I also began ordering him to show us his
hands.
Turner at this point complied, with me placing him in handcuffs, which were
properly spaced and double locked. I then searched turner incident to arrest
before securing him in the back of car #304 for transport back to the police
station. Once on station, I photographed, fingerprinted, and processed Turner,
with him being released on a $2,750.00 own recognizance bond. It was made
explicitly clear to Turner that he is required to appear for arraignment at
Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday, December 7, 2023.

ARREST: Derek Johnson
945 Homewood Ave. Salem
CHARGE: 2925.11 Possession of drugs
On 30Jun22 I responded to the Oak Ridge Motel in reference to an Unwanted
Subject, Upon arrival I (Ptl. Melendez) met with Samantha Metzger who is a
manager at Oakridge and also Deborah Nelson. Metzger advised that a male later
identified as Derek Johnson who was occupying unit 23 came into Perkins to pay
for another night at Oak Ridge. Metzger advised that she then advised Johnson
that he could not occupy the room for another night because the room has been
reserved for another person and that he needed to check out by noon. After
advising Johnson Metzger then states that Johnson advised that he would return
the key back after they were done getting all of their things out of the room.
Metzger then approached Johnson 30 minutes later and he still refused to turn
the key in and it had already been three hours after check out time which was
noon and she needed him to vacate the room.
At this time I then began to walk to unit 23 and Chief Harris arrived to assist
me, I then knocked on the door and announced myself saying Police Department
come to the door. Johnson then opened the door and came outside of the room. I
then asked if anyone was in the room and he advised no "You can check, I'm the
only one here". I then advised Johnson that I was going to conduct a "Terry
Frisk" for weapons, I then checked Johnson and he was cleared. I again asked
Johnson and he again stated that no one was in the room and I could check. At
this time Johnson remained outside with Chief Harris, I then entered the unit
and called out " Police Department ". At this time in plain view I observed
hypodermic needle full of blood.
After observing the hypodermic needle I then exited the room and advised Johnson
that he was being detained. After placing Johnson in handcuffs I then advised
him of his Miranda Rights and asked if he understood his rights and if he wanted
to speak to me and he advised "Yes" and he wanted to speak with myself and Chief
Harris. I then placed Johnson in the back of my marked patrol vehicle 303. I
then asked Johnson if he had any type of narcotics in his room and he stated
"yes". Chief Harris then asked where would the narcotics be located at and
Johnson stated that it would be inside of the unit inside of his green bookbag.
I then asked Johnson what was inside of the bag and he advised that he had
Methamphetamine, Fentanyl and Marijuana in side of the green book bag.
Myself and Chief Harris then entered the unit and found the bookbag that Johnson
described to us and we also located the narcotics within the bag as he described
to us. Myself and Chief Harris also conducted a search of the room and the room
was clear of any other narcotics.
I then contacted Sebring Dispatch and advised if Ptl. Peterman or Ptl. Ossler
were on station and dispatch advised that they were so I then requested them to
come and assist. A short time later Both patrolman Ossler and Peterman arrived
and I advised Ossler to obtain witness statements from both the manager and her
employee. Ptl. Peterman then assisted in searching the room and he then located
a black scale used for weighing under the mattress.
All evidence was then collected and placed in the back of my patrol vehicle.
Johnson was then released to his mother since he was under the influence and
advised that pending the results of the narcotics test he may possibly be
receiving addition charges if the narcotics found came back positive. I then
advised Johnson that he had one hour to get all of his belongings and leave the
Motel's property. Johnson and his mother then retrieved his things and left the
property.

I conducted a random registration check of a black Ford Fusion that was
traveling directly in front of me.
The vehicle showed through LEADS as being registered to a Madisin Bryant, who's
driver license was suspended. Upon learning this, I activated the patrol car's
overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop, with the vehicle coming
to a stop in the 900 block of N. Johnson Road.
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed her of the
reason for the stop as well as requested her driver license and insurance. The
driver was able to produce both requested documents, with her Ohio Driver
License showing her to be Madisin Bryant. When I informed Bryant that her
license was showing to be suspended, she said that she wasn't sure why, and with
the exception of a traffic ticket around June, she had no prior law enforcement
encounters.
I then returned to my patrol car where I again confirmed that Bryant's license
was under a noncompliance suspension. At this point I began drafting Uniform
Traffic Citation No. 032546. I cited Bryant for driving under suspension (ORC:

As the car passed, I activated my emergency overhead lights, and audible siren.
I safely performed a u-turn in the parking lot of Apex Control Systems and
caught up to the vehicle. The vehicle did stop on North Johnson, just north of
Smith Township Administrative Building (846 North Johnson Road). I approached
the passenger side of the vehicle and identified myself and the reason for the
stop was the speed. The driver, Brent Bailey, was apologetic and admitted to
speeding. I asked for Brents license, vehicle registration, and insurance. Brent
did comply with my request and handed me all up-to-date documentation for the
vehicle.
I returned to my vehicle and issued Brent on uniform traffic ticket #032067 a

On 11/28/2023 at 13:33 hours, I was called to Sebring Tire (10 N. 12th Street)
for a report of a vehicle matching the description of the vehicle involved in a
hit-skip on 11/25/2023 at 186 E. Indiana Avenue.
The vehicle, a gray F-150, was also reported to have damage consistent with that
that the subject vehicle was believed to have, including damage to the driver
side front-fender area.
Upon arriving at the business, I made contact with an employee of the business.
who advised me that his friend's vehicle had been struck this past Saturday
evening and a gray or silver pickup was believed to be involved. Employee went
on to tell me that a gray F-150 with damage to the front driver side had been
brought into the business, with the owner of the vehicle accusing them of
damaging the spindle on the truck when they put tires on it this past Tuesday.
Employee said that he knows for a fact that this damage was not present when the
truck had been at the business and that it would be consistent with a collision
such as the one his friend's, car had been involved in.
I then spoke with the business owner, who at this time called Austin Courtney,
the owner of the F-150 and told him that I wished to speak with him. I also took
photographs of the truck, noting dark gray paint exchange to the truck's front
driver side fender. This dark gray color appeared to be the same as the color of
vehicle. I also photographed the tires on the truck and their tread pattern.
A short time later, Austin Courtney arrived on location. Austin then accompanied
me to my vehicle, with him sitting in the front seat. It should be noted that I
made it explicitly clear to Austin at this time that he was not under arrest and
that I simply wished to speak with him regarding a hit skip that I believed his
truck to be involved in. I also made it clear to Austin that he was not being
detained.
In speaking with Austin, I informed him of the hit/skip that my agency was
investigating, with me asking him where he was this past Saturday evening. Josh
went on to tell me that he had been at his friend's house in Damascus watching a
college football game until around dark. Josh began making statements about not
drinking, with him admitting to me that he did strike a vehicle in the 100 block
of E. Indiana Avenue on his way home. Austin said that he fled the scene because
he was scared. Austin at this time agreed to accompany me to the police station,
with me informing him that I would be issuing him a citation.
Austin then met me at the Sebring Police Station, where I again informed him
that he was not being detained. I did, however, read him his Miranda Rights,
with me explaining them to him. Austin agreed to speak with me, with him also
completing a witness statement detailing the incident. I then drafted Uniform
Traffic Citation No. 032545. Austin was cited for stopping after an accident on
public roads or highway (ORC: 4549.02) as well as operation without being in
reasonable control of vehicle, trolley, or streetcar (ORC: 4511.202). Austin
signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his mandatory appearance
at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday, December 7th, 2023. It
should be noted that Austin was able to produce an insurance card for Erie

instructed to bring up to date insurance cards with him to court. Nothing

On arrival units found Larry Gibbons Rhodes and Darnell Freeman arguing in the
public parking lot next to 146 W Maryland Ave.. Units separated the parties and
Sgt. Kelm spoke with Darnell while I spoke with Larry.
Larry stated Darnell showed up for no reason what so ever and tried to fight him
completely un prompted and Larry was responding to Darnell threatening to "xxxxx"
by leaving his property and joining Darnell in the public parking lot to
threaten him back in "self defense".
Darnell stated he was there to retrieve property and Larry started screaming at
him.
Larry was adamant he wanted to press charges against Darnell.
Units agreed that both parties engaged in disorderly conduct by loudly
threatening one another in a public parking lot at 9 pm a time which is
typically quiet, including arguing in front of officers despite us telling both
parties to stop multiple times. Sgt. Kelm issued a MM citation to Darnell while
I issued a MM citation to Larry, both were cited for disorderly conduct 509.03
and issued copies of their citations.
When Larry was asked to sign he said "sir I'm not trying to disrespect you but I
don't understand the charge". Larry did not gesture for the pen I had held out
for him and I considered this a refusal. Darnell cleared after receiving his
citation without incident and units also cleared.

At 11:42 hours on 11/21/2023, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 302. While traveling westbound in the 200 block of W. California Avenue, I
observed a dark colored pickup truck that was traveling eastbound on the same
stretch of road, with the vehicle appearing to be traveling at a rate of speed
that was substantially higher than that of the posted 25 MPH limit.
Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, 4 obtained a locked
speed of 46 MPH. As the vehicle approached closer, I activated the patrol car's
overhead emergency lights, turned around, and initiated a traffic stop. The
vehicle, a black Ford F-150 bearing Ohio Registration, came to a complete stop
along the roadside in the 100 block of W. California Avenue.
Upon approaching the vehicle, the driver immediately said "I'm sorry, I know I
was speeding. I'm late for an appointment". At this time, I also requested his
driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver
was able to produce an Ohio Driver License that showed him to be Freddie L.
Householder, with him also later being able to produce proof of insurance.
I then returned to my patrol car where 1 drafted Uniform Traffic Citation
No.032541. I cited Householder for speed (SCO: 333.03) for going 46 MPH in the
marked 25 MPH zone. Householder then signed the citation, was given his copy,

CHARGES:
ORD 4511.39 Turn and Stop Signals
ORD 4510.11 DUS
At 15:16 hours while performing patrol duties I observed a vehicle in front of
me that had its left turn signal on for approximately 2 blocks between East
Indiana and East Wisconsin. I activated my emergency overhead lights and audible
siren at the intersection of East Michigan and North 12th Street and the vehicle
continued driving, turning left onto East Wisconsin, and pulling into the
driveway of 875 North 12th Street.
The vehicle stopped and the driver jumped out immediately and looked at me
asking why I pulled him over. I advised the driver I stopped him for the turn
signal violation. I had been advised earlier by dispatch that Leonard Harris had
been a possible suspect in an earlier case and dispatch notified me that he had
an active warrant out of Canton PO. I asked the driver if he was Leonard Harris,
and he did in fact state he was Leonard Harris.
Given this information, I advised Leonard he had an active warrant and needed to
come over to my marked cruiser #302 to be placed in handcuffs. Leonard started
becoming argumentative towards me, and Amanda Hudson, along with 2 teenagers
living at the residence, came over within a few feet of me and started yelling
at me as I was attempting to place Leonard in handcuffs. I issued Amanda and the
two teenagers a verbal warning for obstruction of official business as they were
consistently yelling at me and not listening to my orders to back away from me
and Leonard during my investigation.
I turned on my audio recording device and began recording as I had realized it
was not recording the incident.
During my arrest of Leonard he would not put his hands behind his back and
became resistive against me, pulling his arms away several times as I attempted
to handcuff him. I gave Leonard several commands to place his hands behind his
back, and he did eventually place his hands behind his back and I placed him in
handcuffs that were double locked and properly gapped as I could place my index
finger all the way through both handcuffs without difficulty. Once handcuffed,
Amanda Hudson approached me and Leonard again telling Leonard to give her the
car keys.
Leonard took the keys from his pocket and threw them on the ground as I advised
Amanda again to back away from the area. Amanda ignored my command, instead
taking the car keys Leonard tossed on the driveway, picking them up, and
immediately getting into the Red Jeep and pulling it into the garage at the
residence.
I placed Leonard into the back seat of #302, and dispatch advised me that
someone at the scene was calling into the station yelling at dispatcher Murphy
#519 about the incident. I asked Amanda if she was the one calling into dispatch
and yelling at her and she stated she was. At this time Leonard started
complaining about the handcuffs being too tight and I advised I would address
it. I had Leonard exit the cruiser and readjusted the handcuffs by loosening
them both up. Afterwards I placed Leonard in my cruiser again.
Dispatch advised Canton did want him and would be willing to meet with me at
Duke and Duchess on SR62. I then cleared without further incident.
I arrived on station and processed Leonards citation on citation #032064 for DUS
Non-Compliance(0RC4510.11), and Turn and stop signals(0RC 4511.39) with a
mandatory court date of 11/22/2023 @ 0900AM. Leonard signed his citation and I
cleared station with Leonard enroute to Duck and Duchess.
I arrived at Duck and Duchess and waited for Canton PD. When Canton PO arrived,
officers performed a brief overview and changeover of Leonard to Canton PDs
custody.
I then cleared for station.
At 17:20 hours I activated my audio recorder and arrived back at the residence
of 875 North 12h Street with Lt. McDaniel #367 of STPD and issued Amanda Hudson
on citation #032065 with wrongful entrustment (SCO 335.05) with a mandatory

Charges:
ORC: 2925.11 Possession of Controlled Substances (Meth) (DTF)
ORC: 2925.14 Illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia (DTF)
ORC: 4513.04 Headlights (DTF)
Narrative Date 11/17/2023 22:51 Officer Reed
At 20:59 hours on 11/17/2023, a traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle in the
100 black of W. Ohio Avenue. The driver was found to be in possession of
approximately 1 gram of crystal methamphetamine as well as a glass ball-pipe.
The driver was cited for headlights required as well as arrested on charges of
felony possession of controlled substances and possession of drug paraphernalia.
At 20:59 hours on 11/17/2023, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While patrolling eastbound in the 200 block of E. Ohio Avenue, I
observed a silver Ford sedan traveling westbound in the same road. The vehicle's
passenger side headlight was not functioning, leaving it with only one in
operation. Upon observing this I turned my patrol car around, catching up to the
vehicle in the 100 block of W. Ohio Avenue. At this time I activated the patrol
car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. It should be noted
that I did note that the vehicle took an unusual amount of time to stop, with it
turning right from W. Ohio Avenue before finally stopping on N. 16th Street.
Upon approaching the vehicle, I noted that the male driver did not immediately
roll the window down, with him finally doing so after I stood at his window for
approximately 10 seconds. Once the driver rolled the window down, I informed him
of the reason for the stop as well as requested his driver license. The driver
produced both an Oregon Identification Card as well as an Ohio Driver License.
Through these I was able to determine that he was Scott R. Hermiller. During
this time I noted that Hermiller appeared increasingly agitated and nervous, as
was evident by his tone and inflection of voice as well as excessive movement of
his arms and hands.
Ptl. Brindack arrived to my location at this time. I then asked Hermiller if
there was anything in the vehicle that a K9 would alert on, including illegal
drugs such as methamphetamine, with him immediately telling me that he had both
marijuana and methamphetamine in the vehicle with him, with him telling me that
he cannot get legal Adderall so he used methamphetamine instead.
Due to Hermiller informing me of the illicit drugs in his vehicle, I asked him
to step out and speak with me. Once Hermiller was out of the vehicle, I secured
him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked. I then asked for
and received consent from Hermiller to search his pockets as well as conduct a
pat-down of his person, with no additional contraband or weapons being located.
Hermiller was then secured in the back of my patrol car while Ptl. Brindack and
Sgt. Kelm conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle. During this search a
glass "ball pipe" with burn marks and residue of a light colored substance was
located as was a small plastic baggy with a light-colored crystalline substance
inside of it. This substance, based upon my training and experience, appeared to
be methamphetamine, a schedule II controlled substance. A Mobile-Detect field
test kit was then used to sample the substance, with it field testing positive
to be such.
I then returned to the patrol car where I read Hermiller his Miranda Rights,
with him telling me that he understood these rights. During this time, Hermiller
began making statements to me about "just killing him". Because of this, Sebring
Fire / EMS was called to assess him. Due to Hermiller denying suicidal ideation,
he was cleared on scene.
Sebring Tire was then called and a tow truck requested to our location. At this
time I also informed Hermiller that he was under arrest for possession of
controlled substances (ORC: 2925.11) as well as possession of drug paraphernalia
(ORC: 2925.14). I then transported Hermiller back the the Sebring Police
Station, where I completed the necessary paperwork for commitment to jail.
Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032569 was also issued to Hermiller, this being for
ORC: 4513.04 (Headlights). Hermiller did sign this citation before being given
his Copy. Sgt. Kelm also photographed Hermiller while I checked to confirm that
his DNA was already in CODIS.
Once all paperwork and processing was completed, Ptl. Demski transported
Hermiller to the Mahoning County Jail. Both the suspected methamphetamine, as a
"ball pipe" were secured in temporary evidence locker #1.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

On 11/19/23 at approximately 0230hrs, officers were called to the 100 block
of E. Kentucky Ave. after the Veterans Crisis Center reported that a male living
at an address in the area was going to kill himself or have a shootout with the
police. Officers from Sebring Police Department, with assistance from Smith
Township Police arrived in the area and set up a perimeter around the residence.
Attempts were made to to call the resident out out his home over the P.A.
speaker. After getting no response from the home, Alliance SRT was called to the
scene.
Officers from Sebring were able to contact the individual by phone however were
unable to convince him to come outside.
At approximately 0530hrs, the residents emerged visibly confused. After
verifying no one was hurt, officers spoke to the residents. It was determined
after a short investigation that the residents of the home had not contacted the
crisis line.
Further investigation revealed that the phone number used to contact the crisis
line, and police was from an application called Textnow. It is believed that the
unknown person who made the calls had "spoofed" the residents number to mask his
own. The investigation of this incident is ongoing. The possibility of this
being a case of "Swatting" has also not been ruled out.

On 11/17/2023 officers conducted a traffic stop for an equipment violation on W. Ohio Ave. near N 16th St. When asked if there was any contraband in the vehicle, the driver Scott Hermiller of Alliance, stated there was methamphetamine in the car. Officers then conducted a search of the vehicle and observed a small baggie with a white crystalline substance inside which field test positive for methamphetamine. A glass ball pipe with burnt white residue was also recovered.
Hermiller was placed under arrest, booked and transported to Mahoning County

Possible Burglary
437 East Ohio Ave
Offense Description:
Possession of Drugs
Permitting Drug Abuse
Drug Paraphernalia
At 17:19 hours on 10/28/2023, Jef Tolson, who resides at 429 E. Ohio Avenue,
called to report a possible burglary in progress at his neighbors home, located
at 437 E. Ohio Avenue. Upon arriving on location immediately after Ptl. Brindack,
I was able to observe an open window on the Westside wall of the home. Directly
underneath this window were two chairs that were stacked in a manner that
indicated that they had been used to enter the residence. An open window was
also found in the eastside wall of the home. During this time I continued to
stand with the back of the residence in my view with Ptl. Brindack knocked,
identified himself as a police officer, and attempted to get the attention of
the residents of the home. I also asked dispatch to attempt phone contact with
Michelle Powell, who is the known resident of the home. After
not being able to make contact with Michelle and her safety being of high
concern, Ptl. Brindack and I entered the home based upon exigent circumstances
through the unlocked front door.
Ptl. Brindack and I began checking the house, observing that plants on a shelf
near the window on the eastside of the residence appeared to have been pushed
from their original locations with potting soil laying on the kitchen floor.
This furthering concerns that an intruder could possibly be in the residence.
Ptl. Brindack and I continued on through the home, with me observing what was
immediately obvious to me to be shards from a damaged glass "ball pipe" laying
on a table in an upstairs bedroom. What was evident to both Ptl. Brindack and I
as being marijuana and a glass marijuana "bowl" were also observed on a nearby
dresser in this same room as was a "torch lighter", which is commonly used in
conjunction with a "ball pipe" to ingest methamphetamine. All of these items
being in plain view while officers cleared to residence in an effort to either
verify the safety of the residents, apprehend a person who entered unlawfully,
or both.
Once it was evident that no one was inside the residents, I made contact with
Prosecutor, Gary Van Brocklin, and informed him of the situation.
At this time it was mutually agreed upon that I would contact Mahoning County
Court #3 Judge, Joseph Schiavoni, in order to see if a search warrant could be
obtained. I then made contact by phone with Judge Schiavoni, with him agreeing
to sign a search warrant after being informed of all facts and circumstances
surrounding the incident.
A search warrant for the residence, any vehicles, and persons present was then
drafted, with me meeting with Judge Schiavoni and having both it and the
accompanying affidavit signed by him. It should be noted that the scope and
target of this warrant was any methamphetamine, related paraphernalia, and/or
marijuana or related paraphrenia. The residence was then searched by Sgt. Kelm,
Ptl. Brindack, Ptl. Demski, and Ptl. Peterman. It should be noted that involved
officers were able to locate a large bag or what was immediately evident to be
hallucinogenic mushrooms, as well as a smaller bag of a light colored
crystalline substance, that appeared to be methamphetamine. In addition to this,
officers were able to locate five glass pipes, which appeared to have been
broken ball pipes, identical to the type of which's remains were observed during
the initial clearing of the residence.
Officers also located a green vegetative substance that appeared to be
Marijuana, as well as THC gummies, prescription pills (Alprazolam and Diazepam)
not belonging to Michelle Powell. This in addition to and marijuana
paraphernalia including the glass bowl that was in plain view and a "bong".
In speaking with Ptl. Brindack while the search was ongoing, he informed me that
he found the hallucinogenic mushrooms and suspected crystal meth inside of a
container that was made to look like a book in the bedroom that was believed to
belong to Michelle Powell. All items were collected as contraband.
I then went to the rear of the residence where I spoke with Michelle Powell who
at the time had been secured in the back of car 304. In speaking with Michelle,
I read her her Miranda Rights, which she said that she understood. Michelle also
agreed to speak with me. As I spoke with Michelle, I asked her to provide me
with a general layout of the house and who's bedroom was on the east side of the
home in the upstairs. Michele admitted that it was her bedroom, but said that it
was "kind a like the neighborhood's now". Powell then detailed an incident the
week prior where at 05:00 hours she came home to Carnie McAllister "talking shit
about her" and that she then heard "Spud" Brian Moore's voice, so she walked out
of the house.
Michelle did however say that any books would belong to her as would any
marijuana. Michele however said that the large bag of Mushrooms belonged to
Carnie McAllister. Michelle then admitted to me that she is a user of
hallucinogenic mushrooms, but that ones that belong to her would be in smaller
bags in her underwear drawer, provided Carnie had not taken them. Michelle also
told me at this time that she gets the mushrooms that she uses from Michigan
along with her marijuana. When I asked the amount that she brings from Michigan
when she does go, Michelle said about an ounce and that she pays about $200.00
for this amount. Michelle however maintained that the methamphetamine that had
been found was not hers, with her telling me that she was sure some had been
found and that she dates "Bean" (Michael Bean) and that Carnie is always at her
house. Michelle did however at this time admit that any scales that were located
belonged to her and that she uses them to "micro-dose" her mushrooms. I then
concluded by field interview with Powell.
Once all contraband was collected, Powell was placed under arrest for numerous
drug related offenses and transported to the Sebring Police Station. At this
time, an inventory of al collected contraband was completed. This inventory
found that 49 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms had been collected along with 6
grams of methamphetamine (field test showed positive). In addition, five glass
pipes with burn marks/residue were collected along with one digital scale,
numerous THC products, one pil 5mg Diazepam (schedule VI controlled substance),
one 2mg Alprazolam (schedule VI controlled substance) and a half of a Subutex
pill (Buprenorphine a schedule Il controlled substance) were seized.
Powell was charged with 2 third degree felony counts of possession of controlled
substances (ORC: 2925.11) for possessing bulk amounts of meth and Psilocin
(Hallucinogenic mushrooms), three fifth-degree felony counts of possession of
controlled substances (ORC: 2925.11) for possessing the Alprazolam, Diazepam and
Buprenorphine (these charges all being elevated to fifth-degree felonies from a
first degree misdemeanors due ot a prior conviction of possession of heroin in
2014), one first-degree misdemeanor charge of permitting drug abuse (ORC:
2925.13), and one fourth-degree misdemeanor charge of illegal use or possession
of drug paraphernalia (ORC: 2925.14). Powell was then transported the the
Mahoning County Jail without incident.
It should also be noted that Michelle informed officers that the reason for the
windows being opened and what appeared to be a burglary was in fact her trying
to gain entry to her own home. Nothing additional to report.

Upon conducting a registration check of the vehicle, it showed to have expired

I then sat in the alleyway behind the business, observing the vehicle pull onto
N. 13th Street before proceeding westbound on E. Ohio Avenue. At this time, I
activated the overhead emergency lights on my patrol car and initiated a traffic
stop. The vehicle came to a stop in front of the police station (135 E. Ohio
Avenue), with me approaching and making contact with the driver. In speaking
with the driver, I informed him of the reason for the traffic stop as well as
requested his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The
driver at this time told me that he knew that his vehicle's registration was
expired and that he had been waiting for someone to stop him so that he would
have a reason to update them. The driver also told me that he did not have
insurance on the vehicle, nor did he have his registration with him. He was
however able to produce an Ohio Driver License that showed him to be Thomas
Gutierrez.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032531. I cited Gutierrez for expired/unlawful license plates (SCO: 335.10). I
also called for a tow truck, seeing as Gutierrez did not have insurance on the
vehicle and the fact that the plates were ten months expired. Gutierrez then
signed the citation, was given his copy, and informed of his mandatory court
appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday, November 2,
2023. Sebring Tire also arrived on scene with the vehicle being towed to their

It should be noted that I made it explicitly clear to Gutierrez that he needed
valid insurance on the vehicle in order to get it out of impound, with me
explaining to him that it would not be fair to another motorist if he would have

At 15:32 hours on 09/16/2023, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 303. While preparing to pull into the parking lot of Circle K, located at
205 E. Ohio Avenue, I conducted a registration check on a green Subaru Forester,
bearing Ohio Registration. The vehicle returned to the owner, with the
registration on the vehicle showing as expired.
Upon learning this, I turned my patrol car around, and began attempting to catch
up to the vehicle, which by this time, was at the intersection of E.
Pennsylvania and N. 14th Street.
The vehicle then pulled onto E. Pennsylvania, before turning left and going
southbound on 15th Street. Once on 15th Street I activated my patrol car's
overhead emergency lights and audible siren. Despite being approximately 30' to
40' behind the vehicle, the driver did not pull over or otherwise alert to my
presence. It should also be noted that during this time, I changed the pitch on
the audible siren in an effort to get the vehicle to stop and to ensure that the
driver heard it.
At this time, Ptl. Brindack was behind me, with it being announced over the
radio that the driver was not stopping. As we came to the intersection of Texas
Avenue and S. 15th Street. the vehicle slowed, with me pulling around it and
boxing it in. I then exited my patrol car and ordered the driver, who I know to
be Linda Stuller, from the vehicle. Linda was able to produce an Ohio Driver
License, with her also telling me that she was unable to hear my siren and did
not know that I was behind her. At this lime, I decided that I would be towing
the vehicle and citing Linda for expired registration.
Sebring Tire was then called, with me returning to my patrol car where I drafted
Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032350. Linda was cited for expired registration (SCO:

On 10/19/2023 I was advised by Chief Harris that Mr. Comanitz has been a
nuisance in the village of Sebring by littering and feeding the stray cats
behind local businesses in the Village and it is upsetting the local business
owners in town. I was advised Walter walks around everyday feeding the stray
cats several times a day and leaves the foam bowls behind with out picking them
up. I was advised the cats are causing a nuisance by urinating and defecating
all over the property of the businesses. The cats are also laying all over
vehicles in the village.
Written statements were obtained by two business owners. The statements state
That Mr. Comanitz is feeding the cats behind their businesses everyday causing
the cats to urinate and defecate every where and they are laying on their
vehicles causing a nuisance to them. It also states that Mr. Comanitz is leaving
behind the foam bowls each time he is doing this. I was advised if he is seen in
town to make contact with the male subject and take him into custody for the
nuisance violation for the Village of Sebring.
On said date above, I observed Walter at the intersection of Ohio Ave and N.
16th Street. I stopped and made contact with Mr. Comanitz. I advised him of the
situation and found him lo be carrying three plastic bags containing empty cans
of tuna, foam bowls and large polar pop cups full of dry cat food.
Officer Melendez arrived on scene at this time. I then placed Mr. Comanitz into
custody and read him his Miranda warning. Mr. Comanitz became very agitated
stating he is an attorney and we are only going to make him rich and he will get
money out of this situation. The handcuffs were placed on Mr. Comanitz by the
assistance of Officer Melendez. Officer Melendez used his set of cuffs as well
as mine for extra arm room due to the age of Mr. Comanitz. The cuffs were double
locked and secured.
Mr. Comanitz was then escorted by officers to the marked patrol car Unit #304,
where he was placed in the back passenger seat and secured. I then transported
him to the Sebring Police department where he was booked, processed and released

on N. 12th Street at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher
than that of the posted 25 MPH limit. As the truck traveled between E. Indiana
and E. Maryland Avenues, I obtained a locked speed of 41 MPH with the department
issued laser device.
Once the vehicle passed my location, I pulled behind it, initiating a traffic
stop in the 100 block of S. 12th Street. At this time, I noted that Indiana
Registration was attached to the trailer the truck was towing.
Upon making contact with the driver, I informed him of the reason for the stop.
The driver immediately became hostile, stating "that's bullshit". I then
requested his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of
insurance. The driver was able to produce all three requested documents, with
his Ohio Driver license showing him to be Antonio D. Thurman.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032498. I cited Thurman for speed (SCO:333.03) for going 41 in the clearly
marked 25 MPH zone. Thurman then signed the citation, was given his copy, and
instructed of his option to either pay the citation, or to contest it by
appearing at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 hours on Thursday, October
12,2023. I then cleared from the stop.
It should also be noted that although I did clearly instruct Thurman to include
his current address as well as county of residence on the citation, he refused
to acknowledge these instructions, with him only signing the citation and
including a phone number.

CITED: Samson Johnson
17211 State Route 576 Pioneer, OH
CHARGE: 335.10 Expired Tags
On this date while on patrol in marked patrol car #302 I was traveling N on
N14th St bear Maryland Ave when I observed a dark colored sedan in front of me
turn off N 14th West onto Maryland Ave without using his turn signal the vehicle
proceeded to the intersection of Maryland Ave and 15th St and then after
stopping activated the turn signal and went South on N 15th St. I initiated a
traffic stop on the vehicle, a black Chrysler 200 which came to a complete stop
in the public lot just behind the Police department.
I approached the driver identified as Samson Johnson and detected a faint odor
of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I also noticed Samson's eyes
were extremely bloodshot and were an unusual yellowish orange color.
At this time dispatch radioed the vehicles plates were expired and I asked for a
second unit so I could begin SFSTs with Samson. Sgt. Kelm arrived shortly after
and I asked Samson to exit the vehicle. Samson agreed to submit to SFSTs. Samson
advised he did not wear glasses and had no medical issues that would affect the
tests. I began with a medical screen using my handcuff key as a stimulus
approximately l2 inches away from Samson eyes. I informed him to follow the
silver metallic tip of the handcuff key with his eyes and eyes only and not to
move his head.
I observed no resting nystagmus, equal pupil site, and equal tracking. During
the HGN I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, and distinct and
sustained nystagmus in the right eye and the left eye however the nystagrnus was
faint in the left, and Samson was squinting his eyes.
I then moved on to the walk and turn test and I instructed Samson to place his
feet together, and arms down at his sides. I instructed him not to begin until
told to do so. I informed Sampson he would be taking 9 heel to toe steps along a
straight yellow parking line which was conveniently nearby. Making a series of
small turns and then 9 heel to toe steps back. I showed him an example of the
steps and asked if he understood he said he did, and I informed him to begin.
Samson performed this test flawlessly.
Upon moving on to the next test, the One leg stand I informed Samson to remain
with his feet together and arms at his side. I informed him he could pick a leg
of his choosing and raise it approximately 12 inches off the ground and count
out loud by "one thousand" until told to stop and not to set his foot down at
any time. I then instructed him to begin. Samson Swayed while balancing, used
his arms for balance, put his foot down multiple times, stopped counting by "one
thousand." And around 17 stopped performing the test.
At this point we had one passed test, one failed test, and 4 out of 6 clues on
HGN.
We asked Samson to submit to a Portable breath test which he advised he would,
upon blowing the PBT displayed 0.013 I mistakenly read this as 0.13 which would
have been over the limit and placed Samson in handcuffs and placed him in the
back of my car.
Sgt. Kelm pointed out that the test was 0.013 making the results under the
limit. At this time Sampson agreed to give a second sample and upon blowing
showed 0.009 well under the legal limit, Sampson was immediately taken out of
cuffs at this time.
Samson was released with a citation for expired plates 335.10 given his plates
were almost one month expired and given court at MCC#3 of 10/19/2023 at 0900hrs.
Sampson was allowed to drive his vehicle away.

On 10/01/2023 @ 1704 hours I responded to Zeps Pizza (195 North Johnson Road)
for a report of a Motorcycle versus Car accident. I arrived on scene and
observed a motorcycle lying on its left side and a white vehicle in front of it.
I approached the vehicles and noted no airbag deployment from the car.
I spoke with the driver of the car, Brian Boston, who stated to me that he was
making a left turn into the parking lot of Zeps Pizza when the motorcycle struck
the rear passenger portion of his vehicle. Brian states he did not see the bike.
I asked if he needed to see EMS and he denied needing EMS.
I then approached the motorcycle driver, John Simchak, who was sitting on a
metal beam. I asked John if he was okay and needed EMS and he responded he did
and I observed him walk over towards me partly stumbling and being very uneasy
to his feet. As I spoke with John I did not smell any odor of an alcoholic
beverage on his person. Based upon the impact and vehicle size, I determined
John would need to see EMS and I would need Springers Tire to tow the car due to
the damage.
I radioed this to dispatch then asked John to sit down and try not to exert
himself as he may have an underlying injury. I took pictures to document the
position of both vehicles, and level of damage. I advised dispatch that the car
would need towed as it was unsafe to drive due to suspension damage causing the
rear passenger tire to be bent at an outward angle. John was sent via Sebring
EMS to Aultman Alliance Community Hospital, and I wrote Brian a citation for SCO
331.17 Right of way - turning left.
Springers Tire arrived on scene and picked the vehicle up to take to Sebring

At the conclusion of my investigation I determined Unit #1 (motorcycle) was
traveling south on north Johnson Road when Unit #2(Car) traveling north on north
Johnson Road made a left turn directly in front of Unit 2 subsequently causing
Unit 1 to strike Unit 2. I then cleared without further incident.

COURT: MCC #3 09/14/2023 @ 09:00
At 01:46 hours on 09/08/2023, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While patrolling northbound in the 500 block of N. 14th Street, I
observed the vehicle in front of me, a green Ford Focus, OH Reg , to not have a
functioning license plate light. Upon noticing this, I activated my patrol car's
overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The green Ford Focus,
bearing Ohio Registration came to a complete stop in front of the Sebring Local
Schools Administration Building. I then approached from the passenger side,
observing a female subject, who I know, sitting in the passenger seat. She was
rapidly rummaging through her purse, with me telling her to stop. I also
observed a white male sitting in the driver seat.
At this time I informed the driver of the reason for the stop, with me asking
for his driver license. The driver said that he did not have a driver license,
with me then instructing both him and Millard out of the vehicle. After
directing passenger to the rear bumper of the Focus, I began speaking with the
male subject, who identified himself as Cody Allen Russell. In speaking with
Cody, he told me that he did not have a driver license. When I asked Cody why he
was driving a car belonging to the passenger without a license he says "because
she shouldn't be driving right now".
It should be noted that her speech was rapid and her body language appeared very
animated. She said that this was because she was extremely manic at the time and
didn't feel comfortable driving.
I then asked him if he had any weapons on him, with Cody telling me that he had
several knives that he was carrying. Cody then began reaching for the knives,
with me instructing him not to. Cody then gave me consent to retrieve the knives
as well as to conduct a search of his person.
While I was beginning this search, I was advised by dispatch that Cody had
several warrants for his arrest and that we were within the pickup radius.
Because of this. I secured Cody in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and
doublelocked.
In going further with the search of Cody's person, I did not locate any
additional knives. I did however locate a llght colored crystalline substance
that was inside of a folded up lottery ticket in the small right pocket of
Cody's jeans. Based upon my training and experience, this substance appeared to
be methamphetamine. I was also advised at approximately this time that the
issuing agency of Cody's warrants did want him if we did not have charges on
him. I then secured Cody in the back of car 304 while I field tested the
suspected methamphetamine. The substance did test positive to be this drug,
which is a schedule II controlled substance. Sebring Tire also arrived on scene
with the vehicle being towed to their lot.
At this time I informed Cody that he was under arrest for possession of
controlled substances (ORC: 2925.1 1) as well as the fact that he would be
receiving a citation for illumination of rear license plate (ORC: 4513.05) as
well as Operating a motor vehicle without a valid license (ORC: 4510.12). While
driving Cody to the police station for processing, he said that the pants did
not belong to him and lhat he wouldn't have allowed me to search had he known
the methamphetamine was in his pocket. Cody was then photographed, finger
printed, processed, before being transported to the Mahoning County Jail without
incident.
It should also be noted that he received his copy of Uniform Traffic Citation
No. 032492 before being booked. The suspected methamphetamine was secured in
temporary evidence locker #l. Nothing additional to report at this time.

At 13:14 hours on 09/06/2023, a business in the 200 block of E. Ohio Avenue
reported having been the victim of a theft offense. A Sebring resident was
subsequently arrested on a charge of theft as a result.
At 13:14hours on 09/06/2023, a manager for Circle K (205 E. Ohio Avenue)
reported a shoplifting incident at the store. Upon arriving on location, in
speaking with the two managers, they informed me that a Tracy Sarchione, whom
they are familiar with, had been in the business several minutes prior, and that
she had failed to pay for a pack of Marlboro Black cigarettes, which were valued
at $6.35.
I was further advised that Tracy had been at the self checkout, deposited money
in the machine for the cigarettes and a polar pop, and that the machine rejected
the transaction for some reason, with it returning the money to her. Sarchione
then took the money back into her possession before leaving the store with both
the cigarettes, polar pop and the money.
Managers were able to provide me with security camera footage that did show the
incident occurring as they described it. I then asked if the store was willing
to pursue charges, with both managers saying that they did want this. It was
also conveyed to me that Sarchione has stolen items from the business before.
I then cleared from the store and went to 206 E. Oregon Avenue, where Sarchione
is known to live. Upon speaking with Sarchione, she said that she was not a
thief, with her initially denying having taken the cigarettes without paying for
them.
Sarchione then said that she had put $8.00 in the machine to pay for the item
and that it had returned $7.00. When I asked Sarchione if she had still left
with the cigarettes she said that she had and that she had not told any
employees of the business. Sarchione also provided me with the pack of
cigarettes that she had taken.
At this time I advised her that she was under arrest, with me placing her in
handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked.
Sarchione was then taken to the Sebring Police Station where she was
photographed, fingerprinted, and processed.
Sarchione was charged with one first-degree misdemeanor charge of theft (ORC:

informed of her mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 on

allowed at the business. Because of this a notice of restriction shall be
drafted and delivered.
All relevant photographs and footage were secured in the department photos
folder in the shared drive. The pack of cigarettes and dollar bill that
Sarchione did leave in the machine were placed in temporary evidence locker #2.
Nothing additional to report. Statement forms were provided to both managers.

not stop for the red light.
Mr. Adam Cook was traveling West bound on E. Ohio Ave in the intersection when
he was struck by Mrs. Tucker in the front of the vehicle. This caused Mrs.
Tuckers vehicle to strike Mr. Cook but also into a parked spectrum vehicle.
Mrs. Tucker was cited for the traffic control device and given a court date of
09/07/2023. Mrs. Tucker was explained the citation and released.
Mrs. Tucker's vehicle was towed to Springer's. Nothing further at this time.

176 E. Oregon Ave. Sebring, Ohio
CHARGE: ORC: 2913.02(A)(1) Theft (Petty)
At 15:32 hours on 09/02/2023, I was dispatched to Rocky's Drive-Thru (4 S. 15th
Street) for a report of a person who stole a bottle of beer.
Upon arriving on location, contact was made with the caller/complainant, who is
an employee of the establishment. In speaking with employee, she told me that
she observed a female subject, who she knows as Kelly, enter the business
through the exit lane and approach a cooler. Employee said that Kelly then left,
with her checking the area where she had been and finding a bottle removed from
a six-pack of Michelobe beer. Employee said that another patron, whom she knows
only as "" reported to her that Kelly had stolen the bottle before walking out.
In speaking further with Employee, she said that she knows Kelly. Due to this
information being given, I know Kelly to be Kelly Sweet, who resides in the 100
block of E. Oregon Avenue.
By this time Ptl. Brindack had already arrived at Sweet's residence, I cleared
the drive-thru and went to this location as well, with both of us knocking and
not receiving an answer at the door. I then went back to Rocky's, where I
provided a statement form to Employee. I also spoke with the owner who said that
he wanted to pursue charges.
Owner also said that he wanted a notice of restriction placed on Sweet.
After collecting the witness statement, I cleared from the Drive-thru, it should
also be noted that I did leave my department email address at the business, with
me instructing Rockwell to forward any video footage that he may have to me.
Nothing additional to report.

Brindack. Upon knocking on the door was answered.
Sweet then came to the door, with me asking her if she was at Rocky's Drive-Thru
earlier in the day. Sweet initially said that she had not been, but admitted
that she had when I told her that I would be obtaining security footage from the
business. I then asked Sweet if she had taken anything, with her again denying
that she had, but admitting that she stole a bottle of beer when I again
reminded her that I would be reviewing security footage.
I then advised Sweet that she was under arrest for theft. Sweet was then placed
in handcuffs, which were property spaced and double-locked, with her then being
secured in the back of car 302. Once back on station, I read Sweet her Miranda
Rights, which she said that she understood. Sweet also agreed to speak with me
regarding the incident. In the audio/video recorded squad room, Sweet admitted
to having stolen the beer, with her saying that is was only one and that she did

CHARGES:
2921.31 Obstructing Offical Business M-2
2921.33 Resisting Arrest M-2
2917.11 Disorderly w/Persistance
While Ptl. Brindack and I were conducting a foot patrol in the downtown area we
observed Edward Mills Jr. at a juvenile on a bicycle. Ptl. Brindack called for
Edward to come speak with us. When Edward approached us it was immediately
apparent that he was intoxicated due to his slurred speech, bloodshot glassy
eyes, and unable to keep his balance. Edward was also carrying a "tallboy"
Twisted Tea.
Ptl. Brindack asked Edward why he was yelling at the juvenile and he denied
doing anything wrong and began calling us racial slurs and cussing. Ptl.
Brindack advised Edward he probably should not drink his Twisted Tea due to his
already being highly intoxicated. Edward stated he would.
At this time both officers agreed Edward should be placed under arrest for
Disorderly Conduct w/Persistence due to him being told multiple times to stop
yelling and cussing. Edward was placed in handcuffs (gapped and double locked)
and escorted to the police station for processing.
Upon arrival at the station Ptl. Brindack and I began the proper paperwork to
book and release Edward on his own recognizance. While booking Edward he refused
to have his fingerprints taken and refused having his booking photo taken still
stating he did nothing wrong and that we were "assholes".
In the process of booking Edward, Ptl. Brindack had to go to dispatch to
retrieve paperwork. While Ptl. Brindack was in dispatch, I was completing
papework and could hear Edward muttering something and fidgeting around. I
looked over to find Edward had gotten one hand in between his legs in an attempt
to get his handcuffs in front of him. I stood up and asked what he was doing and
he stated he did nothing. I had Edward stand up so I could reapply his handcuffs
to the rear. When I released his hand he turned around and began grabbing at the
left side of my vest.
By this time Ptl. Brindack had come back to the squad room and helped me to
place Edward at a disadvantage so we could reapply the handcuffs. Edward then
began to complain of wrist pain. At this time EMS was requested to check his
wrist. Upon arrival EMS asked Edward what was wrong and he said he did not even
know what was going on. After being prompted by one of the EMS personnel he then
stated his wrist hurt and he believed it was broken. EMS assured him they did
not believe his wrist was broken but Edward stated he wanted to go to the
hospital to be checked out. Edward was then transported to Alliance Community
Hospital.
Ptl. Brindack rode in the ambulance with EMS due to Edwards non compliance.
After being cleared by the hospital Edward was then transported to Mahoning
County Justice Center to await arraignment for 1 charge of Disorderly Conduct w/Persistance
M-4, one count of Obstructing Official Business M-2, and one count of Resisting
Arrest M-2. Edward has a bond of $2500 with a mandatory court date set for
9/7/2023 at 0900hrs.

On this date while on patrol in marked unit 302 I was traveling N on N 12th St
near Pine Lake. I observed a Red Ford SUV traveling in front of me the same

line three times. On the third time I activated my overhead lights and initiated
a traffic stop on the vehicle which continued on N 12th and exited the Village

manner placed the vehicle in park and said "I guess I don't have that other
stuff'. I asked Stacy to turn off his vehicle and step out of the car, Stacy did
so however when he exited his vehicle he stumbled into the road. I asked Stacy
if he would conduct field sobriety with me and he said 'yes".
I INSTRUCTED Stacy to stand off the side of the road in front of both our
vehicles. I asked if he had any medical issues, eye problems, brain injuries,
leg issues, back problems, or any other issues and he said "No". I instructed
Stacy to place his feet together and put his arms straight down at his sides,
and place his hand like he was holding rolls of quarters.
Using the tip of my pen as a stimulus I began with a medical screening, I
observed Stacy had equal pupil size, equal tracking, and no resting nystagmus. I
then began the HGN Horizontal Gaze nystagmus test. During this test Stacy was
very off balance and moved his head multiple times, suddenly in the middle of

eyes, on set prior to 45 degrees in both eyes, and distinct and sustained
nystagmus in both eyes". I then asked Stacy if we would do the next test and he
said "no" Stacy refused any further tests and stated "l've had quite a bit". I
asked what he had been drinking and he said "Vodka". I then placed Stacy in

CHARGES:
2925.11 Possession of Controlled Substance
2925.14 Illegal Use or Possession of Controlled Substance
At 0027 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. 19th Street.
Upon approaching the maroon Toyota Corolla, bearing Ohio Registration, I 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 patdown 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 lightcolored
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 Depl. 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:OO on 04-1 8-2022. Sebring Tire then arrived and towed his vehicle, with both
Ptl. Rhome and I clearlng 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.

At 22:13 hours on 07/28/2023, a traffic stop in the 300 block of N. 15th Street
resulted in the discovery of drug paraphernalia. The driver of the vehicle was
charged with Illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia as well as an
equipment violation.
Officer REED
At 22:13 hours on 07/28/23, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit
304. While sitting in the rear parking lot of The Concern Thrift Shop, located
at 125 W. Ohio Avenue, I observed a white Ford with an extremely loud exhaust
that was traveling eastbound on W. Oregon Avenue. As the vehicle traveled
through the downtown district, the sound resonated off of the buildings in a
disruptive manner. It should also be noted that the vehicle had just prior to
this been parked in front of a residence in the 100 block of W. Oregon Avenue
for approximately 20 minutes with the engine running. The vehicle then turned
left on N. 15th Street. At this time, I positioned my patrol car behind the
subject vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The white Ford Escape, bearing
Ohio Registration JTX 2903, came to a complete stop in the 300 block of N. 15th
Street.
Upon approaching the vehicle, I informed the driver, who I know from prior
encounters to be Linda Stuller, of the reason for the traffic stop. Stuller
informed me that she had tried having her exhaust fixed several times but still
had issues with it. She then produced an Ohio Driver License, with me returning
to the area of my patrol car and relaying Stuller's information to dispatch. At
this time, I also asked Stuller to exit her vehicle and speak with me.
In speaking with Stuller, she told me that she had been at the residence In the
100 block of W. Oregon Avenue to pick her juvenile son up from a friend's house.
It should be noted that Stuller was the only occupant of the vehicle at the time
of the stop. When I asked Stuller for consent to search her vehicle, she
immediately became hostile, with her making statements about continually being
stopped by police and having her vehicle searched. I explained to Stuller that I
was only aware of the single time that I had stopped her several months back and
not the actions of other officers or agencies. I also informed her that I would
be calling for a K9 to do an open-air sniff of the vehicle. Officer Brindack and
Ptl Demske arrived on location at approximately this time.
I then returned to my patrol car where asked dispatch check with area agencies
for an available Kg. I also began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032428.
I cited Stuller for loud exhaust (SCO: 337.20). During the time that I was
writing the citation, I was informed by dispatch that Alliance Police Department
was sending a K9 to my location, with K9 Officer Paloui and Kg, Xander, arriving
just prior to my finishing the citation.
Officer Palozzi then walked K9 Xander around the vehicle, with Officer Palozzi
informing me that K9 Xander did indicate to the odor of drugs coming from the
vehicle. Ptl. Demski and I then began a probable cause search of the vehicle,
with a blue plastic straw, cut to a length of approximately 3" being located in
the driver side door compartment. Based upon my training and experience, straws
cut to this length and store in this fashion are generally used to ingest
illicit drugs. As I continued searching the vehicle, I located an opaque-colored
plastic baggie inside of an empty cigarette pack that was in Stuller's purse.
The purse had been sitting on the front passenger seat. This plastic baggie
contained a light-colored crystalline substance, which appeared to me to be
methamphetamine. In going further with the search, numerous torch lighters were
located inside of the purse, this furthering such suspicion of the nature of the
substance inside of the baggie.
Two glass "bowls" and a baggie containing a green-colored vegetative substance
were also located. No additional contraband was located by the conclusion of the
vehicle search.
I then asked Ptl. Brindack to conduct a test of the substance inside of the
plastic baggie that I located in Stuller's purse.
The residue did test positive to be methamphetamine. Because the cut straw being
located in conjunction with such substance, I informed Stuller that I would be
serving her with a summons for Illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia (ORC:
2925.14). This being a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
Stuller also signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised that she would
either need to pay the citation or personally appear on Thursday, August 10,
2023 at 09:00 hours. It was made explicitly clear to Stuller that if she failed
to pay the citation or show up to court on that specific date and time, a
warrant may be issued for her arrest.
Stuller was also again informed that she would be receiving a summons at some
point in the next several days for the charge of Illegal use or possession of
drug paraphernalia.
Stuller was then released from the scene. All collected evidence was given to
Ptl. Russell, the departments evidence officer. Nothing additional to report at
this time.

CHARGES:
ORC 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension
ORC 4511.12 Obedience to Traffic Control Devices
At 17:55 hours on 07/04/2023,I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit
303. While patrolling southbound on S. Johnson Road approaching Lake Park
Boulevard, I observed a black GMC Envoy pass through this intersection without
stopping for the clearly visible stop sign. Based upon my training and
experience, the vehicle appeared to be going approximately 15-17 MPH when it
went through the intersection, with my patrol car coming to within approximately
45' of the vehicle.
I immediately turned my patrol car round, activated the overhead emergency
lights, and initiated a traffic stop. The black Envoy bearing Ohio Registration
TB 5480 came to a stop on S. Johnson Road near the intersection of W. New York
Avenue.
Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver, who immediately
disclosed that he did not have a driver license or any other form of
identification on him for that matter. The driver was also unable to provide me
with proof of insurance. The driver however did tell me that his name was Drakco
Edwards and that his birthday was March 30, 1981. He also provided me with his
social security number.
I then returned to my patrol car where I relayed Mr. Edwards's information to
dispatch. At this time, it was confirmed that he was under a license forfeiture
suspension. Ptl. Brindack then arrived to my location. I began drafting Uniform
Traffic Citation No. 032425, with me citing Mr. Edwards for obedience to traffic
control devices (ORC: 4511.12) as well as driving under suspension (ORC:
4510.11). Mr. Edwards also consented to a search of the vehicle, with no weapons
or contraband being located. He then signed the citation, was given his copy,
and advised of his mandatory appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 08:30 on
Thursday, July 06, 2023.
The vehicle's registered owner then arrived on location and denied knowledge of
the drivers' license being suspended. I explained to her that future instances
of his being found driving her vehicle while his license was suspended could
result in her being cited for wrongful entrustment. She was allowed to drive the
vehicle from the scene in lieu of it being towed. Both units then cleared from
the stop.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

CHARGE:
Other Agency Warrant (Portage Cty S.O.)(Theft F-5)
Narrative Date 06/26/2023 14:47 Det. Andrew Reed
At 13:32 hours on 06/26/2023, a traffic stop was conducted in the area of the
100 block of E. Ohio Avenue. The driver was found to have an active felony
warrant through Portage County Sheriff's Office and was subsequently taken into
custody as a result.
At 13:30hours on 06/26/2023, I was sitting stationary in the area of the 300
block of N. 12th Street when I observed a Silver Pontiac G6 traveling westbound
on E. Ohio Avenue. The vehicle's exhaust was extremely loud. I pulled out from
my location, with several other vehicles getting between the subject vehicle and
I in this timeframe. I then observed the silver G6 pull into the parking lot of
the Huntington Bank Building (146 E. Ohio Avenue), with a male passenger exiting
and going into the business. Due to my not wanting to disrupt the business by
doing a traffic stop in their parking lot, I instead drove by the vehicle, this
being after I relayed the vehicle's registration to dispatch. The registration
returned to a silver 2008 Pontiac G6 belonging to a Cassidy Yost, of Beloit.
Yost showed to have an active felony warrant through Portage County.
I then went to the parking lot of the police station where I had a clear view of
the vehicle, with the vehicle then pulling out of the parking spot and turning
left (eastbound) in the alley way behind the business.
At this time I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and
initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came an almost immediate stop, with me
then approaching and making contact with the driver. The driver informed me that
the vehicle was registered to her and that her name was Cassidy Yost. At this
time I asked her to turn the engine off and remove the keys from the ignition.
Cassidy did so, with me informing her of her warrant and asking her to step out
of the vehicle.
Cassidy again complied, with her then handing me her Ohio Driver License. I also
at this time spoke with the adult male passenger in the front seat, with him
providing me with an Ohio Identification Card. He was found to have no active
warrants for his arrest but also did not have a valid driver license. Because of
this I instructed Cassidy to contact the mother of the two toddler age children
in the backseat of the vehicle. It should be noted that at this time contact was
made with her informing me that if I was taking Cassidy into custody, that it
was okay for her children to be left with male passenger while she made the
drive to pick them up.
Cassidy's brother also agreed to come pick the vehicle up, with it being parked
in the overflow parking lot belonging to Huntington Bank at this time.
Huntington did give me permission to allow the vehicle on their property for
this time.
It was then confirmed through Portage County that they would be taking custody
of Cassidy. Their agency also agreed to come to pick her up at the Sebring
Police Station. I then placed Cassidy in handcuffs, which were properly spaced
and double-locked, before securing her in the back of car #304. Cassidy was then
transported the the Sebring Police Station, with a deputy from Portage County
arriving approximately 30 minutes later to take custody of her.
I then cleared from the call. Nothing additional to report at this time.

Violence instruction form before leaving.
Upon arriving back at the police station, I spoke with Prosecutor Van Brocklin
regarding this case. I was instructed to go forth with two separate counts of
domestic violence (ORC: 2919.25(A)) as well as on count of felonious assault
(ORC:2903.11(A)(1)). The

approximately one week prior where James allegedly burned the victim with the
dab pen and the second domestic violence charge being from the incident the
evening prior where James allegedly struck victim in the face. Warrants were
then drafted and secured through Mahoning County Court #3.
Once warrants were obtained, Pt. Melendez, Chief Harris, and I went to
Schreckengost's residence. Ptl. Melendez and I approached the front door, where
I was able to see James through the screen door. Pt. Melendez and I then took
James into custody, with a back containing a light-colored crystallin substances
being located in his right shorts pocket during a search incident to arrest.
This substance was field tested by Ptl. Melendez, with it showing to be
methamphetamine. The total weight of this being found to be 1 grams. Because of

refused, I advised him he was being detained and he still remained in bed. On

any suicidal or homicidal indications to EMS and refused to be taken to the
hospital. Victims both agreed to sign DV complaints. Ronald was arrested and

vehicle from the driver side and began speaking with Mr. Barker. Just as
dispatch relayed that he had an active warrant for his arrest through Stark
County with warnings for violent tendencies.
Upon hearing this radio traffic, I exited my patrol car and ordered Mr. Barker
from the vehicle. Mr. Barker then placed the vehicle in drive, and began
traveling westbound on W. Oregon Avenue at speeds of approximately 60 Miles per
hour. During this time my patrol car's overhead emergency lights were active as
was my audible siren.
Mr. Barker then stopped the vehicle at a lot in the 800 block of W. Oregon
Avenue before fleeing on foot. I then began pursuing him on foot as well, with
him going through a thick patch of thorn bushes. I repeatedly told Mr. Barker to
stop at this time and ordered him to show me his hands. Barker continued
running, with him yelling "Fuck you, shoot me".
During this time, I sustained several deep scratches to my face and left arm as
went through the brush in pursuit of Barker.
Upon exiting the thorn bush thicket, I observed Mr. Barker trip and fall. Barker
began getting up in an attempt to keep running, with me discharging my
department issued taser into him at this time. Both probes appeared to have
connected with Mr. Barker tensing up. At this time, I secured Barker in
handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked.
Pt. Melendez arrived to my location at this time, with the two of us walking Mr.
Barker back to my patrol car after searching him incident to arrest. No weapons
of contraband were located on Mr. Barkers person at this time. He was then
secured in the back of car #304.
An administrative inventory of the vehicle was completed due to it needing to be
towed from the location. This search located a glass "ballpipe" with residue of
a burned milky substance inside as well as a light-colored crystalline substance
inside of a case for eyeglasses.
Based upon my training and experience, this substance appeared to be
methamphetamine. Due to Mr. Barker having been tasered, Sebring Fire/EMS was
called to assess him. After being assessed, I was advised by Paramedics that Mr.
Barker would need to be transported to the hospital per protocol.
During this time Sebring Tire arrived on scene and towed the vehicle from the
location. I also read Mr. Barker his Miranda Rights. Sebring Fire/EMS then
transported Barker to Aultman Alliance Community Hospital for treatment. Pt.
Melendez followed.
It should also be noted that Barker sustained at least one deep laceration to
his face as a result of his running through the thorn bushes.
After Sebring Fire/EMS cleared from the scene with Mr. Barker, I went to the
encampment at the lot where he had abandoned his vehicle and spoke with a
subject who Mr. Barker said was his friend. Prior to departing with Sebring
Fire/EMS, Mr. Barker asked me to tell the subject that he was going to jail, so
that subject could care for his dog while he was there. After relaying this
information, I cleared from the area.
Once back on station I began processing paperwork and evidence so that Mr.
Barker could be transported to Jail upon his discharge from the hospital. Mr.
Barker was charged with Possession of controlled substances (ORC: 2925.11), for
the methamphetamine that later field tested positive to be such, Ilegal
use/possession of drug paraphernalia (ORC: 2925.14)for possession the glass
"ball pipe", failure to comply with the order/signal of a police
officer(ORC:2921.311(B)) for fleeing from the traffic stop and eluding officers
in a motor vehicle, Obstructing official business (ORC: 2921.31), for running on
foot, as well as operating an unsafe vehicle. This being for the shattered
windshield that was the initial reason for the stop.
It should be noted that the charge of obstructing official business was elevated
to a fifth-degree felony. This being due to my receiving lacerations to my arms
and face while pursuing him through the thorn bush thicket.
Once Mr. Barker was released from the hospital, he was transported back to the
Sebring Police Station by Pt. Melendez.
At this time, Barker was provided his copy of the traffic citation for the
offense of operating an unsafe vehicle. Barker was photographed and processed
for commitment to jail. Ptl. Melendez then transported him the the Mahoning
County Justice Center.
Nothing additional to report at this time.
Det. Reed #508
On 13June23 I (Ptl. Melendez) while on patrol heard Det. Reed call out over the
radio that he was on a Traffic stop in the 700 Block of West Oregon Ave. After
hearing Det. Reed give out his location I then made my way over to provide
assistance. Once making contact with Det. Reed I was asked to standby with a
male later identified as Christopher Barker since he was making suspicious
movements around in the car prior to the stop. I then walked over and began to
speak with Barker, shortly after walking over to the vehicle dispatch advised
that barker had a felony warrant out of Stark County Sheriff's Office with
cautions stating that he was Armed and Dangerous.
I then stepped back and began to draw my department issued fire arm from my
holster and I advised Barker to Exit the vehicle with his hands up and that is
when he looked at me and said "Fuck you" and he placed the vehicle in drive and
he began to drive away at a high rate of speed.
After observing the direction that barker was heading remembered from a previous
incident that there was only one way out onto the main road which was a driveway
at 895 W Ohio Ave. I then got in my marked patrol vehicle 302 and proceeded to
that location in an attempt to cut him off. As I was pulling up to 895W Ohio Det.
Reed advised over the radio that Barker had exited the vehicle and was on foot.
I then began to run to Det, Reeds location and Reed advised that he had deployed
his Department issued taser and he had barker in custody.
Once I arrived to Det. Reeds location we then assisted Barker with standing up
and he was then escorted to Reeds marked patrol unit 304. After securing Barker
in the back of 304 myself and Reed began an inventory search prior to Sebring
Tire arriving and a blue sunglasses case was found in the center console and
upon opening it a Glass pipe with a white film was found along with a small bag
of methamphetamine.
Shortly after Sebring fire arrived to conduct an evaluation on Barker since he
was hit with the taser and Sebring tire arrived to tow the vehicle. Once Sebring
Fire was ready to clear the scene I was advised that Barker needed to go to the
hospital for the cuts he had on his face from falling prior to the taser
deployment. Barker was transported to Alliance Community hospital where he was
evaluated and checked by a doctor and released. I then transported Barker back
to the Sebring Police Department and photos were taken and I obtained the
documentation for the Jail. A field test was conducted and a positive detection
was made for methamphetamine.
I then transported Barker to the Mahoning County Jail on his charges, Nothing
else to report at this time.

Narrative Date 03/02/2023 16:07 Officer Andrew Reed
At 12:17 hours on 03/02/2023, I was dispatched to a report of two male subjects
attempting to gain entry to vehicles at a business in the 200 block of E. Ohio
Avenue. Upon arriving to the area. I was informed that a vehicle had been stolen
from the parking lot.
At 12:17 hours on 03/02/2023, I responded to Circle K, located at 205 E. Ohio
Avenue, for a report of two male subjects entering vehicles that were in the
business's parking lot. The caller/complainant advised that one of the subjects
was wearing a tan Carhartt coat with blue jeans, and other was wearing a black
hoodie. I immediately proceeded to this location, where I began looking for the
two subjects.
While at the intersection of N. 14th Street and E. Ohio Avenue, I was approached
by --------- and ----------. It should be noted that I know --------- to be an
employee of Circle K. I was informed by the two that Mrs. ---------- vehicle, a
red 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, had been stolen from the parking lot of the store by
the two men who the call was in reference to. A male subject at the gas pumps
said that they went eastbound on E. Ohio Avenue. --------- also at this time
told me that she was the vehicle's registered owner.
I informed ----------- that I would return to speak with her, before going
eastbound on E. Ohio in an attempt to locate the vehicle.
While near the S curve in Beloit, I was advised via radio by Ptl. Ryan Smith, of
Smith Township Police Department, that he was behind the vehicle at the
intersection of N. Johnson Road and W. Ohio Avenue. Ptl. Smith attempted to
initiate a traffic stop at this time, with the vehicle fleeing. Immediately
before attempting to initiate the stop, Ptl. Smith advised that he could see two
male occupants inside of the vehicle. Ptl. Smith began pursuing the vehicle,
with Chief Harris and I joining, along with Chief Ceresna of Smith Township. The
pursuit continued westbound on Alliance- Sebring Road with Ptl. Smith advising
that he was going in excess of 90 MPH as he began entering the City of Alliance.
Due to a risk of serious injury or death to members of the public, Ptl. Smith
opted to terminated the pursuit.
I then returned to Circle K where I again met with Mrs. -----------. In speaking
further with Mrs. ---------, she said that she left her keys on the floorboard
of her vehicle while she went inside of the business, and that she came out to
find her vehicle gone. Mrs. --------- signed an auto-theft report form while
----------- pulled security footage from the store.
Upon review of the footage, I observed two white males, one wearing a tan
Carhartt with blue jeans, and the other wearing dark pants and a dark hoodie,
approach Mrs. Hawkins's Cruze. The subject wearing the tan Carhartt got in the
driver seat while the other subject, who had what appeared to be a a plastic
bottle containing a red beverage in his hand, jumped into the vehicle through
the passenger side window. The vehicle then pulled out of the parking lot and
proceeded eastbound on E. Ohio Avenue at what appeared to be a high rate of
speed. I then provided Mrs. --------- with a voluntary witness statement that
she said that she would complete. I was also informed by Mrs. --------- that her
purse, credit cards, and approximately $500.00 in cash was inside of her
vehicle.
Approximately 30 minutes later, I was advised by dispatch that deputies with the
Stark County Sheriffs Office had located the vehicle at a Speedway gas station,
located at 3315 Mahoning Road NE, Canton, Ohio. Located in the driver seat of
the vehicle by deputies of this agency, was a Gary D. Powell. Upon making
contact with Dep. Robinson, of the Stark County Sheriffs office, he was able to
provide me with Mr. Powell's information, including his Driver License Number
and date of birth. After searching OHleg for Mr. Powell and locating his image
provided by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, I was able to positively identify him
as being the subject who was seen in the security footage at Circle K stealing
the vehicle at Circle K. Dep. Robinson said that the other subject had been in
the store at the time he made contact with Powell, and that he was able to get
away.
I was also informed that Powell had numerous warrants for his arrest and that he
was going to be booked into he Stark County Jail on these. Dep. Robinson said
that the vehicle appeared to be drivable, but was suspected of possibly being
involved in a hit/skip accident in Stark County. Dep. Robinson agreed to secure
the vehicle and give the keys to employees at the gas station so that Mrs.
----------- could come over to pick it up. It should also be noted that after
speaking with Dep. Robinson, Courtney, of the N. Canton Post of the Ohio State
Highway Patrol, called to advise that the vehicle was involved in a hit-skip on
U.S. 30 westbound. I advised their agency of the situation and that Powell would
be booked into the Stark County Jail.
I then made contact with Mrs. --------- and informed her of the arrest and of
where her car was. Due to Mrs. ------------ being unfamiliar with the City of
Canton and her not having a ride available to get her to her car, it was agreed
upon by Chief Harris and I that I would provide her a ride to the location of
the vehicle so that she could pick it up and so that I could process the vehicle
for additional evidence. I then picked Mrs. ----------- up at her residence and
gave her a ride to the location of her vehicle. Prior to allowing Mrs.
-------------- access, I photographed the vehicle, noting damage to the front
driver side bumper as well as passenger side rocker panel. This damage was fresh
according to Mrs. -------------. Mrs. ------------- also noted a bottle of
Mountain Dew Code Red in the front passenger seat as well as a yellow cigarette
lighter in the center console of the car that she said did not belong to her.
The bottle of Mountain Dew appeared to be the same as the one that the male
subject who was seen in the security footage from Circle K getting into the
vehicle's passenger seat had in his hands. Because of these items being foreign
to the scene and the likelihood of them containing DNA , they were collected as
evidence. I placed each item in a separate paper bag so as to prevent cross
contamination. Mrs. ------------ was then allowed access to her car, with her
showing me two Mastercards and a Visa card that were in the vehicle at the time
that it was stolen as well as approximately $550.00 in cash. These items were
photographed. Mrs. ---------- also provided me with a voluntary witness
statement at this this time.
I then released the vehicle to Mrs. -----------, with her signing the release
section of the auto-theft form. While enroute back to Sebring, I briefly spoke
with Mrs. ----------- at a stoplight in Alliance. Mrs. --------- advised me that
her vehicle was running very poorly since it had been taken and she planned on
taking it to a dealership to have it looked over. I instructed her to forward
any receipts to my department email.
Upon arriving back in Sebring, I returned to Circle K, where I again met with
-----------------, the stores manager.
------------ was able to provide me with a DVD containing security footage of
the incident. Upon further review, I was able to observe Powell approach several
vehicles in the parking lot and look through them. At one point he opened the
door of a green jeep before closing it and walking away. This footage also
showed the theft of Mrs. -------------'s vehicle. This DVD shall be placed in
the case file. All photographs taken of the vehicle and evidence were saved in
the department photos folder on the shared drive with the corresponding case
number.
A warrant for the arrest of Powell was also secured through Mahoning County
Court #3 by Chief Harris. This warrant being for one fourth-degree felony charge
of theft (Motor-Vehicle). Additional charges for theft of the contents of the
vehicle shall also be filed.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

Det. Reed Narrative (Cody Powell Arrested)
At approximately 16:00 hours on 03/17/2023, I was patrolling in the area of the
400 block of E. Ohio Avenue. As I drove past 437 E. Ohio, I noted that there was
a white Toyota in the driveway that appeared to be occupied. Due to my having
issued a felony warrant for Cody A. Powell, a resident of this location, I
pulled next to the vehicle. observing a young male, approximately 10-years-old
standing outside. It should also be noted that at this time I did confirm the
warrants through dispatch. I then asked the boy who was standing near the white
Toyota if Cody was at the house, with him saying that he was. The child then
went to the front door, with him opening it. Who I knew to be Cody Powell was
plainly visible inside the home as the boy did this.
I then asked Cody to come out and speak with me. Cody stepped out, with me
informing him of the active warrants for his arrest. I then secured Cody in
handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked. Due to their being
young children in the residence, I conducted a search of Cody, and then walked
him back inside so as to ensure that the children were not left unsupervised. I
also read Cody his Miranda Rights, which he said that he understood and with him
also agreeing to speak with me. When I asked Cody what had happened. he
reiterated what he had told me during out earlier phone conversation. Cody then
made a phone call to ----------------, who agreed to come and take the Children.
Ptl. Melendez was also called at this time so that an officer could be present
in the village while I transported Cody to jail.
Several minutes later, an unidentified male subject in a blue Dodge Ram arrived
on location. Cody told me that the subject was the father of two of the children
that were inside of the residence. The male then took his children from the
home, with Ptl. Melendez arriving a short time after along with ---------------.
Once all the children were safely with adults, I transported Cody to the Sebring
Police Station. Cody was photographed, given his copy of the warrants, and
transported to the Mahoning County Jail without incident by this officer.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

N. 15th St / Virginia Ave. Sebring, OH
ARREST: Brian Amon, 52
15098 S. State St. Middlefield, OH
CHARGES:
ORC: 2925. l l Possession of Controlled Substances (Bulk Meth) F3
ORC: 2925.14 Illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia X2
At 09:08 hours on 04/03/2023, officers responded to a disturbance call at a
residence in the 500 block of N. 15th Street. A male subject was subsequently
arrested after a bulk amount of methamphetamine was located in his possession as
well as drug related paraphernalia.
At 09:08hours on 04/03/2023, I responded to a report of a disturbance at 545 N.
15th Street. A ---------------- informed dispatch that a Brian Amon was at the
residence demanding property belonging to his wife, -----, who he is known to be
in the process of divorcing. ------------- said that ----- ----- had moved from
the property and forfeited all possessions that she left behind.
I immediately proceeded to this location, observing who I know to be Brian Amon
and ----------- sitting inside of a black Ford F-150 that was in front of the
residence. Upon observing the two, I activated my patrol car's overhead
emergency lights, parking in front of the truck, and made contact with Brian. In
speaking with Brian, I informed him of the complaint that had been received.
Brian said that he was there to get his property, and readily acknowledged that
he and ----- were in the process of divorcing and that she had moved from the
residence.
Due to Brian being known to carry knives, I asked for and received consent to
conduct a pat-down of his person. Brian informed me that he had several knives
on his person, with me locating four, with two having blade lengths in excess of
4". I did remove these items from Brian's person and informed him that I would
secure them at my patrol car for the duration of our encounter. Ptl. Melendez
and Chief Harris also arrived to my location at this time. In addition to this,
I was advised by dispatch that Brian was believed to have taken a porch swing
from the residence and placed it in the bed of this truck. This being per the
caller/complainant. It should however be noted that Brian denied this, no porch
swing was present in the bed of his truck, and the one on the porch appeared to
have not been tampered with. At this time I instructed Brian to stay with Chief
Harris and Ptl. Melendez while I went to speak with the occupants of the home.
Brian informed me that a -------------, the property owners mother, lived in the
upstairs portion of the residence and that was who he had spoken to upon his
arrival.
I then went and made contact with ---------, and informed me that Brian had came
to the residence demanding property that he said belonged to him that had been
left by -----. --------- then put her daughter on the phone, ----------------,
who informed me that she did not want Brian at the residence and that --- had
openly and freely forfeited the property that she had left at the residence, and
that this was on record with Mahoning County Court #3.
In addition to this, ---------- said that ----- had not paid rent in over three
months and that she had been formally evicted, which was the reason that she had
moved. After confirming with both --------- and her mother that neither party
wanted Amon at the residence, I went back outside to advise Amon of this.
In speaking with Brian, he agreed not to return to the residence. As I spoke
with Brian regarding the matter, I noted that he appeared flighty and agitated.
During past experiences with Brian and his wife, ------, I knew them to have
been involved in drug activity. Because of this I asked Brian for consent to
search his vehicle. Brian granted me consent, with me then directing him to the
rear of the vehicle with Chief Harris. It should be noted that from this point,
Brian was within sight and sound of the cab of the truck, and was able to easily
revoke consent it he chose to. While searching the center console of the truck,
I located a black nylon bag. Inside of this bag I located a glass "ball pipe"
which did have burn marks and the residue of a white substance inside. I then
confronted Brian with this, with him saying that he did not know who the pipe
belonged to. Brian was then secured in handcuffs by Pt. Melendez, with me
informing dispatch that the search was now a probable cause search. Both Brian
and ------- had their Miranda rights read to them at this time.
In going further, I located a plastic baggy that contained a light-colored,
crystalline substance, two orange straws that were cut to approximately 3" long,
as well as five empty plastic baggies that contained the residue of a
light-colored crystalline substance. It should be noted that the straws did have
residue of a white-powdery substance inside of them. Several "torch" type
lighters were also found inside of this nylon bag. The nexus of these items
being that they are all consistent with the use of methamphetamine. Prior to
collection, these items were placed on the hood of the truck and photographed.
After completing the search of the vehicle, I informed Brian that he was under
arrest for possession of drug abuse instruments for possessing the ball pipe and
straws. In addition to this, I informed him that the suspected methamphetamine
would be field tested and that should it show to in fact be methamphetamine, he
would be charges accordingly.
Sebring Tire was called to the scene to to the vehicle. An administrative
inventory sheet was completed, with nothing of value being located inside of the
truck. Once Sebring Tire arrived, the truck was towed, with Pt. Melendez
transporting Brian to the police station. Once on station, I weighed the
suspected methamphetamine, with it being noted that it showed a weight of
exactly 4 grams using the department's scale. The substance was then field
tested by Ptl. Melendez, with it being confirmed that it was in fact
methamphatmine, a schedule II controlled substance. Because of this, Brian was
charged with possession of controlled substances (ORC: 2925.11). Due to the
weight excessing the bulk amount of 3grams, this charge was elevated to a
third-degree felony. Brian was also charged with two (2) counts of Illegal use
and/or possession of drug paraphernalia (ORC: 2925.14). This being for
possessing the cut straws and ball pipe. Both counts being fourth-degree
misdemeanors.
Brian was then photographed and processed. Once the necessary paperwork was
completed, I transported him to the Mahoning County Jail without incident. It
should be noted that all photographs pertinent to the arrest shall be saved in
the shared drive, under department photos, and labeled with the corresponding
case number.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

did not state to me that he was told to not have contact with Victim. I met with
John at the residence, and he made contact with Victim. At that point I observed
Victim to become distressed, and she informed me that Perry Township had already
advised John to stop contact with her. She also advised me that she had made a
report through Sebring relating John. John kept telling Victim that he wanted to
speak to her, and she refused. Victim stated that John has been using other
people's phones to contact her, and will not leave her alone. At that time I
ordered John to leave, and he complied.
Upon him leaving, Victim explained the situation to me regarding John. Since the

ARREST: Caleb Kaiser, 26

ORC: 2925.11 Possession of Controlled Substances(F-3) Bulk Meth
Date 03/26/2023 @ 1724hrs
Officer Reed
At 11:08 hours on 03/26/2023, I received an email containing video footage of a
person who I knew to be Caleb Kaiser, a person who I know to have been convicted
of violent felonies, carrying what appeared to be an AR variant rifle through a
driveway leading to his residence. This email was from a -------------- who
resides at -------------. The video footage was clear, with it being plainly
obvious that there was not a visible orange tip on the suspected weapon.
The time was stamped at 07:26 hours with the date showing to be 03/26/2023.
After contacting ------------ via phone and confirming that the date and time
were correct, I notified Chief Harris as well as Prosecutor Van Brocklin. I was
also able to confirm that Kaiser had convictions for violent felony offenses
including felonious assault, having weapons under disability, and aggravated
arson. These charges were accrued between 2016 and 2019. This being found by
accessing Kaiser's Computerized Criminal History (CCH) on the Ohio Law
Enforcement Gateway. It should also be noted that earlier in the morning, three
subjects came to Caleb Kaiser's residence, attempted to force entry, and fired
rounds into the structure while it was occupied.
After discussing the matter with Chief Harris and Prosecutor Van Brocklin, it
was decided that obtaining a search warrant for the residence was the best
course of action to take. Contact was then made with Staff from Mahoning County
Court#3, who in turn forwarded me to Judge Molly Johnson, of Mahoning County
Court #5 (Canfield Court). This being because Judge Schiavoni of Mahoning County
Court# 3 (Sebring Court) was out of town and unavailable. I advised Judge
Johnson of the facts and circumstances surrounding the case, with her agreeing
to meet with me at her residence in Canfield so that a search warrant could be
obtained. Upon meeting with Judge Johnson, I provided her with a flash drive
containing the video of Kaiser with the suspected firearm, as well as a copy of
his CCH. Judge Johnson then signed a daytime search warrant and affidavit for
the residence. Johnson also provided me with contact information for Parole
Officer Jeff Kaschak, who was found to have been assigned to oversee Kasier
since his release from prison.
After clearing from Johnson's residence, I made contact with Parole Officer
Kaschak. I informed P.O. Kaschak of what had transpired, with him advising that
he would meet with me at the Sebring Police Department for the execution of the
search warrant. Once I was back on station, I met with Ptl. Brindack, Ptl.
Demski, Ptl. Russell, Det. Ray, and Parole Officer Kaschak. We then proceeded to
136 1/2 S. Johnson Road where we executed the search warrant.
Upon arriving at the residence, we encountered Caleb Kaiser's mother, Gail
Kaiser, in the front yard. I advised Gail of the search warrant, with her
telling me that Caleb was inside of the residence and that he was sleeping. Upon
entering the home, Ptl. Brindack and I located Caleb in a make shift bedroom on
the first floor. yelled and shook Caleb in an attempt to awaken him, with him
refusing to acknowledge my presence. This being despite it appearing obvious
that he was awake. I then attempted to secure Caleb's hands, with him moving his
body in an attempt to prevent me from doing so. I continued to announce my
presence, loudly saying "POLICE" as well as shook Caleb. Due to it being obvious
that he was awake, and the fact that on no less than three occasions did he pull
away from me, with him hiding his hands from view. I advised Ptl. Brindack to
drive stun him with his department issued taser. This while I was actively
attempting to secure his hands and he was pulling away. Ptl. Brindack then drive
stunned Caleb once on his lower back, with him immediately complying with my
orders. I then secured Caleb's hands in handcuffs, which were properly spaced
and double-locked. I then walked Caleb outside where he was advised of the
reasons for the search warrant.
Kaiser immediately said that it was only a BB gun that he had and that it was
upstairs. Upon returning to the inside of the house, I went to the upstairs
bedroom where I located Pt. Russell and Det. Ray. At this time I observed an
AR-15 clone BB gun in between two upstairs bedrooms. The rifle, although a BB
gun, had the orange tip painted over and appeared to me identical to an AR-15
rifle in appearance and function. I was also at this time advised by Det. Ray
that he had located suspected methamphetamine in an area of plain view in an
upstairs bedroom. Due to it being undetermined if in fact Caleb was telling the
truth and the BB gun that was upstairs was what he had been seen carrying
earlier in the morning, units continued searching to be sure that there were no
additional weapons. During this time, rolled up fake money with a residue of a
powder substance around it and on it was located by Det. Ray. This being in
plain view and in the immediate area where Kaiser had been located. This powder
appeared to be methamphetamine based upon my training and I then went outside
where I spoke with both Caleb and Gail, advising of Miranda Rights. Both Caleb
and his mother were cooperative, with Gail informing me that the methamphetamine
that was located in the bedroom belonged to a Derek Ball.
Consent was also later received from Caleb to search the remainder of the
residence for methamphetamine, with him telling me that he struggles with
addiction. In going further with the search, Det. Ray was able to find a light
colored crystalline substance in the area where Caleb had been sleeping. This
again being in the area under his immediate control at the time we located him.
I also located numerous scales, packaging material, and spoons. These items,
based upon my training and experience, are used to measure drugs when found in
conjunction with such items that were also located in this area. An Ohio ID card
belong to Caleb was located as well. These items were photographed and
collected.
A dark colored substance was also found in a plastic baggie by Det. Ray. This
substance as well as the crystal substance was field tested by Ptl. Brindack,
with it showing to be methamphetamine. It should also be noted that during the
time the search was being completed, Caleb was near enough to the front door of
the residence that at any point he could have revoked consent. An officer
equipped with a radio was also watching him at all times, with him being able to
relay his wishes to revoke consent if he wanted to do so. Caleb instead
threatened officers, making comments about harming officers to PlI. Brindack.
Contact was made with Prosecutor Van Brocklin who advised to go forth with
charges of trafficking in drugs (ORC:2925.03) as well as possession of
controlled substances (ORC: 2925.11). Kaiser was then transported to the Sebring
Police Station where the necessary paperwork for commitment to jail on these
charges was completed. Prior to leaving the scene, a copy of the warrant and
inventory sheet of seized items was left with Caleb Kaiser's girlfriend.
The total weight of the seized methamphetamine was found to be at 3grams. This
being a bulk amount and elevating the charge of possession of controlled
substances to a third-degree felony from a fifth-degree felony.
While on station, Caleb admitted that he knew who had shot into his residence
earlier in the morning, with him refusing to tell me any further information
that would help me solve the case and ensure the safety of his mother,
girlfriend, and unborn child. Caleb however did say that if anyone harmed his
mother, his girlfriend, or their unborn child I would be arresting him for more
serious charges in the future, as well as making statements about obtaining
fully automatic weapons and bragging about his violent criminal history. Caleb
also at one point challenged Det. Ray to a fight.
Once all paperwork was completed, Caleb was transported to the Mahoning County
Justice Center by Pt. Russell. All evidence processing was handled by Det. Ray.
It should also be noted that the BB gun, due to being a projectile weapon and
having been tampered with, was also seized from the home. The warrant, a return,
and inventory sheet was included in the case file for a return to Mahoning
County Court #5.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

457 Fenton Ave. NE, Canton, OH
Charges:
ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (Non- Compliance) M-1
ORC: 4513.22 Loud Exhaust (MM)
At 21:21 hours on 02/17/2023, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While stationary along the roadside at the intersection of N. Johnson
Road and W. Ohio Avenue, I observed a light blue Toyota Yaris approached the
intersection as it traveled westbound on Ohio Avenue. The vehicle's exhaust was
extremely loud and I was able to distinctly note that it was coming from that
specific vehicle as it cleared the intersection and drove past my patrol car.
I then activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a
traffic stop. The blue Yaris, bearing Ohio Registration JJH 1472, came to a stop
almost immediately.
Upon approaching the vehicle and making 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 said that his drive license was
suspended, with him also being unable to produce any of the other two documents
that I requested.
The driver however did identify himself as Chad Chisholm, with him also
providing his social security number and date of birth. I then instructed Mr.
Chisholm to step out of the vehicle, with me asking for and receiving consent to
do a pat-down and search of his person. After locating no weapons or contraband
as a result of this search, I instructed Chisholm to stay at the rear of his
vehicle near the shoulder of the road.
Mr. Chisholm's information was then relayed to dispatch, with it being confirmed
that he was under a non-compliance suspension. After returning to my patrol car,
I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.032403. I cited Chisholm for driving under
suspension (ORC: 4510.11) as well as loud exhaust (ORC:4513.22).
While I was writing this citation, Ptl. Melendez arrived to my location. Sebring
Tire was called to tow the vehicle with Ptl. Melendez conducting an
administrative inventory of the vehicle, with nothing of value being located
inside.
Mr. Chisholm then signed his citation, was given his copy, and advised of his
mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, February
23,2023 at 09:OO. In speaking further with Mr. Chisholm, he said the registered
owner of the vehicle, Tiffany Craver, was his girlfriend, that they live
together, and that she was aware that his driver license was suspended. Because
of this I advised Josh, of Sebring Tire, that I would be placing a hold on the
vehicle once he arrived and was loading the vehicle onto his tow truck. Craver
shall be cited for wrongful entrustment.
Sebring Tire then towed the vehicle to their impound lot. Mr. Chisholm was given
a courtesey ride to the Oregon Pub so that he could wait there until he could
get a ride back to Canton. I then cleared from the stop.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

555 E Ohio Avenue
Theft (Motor Vehicle) F-4 ORC:2913.02
At 06:22 hours on 01/23/2023, a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado was stolen while parked
at a business in the 500 block of E. Ohio. The vehicle was subsequently
recovered with a warrant being issued for the suspects arrest.
At approximately 06:25 hours on 01/23/2023, 1 was on my way to my shift at the
Sebring Police Department when I observed Ptl. Ossler's patrol car parked in
front of 315 E. Ohio Avenue. The overhead emergency lights on his patrol car
were on and a black Dodge Durango was in the front yard of the residence. The
vehicle, according to Ptl. Ossler, had been stolen from Circle K (205 E. Ohio
Avenue), and had been crashed into the front steps of the home. Ptl. Ossler also
informed me that another vehicle had been stolen from Sebring Kwik Mart (555 E.
Ohio Avenue). I then cleared from the scene, going to the police station to pick
up a patrol car as well as equipment. Once at the police station, it was relayed
to me by Dispatcher Dixon that the owner of the Dodge Durango, Gregory Horner,
as still at Circle K and needed to speak with an officer.
I then went to Circle K, where I met with Horner. In speaking with Horner, he
said that he had gone inside of the store to get coffee and had left his Durango
sitting in the parking lot with the engine running and doors unlocked. While in
the store, he witnessed his vehicle begin moving from the parking spot, with it
then leaving and going eastbound on Ohio Avenue. After gathering the necessary
information for a stolen vehicle form, I drove Horner to the location on E. Ohio
Avenue where the vehicle had been crashed and abandoned. I instructed Horner to
stay in my patrol car while I photographed the scene. I also told Horner that I
would have him look through the vehicle for items that did not belong to him
before releasing it to him, so I could collect whatever may have been left by
the perpetrator as evidence. I then began photographing the scene, noting that
the vehicle appeared to have been traveling eastbound before leaving the roadway
and entering the front yard of the residence.
The front steps to the house also sustained severe damage as did the landscaping
that immediately surrounded the house. The vehicle itself sustained damage, with
the driver side running board being ripped off and damage being caused to the
driver side of the front bumper. This appearing to be from when it struck the
steps, which were made of brick and concrete. Once I was finished photographing
the scene, I brought Horner to the vehicle. Horner pointed out a white baseball
cap and black cloth glove that were sitting on the front passenger seat.
Horner said that these items did not belong to him and that they had not been
there prior to the vehicle being taken.
Using a gloved hand to prevent cross contamination, I placed these two items in
separate paper bags and collected them as evidence. In speaking further with
Horner, he said that while he was in Circle K, a white female subject between 30
and 40 years of age came in the store. The subject according the Horner, was
wearing a black winter jacket, black leggings, and had on what appeared to be
the same white hat that had been left on his front passengers seat. Soon after
the female left the store, Horner said he witnessed his truck leaving the
parking lot.
While I was processing the scene. Ptl. Ossler went to Sebring Quik Mart where he
made contact with the owner of the second vehicle that had been stolen (Ref
Report 2023-001073). Once Ptt. Ossler returned to my location, he informed me
that a female subject matching the description given by Horner had taken a 201 5
Chevrolet Silverado belonging to a Jamie Kelly. this also occurring while the
vehicle's owner was inside the store and the vehicle was left in the parking lot
with the engine running and doors unlocked. I then released the vehicle to
Horner as well as received a witness statement from him. Ptl. Ossler and I then
returned to the police station to complete paperwork and log the evidence that
had been collected from the scene of the crash. Contact was also made with Ptl.
Melendez who had received security footage from Circle K of the at the time
unknown female subject.
A short time later, I was informed that the Silverado belonging to Jamie Kelly
had been located by Canton Police Department after being involved in a hit skip
crash. Upon making contact with Canton City Police, I was informed that a female
by the name of Stacey Elizabeth Glover had been taken into custody as a result.
Canton Police also said that she had admitted to having taken the truck while
she was in Sebring. Canton City Police said that they had arrested Glover for
receiving stolen property in connection with the incident, and that she was
currently at Aultman Hospital.
After receiving permission to do so, I went to Aultman Hospital to interview
Glover. White I was enroute to this location, Ptl. Melendez
was dispatched to 666 W. Maryland Avenue for a report of an abandoned vehicle
(Ref Report # 23-001074). This vehicle, a Chevrolet Equinox, was found to have
been stolen from the area of New Philadelphia, Ohio.
Once at Aultman Hospital, I met with Ptl. Ossler. Ptl. Ossler. Ptl. Ossler and I
then went to room R-2 in the Emergency Department where we found Officer M.
Gutscher in the room with Stacey Glover. I then identified myself to Glover, as
well as read her Miranda Rights lo her. Glover said that she understood these
rights and was willing to speak with me. In speaking with Glover, she initially
said that she couldn't remember what had happened, but later admitted to having
taken both the Silverado belonging to Mr. Kelly as well as the Durango Belonging
to Mr. Horner. Glover said that she took both vehicles from gas stations and
that the keys were in them. In addition to this, Glover also admitted to
crashing Horner's Durango into a house. During my time speaking with Glover, she
made repeated statements about trying to get away from her boyfriend, with her
at one point saying she hurt him. Glover would later admit to having stolen
three cars total, including the one that had been found at 666 W. Maryland
Avenue.
During my time speaking with Glover, she made statements about having hurt her
boyfriend with her saying at one point that she killed him and burned him.
Officer Glover of Canton City advised that this was the first time she had heard
Glover say this and her agency would follow up accordingly. It should also be
noted that I had my digital recorder activated in the pocket of my vest while I
was interviewing Glover. The media file from this recorder was saved in the
department photos in the shared drive with the corresponding case number.
Ptl. Ossler and I then cleared from the hospital. Canton Police Department
advised that they would be holding Glover in the Stark County Jail on their
charges of receiving stolen property.
After leaving Aultman Hospital, Ptl. Ossler and I went to Canton City Impound
lot (2436 30th St. NE. Canton, OH). Once there, we located the Silverado
belonging to Mr. Kelly. I found this vehicle to have sustained heady front end
damage with the airbag in the steering wheel having been deployed. I then
photographed the damage as well as information to forward to Mr. Kelly so he
could work on getting hls vehicle back. Ptl. Ossler and I then cleared from the
impound lot with him finishing his shift and me returning to the Village of
Sebring.
Immediately upon returning to the Village of Sebring, I met with Ptl. Melendez
at 666 W. Maryland Avenue. Once on scene, I observed a dark colored Chevrolet
Equinox bearing Ohio Registration HZE 1341, sitting in the driveway.
Rosenberry towing was on scene to tow the vehicle back to where it originated
from.
Once back on station, I was advised by Chief Harris that Prosecutor Van Brocklin
had approved two charges of Theft (Motor Vehicle) (ORC: 2913.02) as well as one
charge of receiving stolen property (ORC: 2913.51). All three charges being
fourth-degree felonies.
Warrants were drafted and entered into LEADS.
At approximately 19:30 hours on this same date, Glover was taken Into custody on
her warrants through our agency after being released from Stark County's
custody. Det. Ray took her into custody at their jail and transported her back
to the Sebring Police Department. Once back on station, the necessary paperwork
for commitment to jail was completed. It should be noted that in addition to the
criminal charges, I cited Glover for Stopping after accident on public roads or
highways (ORC:4549.02) and Operation without being in reasonable control (ORC:
451 1.202). Glover was issued Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032402, which she
signed and received a copy of. I then transported Glover to the Mahoning County
Jail without incident. Nothing additional to report at this time.

ORC:4511.39 Turn and stop signals
ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (Non-Compliance)
At 09:58 hours on 01/21/2023, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 302. While in the 200 block of N. 13th Street, I observed a black Hyundai
SUV, bearing Ohio Registration JWQ5601, that had been traveling south bound on
N. 13th Street, come to the intersection of E. Oregon Avenue. The vehicle failed
to signal until already at a complete stop at the intersections stop sign. This
being
substantially and unmistakably short of the required one-hundred feet. It should
be noted that prior to observing this violation, I observed the vehicle at
Circle K (205 E. Ohio Avenue).
During this time, I observed who I know to be ------ get in the passenger seat
and an unknown female get in the driver seat. A random registration check was
conducted at that time, which showed the vehicle's registered owner to have a
suspended driver license with limited driving privileges.
I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights to initiate a
traffic stop as the vehicle completed its turn onto E. Oregon Avenue. As I came
around the corner, observed that the vehicle had came to a stop in front of 285
.E Oregon Avenue with ----- exiting. Upon seeing me, ----- approached my patrol
car from the passenger side, with me instructing her to return to the vehicle as
well as telling
her that I would be with her and the driver momentarily.
I then approached the vehicle, making contact with the driver and informing her
of the reason for the stop. The driver said that she wasn't sure where she was
going prior to coming to the intersection. When I asked for her driver license,
she said that she did not have it on her. The driver then identified herself by
her social security number, with her telling me that she was Amber Soska, the
vehicle's registered owner.
When asked where she was coming from, she said that she had been at Circle K and
prior to that had been at a friends house. Asked if she was out working, with
her saying that she was not. I then instructed both Soska and ----- to exit the
vehicle and stand near the back bumper while I relayed Soska's information to
dispatch.
At this time Soska's suspension was confirmed. I then exited my patrol car again
and asked her about the suspension and what driving privileges she had. Soska
said that she had occupational, medical, and family privileges. Soska then said
that she had been working for her friend to make money. When I confronted Soska
with the fact that she said that she had not been working, she said "it was
easier to just tell you that". Soska also produced documents from the court that
noted her driving privileges were for occupational, medical, and family
necessity only.
At this time, I began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032401. I cited
Soska for turn and stop signals (ORC 4511.39) as well as driving under
suspension (ORC: 4510.11). During this time, ----- made continual complaints
that my stopping her and her friend was "harassment" and "abuse of power".
I attempted to explain to ----- that my stop was the result of a traffic
infraction but to no avail. Soska then signed the citation, was given her copy,
and advised of her mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at
09:00 on Thursday, January 26, 2023. An administrative inventory was completed
with nothing of value being located. Sebring Tire arrived soon after to tow the

At 17:25 hours on 01/21/2023, I was attempting to serve a felony warrant on a
Taylor Steed, of 631 W. New York Avenue. As I approached the residence, I
observed a silver Chevrolet Malibu, bearing Ohio Registration DJX 5099, parked
directly in front of the house on New York Avenue. The vehicle's engine was
running, lights were turned on, and an adult male was sitting in the driver
seat. I then relayed the vehicle's registration number to dispatch, while
approached from the passenger side.
Upon making contact with the driver, I asked him if he was with someone at the
subject address. The subject said that he was waiting for Taylor's boyfriend and
that he had came there to give him a ride. While I was speaking with the
subject, I received a return on the vehicle's registration from dispatch, with
it being advised that the registration was expired and the vehicle's registered
owner, Rodney Givens, had a
suspended driver license.
I then asked the subject if he was Rodney Givens, with him saying that he was
also at this time observed several torch lighters, which I know to be commonly
used in the ingestion of methamphetamine, sitting on the front passenger seat.
When I asked Rodney if there was anything in the vehicle that I needed to
concern myself with such as illegal drugs or weapons, he said that there was
not. Rodney also handed me his driver license, with the suspension being
confirmed.
I advised Rodney that his driver license was suspended, as well as instructed
him to step out of the car. Rodney said that his leg had been broken and he
would have difficulty standing. I did observe a "boot" on his leg at this time,
and because of this instructed him to stay in the vehicle and to not reach
around for, anything while I went to attempt contact at the residence.
While I was standing on the porch, I observed Given's reaching around in the
area of the passenger seat.
Because of this and the fact that I was not receiving an answer at the door, I
returned to his vehicle, also asking Sgt. Kelm to clear where he was at the back
of the residence to assist me in dealing with Givens.
Once back at Givens's vehicle, I instructed him to step out of the car. givens
then gave me consent to search his person as well as vehicle.
No contraband was found as a result of these searched. I advised givens that he
would be receiving a citation for driving under suspension (ORC: 4510.11) as
well as expired registration (ORC: 4503.11). Givens was given the opportunity to
call for a valid driver to drive his vehicle from the roadside, but was unable
to locate one. Because of this Sebring Tire was called to tow the vehicle.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032165. I cited Givens for the above listed offenses. I then returned to his
vehicle where he signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised of his
mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 on 01/26/2023 at 09:00.

I spoke to ----- and her father. She showed me messages that Daniel had sent
her including threats. She stated she blocks the number and he creates a new one
via an internet texting app. I had her send screen shots of the messages to my
email and they will be attached to this report.
A request for charges will be sent to the prosecutor for approval.
She told me two locations he could be at. They have been trying to find him all
day after he made threats of suicide.
PTL. Ray had dealt with him earlier in the day and he fled upon contact. One of
the locations he could have been at was in Smith TWP. I asked SGT Davis from
STPD to come to my station and make a plan. He did so and we decided to first
check at the Mills' residence at 265 W Oregon as he had been there earlier. I
Asked SGT Davis to assist me and make contact up front and I would cover the
rear in case he fled out the back again.
Once I was in position at the back door, SGT Davis knocked on the front. Daniel
attempted to flee out the rear and I was there to greet him. I pointed my lazer
at him ordering him to step out and get on the ground. He complied. SGT Davis
made his way around to the back when he heard me yelling at Daniel. Daniel was
placed in cuffs adequately spaced and double locked. He was very cooperative as
we retrieved his property from inside the house. He was placed in the back of my
patrol unit and transported back to the station. SGT Davis cleared the call.
Upon arrival back at the station, Daniel kept asking for a cigarette. Since he
was very cooperative, I gave him the courtesy of having a cigarette before we
proceeded with the booking process. He stated I could remove the cuffs as
another officer had done that for him at our station before and I believed him,
as we have done that in the past with cooperative subjects placed in custody. As
he finished his cigarette, he fled WB though the parking lot screaming "I'm
sorry" and "Don't taze me". I pursued on foot ordering him to stop. I caught up
with him quickly.
DO Denoon was already radioing for SGT Davis to assist as he had seen this
happen. As we reached the back of the Laundromat, I yelled "stop or you will be
tazed" and Daniel ran into the wall of the Laundromat and gave up. He was held
at tazer point until he placed his hands behind his back. I cuffed him again,
and walked him back to the station. He was apologetic admitting he knew not to
run. The paper work process was completed and he was transported to Mahoning
County Jail without further incident.

ARREST: James Kaminski, 45
806 W. Ohio Ave. Sebring
Charge: 2903.13 Assault / M-1 , BOND $1250
Upon arrival I made contact with the suspect James Kaminski, 806 W. Ohio Ave.
James put his hands out in front of him and said "ok, lets go I want to go to
the county jail". I advised James I would like to talk about what happened.
James began to cry and stated it was all over and he was just ready to go to
jail. James also stated he had a warrant for his arrest. At this time had James
put his hands behind his back and placed him in handcuffs (gapped and double
locked). At this time Pt, Russell arrived on scene. I then went inside to make
contact with the victim, 306 W. Indiana Ave. Victim stated that a man whom he
had never met walked up behind him, hit him in the head, pulled him off his
stool, and began to cuss at him. Victim stated he had never scene the man before
and didn't even speak to him before the incident. I then had Victim fill out a
sworn statement stating what he told me.
I spoke to the bar tender who stated she wanted to sign a Notice of Restriction
and did not want James back in the establishment. Rachel also stated she would
get me a copy of the camera footage from the incident. I then went back out to
Ptl. Russell who was speaking to James. We then placed James in the rear of Ptl.
Russell's patrol car and he was transported back to the station for processing.
Upon arrival at the station Ptl. Russell advised me that James had been becoming
increasing agitated. James was brought into the squad room while I completed my
paperwork. James began spitting on the floor. When asked to stop he became angry
and started yelling at Ptl. Russell and I. James then began to state he was
going to spit in my face and called me a "nigger" several times stating I
wouldn't make it in the hood. James also ensured we were aware he had been to
prison.
After completing my paperwork I stood up to retrieve it from the printer and
James attempted to spit in my face. At this time Ptl. Russell pushed him away
from me and blocked his mouth with her hand to keep him from being able to spit.
We then walked James out to the cruiser where he refused to get into the back
seat so Ptl., Russell and I had to push him in and close the door. PtI. Russell
then began transporting James to the Mahoning County Jail. Only minutes after
leaving the station Ptl. Russell contacted dispatch and advised James had been
kicking the rear door of the cruiser attempting to escape. I advised Ptl.
Russell to stay where she was and I would respond. I then made my way to 5th St.
and Main St. where Ptl. Russell had stopped. Ptl. Russell advised he had stopped
kicking at that time and she just wanted to continue the transport to get him to
the jail.
James was transported to Mahoning County Jail for one count of Assault
2903.13/M-1. James has a mandatory court appearance on 12/22/2022 at 0900hrs.

On 12/19/2022 I was dispatched and responded to MCC#3 for a male subject with a
possible active warrant. I was further advised the Sebring FD called Dispatch
and advised this same male subject was there at the FD yelling and screaming at
the fire fighters. I was advised the male is James Kamanski. He was yelling.
screaming and cussing at the fire fighters because they could not give him a

I responded to MCC#3 and was advised by the Clerks that Mr. Kamanski has an
active bench warrant out for him at this time.
While at MCC#3 Mr. Kamanski arrived. Mr. Kamanski then started to yell at the
Clerks demanding them to do something about his warrants. He was advised several
times he would have to come back on Thursday when court is in session and a
deputy would be there to serve him. Mr. Kamanski became more agitated and
refused to settle down. I had then made contact with Mr. Kamanski and advised
him to settle down and listen to what the ladies were telling him or he would be
taken into custody for disorderly conduct due to his behavior at the FD and at
MCC#3.
Mr. Kamanski started yelling and cussing more saying "take me then bitch" "just
go ahead and arrest me". At this time Mr. Kamanski was taken into custody. I
escorted him out of the court house and to the marked police car unit 304. He
was patted down for weapons at this time.
Nothing was found. He was then secured in the back of unit 304 and transported
to the Sebring Police Department for booking and
processing. While at the Sebring Police Department Mr. Kamanski was yelling and
using profanities at this officer.
Detective Starr from STPD was requested to responded to the Sebring Pd for
mutual aid due to James behavior. Mr. Kamanski was very unpleasant during my
entire encounter. He was extremely uncooperative. He stated this is why cops get
killed and made comments to spit on myself and Detective Starr.
Mr. Kamanski was released on his own Recognizance. He refused to take his
paperwork for court with his court date and stated he was not going to show up
for court anyways.

CRIMINAL
ARREST: Shawn Davner, age 39, 28759 State Route 62, Damascus, OH
@ MCC#3 605 E. Ohio Ave., Sebring
CHARGE: 2911.12 (B) Burglary (F4) / Bond $4,000.00
ARRESTING OFFICER: #507 Melendez
At 16:12 hours, a resident of the 200 block of W. Indiana Avenue reported that a
male subject who was unknown to her, attempted to enter her home through the
front door.
At 16:12 hours I was dispatched to 265 W. Indiana Ave. for a report of a male
subject who had attempted to enter the residence through the front door. The
caller / complainant, later determined to be Lisa Smith, said that the male
subject was wearing a white tee shirt, black shorts, and had tattoos on his face
and arms. It was also relayed to me by dispatch that the subject was walking
eastbound in the 200 block of W. Indiana Avenue, towards N. 12th Street, and
that another male subject on a blue bicycle was with him.
I immediately proceeded to this location, also requesting mutual aid from Smith
Township Police Department, due to being delayed by a train at the Johnson Road
crossing.
Once in the area, I located a male subject, later determined to be Waid Smith,
standing on the porch of 265 W. Indiana Avenue. Waid told me that two subjects
had gone westbound on Indiana and turned left on N. 17th Street. As I turned
onto N. 17th Street, I observed a male subject wearing a white tee shirt with
black shorts as well as another subject on a blue bicycle. I at this point was
able to recognize the male wearing the white tee and short as being Shawn Davner.
I then exited my patrol car and instructed Davner to come to me. Davner began
making statements about the guy back there flipping out on him for going in his
house, with him also saying that he had the wrong house and thought his friend
lived there.
I then performed a pat-down of Davner, with no weapons or contraband being
located. Ptl. McDaniel, of The Smith Township Police Department arrived to my
location at this lime as well. Ptl. McDaniel stood by with Davner, while I spoke
with the subject on the bicycle. In speaking with this subject, they said that
they did not have any form of identification on them. that their name was Tyler
Grace, and their birthday was March 23, 2004. When I asked for a social security
number, they were unable to provide one. Dispatch was also unable to locate a
person by this name in LEADS.
I then asked the subject if they were willing to empty their pockets, with the
subject saying "sure". The subject then emptied their pockets. with me noticing
a small plastic baggy that contained a light colored crystalline substance.
Based upon my training and experience, this appeared to me methamphetamine. When
I asked the subject what it was they said "that's not mine" and began running.
The subject made it about 15 feet before I tackled them and secured them in
handcuffs which were properly spaced and double-locked. The subject was then
secured in the back of car #302.
Ptl. McDaniel continued to stand-by with Davner, while I went to speak with Waid
Smith and his wife. In speaking with the Smith's they said that they were inside
their house when they noticed the subjects in front of their home acting
suspiciously. Waid and Lisa said that the two were recording themselves, and
behaving strangely. Lisa said that she then went to call the police, which was
at the same time that the taller male subject (Davner), walked onto their porch,
opened a screen door as well as main door, and entered the residence. Waid said
that Davner made it into his dining room which was when he confronted him.
Davner and the other subject began walking eastbound down Indiana before turning
around and going westbound and then onto N. 17th Street. Both Waid and Lisa said
that they were not familiar with either subject and wanted to pursue charges in
the matter.
I then returned to where Davner was standing with Sgt. McDaniel. with me
securing him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double-locked. I
informed Davner that at that point he was not under arrest and was simply being
detained. Davner was then secured in the back of Smith Township patrol car.
After securing Davner I went to speak with the subject who I had secured in the
back of car #302. The subject maintained that their name was Tyler Grace and
their date of birth was 03-23-2004. I at this point noted that the subject
appeared to be female. I then went back to speak with Davner, who told me that
the other subject was Ronnie Warren. After speaking with Davner, I again
returned to car 302. I confronted the subject about her identity, as well as the
fact that I had encountered them before and possibly still have an active
warrant for their arrest out. The subject admitted that she was in fact Ronnie
Warren and that her birth date was 08-18-1988. Upon relaying this information to
dispatch, it was found that Ronnie had an active felony warrant for possession
of a controlled substance through this agency.
I then made contact with Chief Harris so that I could get approval to call in an
off duty officer to transport Warren, with it also being agreed upon that Davner
would be released from the scene and a warrant for his arrest being obtained
after speaking with Prosecutor Van Brocklin about appropriate charge. I then
returned to Smith Township's patrol car, where I released Davner from Custody.
Warren also gave approval for Davner to take her bicycle. After releasing Davner,
I went back to speak with the Smith's. I provided Lisa with two witness
statements, one for her and one for her husband. Lisa reiterated that she wanted
to pursue charges in the matter, with her again saying that she was unfamiliar
with both Davner and Warren. After giving her the statement forms. I told her
that I would return once I finished my business with Warren.
I then transported Warren to The Sebring Police Station where she was
photographed and processed for jail. Warren sustained light abrasions to her
left forearm while being taken into custody. These abrasions were photographed
as well. It should also be noted that I interviewed Warren regarding the
incident, this being after I read her Miranda Rights to her and she signed a
Miranda Waiver form. Warren said that she had been with Davner earlier in the
day when he stale money from a subject in an apparent drug deal. Warren said
that prior to approaching the Smith residence, Davner said 'same demo as
earlier". Ptl. Brindack arrived to cover my shift while I transported Warren to
Jail. While enroute to the jail on State Route 534, Warren began stating that
she was sick, with her complaining of a hernia that she had been suffering from
for several months. I did advise both Sgt. Kelm as well as Chief Harris of this,
with it being decided that the jail nurse would be in charge of assessing Warren
and determining if she needed medical treatment. Once at The Mahoning County
Jail. Warren was assessed by the jail nurse who determined that her condition
was not a medical emergency.
Upon being informed of this. Warren became belligerent and verbally abusive
towards the nurse. Warren was then processed into the jail for her warrant as
well as an additional charge of obstructing Official Business (ORC: 2921.31(A)).
This additional charge being the result of her running as well as providing
false information regarding her identity during a criminal investigation. I then
cleared from the jail.
Once back in the village, I went to The Smith residence where I met with Lisa,
who provided me with the statements that she and her husband had completed. I
informed Lisa that I would be speaking with the Prosecutor in the morning about
appropriate charges and to call the police immediately should any further issues
arise. The suspected methamphetamine that was recovered from Warren was secured
in temporary evidence locker # 3. Additional charges may be pursued pending
laboratory results. NFI.

On 06-27-2022. I met with Prosecutor Van Brocklin regarding this matter. After

Ptl. Melendez #507 8/8/2022
At approximately 1300 hours on 08-08-2022 I stopped at 696 E. Ohio Avenue to
check the status of the two dogs in this case. It should be noted that Ashley
Crawford did give me consent to be on the property regarding this matter during
her processing after arrest.
Upon arriving to the back yard. I noticed that the lab puppy, Huck, had his cord
wrapped around the tree that he was secured to. This giving him approximatly 3'
of lead. Also, I was informed by Ptl. Brindack at this time that Animal Charity
of Ohio had contacted him earlier in the day.
Because of this, I called the number that Ptl. Brindack had been contacted by
and spoke with Humane Agent Jessica MacMurchy. Agent MacMurchey informed me that
she was planning on coming to the residence and was on Western Reserve Road at
the time. MacMurchy advised an ETA of approximately 20 minutes. I remained
standing by with the two dogs, with Humane Agent MacMurchy arriving soon after,
accompanied by another agent.
I informed Agent MacMurchy of the facts and circumstances thus far in the case,
as well as the fact that Ashley Crawford had signed a release form that
surrendered the animals to The Sebring Police Department and any agency or
organization that we seen fit. MacMurchy said that because Crawford had
surrendered the animals, her agency would take custody of them, providing them
with medical care and adopting them out.
MacMurchy then began assessing the dogs, with it being noted that the senior
dog, Cooper, appeared to be suffering from severe neglect.
This being evident by advanced mange and severely overgrown toenails. MacMurchy
informed me that the toenails in and of themselves would cause Cooper severe
pain and discomfort. It was also noted that various insects were crawling on
Coopers skin and he had what appeared to be skin irritation on his back. Agent
MacMurchy then loaded both dogs into her van. It should be noted that while
walking Cooper appeared to struggle on hard surfaces due to the length of his
nails. Once both dogs were loaded onto the Humane Agent's van I cleared from the
call. NFI.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Cruze (PA Reg: JRE 4805) pulled over almost immediately. As I came to the front
driver side door, the driver stated "I already known". I then informed him of
his speed with the driver saying "and the stop sign". I then requested the
driver's driver license, registration, and proof of insurance.
The driver was able to produce all three requested documents, with his Ohio
Driver License identifying him as Gene Allan Spade.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032292. I cited spade for Speed (SCO:333.03), for going 35 MPH in a marked 20
MPH zone, as well as Operation of Vehicle at Stop Signs (SCO: 331.19). I then
returned to the vehicle where I returned Spade's documents to him.
Spade also signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact
Mahoning County Court #3 within the next several business days for information
on how to either pay for the citation or contest it if he wished to do so. I
then cleared from the stop. NFI.

I placed Bane in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and doublelocked, and informed him that he was being detained until it could be determined if the issuing agency wanted to take custody of him. Bane was then secured in the back of car 303.
After it was determined that Barberton did not want to take custody of Bane, I began writing Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032291 to Amanda. I cited Amanda for driver license required (SCO: 335.01).

At 11:01 hours on 05-30-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked

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

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.

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

Case #22-005086
Traffic / Oak Ridge Motel
CITED: Jacob James, 24, 648 Beltflower Ave, Canton
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.

CHARGE: SCO:335.10 Expired Registration
At 11:14 hours on 05-17-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While traveling northbound in the 1400 block of 5. 12'h Street, I
observed-a white pickup truck, towing a fifth-wheel trailer that was traveling
southbound in the 1200 block of S. 12th Street. The truck appeared to be
traveling at a speed that was greater 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 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. The driver produced an Ohio Driver License
that showed him to be Caleb Yoder as well as proof of insurance, but was unable
to locate his vehicle registration. Mr. Yoder also informed me that he wasn't
paying attention to his speed while he was driving. I then returned to my patrol
car, where I relayed Mr. Yoder's information to dispatch.
At this point I was informed that the registration on the truck had expired on
04-16-2022. I then drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032285. I cited Mr.
Yoder for Expired Registration (SCO:335.10).
After completing the citation, I returned to Yoder's vehicle where he signed the
citation, as given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3
for information on how to either pay the citation or contest it if he wished to
do so. Yoder was also given a verbal warning for speed. I then cleared from the

At 11:31 hours on 05-17-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While traveling northbound on S. 12th Street nearing Alabama Avenue, I
observed a white SUV that was traveling southbound at a rate of speed that
appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posed 35 MPH limit.
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. Once the vehicle passed me, I turned the patrol car around,
and initiated a traffic stop. Due to the vehicle's speed and the driver's
apparent inattentiveness, the vehicle did not come to a stop until it was on S.
12th Street near U.S. 62.
Upon approaching the white Chevrolet Equinox, bearing Ohio Registration HZD
3673, I made contact with the female driver. I informed her of the reason for
the stop, with her telling me that she believed that speed limit on that section
of 12* Street was 45 MPH. I then requested her driver license, vehicle
registration, and proof of insurance. The driver was able to produce all three
requested documents, with her Ohio Driver License showing her to be Heather Ann
Case.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032286. I cited Case for speed (SCO: 333.03), for going 52 in a marked 35 MPH

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.

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.

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

Charge: SCO:333.03 Speed (56/35)
At 20:03 hours on 05-01-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 303. While traveling southbound in the 700 block of S. lzth Street, I
observed a white sedan traveling northbound, at a rate of speed that appeared to
be substantially higher than that of the posted 35 MPH limit. Upon activating
the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 56
MPH.
I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, turned around, and
began attempting to catch up to the vehicle in order to perform a traffic stop.
I was able to catch up with the vehicle, a white Acura, bearing Ohio
Registration JSF 8037, in the 100 block of S. 12th Street.
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed him of the
reason for the stop as well as requested his driver license, vehicle
registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver informed me that the
vehicle was a rental, with him producing a lease agreement to the vehicle. The
driver also provided me with his Ohio Driver License, that showed him to be
Michael Williams. Mr. Williams at this time told me that he was delivering items
for Walmart, and that was why he was going so fast.
I then returned to my patrol car, where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032280. Cited Williams for speed (SCO: 333.03), for going 56 MPH in a marked 35
MPH zone. Williams then signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed

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 patrolling 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.

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

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,

At 21:27 hours on 04-19-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked

through the intersection without coming to a stop. The vehicle was traveling
eastbound on W. Ohio, approached the intersection which is clearly marked with
flashing red lights as well as stop signs, and turned left onto N. Johnson Road.
Based upon my training and experience, the vehicle appeared to be traveling at
approximatly 12 MPH when it went through the intersection.
I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a
traffic stop. The vehicle, a gray Hyundai Santa Fe, bearing Ohio Registration
HAT 8068, came to a stop on N. Johnson Road near W. Maryland Avenue.
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed him of the
reason for the stop as well as asked for his vehicle registration, proof of
insurance, and driver license. The driver said that he realized that he did not
come to a stop at the intersection and that he was in a hurry to get back to
work. He then produced and Ohio Driver License that showed him to be Robin
Strader, as well as his vehicle's registration. Strader was unable to provide
proof of insurance.
I then returned to my patrol car, where I relayed Strader's information to

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.

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. When I asked Ryan why this was he said that the registration belonged
on his other truck.

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

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

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

At 18:30 hours on 03-22-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 303. While stationary near the loading bay at Famous Supply, located at 350
Courtney Road, I observed a white box van traveling eastbound at a rate of speed

the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 51
MPH. I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, pulled onto
the roadway, and initiated a traffic stop.
The vehicle, a white Ford E-250, bearing Ohio Registration JHB 7003, did not
respond to my lights or audible siren until it had neared the intersection of N.
12Ih and Courtney Road. Once the vehicle was stopped, I approached and made
contact with the driver. I informed him of the reason for the stop, with him
stating "I thought it was 45 on this road". I then requested his driver license,
vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver was only able to
produce his Ohio Driver License, which identified him as Joshua D. Frankos.

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.

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.

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.

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

CHARGE: SCO: 335.10 Expired License Plates
At 16:15 hours on 01-21-2022 I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302. While traveling eastbound in the turning lane on E. 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.

Case #22-001009
TRAFFIC - 15th Street / Texas Ave
CITED: Bruce Rodkey, 45, 11360 Johnson Ave NE
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).

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.

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).

Charge: SCO:333.03 Speed (49/35)
On 09-25-2021 at 21:23 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302. While stationary at the entrance of Grandview Cemetery, located on S. Johnson Rd. approximately 1/4 mile north of the intersection with U.S. Route 62, I heard a vehicle begin rapidly accelerating as it traveled northbound on S. Johnson Rd. I then observed a silver Dodge Durango, traveling northbound on Johnson Rd at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posted 35 MPH speed limit.
I then obtained a locked speed of 49 MPH on the vehicle, using the department issued LIDAR(light Detection and Ranging) gun. Once the vehicle passed by me, I pulled onto the roadway and activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights. The vehicle, Silver Dodge Durango, bearing Ohio Registration JLX 5185, then pulled to the side of the road.
Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver and advised him of the reason for the stop. When I asked the driver why he accelerated so fast from the intersection, he stated "I just like the way my vehicle sounds, sir". I then requested the driver's vehicle registration, proof of insurance, as well as driver license. The driver was able to produce all requested documents, with his Ohio Driver License identifying him as Toby Lee Zeigler.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032092. Mr. Zeigler was cited for Speed/ Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03 for going 49MPH in a marked 35MPH zone.

OVI - Courtney and Johnson Road
CITED: Tonia Norris, 47, 33569 Edgehill Drive, Franklin
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.

CITED: Loni Quinn, 31, 27276 Lake Front Dr. Beloit OH
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.

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.

CHARGES:
ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (M1)
ORC: 4549.08 Fictitious Plates
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.

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.

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.

Charge: SCO: 333.08 Reasonable Control (MM)
At 11:0l hours on 06-11-2021 I was traveling westbound in the 300 block of Courtney Rd. when I observed a semi-tractor-trailer-truck that appeared to have driven off the roadway while traveling eastbound. All wheels on the driver side of the truck and trailer were lifted off of the ground and the truck was leaning heavily onto its passenger side.
As I approached closer, I observed a male subject in his 20's, of Asian descent, standing near the truck. I slowed to a stop and made contact with the subject, who advised that he had a tow truck enroute to pull the truck out. At approximately this time, I was advised by dispatch that a call had been received regarding the incident.
I then turned my patrol car around and activated my overhead lights so as to alert oncoming traffic. I also requested the driver's registration, driver license, as well as proof of insurance. The driver produced a driver license from Ontario Canada that identified him as Rajbeer Singh Turna. In speaking with Turna, he advised that while he was traveling eastbound on Courtney Rd. approaching the tracks he slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway to allow another vehicle to pass him. Turna said that he pulled over too far and then went into the ditch. Turna advised that he had been up driving for approximately nine hours.
I detected no signs of impairment while speaking with him. As I continued on around the truck, I noticed that an Ontario Canada license plate bearing 903-2PZ was attached to the truck. U.S. Dept. Transportation No. 1474865 was also affixed to the side.
Approximately 40 minutes later, Johns Towing arrived and pulled the semi-tractor-trailer-truck from the ditch.
Upon being removed from the ditch, the truck was pulled across the railroad tracks by Johns Towing. Because Mr. Turna could not get the truck started again, I notified Smith Township of the issue. Because the truck presented a road hazard, Det. Starr arrived and began conducting traffic control until the truck could be towed from the roadside. David Martin and John Shultz, of Famous Supply, also arrived at around this time and assessed the damage to their property that consisted of deep rutting and damage to the grass along the roadside.
Rajbeer Turna was issued Uniform traffic citation No. 032024 for operation without reasonable control (SC0:333.08). Turna 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. I then cleared from the scene with nothing additional to report at this time.

Charge: SCO:333.08 Operation Without Reasonable Control
On 05-06-2021 at 08:05 hours, I was dispatched to the area of Sebring Woods on Courtney Rd. regarding a vehicle in a ditch with the driver standing outside of it. I immediately proceeded to this area where I located the subject vehicle, a red 2003 Ford Mustang (OH Reg JIU 4422), sitting in a grassy area on the north side of the roadway facing east. There were also tire tracks in the grass and along the berm of the roadway that led from Courtney Rd and indicated an eastbound direction of travel.
Upon making contact with the male subject who was standing outside of the vehicle, I asked him what had happened and if he was injured. The subject said that he was turning right into Courtney Rd. from N. Johnson Avenue and he lost control and went off the roadway. I then asked the subject for his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The subject was able to produce an Ohio Driver License that identified him as Zachary Richards as well as proof of up-to-date insurance. Richards said that he had just purchased the vehicle and provided me with a signed and notarized title, which listed a purchase date of 04-19-2021. In speaking further with Richards I did not observe any signs to indicate that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Richards also advised that he was wearing a seat belt and had not been distracted by his cell phone or any other device at the time of the crash.
I then returned to my patrol car and drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.032079. Richards was cited for operation without reasonable control (Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.08). Richards then signed to citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for instructions on how to either pay the citation or contest it if he wished to do so.

Charge: SCO:331.36 Loud Exhaust
On 05-06-2023 at 2346 hours I, Patrolman Peterman #507, was preparing to leave station when I observed a black Volkswagen approaching the intersection of N 15th St. and East Ohio Ave. loudly emitting a crackling exhaust sound. As the vehicle passed station, I observed the exhaust was modified through the hood of the vehicle. As the vehicle turned south onto 15th St. the vehicle became increasingly louder as it accelerated. I entered my assigned, marked cruiser #302, and as I passed through the intersection of Ohio Ave. and 15th I observed the same vehicle traveling south towards West Texas Ave. I approached the vehicle while activating my emergency overhead lights and audible siren, with the vehicle stopping on west Texas Ave, near south 15th St.
I advised dispatch to have Sgt. Kelm #503 to assist me with the traffic stop.
As Sgt. Kelm arrived on scene, I approached the vehicle, identifying myself and the reason for the stop being the very loud exhaust sound. I advised the driver and registered owner, Samuel Holshue, that I was going to perform a decibel reading on the vehicle with the department reader. I advised Samuel to rev his car to 3000 RPM so that I can observe the sound level emitted is the same during testing and Samuel complied. I then advised him to stop. As the vehicle idled, I Placed the decibel reader 2-3 inches above the exhaust tip for several seconds and observed a steady reading of 90.8 decibels.
I then advised Samuel to rev the vehicle to 3000 RPM and to hold it at that level as I obtained a second reading. Upon performing the same placement of decibel reader, I observed a steady reading of 109.9 Decibels over several seconds. I moved the reader away after locking the device at maximum noise level read, and shown Samuel the reading.
I advised Samuel I needed his license and pertinent documentation for the vehicle. Samuel handed me his license, and I returned to my marked cruiser. Samuel was given from Sgt. Kelms citation booklet, citation #031225 for loud exhaust (SCO 331.36MM), and upon returning to the vehicle, Samuel showed me an insurance card that expired on 4/30/2021. Samuel was unable to find an up to date insurance card, and was given a mandatory court date to be set by the court. I advised Samuel of this and asked for his signature, to which he complied.
Officers then cleared without further incident.

I activated my emergency overhead lights, and audible siren as the vehicle stopped near the intersectian of West Pennsylvania and North 19th Street, I performed a passenger side approach and identified myself, and the reason for the stop being the registered owner being under license suspension.
The driver, Alyssa Smith, advised she was aware of her license suspension but had driving privileges for work and had just gotten off of work but was searching for her dog that ran away earlier that evening.
Alyssa handed me her identification card, which I confirmed through dispatch was under a license suspension with driving privileges, but did not have her registration or insurance on her. I then advised Alyssa if she could have a valid driver be at our location in a short time, I would not tow the vehicle. A short time later Shawn Carver arrived on scene and produced a valid license which I confirmed through dispatch. Shawn Carver took possession of the vehicle, and I advised Alyssa not to drive for any reason not listed on her privileges.
Alyssa agreed and I cleared without further incident.
After discussing with dispatch, I mistook the license suspension with privileges as dispatch advised to me that her driving privileges were revoked through Portage County Court as of 3/20/21. I then went to the residence (595 West Maryland Ave.) and advised Alyssa she was going to receive a citation as her driving privileges were revoked.
I completed citation #032051 for DUS 4510.11, and advised Alyssa to contact the court for further information on the court date and any other questions she may have. I then cleared without further incident.

Charge: SCO:333.03 Speed(53/35)
On 04-24-2021 at 11:24 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While stationary along the roadside facing south in the 100 block of 5. 12fhS treet, I observed a silver SUV traveling northbound on 5. 12th street near E. Georgia Avenue at a rate of speed that was visibly higher than that of the posted 35 MPH limit. Upon activating the patrol cars front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 53 MPH.
Once the vehicle passed by my location, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The silver Jeep Lerada, being Ohio Registration FXP 1825, came to a complete stop in the 100 block of S.12th Street near the train tracks. I then performed a passenger side approach and made contact with the driver, as well as front seat passenger. In speaking with the driver, I identified myself as well as informed him of the reason for the stop. When I asked if he was aware of his speed, the driver said that he believed that he was only going 40 MPH. I then requested his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver produced an Ohio Driver License that identified him as Henry Mumaw. I also at this point noticed that both he and his passenger appeared very anxious, as was evident by their shaking and inability to maintain eye contact while I was speaking with them.
I also asked the passenger if I could see his identification, with him handing me an Ohio Identification card that showed him to be Jeriah Doyle.
I then returned to my patrol car, with Ptl. Paterson arriving to my location. In speaking with Paterson, I advised him that I would be writing the driver a citation for speed as soon as I was advised of his driving and warrant status by dispatch.
Several seconds later I was informed by dispatch that Mumaw's driver license was expired as of 01-11-2021. It should be noted that this falls under the exemption dates for the Covid-19 pandemic. I then requested Ptl. Paterson to speak with the driver and ask for consent to search the vehicle while I wrote the citation.
Paterson returned several minutes later and advised that he noticed the nervous behavior from the two subjects as well and that Mumaw declined his request to perform a consent search on the vehicle.
Due to the behavior of the two subjects indicating possible criminal activity, I asked if Ptl. Stanton was available with K9 Radar, with him advising that he was not. I then wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032077 to Mumaw. I cited Mumaw for speed(Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03), for going 53 MPH in the marked 35MPH zone. I then returned to his vehicle where he signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 on the following business day for instructions on how to either pay the citation or contest it if he wished to do so.
Both units then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time.

Traffic Stop - E. Ohio Ave at MCC#3
Cited: Alberto Delavirgen, 32 y/o, 4424 Fernbrooke Rd, Las Vegas
Charges:
335.02 Denied Driver License
335.09 Display of License Plate
On 04/08/2021 at approximately 2239 hours, I (Ptl. Stanton), witnessed a white 4 door sedan travel East on Ohio Ave tram the itersection of 15th and Ohio. I got behind said vehicle and witnessed it did not have a visible license plate. While searching for a plate, I witnessed the vehicle briefly go over the solid double yellow line and go back into the appropriate lane. I then saw the vehicle go very close and briefly touching the solid white line as well. Unable to see a plate anywhere to the rear of the vehicle. I initiated the traffic stop at approximately 2243 hours. At this time we were outside of the Mahaning County Court #3 parking lot and the vehicle pulled into the lot and parked.
Upon my foot approach to the vehicle, I witnessed a male with a shirt on his had over his hat obscuring his face, I proceeded to ask for a license, insurance and registration of the vehicle. The driver explained he could not find any of it and I morioned to his dash where what looked to be a card of some kind. This was indeed his license.
After securing this, I explained why I stopped him. He acted surprised that he did not have a rear tag on his vehicle. He explained he bought the vehicle and is driving across country. At this time he produced a title to the vehicle and a hand written bill of sale stating he bought the vehicle.
I told the driver identified as Alberto Delavirgen to stay in his vehicle and look for license plate or tag as I went back to my cruiser. With further investigation, the driver is denied through Colorado court and a bench warrant was issued.
I began writing a citation and I called for another unit. Ptl. Peterman #507 arrived on scene as well for officer safety. The driver was out of his vehicle at this time and actively looking through his trunk and other doors for what I believe to be the temporary tag. I had Ptl. Peterman watch the subject while I completed the citation.
I issued Alberto a citation for No OL SCO 335.02 and Display of Plate SCO 335.09. I called for a tow of the vehicle at this time as well. Upon issuing the citation, the driver produced a temporary tag of the vehicle. This tag came back to a Barbara Mark out of Nevada. I explained that nothing is coming back to him as a rightful owner legally at this time and since he cannot drive due to no license, the vehicle is under police hold-it the tow yard. The driver became argumentative and demanded to gather his things and speak to my supervisor.
I inventoried the vehicle contents and the driver denied a consent to search. I explained the tow inventory and the driver was argumentative about it but stayed with Ptl. Peterman while I conducted the inventory. The driver then wanted to obtain objects from the vehicle.
The tow driver is waiting at this time for him to clear the vehicle for safety reasons and kept finding reason to re-enter it. After two bags and a small safe were secured, I ordered the driver to step away from the vehicle and stop impeding the tow driver from his job. The driver (Alberta) became increasingly argumentative as well. Alberto accused the Tow driver of stealing the key to the vehicle and it was determined a Key Fob was nearby and that was how the vehicle was able to start for the tow driver.
The driver then said the key must be somewhere in the vehicle and he doesn't know where it is (it is not on his person). After the tow driver secured the vehicle, Ptl. Peterman curtesy escorted the driver to a hotel in Alliance since he had no where to stay for the night.

Johnson Road and W, Ohio Avenue, I observed tan Chevrolet Cruze, that was traveling eastbound on W. Ohio Avenue, go through the intersection, without stopping for the posted stop sign or flashing red light. Upon witnessing this, I activated the patrol cars overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The tan Cruze, bearing Ohio registration HWU 4325, came to a complete stop in the 600 block of W. Ohio Avenue.
Upon approaching the vehicle and making 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 immediately began making statements about driving on an SR22 and not having his driver license on him. The driver was unable to produce any of the requested documents, but was able to provide me with his name, date of birth and social security number. The driver said that his name was Jacob Weese. When I asked if he had a valid driver license, Mr. Weese said that he did.
I then returned to my patrol car where I relayed the information that Weese provided me to dispatch. Ptl. Russell arrived on scene at this time as well. I was advised by dispatch that Weese was currently under three separate driver license suspensions. I then exited my patrol car and again approached Weese's vehicle.

Weese again began making statements about SR22's, Judge Zumbar, and that he should have an SR22 to drive. I then informed him that an SR22 is not a driver license and that we both know that.

On 03-13-2021 at 15:40 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While stationary in the parking lot of Trinity Lutheran Church, located at 930 N. 12th Street, I observed a tan Dodge Status traveling southbound on N. 12th Street that did not appear to have a visible registration tag.
The vehicle turned right from N. 12th street and began traveling westbound On E. Vermont Avenue. As I turned the corner in my patrol car, I noticed Brandon Green, who I know to have a suspended driver license, exiting the driver seat of the vehicle in the driveway of 366 E. Vermont Avenue. I also noticed that there was no visible registration on the vehicle.
I then pulled up behind the vehicle and made contact with Mr. Green. When I informed him that I was stopping him because he did not have any visible registration, he reached into the vehicle and pulled out a temporary Ohio registration tag that had been laying between the rear passenger seats and rear window. I also asked Green if his driver license was still suspended, with him saying that they were but he had driving privileges through East Liverpool.
Upon running this registration (K428397) through dispatch, I was advised that it belonged on 2003 a Ford truck that was registered to a David Gamble in East Liverpool, Ohio. I was also advised that the plates had expired on September 14,2020. In addition to this, I was advised that Mr. Green's license was suspended, that he did not have any driving privileges, and that he had been cited for driving under suspension three times within the last year and that there was a confiscation order placed on his driver license by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
At this point I also noticed the expiration date on the tags had whiteout covering the original date and Apr 12, 2021 being rewritten over it.
I then asked Green for his driver license, with him producing an Ohio identification card. I also asked green whose residence we were at, with him saying he believed it was his friend, Jesse Miller's house. At this point I received consent to conduct a pat-down of Green's person for weapons, I noted that he had a small folding pocked knife that I removed from his right pocket, with me advising him that I would be holding onto it for the duration of our encounter. Green also consented to a search of his pockets, with no contraband being found.
Ptl. Russell arrived to our location at around this time with me returning to my patrol car to write Mr. Green his citations. Mr. Green received Uniform Traffic Citation No's. 032020 and 032021. Mr. Green was cited for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11), Fictitious Plates (QRC 4549.08), and Display of License Plates (ORC 4503.21). Mr. Green signed the citations, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3.
An administrative inventory af the vehicle was conducted by Ptl. Russell with nothing of value being located not any weapons or contraband. After running the vehicles VIN number through dispatch, I was advised that it was showing up as still being registered to a Doris E. George of Alliance. The vehicle was then towed to Sebring Tire's impound lot, with a hold being placed on the vehicle.

TRAFFIC - 200 Block W. Texas Ave.
Cited: Joseph Nitz, 431 E. Grant St., Alliance, OH
Charge: SCO: 333.03 Speed(43/25)
On 03-07-2021 at 12:55 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While sitting stationary in front of the F.A. Sebring Community Center, located at 306 W. Texas Avenue, I observed a dark colored Chevrolet Cobalt traveling eastbound in the 400 block of W. Texas Avenue at a speed that was noticeably higher than that of the posted 25 MPH speed limit. Upon activating the patrol cars front-facing radar ahtenna, I obtained a locked speed of 43 MPH.
As the vehicle passed by me I activated the patrol cars overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The Black cobalt came to a stop in the 200 block of W. Texas Avenue, where I noted Ohio Registration JBL 3710 was attached on the back. I then approached and made contact with the male driver. Upon asking the driver if he was aware of his speed he said that he was not. When I requested his driver license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance, the driver was only able to produce the vehicles registration, with him identifying himself as Joseph W. Nitz.
Upon returning to my patrol car relayed Nitz's information to dispatch. After determining that Mr. Nitz was who he said he was, had a valid driver license, as well as no active warrants for his arrest, I began writing Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032018 to him. I cited Nitz for speed (Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03), for going 43 MPH in a marked 25 MPH zone.
I then returned to Nitz's vehicle where he was able to provide me with proof of up-to-date insurance. Nitz then signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to pay the citation or contest it if he wished to do so. I then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time.

On 01-16-2021 at 15:00 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 301.
While patrolling eastbound in the 300 block of E, Ohio Ave., I noticed that the vehicle in front of me, a later 1990's model Pontiac Sunfire that was green in color, did not appear to have a license plate attached to it.
Upon noticing this I activated my overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle slowed down before coming to a complete stop in the 400 block of E. Ohio. As my patrol car approached closer to the subject vehicle, I was able to notice what appeared to be an Ohio temporary tag that was positioned vertically at the far end of the rear window on the driver side. Due to the positioning of the tag, it was difficult to see and not in plain view . I did note that the registration numbers were K997418 as I got closer.
I then approached the vehicle and made contact with the male driver, I informed him of the reason for the stop as well as asked him for his Driver License, Vehicle Registration, and proof of insurance, I also noted a female subject in the front passenger seat who I know to be Kristina Tyson. The driver produced an Ohio Temporary Permit that identified him as Paul Michael Lee Bates.

I then returned to my patrol car and relayed both Bates's and Tyson's information to dispatch.
It was at this time discovered that Bates's Driver License had expired on 03-07-2020, but that he did have a valid Temporary Permit. It should be noted that the expiration of Bates's Driver License pre-dated the declared state of emergency for Covid-19. I was also advised by dispatch at this time that Tyson's Driver License was under and active suspension.
I then returned to the subject vehicle where I asked Tyson if she had a valid driver license, with her informing me that she did not and that her License was suspended. At this point I asked Paul if he understood that he could not drive on a Temporary Permit without a passenger who held a valid Driver License, with him advising me that he was. I then instructed Bates to exit the vehicle, with him complying with my request. I also asked for and received consent to conduct a patdown search of his person, with me also explicitly asking for and receiving consent to search his pockets. No weapons or contraband were located during this search.
I then asked Tyson to exit the vehicle and instructed her to speak with Ptl. Russel, who was standing on the passenger side of the vehicle. Tyson complied with my request as well. At this point I requested Sebring Tire to respond to my location as well as began an administrative inventory of the vehicle, with no weapons, contraband, or anything of significant value being located.
Sebring Tire arrived on scene several minutes later, with Mike Springer being the tow operator. It should be noted that I received the key to the vehicle from the keyring at Bates's request, with me leaving it in the vehicle's ignition and the other keys on the ring being given to Bates.

Upon arrival at 756 N. 15th St. I establised contact with the complainant, Dale Yaggi.

I asked Dale to show me the filing cabinet in the basement and upon inspection of the cabinet I observed tool marks on the lock. Dale stated in addition to the PNC card, an Amazon card was taken but the account has been closed for some time. Dale believes Jessica accessed the cabinet sometime either on the 30th or 31st of October when he allowed her to come to the residence to retrieve some belongings from a bedroom on the second floor.
A roommate of Dales was also present at the time of the report. I asked (roommate) when was the last time he saw Jessica and he advised he last saw her either Friday night (30th) or Saturday morning (31st). Dale stated he wanted to pursue charges against Jessica in this matter.

While I was in the left turn lane for the eastbound lane of travel on U.S. 62 at the intersection of S. 12th Street, a westbound gray Ford Fusion entered the lane attempting to turn left into Western Reserve Auto. As the vehicle proceeded further into the lane, I had to slow my patrol car to a near stop to avoid a collision.

Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver and advised him of the reason for the stop. 1 requested the driver's vehicle registration, proof of insurance as well as driver license . The driver was only able to produce an Ohio Identification Card, which identified him as Sebastian Francisco. Because Mr. Francisco spoke very little English, his front seat passenger, Juan P. Gomez, began attempting to communicate with me for him. Francisco however, did acknowledge that he did not have a driver license at this point, with this later being confirmed by dispatch. I then returned to my patrol car, requested a Smith Township unit to respond to my location, as well as began writing Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032008 to Francisco. Several minutes later, Sgt. Star, with the Smith Township Police Department, arrived to my location. I then returned to Mr. Francisco's vehicle, with him signing his citation, being provided a copy, as well as being informed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for instructions on further proceedings in the case. Francisco was cited for driver license required (SCO: 335.01) as well as driving within marked lanes (SCO:331.08). After giving Francisco the citation and instructions on how to properly address it, I requested all occupants out of the vehicle. I also advised dispatch to send Sebring Tire to my location to impound the vehicle. An administrative inventory was conducted with no weapons, contraband, or anything of value being located. Sebring Tire then arrived and began loading the vehicle on their truck. A Mascos Cruz, who spoke fluent English also arrived at this time to give Francisco and his passengers a ride home.

Stanton), initiated a traffic stop on Ohio Ave near 15th street. I initiated said stop due to witnessing a white Honda SUV having only one operational stop light when stopped at the intersection. The driver (Ronald Handy) stated he just purchased the vehicle and was not aware of the vehicles faulty light. After running the vehicles license plate through Sebring Dispatch, I was informed the plate belongs to a black GMC truck. I reverified this information and approached Ronald again to discuss the discrepancy. Ronald admitted to previously owning a blue Dodge Truck before this vehicle (a white Honda SUV). I asked if Ronald had a proof of purchase and he stated it was at the shop in Salem which he came from. Ronald had no other information besides an old registration found in the vehicle from the rightful owner. I verified that the vehicle was not reported stolen at this time. I issued Ronald a citation for the stoplight, Sebring ORD: 337.24 (MM) - Ticket # 031383. Ronald was also told he has a mandated court appearance since he does not have proof of ownership and no proof of insurance at this time. I explained that the vehicle should be towed and Ronald be cited for Fictitious Plates as well to Ronald.

But if he does not own the vehicle the court may place a hold on the vehicle or take ownership of it. Further explaining the confusion and I cannot just let this go but I do not want to cause unneeded cost to the driver. Ronald was understanding and cooperative through out the stop and very pleasant.

Ashley, who is the manager at the bank, brought over a copy of the transactions showing various amounts from $5.00-$200.00 being sent to a Cash App account in the named Haley Howard. Adding up to $2,961.00 which is not the final amount but what was noticed today. According to Sally, she approved $1,000 dollars to be sent to Haley to help one of her friends out, which was not added to the total sum of money taken. Then following the transaction, after Haley had the access to her grandmother's account she could then transfer more money to her cash app account. She also changed the phone number on the account from hera grandmother's number to her own phone number. Sally stated that Haley has stolen from her before and she thought she has learned her lesson from last time. Sally is 80 years old making this a crime against a protected class and felony 4.

Mutchler was unable to provide me with the number that had been changed on the account, seeing as it had been corrected. After leaving Huntington Bank, I went to 625 W, Maryland Avenue to speak with Haley Howard about the incidents. Upon arriving at the residence, I met Haley at the front door. I advised Haley that the reason that i was there was to speak to her about the money that had been transferred from her grandmother's bank account to the Cash App bearing her (information) , her saying that she understood when I asked. Haley also sald that she was willing to speak to me regarding the matter. Haley went on to say that her grandmother had agreed to transfer $1000.00 from her bank account to Haley's CashApp to help a family friend. Haley said that in order to do this, she linked her grandmothers bank account to her CashApp and then unlinked it immediately afterwards. Haley said that she then linked her Direct Express card to the CashApp, which is how she receives government benefits for her son, as well as received a monetary transfer from her mother using the app. Haley said that she was unsure how her grandmothers card stayed linked to the account and that she never relinked the accounts. Any money that was transferred afterwards Haley said she believed was not coming out of her grandmother's account. Haley then gave me a voluntary witness statement detailing what she had told me.

When I asked what other income she had, Haley said that she rents out a house that was owned by her deceased father, with all but approximately $100.00 of that money going to the mortgage on the house. I then expressed to Haley that I did not believe what she was telling me the truth and that I believe her funds would have ran out and not allowed her to continue drawing money out. Haley then said that she didn't mean to steal money from her grandmother and initially only took out $100.00 with the intent of paying her back. Haley went on to say that she has a gambling problem, and "was really not trying to do her any wrong". Haley then said that she and her grandmother had sat at the kitchen table and totaled up the amount of money Haley had taken from her account,with it totaling up to around $2981.00. Haley said that she had not realized she had taken this much money until her grandmother came in the house one morning asking what she had done and saying that her debit card was not working.

When I asked Haley how much money she was taking out at a time, she said she had taken increments of $25.00, $5.00 $75.00, and $100:00. When I asked if she would like to add what she had just disclosed to me in her witness statement she said that she would.

The vehicle, a light blue Chrysler Town & Country (Ohio EVK4948) came to a complete stop an W Ohio Ave at N 18th St. Upon establishing contact with the driver, later identified as Justin Franko, I identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop. In addition to the driver, I observed a male passenger in the front seat and a male passenger in the back seat. While I was interacting with the driver, Patrolman Melendez was interacting with the male passenger in the front seat. The driver was unable to produce his Ohio driver's license when requested and provided his identification information verbally. The driver appeared to be acting abnormally, did not appear to be focused and would not answer my questions right away, prompting me to repeat myself multiple times. The driver initially identified himself as XXXX provided his actual date of birth and last four of his social security number. It turns out XXXX was actually his juvenile brother who was sitting in the back seat. We discovered XXXX was under the age af 18 during the course of our investigation and observed him smoking a cigarette during the traffic stop. The initial information provided by Justin was relayed to dispatch who would later advise nothing was coming back on the return. Patrolman Melendez snapped his fingers above the car and pointed down towards the front cupholders. I observed an open 24oz can of Twisted Tea sitting in one of the cup hoiders. I asked Justin about the can and recieved a blank stare with no response. I instructed Justin to turn the I vehicle off and to remove the keys from the ignition. Justin promptly complied with my instructions. At this time, I requested for additional cover units to respond to our location. Patrolman Melendez instructed the front seat passenger, later identified as Logan Franko, to get out of the vehicIe and secured him on the curb. Sergeant Kelm and Patrolman Peterman arrived on scene shortly thereafter to assist. XXXXwas instructed to get out of the vehicle and while doing so, continued to retain control of the cigarette and smoke it in front of us before finally putting it out after being instructed to do so. After Logan and XXXX were removed from the vehicle, I instructed Justin to exit the vehicle and patted him down for weapons (pocket knife secured). All three occupants were instructed to sit an the curb. The right front and rear passenger doors were left open after Logan and XXXX were instructed to get out. Officers were able to observe several open 24oz cans of Twisted Tea in both the front and rear of the vehicle at this time.

Stanton was also already on scene and Sebring Fire/EMS toned out. Upon making contact with both adult female occupants of the Forester, Catherine Smith, who was the driver and Mary Hoy, who was the front seat passenger, both denied injury.

I activated my overhead emergency lights, audible siren and turned west onto W Ohio Ave., after the vehicle to intitiate a traffic stop. The vehicle, a dark green Ford bearing Ohio registration HVK3170, pulled into a parking lot in front of 146 W Ohio Ave., and came to a complete stop. Before I could update dispatch of my location and the vehicle I observed the driver begin to exit. I immediately exited my vehicle and ordered the driver to stay in thevehicle. The driver, an older white male, continued to step out of the vehicle, failed to follow lawful commands to remain in and get back in the vehicle. After the driver failed to obey Iawful commands and because I could not ihitially see his hands, I un-holstered my duty weapon and gave the drlver lawful commands to show me his hands. The driver began to slur his speech and stated he did nothing wrong. I requested dispatch to send additonal officers to my location and as I had one at gunpoint. I ordered the driver to face his vehicle and place his hands on the roof. While giving commands to the driver, I observed a second vehicle pull into an adjacent parking lot and sit there facing the stop. After several attempts the driver finally complied and I continued to hold him at gunpoint while addtional officers began to arrive on scene. Switching to less-than-lethal, I drew my X26P Taser and ordered the driver to face away from me and place his hands behind his head. The driver was placed in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/double locked). As soon as I got close to the driver. I could detect a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. After the driver was safely cuffed, I asked how much he had to drink tonight and he answered two beers. I advised the driver the odor he was giving off smelled a lot more than two beers. Even with the driver handcuffed behind his back and me holding onto his left arm, I observed he was having mild dificulty standing straight up. The driver protested his detention and I advised the reason for the stop was because he blew the red flashing traffic light on E Ohio Ave at N 15th St. The driver argued he slowed down and came to a stop. While standing with the driver next to his vehicle, other officers tended to the second vehicle parked in the adjacent lot. I asked the driver several times, if I removed the handcuffs, would he be willing to consent to field sobriety tests. This question went unanswered as the driver said nothing and stared straight ahead. I was able to get a look at the driver's eyes and observed them to be bloodshot and glassy. At one point, the driver slurred he was scared and did not know what to do. I again asked him several more times, if I removed the handcuffs, wouid he be willing to submit to field sobriety tests. The driver again failed to answer and was informed he was under arrest far suspicion of OVI. The driver was searched incident to arrest for weapons, subsequently escorted to marked unit #304 and secured in the rear of the vehicle. Property found on the driver's person was placed on the roof of his vehicle. Sergeant Kelm and Patrolman Brindack assisted with the administrative vehicle inventory while I informed dispatch to summon a tow truck to the scene and to log one male in custody. The driver of the second vehide was released from the scene after it was determined by other officers she was a friend of arrestee. After checking the driver's property found on his person and not being able to locate any kind of identification, I obtained the driver's name, date of birth and subsequently ran that Information through dispatch. While speaking to the driver, I observed his eyes were getting progressively more bloodshot and glassy. Dispatch confirmed the information provided and the driver, Thomas Davis, was suspended. Sargeant Kelm offered to remain on scene for the tow truck so I could transport Davis back to the station to begin processing. K-9 Patrolman Stanton, Patrolman Brindack and Peterman cleared the scene and I transported Davis to the Sebring Police Department. Upon arrival, Davis was escorted into the audio/video recorded squad room to begin the 20 minute 0bservation period (00:07 to 00:29). Sergeant Kelm arrived at the station following the tow to stand as witness to the reading of the BMV 2255. Davis was taken out of handcuffs and provided a copy of the BMV 2255 to follow along as I read it to him. At the conclusion of reading the BMV 2255 I asked Davis if he understood what was read to him. Davis appeared confused at first and I had to briefly re-iterate what was read to him. I asked Davis if he was willing to submit to to a chemical test(s) and Davis was unable to provide a definitive answer. After going back and forth with Davis he intitally said no but sounded unsure. I gave Davis a second chance to answer more confidently and he agreed to submit to a chemical test. While I tended to the 2255 form Sgt Kelm prepared the intoxilizer 8000. A check of Davis' driving record shows OVI convictions in 2016, 2011 and 2010, a dismissed OVI conviction in 2006. I informed Davis the test results showed a BrAC of 0.209 and that he was over the legal limit of 0.08. I informed Davis he was now under administrative license suspension and although he was already under suspension before he absolutely cannot operate a motor vehicle going forward. Davis was given multiple opportunities to call for a ride and was successful in getting in touch with someone to pick him up. As Patrolman Peterman was attempting to fingerprint Davis, he began to show signs of extreme discomfort and pain in his right wrist. I offered multiple times for EMS to come and check him out and he declined each time. Due to Davis' right wrist allegedly hurting and the prints not showing up on the scanner, it was decided to abandon fingerprinting. Davis was able to provide a signature on the BMV 2255 and was provided a copy. Davis was also provided a copy of the Intoxilyzer 8000 test results as well as a copy of traffic citation #031924 (ORC 4511.19A1A, ORC 4511.19A1H, ORC 4510.11 and ORC 4511.12).

Davis was provided a recognizance of the accused and informed due to COVID-19 restrictions, I could not set a court date for him; the clerk of courts would be in contact with him at a later date to set his arraignment. Davis signed two copies of the recognizance of the accused without issue and was provided a copy. Davis was escorted into the lobby by other officers where his ride was waiting to pick him up.

Marchionda #505 9.25.2020 ************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT September 27, 2020 @ 0107hr Case No.: 20009130 TRAFFIC Near 20040 Harrisburg Westville Rd CITED: Amber Shoemaker , age 27 6915 Nimishillen Ch St, Louisville, OH 4464 Charges: ORC 4513.05 IIlumination of Rear License Plate ORC 4511.19A1A OVI (SFST) ORC4511.19A1B OVI (0.08<0.17) Sunday, September 27,2020 While facing west in the parking lot of Perkins, 20040 Harrisburg-Westville Rd, I observed a red truck turn west onto Harrisburg-Westville Rd from Knox School Rd. As the vehicle continued west, I observed the rear license plate was not illuminated. I pulled out of the parking lot onto Harrisburg-Westville Rd behind the vehicle and activated my overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop, The vehicle, a red Chevrolet Silverado bearing Ohio registration PFM7434, came to a complete stop just west of the Oak Ridge Motel. Upon establishing contact with the driver, identified as Amber Shoemaker, I identified myself and informed her of the reason for the stop. While speaking with Shoemaker, I could detect a very faint odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from within the vehicle. Using my flashlight, I illuminated the rear interior of the truck and observed a box of Busch Light and several closed and open cans scattered about. I asked Shoemaker if she had been drinking and if she had open containers in the vehicle. Shoemaker denied drinking but admitted there were several empty cans of beer in the back of the truck. I instructed Shoemaker to exit the vehicle and stand in between her truck and my cruiser while I checked to see if the open cans were in fact empty or not. I pulled approximately 5-6 cans of Busch Light from the rear of the truck and observed very small amounts of liquid still in them. I approached Shoemaker, stood close to her and asked her again if she had been drinking. This time, when she answered no, I was able to detect a more distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath. Shoemaker had a pet dog with her at the time of the stop and I asked her to secure the dog in the truck while I asked her more questions. The more I interacted with Shoemaker, the more obvious signs of alcohol impairment began to show. Shoemaker's eyes started to become more bloodshot as time went on and the alcoholic beverage odor on her breath was becoming stronger. Shoemaker finally admitted to drinking a couple beers earlier at the tractor pull. I asked her to clarify how many beers is a couple beers and she answered five. I turned off my front facing emergency lights and asked Shoemaker if she would be willing to submit to a series of field sobriety exercises to determine whether or not she was impaired. Shoemaker agreed to perform the standardized field sobriety tests. I asked Shoemaker if she had any pre-existing medical conditions, recent surgical operations and if she wore contacts / glasses. Shoemaker answered no to all three questions. Shoemaker was sitting on the rear bumper of her truck before I began to administer SFSTs. As I instructed Shoemaker to stand up away from the truck, feet together with her hands at her sides, I did observe her mildly struggle with her balance. With a flashlight pointed down above her head, I placed a stimulus (extended handcuff key) approximately 12-15 inches in front of her face slightly above eye level. I instructed Shoemaker to follow the stimulus with her eyes and her eyes only, keeping her head still, while standing as instructed earlier. While checkhg for equal pupil size, I did not observe resting nystagmus. WhiIe checking equal tracking, Shoemaker moved her head and was corrected. The following dues were observed in both the right eye and left eye during HGN (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus): lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation (4 seconds), onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees (onset prior to edge of shoulder). All three were conducted twice for verification. I relocated Shoemaker to the front of her truck so she would have more room to perform the walk and turn. I instructed Shoemaker to stand on the very edge of the right shoulder line where the surface was most flat. Instructions for walk and turn were provided verbally, visually and acknowledged by Shoemaker. During walk and turn, the following clues were observed: Shoemaker did not walk heel-to-toe for some of the steps forward and back, Shoemaker raised her arms more than 6" at least two times for balance, shoemaker did not execute the turn as instructed. Realizing I had forgot to administer VGN (Vertical Gaze Nystagmus) following HGN, I instructed Shoemaker to stand with her feet together, hands at her sides, follow the stimulus with her eyes only, and to keep her head still. I raised the stimulus above Shoemakers head and observed vertical gaze nystagmus in both eyes while I held the stimulus above her head for approximately five seconds. I brought the stimulus back down to eye level and held it above her head again for five seconds and again observed vertical gaze nystagmus in both eyes. For one leg stand, instructions were provided verbally, visually and acknowledged by Shoemaker. The following clues were observed: Shoemaker put her left foot down 3 times during the test. I informed Shoemaker based on her performance and my observations, I would be placing her under arrest for operating a vehicle while impaired. Since Shoemaker had her dog with her, I retrieved the truck's keys from her and allowed her to make a phone call for a friend to pick the dog up from the scene. After successfully contacting a friend, Shoemaker emptied her pockets and placed the contents on the rear bumper of the truck. Shoemaker was placed in handcuffs behind her back (gapped/double locked) and secured in the backseat of marked unit #304. I notified dispatch to log the female driver in custody, send a cover unit and to have a tow truck summoned to the scene. Shoemaker's personal effects were collected and secured in the front seat of the vehicle. Patrolman Peterman arrived an scene to conduct the administrative vehicle invenrory and to standby for the tow. Shoemaker's Friend arrived on scene shortly thereafter to take custody the dog. Shoemaker was transported from the scene to the Sebring Police Department for processing. After arriving at the station, Shoemaker was escorted into the audio/video recorded squad room and taken out of handcuffs. K-9 Patrolman Stanton stood by while I read the BMV 2255 to Shoemaker. At the conclusion of reading the 2255 to Shoemaker, I asked if she understood what was read to her and if she was willing to submit to chemical test(s); Shoemaker stated yes. The twenty minute observation period was conducted from the time I brought her into the squad room (01:21 to 01:41) until the time I brought her to the Intoxilyzer 8000 room. Shoemaker provided two breath samples and was brought back into the squad room. Shoemaker provided her signature on the BMV 2255 Form as did K-9 Patrolman Stanton for being the witness. I obtained the printout from the Intoxilyzer 8000 and provided a copy to Shoemaker. I informed Shoemaker her BrAC of 0.097 exceeded the prohibited concentration of alcohol (0.08) and seized her driver's license. I informed Shoemaker she was now under administrative license suspension and could not operate a motor vehicle going forward. I informed Shoemaker she would have to obtain driving privileges from the court at a later date. Shoemaker was provided a copy of the 2255, traffic citation #031922 (ORC 4511.19A1A, ORC 4511.19A1B and ORC 4513.051, and a signed copy of the recognizance of the accused. I informed Shoemaker due to COVID-19 restrictions, the court would contact her regarding her mandatory appearance at a later date. I advised Shoemaker if she had any questions, to contact the clerk of courts at the number found at the bottom of the citation. I also advised Shoemaker to bring proof of insurance when she went to court. Shoemaker was given her personal effects back and subsequently escorted to the front lobby of the station to wait for her ride. Patrolman D.A.

Pennsylvania Ave. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #505 9.12.2020 Immediately after reviewing the call from dispatch, I retrieved my patrol rifle and initiated an expedited emergency response to 205 E Pennsylvania Ave. Upon arrival, I located the victim, Melissa Kastenhuber, outside the residence and escorted her to the rear of my patrol vehicle out of sight of the residence. Kastenhuber was visibly shaken, upset and crying. I notified dispatch to have EMS stage at their station as the victim had visible injuries to her face and right leg. Ptl. Russell arrived on scene shortly thereafter and I requested mutual aid response from Smith Township due to the potential presence of a firearm. Ptl. Russell and I took up cover behind marked unit #301 with our weapons trained on the house and used the PA speaker to make contact with the suspect, William Dawson. Kastenhuber advised us earlier he was still inside the house with a shotgun and that he had pointed it at her. As Smith Township Patrolman Caughey arrived on scene to assist, Dawson emerged from the east side of the house with his arms raised and hands visible. With weapons trained on Dawson, officers ordered him to walk back while keeping his arms raised and hands visible. With lethal cover from Ptl Caughey and Russel switched to less-lethal and trained my X26P Taser on Dawson while he was placed in handcuffs behind his back (gabped/double-locked). A search of Dawson person produced two folding knives and a glass pipe with an unknown burnt residue. Dawson was placed in the rear of marked unit #301 and advised he was detained pending further investigation. Sebring Fire Medic-1 was given the green light to enter the scene at this time to attend to Kastenhuber who was sitting In the tailgate of marked unit #304. I acquired verbal consent from Kastenhuber to enter the residence, retrieve the shotgun as well any other weapons. Ptl. Russell remained in the ambulance with Kastenhuber to get her side of what happened prior to our arrival. Ptl. Caughey remained on scene and assisted with scene control while I secured the glass pipe and knives securing them in marked unit #304. Before entering the rear entrance of the residence, I observed a butterfly knife on the ground on the east side of the residence where Dawson had emerged. The butterfly knife was also secured in marked unit #304. As I approached the rear of the residence, I observed broken glass on the porch and shattered windows on the back door. I announced myself twice before entering the residence with my weapon drawn. During the course of searching the first floor, I observed signs of a disturbance with more shattered glass on the kitchen floor and other items scattered about. As I entered the living room, I located a sawed-off single shot shotgun with a modified taped grip sitting on the couch next to a grey bag that appeared to contain additional shotgun shells. A check of the weapon found the gun to be loaded with a single live Winchester 12ga 3" Magnum shell. The weapon was subsequently cleared, the live round recovered and both items were secured in marked unit #304. I returned and subsequently secured the the bag containing additional shotgun shells in marked unit #304. Out of sight of the victim, I asked Ptl, Russell over the radio if Kastenhuber could describe the shotgun that was pointed at her. Ptl. Russell advised Kastenhuber described the shotgun as shorter than normal and black in color. I requested dispatch to run Dawson's CCH for prior felony and/or domestic violence convictions. Dispatch confirmed through LEADS Dawson was charged and convicted of improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle. Ptl. Russell provided me the details of what Kastenhuber had told her. According to Ptl. Russell, Kastenhuber had been assaulted in the bathroom and after managing to get out of the house, Dawson pointed the shotgun at her through the door. After receiving this information, I opened the rear driver door of #301 where Dawson was placed and advised him of his Miranda Rights. Dawson acknowledged his Miranda Rights and advised he was not willing to waive them to make a statement. Dawson was informed he was under arrest for at least one charge of domestic violence and having weapons while under disability. Per department policy regarding felony charges, Sergeant Kelm and Chief Harris were notified immediately. Kastenhuber signed an against medical advice waiver and refused to go to the hospital to get checked for her injuries. I provided Kastenhuber with a voluntary written statement packet and and asked her if she would be able to provide a written statement at this time. The packet was explained, to her and she agreed to provide a statement. I advised Ptl, Caughey his assistance was no longer needed and he could clear. According to Kastenhuber's written statement Dawson had berated her earlier this morning and throughout the day. During the early evening hours Kastenhuber took a shower and was subsequently pushed into the shower/tub and struck in the head with a "copper thing" (sic). Kastenhuber stated after she pushed him out of the bathroom, she got dressed and went downstairs to get out of the house. According to Kastenhuber Dawson shut the door and pointed a gun at her head when she attempted to re-enter the rear of the residence, breaking the back door windows. Kastenhuber was provided a domestic violence complaint packet and signed the statement of complaint. Kastenhuber also provided her signature on the authorization for release of medical information earlier in the ambulance in the event she did go to the hodpital. Kastenhuber signed the instructions for filing domestic violence and was provided a copy. Photographs were taken of Kastenhuber's forehead where she was struck and of her right leg where dried blood spots were visible. Additional photographs were also taken inside the bathroom where it was evident a disturbance had taken place. Ptl. Russel transported Dawson to the station for processing while I transported the evidence. Following our arrival at the station, Dawson was escorted into the video/audio recorded squad room where he was kept in handcuffs due to the circumstances and was provided a face mask, I advised Dawson he could have the cuffs removed in the event he wanted to make a phone call or go to the restroom. Dawson was read the charges against him: ORC 2903.11 Felonious Assault (F-2), ORC 2923.13 Having Weapons While Under Disability (F-3) ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence (M-1). The handcuffs were removed during processing so Dawson could be photographed, thumb printed and DNA collected for the felony charges. According to his CCH, there was no DNA sample on file from his prior felony arrest and conviction. Dawson was informed due to the felonious assault charge his bond would have to be set by a judge and he would be transported to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown. Dawson was allowed to use the restroom and given the opportunity to place a phone call but did not because he did not know any numbers to call off hand. Dawson's personal property was collected and gathered into a manila envelope. Among Dawson's property was $52 in cash (2-$20 US bills, 2-$5 US bills, 2 -$1 US bills). A more thorough and pat dawn of Dawson's person and clothing was conducted before being placed back in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/double-locked). All jail paperwork was completed and Ptl.

The glass pipe with the unknown burnt residue will be sent to BCI for further processing and testing. The knives were all bagged together and the shotgun shells were secured separately from the shotgun. Due to the Marlin Model 200's barrel and grip being cut down, I am going to recommend the Bureau of Alcohol & Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives be notified. Patrolman D.A.

Additional photographs were also taken inside the bathroom where it was evident a disturbance had taken place. Ptl. Russel transported Dawson to the station for processing while I transported the evidence. Following our arrival at the station, Dawson was escorted into the video/audio recorded squad room where he was kept in handcuffs due to the circumstances and was provided a face mask, I advised Dawson he could have the cuffs removed in the event he wanted to make a phone call or go to the restroom. Dawson was read the charges against him: ORC 2903.11 Felonious Assault (F-2), ORC 2923.13 Having Weapons While Under Disability (F-3) ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence (M-1). The handcuffs were removed during processing so Dawson could be photographed, thumb printed and DNA collected for the felony charges. According to his CCH, there was no DNA sample on file from his prior felony arrest and conviction. Dawson was informed due to the felonious assault charge his bond would have to be set by a judge and he would be transported to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown. Dawson was allowed to use the restroom and given the opportunity to place a phone call but did not because he did not know any numbers to call off hand. Dawson's personal property was collected and gathered into a manila envelope. Among Dawson's property was $52 in cash (2-$20 US bills, 2-$5 US bills, 2 -$1 US bills). A more thorough and pat dawn of Dawson's person and clothing was conducted before being placed back in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/double-locked). All jail paperwork was completed and Ptl. Russell transported Dawson from the Sebring Police Department to the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown. All evidence was photographed, logged and secured in an evidence locker. The glass pipe with the unknown burnt residue will be sent to BCI for further processing and testing. The knives were all bagged together and the shotgun shells were secured separately from the shotgun.

I activated my overhead emergency lights and parked my cruiser on N 16th St ,at W. Ohio Ave and motioned for Noah to walk to me when it was safe to do so. As Noah approached, I observed Noah's grandmother, Alice Rinehart, in her vehicle and motioned for her to proceed through the intersection and turn around. I asked Noah why he was crossing the street in his socks and he replied "l'm going to Angies" [sic] (Angela Pierce of E Indiana Ave). I informed Noah he cannot keep walking/ running off from his mother, grandmother and going to Angie's house was not allowed. At this time, Alice Rinehart pulled up behind my cruiser and I motioned for her to exit and approach. As Alice began to berate and yell at Noah, I provided her with a stern warning she, as well as Noah's mother Nicole Cutlip will face Endangered Children charges because their lack of duty of care provides a risk to Noah's safety. Alice began to complain and asked what is she supposed to do since Noah just wanders off whenever he feels like it.

Brown stated earlier this morning while taking trash out to her cans behind her residence, she discovered two white trash bags in her cans not belonging to her. Brown stated she received a message on Facebook Messenger from a neighbor, at 8:44 AM. In the message, It was conveyed by a neighbor observed Brandon Court carrying trash bags away from his residence and down the alley towards Brown's residence. Brown "screen shot" the message and emailed it to my department email. While walking down to 545 W Ohio Ave where I knew Court resided I requested dispatch to perform a warrant check. Dispatch advised had an active warrant through Stark County Sheriffs Office. Court came to the door after I knocked and when he opened it, I stated "there are some trash bags down the street at one of your neighbors ' that don't belong to her". Before I could finish speaking Court, admitted the bags belonged to him and that he had put them in the trash cans. I asked Court if I could step inside and he granted me access inside of his residence. Court stated he knew he was probably getting arrested because he already knew about the warrant. I informed Court he did in fact have a warrant through Stark County and I would be taking him into custody. I allowed Court to perform some housekeeping tasks and smoke a cigarette due to his calm demeanor and cooperation. I read Court his Miranda Rights in regards to the theft of services and he acknowledged them as well as waiving them to answer any further questions I had. Court was placed in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/double locked), patted down for weapons, and escorted to marked unit #301. Court stated due to a previous surgery on his back, being cuffed from behind and having to sit down causes him great discomfort and pain. I granted Court's request to be cuffed In the front (gapped/double locked) and placed him in the rear of marked unit #301. I informed dispatch I had Court in custody pending confirmation from Stark County Sheriffs Office and to log Miranda. After securing Court in the cruiser, I provided Brown with a statement packet and asked her to write down what happened and if she wanted to file theft charges. Brown provided a written statement and verbally conveyed to me she wanted to pursue charges against Court. I established contact with Brown's neighbor. l informed of the situation and asked if she saw anything. Stated she had video evidence of Court carrying trash bags away from his house and showed me one of the clips from earlier this morning from her home security system. .....emailed 8 video clips to my department email after I viewed one of them showing Court walking away from his residence carrying two white trash bags. I saw similar white trash bags in Court's residence earlier. I cleared from the scene and transported Court to the station to retrieve a face mask for him and provided dispatch with the key to his residence. Dispatch subsequently advised Stark County would be sending a Sheriff's Deputy to meet me at Duke and Duchess on US HWY 62. I gave the face mask to Court for him to put on and transported him to meet with Stark County. While Court was In the backseat of the cruiser, he voluntarily stated he has been trying to clean the house up and because he does not have trash service, he did not think it would be a big deal to put his trash in someone else's cans, especially because there was room. Right before the exchange of custody with Stark County, I informed Court a summons would be drafted for theft and delivered to him at a later date. After the Sheriffs Deputy from Stark County took custody of Court, I informed him I would be faxing a summons to the Sheriffs Office at a later time.

Ohio Ave. Charge: 2917.11 Disorderly Conduct On 07/17/2020 while on patrol I observed a quickly escalating argument unfolding In the parking lot of Circle K 205 E Ohio Ave. Upon making contact with the two parties Kandy Fredrick and James Kaminski arguing I quickly separated the two at which point my other two units Ptl. Stanton 506 and Ptl. Van Voorhis 519 were arriving on scene. I asked Ptl. Stanton to speak with Circle K employee to see if they had seen what happened and I had Ptl. van Voorhis speak with James while I spoke with Kandy. The following are the stories we received. Kandy Fredricks advised to me that sometime ago James saw her pick up a gentleman walking on the side of the road. The individual happened to be black. Later on, at some point James entered her place of employment which is Dollar General in Beloit and questioned her on why she picked up a black man. According to Kandy James then yelled "white power" and began using the N word. That incident occurred outside of our jurisdiction. On this date when James saw Kandy, she advised he began screaming 'white power" and using the N word again in the middle of Circle K. Kandy then pulled out her phone to record the event which is when the argument moved outside. Circle K employees advised Ptl. Stanton a similar story. According to their account James entered the store and loudly began yelling "white power" and used the N word several times. They advised this action offended them and that James was no longer allowed in Circle K. They also advised that when they asked James to leave he defended his actions and &as arguing with them as well. Simultaneously James advised to Ptl. Van Voorhis that he did yell white power and use the N word because he is retaliating against Kandy because she once called him a "Nigger Hater". James and his wife Amanda admitted that James was wrong and shouldn't be using such words, he also said he said he would willingly never return to Circle K. Statements were obtained from Kandy, and Circle K employees. James refused to do a statement for Ptl. Van Voorhis. While on scene I felt James's action rose to the level of disorderly conduct. I contacted Chief Harris for his opinion and he advised that units should get the statements collect the facts and send everything for review by the prosecutor. If given approval by the prosecutor James could be cited for DOC at a later date. Circle K requested a Notice of restriction, James was verbally advised of said restriction and was told not to return to Circle K.

Ohio Ave. Charge: 2917.11 Disorderly Conduct On 07/17/2020 whlle on patrol I observed a quickly escalating argument unfolding In the parking lot of Circle K 205 E Ohio Ave. Upon making contact with the two parties Kandy Fredrick and James Kaminski arguing I quickly separated the two at which point my other two units Ptl. Stanton 506 and Ptl. Van Voorhis 519 were arriving on scene. I asked Ptl. Stanton to speak with Circle K employee to see if they had seen what happened and I had Ptl. van Voorhis speak with James while I spoke with Kandy. The following are the stories we received. Kandy Fredricks advised to me that sometime ago James saw her pick up a gentleman walking on the side of the road. The individual happened to be black. Later on, at some point James entered her place of employment which is Dollar General in Beloit hnd questioned her on why she picked up a black man. According to Kandy James ihen yelled "white power" and began using the N word. That incident occurred outside of our jurisdiction. On this date when James saw Kandy, she advised he began screaming 'white power" and using the N word again in the middle of Circle K. Kandy then pulled out her phone to record the event which is when the argument moved outside. Circle K employees advised Ptl. Stanton a similar story. According to their account James entered the store and loudly began yelling "white power" and used the N word several times. They advised this action offended them and that James was no longer allowed in Circle K. They also advised that when they asked James to leave he defended his actions and &as arguing with them as well. Simultaneously James advised to Ptl. Van Voorhis that he did yell white power and use the N word because he is retaliating against Kandy because she once called him a "Nigger Hater". James and his wife Amanda admitted that James was wrong and shouldn't be using such words, he also said he said he would willingly never return to Circle K. Statements were obtained from Kandy, and Circle K employees. James refused to do a statement for Ptl. Van Voorhis. While on scene I felt James's action rose to the level of disorderly conduct. I contacted Chief Harris for his opinion and he advised that units should get the statements collect the facts and send everything for review by the prosecutor. If given approval by the prosecutor James could be cited for DOC at a later date. Circle K requested a Notice of restriction, James was verbally advised of said restriction and was told not to return to Circle K.

Vermont Ave, Sebring OH Charge: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ORC 2919.25 (A) Narrative by Ptl. Reed #507 On 07-13-2020 at 28:15 hours Ptl. Peterman and I were dispatched to Circle K at 205 E. Ohio Avenue, regarding a report of a female subject who was assaulting a male. Upon arriving, I found a crowd of approximately a dozen people assembled outside of the business. As I approached, I asked what had happened, with a female employee of Circle K pointing to a female subject that was standing near the entrance to the store, who I know to be Sherrie Simpson, and saying that she was beating on a guy in a white car. When I asked Sinipson if the person who she had been fighting with was Patrick Levelle, she said that it was. It should be noted that I have handled domestic violence incidents between Simpson and Levelle in the past. I then placed Simpson in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked, before patting her down for weapons using the back of my hand. I noticed fresh cuts and blood on Simpsons hands at this time. I then secured Simpson in the back of Patrol car 301 so that I could determine who had witnessed the incident and what exactly they had seen. All agreed to provide voluntary witness statements detailing what they had seen. I was also advised that the male half was now at the far end of the parking lot in his vehicle. I then instructed Ptl. Peterman to gather information and statements from the witnesses so that I could speak to the male subject. Upon making contact with Patrick Levelle, who was sitting in a white Pontiac G8 at the other end of the parking lot, he advised that he had come to Circle K to get his dog from Simpson. Levelle said that Simpson had been drinking, left their house with the dog, and that she was trying to give it away at the store. Levelle said that he also went into the store to get cigarettes and upon coming out, got back into his vehicle, which was when he was approached by Simpson. Levelle said that Simpson then began striking him in his face and head through the open window of his car. Levelle also said that Simpson began striking the car as well, with her causing damage to the plastic rain guards on the driver side door. Pieces of the rain guards were laying in the parking spot where Levelle said that he had been parked at during the incident. When I asked Levelle if he were injured or needed medical treatment, he said that he was okay and was not injured. He also confirmed that he and Simpson still cohabitate together as boyfriend and girlfriend. I then briefly stepped away from Levelle so that I could check on what the witnesses had to say. While doing this, I overheard Simpson screaming profanities at Levella from the back of my patrol car. Because of this, I instructed Levelle to wait for me in the parking lot of Gionino's pizza. I also moved my patrol car to a parking spot. While in my patrol car I spoke to Simpson, with me reading her her Miranda rights. When I asked Simpson what had happened, she would only say that "it doesn't matter". In speaking with the above listed witnesses, they all advised that Simpson had been at the store for approximately 45 minutes with the dog, that she was trying to give it away, and that Levelle had come to get the dog. The witnesses said that Simpson had approached Levelie while he was in his vehicle and began hitting him and the car, causing the damage to the rain guards. None of the witnesses said that they had seen Levelle attempt to fight back, nor had he at any point hit Simpson. I was also advised that Simpson had been drinking a long island iced tea while she was at the store. I then went back to speak with Levelle in the parking lot of Gionino's. Levelle signed the domestic violence complaint form as well as provided me with a witness statement detailing his side of events. When I asked if he wished to pursue criminal damaging charges for the damage that Simpson had done to his car, he said no, and that he believed she would be in enough trouble with the domestic violence charge. I then photographed the damage to Levelle's vehicle as well as a small amount of blood that was on the driver side door and that Levelle said he believed was from Simpson cutting herself while punching the car. Levelle then signed the domestic violence instruction form, with me tearing off a copy from the domestic violence packet and giving it to him. Levelle then left. Because the evidence indicating that Simpson was the sole aggressor in the incident she was placed under arrest for domestic violence. Upon returning to the police station I reviewed her computerized criminal history (CCH). Because of two or more convictions for domestic violence or assault being present, Simpson was charged with a third-degree felony count of domestic violence, Ohio Revised Code 2919.25(A). After being photographed and the necessary paperwork completed, Simpson was transported to the Mahoning County Jail. Due to the degree of the offinse bail will be determined by a judge. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

Upon activating my front facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed on the vehicle of 40 MPH. Once the vehicle passed me I activated my overhead emergency lights and positioned my patrol car behind it in order to intiate a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a stop at the intersection of Texas Avenue and South 15th Street. I then exited my patrol car, made contact with the single male driver, and informed him of the reason for the stop. Because of where we were stopped at possibly obstructing the flow of traffic, I instructed the driver to turn right on South 15th Street and pull several car lengths in. The driver followed my instructions, with me again approaching his car and making contact with him. When asked for his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance, the driver was able to produce an Indiana Driver License that identified him as Eliyah Payton. Mr. Payton was also able to produce his vehicle registration, but could not locate his insurance cards. Mr. Payton did however say that he keeps up to date insurance on the vehicle.

Morgan Ave. Alliance, OH 44601 Charge: ORC: 2925.11(C)(2) Possession of Controlled Substances (F-5) On 07-01-2020 at 22:59 hours a subject called the police station to report that a male subject in a silver sedan with temporary tags was "hitting a ball pipe" in the parking lot at Circle K. Patrolmen Brindack, Stanton, and I immediately preceded to this location, with me arriving shortly after Stanton and Brindack. As I pulled into the parking lot, I observed both officers standing outside a silver Cadillac CTS, which had Ohio temporary registration K466904 attached. The vehicle was occupied by a single male subject who was sitting in the passenger seat. Upon making contact with him, I advised him of the complaint that we had received and asked if he had any identification on him. The subject identified himself as Josh Williams (age 36), and advised that he and his friend had just pulled in and that his friend had gone inside the store. When I asked if there was anything illegal in the vehicle, Williams said that there was not. I also asked Williams if he would step out of the car. Williams then stepped out of the car, with him also granting me permission to perform a search of his person. No contraband or weapons were located. At this point, I also noticed another Silver sedan parked in the parking lot. This vehicle also had temborary tags attached to it. I then requested Ptl. Stanton to perform an open-air sniff with K9, Radar, on the Cadillac CTS. Stanton advised that Radar did indicate a positive hit on the vehicle. An open-air sniff performed on the other sedan in the parking lot yielded negative results. Ptl. Brindack then went and retrieved the vehicles driver, Fred Smith, from inside Circle K. In speaking with Mr. Smith, I informed hirn,of the complaint that we recieved as well as the fact that Radar had indicated that the odor of drugs was present in the vehicle. When advised of this, Smith said that he had smoked marijuana in the car earlier. Upon performing a probable cause search of the vehicle, I located four circular blue pills in the center console that were wrapped in aluminum foil. The pills were stamped "C1" and later determined to be 1mg Clonazapam, a schedule IV-controlled substance. I also found what appeared to be two THC cartridges near the pills. Mr. Smith did admit that this is what they were, with him saying that he smokes them through through a vape. When confronted with the pills, Smith said that they belonged to his girlfriend, Kristen, with him saying that she had left them there earlier and that she had a prescription for them. Smith's driver license was also found to be suspended. I informed Smith that because I had not encountered him driving on a public roadway, I would not issue him a citation for driving under suspension, but that he would need to get someone with a valid driver license to drive the car home. Smith then called a Delia Thompson, whom the vehicle was registered to, so that she could drive the car home. In speaking further with Smith about the pills, I asked for his girlfriend's name again. Smith then went through his phone, with him spelling out her name as Christina. When asked what her last name, was Smith said that he did not know and that he had only been talking to her for a couple of weeks. I advised Smith that I would be confiscating the pills and that should it be possible for his girlfriend to receive them back, they would receive a phone call from the police department. Delia Thompson then arrived to drive the Cadillac home. Smith was advised to contact the BMV regarding his driver license seeing as he said that he had paid a reinstatement fee and that his license should be valid. Thompson was advised that she needs to be sure that Smith's license is valid before allowing him to take a vehicle registered to her in the future or she could face wrongful entrustment charges. I then cleared from the call and returned to the police station. Upon writing the evidence cards for the confiscated pills and cartridges. I noted that only one of the two items I thought were THC cartridges were in fact that. The other item was a small glass container which appeared to possibly have residue of a crystalline substance inside. Both items will be secured in temporary evidence locker #1. The possibility of Mr. Smith facing charges for possessing the Clonazapan will be explored. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl. Reed #507 On 07/07/2020 at 23:45 hours, I served Fred Smith with a summons for possession of controlled substances Ohio Revised Code 2925.11(C)(2). I made contact with Fred at his friends apartment at 247 Hester Ave. in Alliance. Because Smiths Computerized Criminal History (CCH) showed that he had prior convictions for drug abuse offenses, this charge was elevated to a fifth degree felony. After giving Fred his copy of the summons he was advised to call the court as soon as possible to provided them with a working phone number. Fred was also made aware of his scheduled telephone arraignment at 10:30 AM on Jule 16th. Nothing additional at this time. Ptl.

The vehicle has one working stop light while engaging the brakes. After I initiated the traffic stop, I asked the driver and the owner who identified himself as Randy Phillips if I was allowed to search the vehicle. They both advised me no. l then asked if they had any nuclear devices or explosives in the vehicle at this the. They again advised no. I then asked them if they had any narcotics or forms of drugs in the vehicle, they again advised me no. At this time, Ptl. Brindack #504 and Sgt Kelm #503 were on scene. I then asked the driver to turn the vehicle off and exit the vehicle. The were asking why and I advised them that I will be conducting a "free air sniff' with my K-9 as I am the handler and for my K-9's Safety I require them to exit the vehicle, all four passengers complied. The owner of the vehicle, Randy Phillips was very upset about this and stated it was "bullshit" rnultiple times. Once all 4 individuals exited the vehicle I deployed K-9 Radar. Radar started from the rear of the vehicle and went to the passenger side, nothing was found. Keeping the leash loose in hand I walked with Radar to the front of the vehicle. Radars behavior began to change and he went under the vehicle into the engine compartment as I kept moving to the opposite side. Radar disengaged and began sniffing down the drivers side of the vehicle. Again Radars behavior changed and he went under the half way point of the vehicle to sniff the under carriage. This was brief as I kept moving toward the rear of the vehicle. Radar began moving with me then rapidly snapped backwards toward the sewage compartment and shower intake hose connector on the said vehicle. Radar locked and stood still staring at the shower intake as I praised him off. I moved toward the front of the vehicle and disengaged completely from the source. I then re-engaged and deployed radar along the drivers side of the vehicle to verify my source and moved along the side of the vehicle with the leash loose in hand. Radar again locked on the side of the vehicle next to a compartment next to the hose intake. Radar stood in place and locked his gaze on to the compartment. This change in behavior confirmed my findings and I praised him off to continue to the rear of the vehicle to finish the sniff. Radar at this time went to the the driver rear corner of the vehicle and led me back to the intake source (wraping around the drivers side of the vehicle) as previously stated. At this time I rewarded Radar and walked him back to secure him in my cruiser. I informed the four individuals K-9 Radar hit on the vehicle and I will be conducting a search given proper probable cause by my K-9. The owner again stated this is "bullshit" and began walking toward the vehicle. I instructed the owner to stay where he is at or he will be arrested. Throughout the search of the vehicle, every time I stepped out of the vehicle or around the vehicle in eye sight of the owner he attempted to move closer to open compartments for me. Sgt. Kelm and Ptl. Brindack also stated he offered to get a slice of pizza for them since they had some pizza in the vehicle. Upon searching the vehicle I discovered 7 grams of green leafy substance and various paraphernalia for grinding the green leafy substance.

Ohio Ave Sebring, OH 44672 ARREST: Dustin Stine (M-Age 22), 745 W. Oregon Ave. Sebring, OH Charge: ORC 2903.11(A)(1) Felonious Assault (F-2) On 06-23-2020 at 06:24 hours, I was requested at the police station to speak to a subject. Upon arriving, I met with a Tiffany Stine in the lobby area. A Hunter Harper and Branty Smith arrived shortly after. Tiffany had blood streaming down from her nose and she was also bleeding from a cut on her scalp. She was emotionally distraught and having trouble catching her breath to tell me what had happened. Tiffany was eventually able to explain to me that she had been assaulted by her brother, Dustin Stine, at their residence at 745 W. Oregon Avenue. Tiffany said that at around 06:00, she, her boyfriend, Hunter Harper, and their friend, Branty Smith, had gone to her house to pick up her brother to give him a ride to work. Prior to entering the residence Tiffany said that she could hear her brother throwing things in the house and screaming. Tiffany said that aside from her brother, no one else was in the house. Tiffany said that she and Harper then entered the house and that her brother was in his room with the door locked. Tiffany said that she knocked on the door and her brother opened it, with him then "getting in her face". Tiffany said that she pushed him back slightly and that he then began punching her in the face. Tiffany did say at this point that she "swung back", and that Harper attempted to intervene but was overpowered by Dustin, who then pulled her to the floor and continued striking her in the face and body. Tiffany said that everything went black at that point but she knew that she had been hit in the head with a picture frame. Sebring Fire/EMS arrived to assess Tiffany, with me speaking with and obtaining witness statements from Branty Smith and Hunter Harper. In speaking with Harper, he also advised that upon arriving to the residence they could hear Dustin inside screaming. Harper said that Tiffany entered the house first and that he could hear her saying "get away from me", with him then going inside and seeing Dustin punch Tiffany in the nose. Harper said that he got in between them and that Dustin then threw a picture frame at Tiffany that struck her in the head. Harper said that they then left and came to the police station. In speaking with Smith, he advised that he walked into Tiffany's house and saw her and Dustin fighting and that he began to try to break them up. Smith said that Dustin took Tiffany to the ground and that he saw him hit her in the face. Smith did say that upon getting up he saw Tiffany approaching Dustin, with Dustin then picking up a picture frame that he threw at Tiffany, striking her in the head. Smith said that they then left and came to the police station. A Timothy Billiter, who identified himself as Tiffany's step father arrived to the police station at around this time as well. Sebring Fire/EMS then transported Tiffany to Alliance Community Hospital for treatment. Prior to transporting her, I was able to get photographs of Tiffany's face, scalp, and marks that she had on her left arm. Upon arriving to the Emergency Department (E.D.), I again made contact with Tiffany, who was still very emotionally distraught. Tiffany was able to provide a witness statement as well as sign parts of the domestic violence complaint form and medical release form before medical staff came in to staple the wound on her scalp. Tiffany did state multiple times that she wanted her brother charged. Tiffany was provided with an instruction for filing domestic violence form as well. I then left the hospital to return to the village and attempt to locate Dustin. In speaking with Chief Harris on the phone, he advised that Mr. Billiter was going to bring Dustin in to the police station. Upon returning to the station, I met Dustin in the lobby area. Dustin accompanied me back to the squad room where I read him his Miranda rights and asked if he understood and if he would like to speak with me about the incident. Dustin said that he did understand and wanted to talk about what had happened. Dustin said that he and his sister began arguing because he would not go get cigarettes. Dustin said that Tiffany threatened to not give him a ride to work, and that he then closed his bedroom door and began slamming drawers. Dustin said that Tiffany, Smith, and Harper then left and returned a short time later, with Tiffany then coming to his bedroom door with a knife and asking him what he is breaking. Dustin said that Harper then placed himself between the two in an attempt to prevent an altercation, and that Tiffany began trying to work past Harper to hit him. Dustin said that while Tiffany was hitting him, he was able to grab the knife from her, with it then being thrown to the floor. Dustin said that he and Tiffany proceeded to the Kitchen where they continued to fight and that Tiffany was able to get the knife a second time, with her threatening to stab him. Dustin said that he again was able to take the knife from her and that things began to de-escalate. Dustin denied ever having thrown a picture frame at Tiffany and said that while she was attacking him, he pulled her by her hair and that she probably hit her head on something while this was happening. It should be noted that I did not observe any marks on Dustin aside from abrasions to his left knuckles as well as minor scratches between his thumb and pointer finger on his left hand. Dustin said that after taking the knife from Tiffany the second time that he hid it under some magazines on a desk in the office room of the house. When asked about prior incidents of violence between him and his sister he made mention of an incident that occurred approximately six months ago when his sister was abusing Xanax and assaulted their mother. A later check through the department dispatch system showed a domestic dispute between Dustin and his mother on 03/03/2020, a physical altercation between Dustin and his sister , and a physical altercation between Dustin and his mother's boyfriend on 03/08/2017. Due to the severity of Tiffany's injuries as well as evidence pointing to Dustin being the primary aggressor, I placed him under arrest for felonious assault, ORC 2903.11(A)(1). Dustin was placed in handcuffs which were properly spaced and double locked. I then began to complete the necessary arrest paperwork, with Dustin sitting on the other side of the desk from me in the squad room. Dustin began screaming that he should not be getting arrested. He then slammed his head into the desk several times, resulting in a cut to his forehead. I did pull Dustin away from the desk at this point to prevent further self-injury from occurring. Ptl. Villanueva arrived shortly after and Sebring Fire/EMS arrived to assess Dustin. After completing the necessary paperwork and being treated by Sebring Fire/EMS, I transported Dustin to The Mahoning County Jail. Once at the jail, medical staff rejected Dustin due to them requiring medical clearance from a hospital due to the wound on his head.

The pit bull belongs to Kimberly Brown of 515 N 19th street. The pit bull was dark in color and running north on 19th towards West Virginia ave and then east on West Virginia. I made contact at the residence with a juvenile male, son of Kimberly Brown. I explained his dog was loose and he stated, " I know". I asked him to retrieve the dog and he put his shoes on and came out to get the dog. The neighbor who called stated this was almost a weekly occurrence with the dog and the last time a neighbor grabbed it and returned it to them. Patrolman Marchionda also came over to assist in catching the dog and stated he knew there was a few times where they had been called out for this same incident. Eventually, Patrolman Marchionda was able to pull his cruiser in front of the dog and I was able to grab his collar and lead him back to the residence.

Oregon Ave. Sebring, OH Charges: ORC 2921.31 Obstructing Official Business (M2) / Bond $1,000 SCO: 373.06 Lights and Reflectors on Bicycles At 22:31 hours, on April 18, 2020, I was patrolling the 600 block of West Oregon Avenue when I observed a male subject, who was dressed in dark clothing, riding westbound on bicycle with no illumination on it. Upon turning my patrol car around, I initiated a traffic stop on the subject just before Johnson Road. Upon making contact with the subject, I informed him of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his identification. The subject gave me an Ohio Identification card, which identified him as Branty Smith. When I asked where he was going, he said to pick up food at Zep's Pizza. I then asked Smith if he had anything illegal on him, with him saying that he did not and granting me permission to search his pockets. Upon searching the small pocket on the right side of Mr. Smith's pants, I located a small baggie containing a light-colored powder substance. I then instructed Smith to place his hands behind his back in order for me to handcuff him. Mr. Smith then sprinted away, running westbound across the street, with me pursuing. While pursuing Smith, I yelled for him to stop multiple times, as well as drew my department issued taser and advised him that if he did not stop, I would taser him. While running through the front lawn of a residence on the south side of Oregon Avenue, I tripped, falling to the ground, with Smith continuing on behind the residence. As I came around the back of the residence, I lost track of where Smith had gone. Upon going back toward my patrol car, a male subject from a residence on the north side of the road came out and told me that his wife believed that she had seen Smith come out and hide behind some bushes at a house on the south side of the road, back toward 20th street. Upon checking this area, I was able to locate Smith hiding behind the bushes in the front lawn of a residence on the south side of the road. At taser point I ordered Smith to come out and to keep his hands where I could see them. At around this time I was joined by Smith Township patrolmen Toussant and Caughey, as well as Sebring Patrolman Peterman. I then pulled Smith out from the bushes, with Caughey placing him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked. Smith was also thoroughly searched for additional weapons or contraband with none being located. I then walked Smith back to my patrol car, reading him his Miranda rights on the way there. When I asked Smith if he wished to speak to me regarding the matter, he stated "I'm sorry for running, that's all I got to say". Smith was then taken to the Sebring Police Station where he was photographed, finger printed and processed. Smith was charged with a minor misdemeanor charge of Lights and reflectors on Bicycles (Sebring Codified Ordnance 373.06), as well as one second degree misdemeanor charge of obstructing official business (Ohio Revised Code 2921.31). Smith was given a $1000.00 own recognizance bond, with him signing the recognizance form and being instructed to contact the court on Monday for instructions on further proceedings. The suspected methamphetamine as well as Smith cell phone, a black Samsung (IMEI #354308082242131) were seized and secured in temporary evidence locker #1. The suspected methamphetamine will be sent to BCI with additional charges possible later. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl. Reed #508 On 06-10-2020, I received laboratory results from The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation regarding the suspected methamphetamine I recovered on Smiths person the night of the incident. The laboratory results concluded that the substance was in fact methamphetamine.

I activated my emergency overhead lights and initiated a traffic stop on the 500 Block of West Ohio and N. 19th Street. The vehicle was a Silver Kia bearing Ohio registration FIV2766. I exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle on the driver side and made contact with the driver later identified as Scott Alzner. I informed Scott of the reason I had stopped him and requested his driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. Scott had his registration in hand and looked it over repeatedly before handing it over to me. He then began looking for his license in his wallet before finally handing it over to me. I could detect an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I asked Scott if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to operating his motor vehicle and Scott said no before eventually stating he has had a couple of beers. I asked Scott when he consumed the alcoholic beverages and he said probably since 5 in the morning. I notified dispatch that the traffic stop was a possible OVI and Ptl. Brindack alrived on the scene to assist. I asked Scott if he would take the SFST's (Standardized Field Sobriety Test's), Scott said he would. I turned off the front portion of my light bar and had Scott exited his vehicle. I had Scott stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together and I asked if he had any medical conditions or had a head injury recently to which Scott stated no to the questions. I then checked Scott's eyes for a resting nystagmus, equal pupil size, and equal tracking. Scott did not have a resting nystagmus, both of Scott's pupils were of equal size, and both of Scott's eyes tracked equally. The first test was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus after explaining the instructions I asked Scott if he understood and he said he understood. Once the test began, I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and Onset nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the Walk and Turn, I had Scott stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot and told him to stay in that position until instructed otherwise. I performed the test to demonstrate it, once I told Scott the instructions, I asked him if he understood and Scott said that he did understand. Clues that I observed were could not keep balance and started too soon. He then attempted to stand in the position but fell over and advised me he couldn't because he has a bad leg. I then asked him why he didn't tell me about his leg when asked before and he stated he's never been to a doctor for it. I then asked if he would get back into position and he stated he wouldn't be able to because he's going to fail. Officer Brindack then asked if he was refusing the test and Mr. Alzner stated he was not and began doing the test before I gave instructions. I then asked him to stop and go back into the position he was instructed to stay in until I explain the test and so he attempted to again and tipped over again. He then stated again he can't. So due to the failed attempts and him stating he could not do the test we stopped this portion of the SFST's. The next test was the One Leg Stand, I had Scott stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together and told him to stay in that position until instructed otherwise. He stated he understood and I began to perform the test to demonstrate. Once I told Scott the instructions, I asked him if he understood and Scott said that he did. Clues I observed were he could not keep balance and he stopped the test multiple times before finally refusing this test as well and so he was placed in custody for suspicion of OVI and place in hand restraints, read his rights and search by Ptl. Brindack before being placed in the rear of marked until #304. Ptl. Brindack performed an inventory of the vehicle and stood by for Springer's Towing that towed the vehicle to 10 N. 12TH St. I transported Scott back to the police department where I performed a 20-minute observation period and while doing so I asked Scott if he would be willing to submit to a Urine and Breath test in which he agreed. Due to not having an lntoxilyzer 8000 Operator at station, Scott was transported to Alliance Police Department to have the test done. Officer McCord observed as I read BMV 2255 form and once it was complete, McCord obtained a breath sample from Scott which the results were BAC 0.269 9/210L. I informed Scott that he was now under administrative license suspension and was not to operate any motor vehicle and I confiscated his driver's license. Scott had not had any prior convictions for OVI in the last 10 years. Scott was issued a traffic citation for OVI (SFST) ORC 451 1.19A1A, OVI (>.17) ORC 4511.19A1 H, and Left of Center ORC 4511.29. Scott was cited into Mahoning County Court #3 personal appearance required on 05/28/2020 at 9:00am. After paper work was completed and Scott received copies of his traffic citation which he signed, the BMV 2255 form and his breath results. Scott was released on his own recognizance with a bond amount of $500.00. Ptl. Villanueva #512 05/25/2020 ************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT May 24, 2020 @ 1056hours Case No.: 20005159 CRIMINAL - Domestic Violence ARREST: Robert Doak , 42, LKA 136 S Johnson Rd, Sebring, OH 44672 Charge: Domestic Violence (F-3) ORC 2919.25A / Bond TBS While en route to the aforementioned address, dispatch requested Smith Township Patrolman Caughey to stage in the area for mutual aid. Having knowledge Sebring and Smith Township officers were at this address very recently, I went ahead and initiated mutual aid and requested Patrolman Caughey to respond. Upon arrival, having knowledge person(s) in the residence recently tested positive for COVID-19, we put on face masks and gloves prior to approaching the residence. As we approached the front door, a male later identified as Robert Doak exited the front door and appeared confused as to why we were there. A short time later, a female identified as Nicole Ketler exited the front door appearing upset and distraught. Patrolman Caughey and I separated the parties and talked to them individually. I spoke with Doak on the front porch while Patrolman Caughey spoke with Ketler in the front yard. Doak claimed nothing happened and any marks on Ketler were a result of the two having consensual sex the previous night. Ketler claimed Doak had been physically abusing her today, yesterday and so on. Ketler claimed the two did not have sex; that all marks on her body were from him assaulting her and throwing objects at her. At first observation, I saw Ketler's neck to be red with marks on her upper chest and a minor scratch on her neck. I observed what appeared to be hickeys on the left side of her neck that Ketler claimed were not from consensual sex. I also observed some bruising and track marks on Ketler's left arm. As Ketler spoke, her voice appeared to be strained and hoarse. Ketler stated Doak has been assaulting her for days and had even choked her out before our arrival. Ketler also claimed Doak threatened to kill her and put her in a coma. Doak, appearing calm but somewhat agitated, denied all of the accusations against him. Ketler claimed she did not have sex with Doak because of his HIV positive status. Doak did admit to being HIV positive and made several remarks indicating the two had been sexually active. Ketler stated she was in fear for her life going forward and when asked, advised she wanted to pursue domestic violence charges against Doak. Doak was instructed to turn around and place his hands behind his back. Doak was cuffed (gapped/double locked), informed of the charge against him and informed of his Miranda Rights which he stated he understood and that he was willing to waive them to provide a statement later at the station. Doak was subsequently searched for weapons and secured in the back seat of marked unit #303. I presented the domestic violence complaint packet to Ketler and explained it to her. Ketler signed the domestic violence complaint and denied the offer for medical attention. Photographs were taken of Ketler's neck, upper chest and left arm. At this time, Patrolman Vanvoorhis arrived on scene to relieve Patrolman Caughey. I provided Ketler with the domestic violence information sheet and explained the steps she needed to take going forward. I retrieved a voluntary written statement packet to Ketler and explained it to her. I left Ketler in the company of Patrolman Vanvoorhis to complete her statement while I transported Doak to the Sebring Police Department for processing. Before departing the scene, I obtained Doak's prescription medications from Ketler. Following my arrival at the station, Doak was escorted into the audio and video recorded squad room where his cuffs were removed. Doak was provided with gloves and a face mask due to his COVID-19 positive status. Doak was allowed to make phone calls as well as access to water and the restroom. Doak was photographed and informed due to past felony domestic violence convictions, he would be transported to the Mahoning County Justice Center and his bond set by a judge at a later date. After being notified by dispatch, I placed a call to Chief Harris who informed me due to Doak's COVID-19 positive status, that I was to place him in a cruiser as soon as possible to minimize contamination of the station. Before doing this, I again informed Doak of his Miranda Rights on camera. Doak acknowledged his rights and invoked them; changing his mind from earlier. Doak was placed in handcuffs behind his back again (gapped/double locked) and secured in the back seat of marked unit #303. Patrolman Vanvoorhis arrived at the station with Ketler's statement and remained outside to monitor Doak. The rear windows of #303 were rolled completely down and Max A/C put on high. After gathering all the appropriate jail paperwork, I transported Doak to the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown. The Mahoning County Justice Center accepted custody of Doak where he will remain until his appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, May 28, 2020. I returned to the Sebring Police Department to complete all appropriate paperwork and to review Ketler's voluntary written statement. According to Ketler's statement, Doak has been physically abusing her throughout their time in quarantine and she is in fear for her life. Ketler claims she has witnesses that can corroborate her statements but none were at the residence while we were there. At the end of her statement, Ketler claimed to have picked up a metal vase and struck Doak in self defense; a detail she did not convey while I was on scene. Doak never reported any injuries to me and I never observed any to his person. Patrolman D.A.

After dispatch relayed that Brandon Court was wanted, I followed him to the residence of 246 East Ohio where I then asked him to exit the building. When Brandon exited the residence, I placed him in handcuffs and spoke with him about the warrant through stark county. Dispatch relayed that they had a hit from Stark County for the warrant and stated they would send a unit to issue Brandon a summons to court on the incident. Deputy Mcmillen from Stark County SO arrived on scene, and issued Brandon a summons to canton court on his warrant charges.

Upon pulling onto Indiana Avenue from the high school parking lot, I observed a truck with a cab lights facing eastbound in the 200 block of West Indiana. Upon approaching the truck, I noticed that the exhaust was excessively loud. I then activated my overhead emergency light bar and initiated a traffic stop on the white Dodge 2500, bearing Ohio registration HPN 7852. In making contact with the driver, I advised him of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver stated "it was me" when I informed him of the complaint that had been called in regarding a truck with a loud exhaust that was speeding down the road and peeling tires. The driver then provided me with an Ohio Driver license that identified him as Stephen M. Miller as well as his insurance cards, but was unable to locate his vehicle registration. I then returned to my patrol car and wrote Mr. Miller uniform traffic citation #03 1883, for Sebring Codified Ordnance 337.20 (muffler, excessive noise). Mr. Miller signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 to either pay the citation or for information regarding further proceedings if he wished to contest the citation. Miller was given a verbal warning for peeling tires and driving recklessly. I then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl. Reed #507 ************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT May 15, 2020 @ 16:00 Case No.: 20005091 Criminal 246 East Ohio Ave. Sebring, OH CITED: Budd Kuyper, 44, 246 East Ohio Ave. Sebring, OH Charge: Dogs running at large SCO: 505.01(c) (MM) On 05-15-2020 at 1458 hours, I was dispatched to take a report of a dog bite from a subject at 396 East Ohio Avenue. Upon arriving to the residence I made contact wit the caller / complainant, Aaron Wood. Mr. Wood advised that while walking home from Circle K he was walking down the sidewalk when he was bit by a tan pit bull breed dog. Wood said that the dog came from either the yard or the porch of the house directly across from the fire station and that several people who were sitting on the porch called the dog back. Wood showed me a tear in his pants on his right thigh as well as a puncture wound to his left thigh. Wood's wound and the tear on his pants were each photographed. Wood also declined medical treatment when offered but did provide me with a voluntary witness statement that I told him I would return later to pick up. I then proceeded to 246 East Ohio Avenue, where I found Budd Kuyper, Crystal Black, Glenn Fournier, and George Carl sitting on the porch. Also present was a tan female pit bull, named Mischief, that Budd said belonged to him. In speaking with Budd he did admit that his dog had gotten loose from the porch and attacked Wood. Budd said that he didn't think the dog had actually bit Wood and admitted to only seeing her "nip at him". Budd provided me with a voluntary witness statement as well as documentation that his dog had received a rabies shot last month. I then left Kuyper's residence, returned to wood's to pick up the witness statement, and then cleared from the call. Upon returning to the police station I was able to verify that Kuyper had received a dog at large warning letter in March after Mischief bit a jogger. Because a prior warning letter had been issued I wrote minor misdemeanor citation 000240 to Kuyper for Dogs running at large (SCO: 505.01). I then returned to Kuyper's residence where he signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact the court to find when future proceedings in the case are. I then cleared from the call. A copy of a dog bite report form was forwarded to the Mahoning County Board of Health and I also left a message with the dog wardens office regarding the incident. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

While Eastbound on West California Avenue nearing South 17th Street, I observed a gray Ford Focus that was traveling westbound at what appeared to be a speed higher than that of the 25MPH posted speed limit. Upon activating my frontfacing antenna to my in-car radar unit, I obtained a locked speed of 38MPH. Once the vehicle passed me, I turned around, activated my overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop. The gray Ford Focus, bearing Ohio registration HQB 7941, came to a stop near Salem Republic Rubber. Upon making contact with the female driver, I requested her driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. I also asked her if she were aware of her speed, with her advising that she was. The driver then provided me with all requested documents, with her Ohio Driver License identifying her as Ashley L. Suderman. I then returned to my patrol car and wrote uniform traffic citation 03 1882 to Suderman for Speed (SCO 333.03), for going 38MPH in a 25MPH zone. Suderman signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised of her right to contest the citation. I instructed Suderman that although she was not given a mandatory court appearance, she would need to contact Mahoning County Court #3 to either pay the citation or to get information on further proceedings in the case if she wished to contest it. I then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl. Reed #507 ************************************ PUBLISHED 8:09 AM 5/21/2020 www.WesternReserveNews.com *

Mary then provided me with a voluntary witness statement before leaving, as well as a phone number for me to contact Withrow. In speaking to Withrow, she agreed to come to the station to discuss the matter. Once on station, I interviewed Withrow in the squad room. I informed Withrow that she was not under arrest. Sgt. Kelm was also present. Julie informed me that Sean began sending her messages via Facebook messenger, using his girlfriend, Katherin Cox's account, asking if he could upload money onto her GreenDot card account from his mother's bank account and have her withdraw it. Withrow said that she was told that Sean's mother was helping him with money and that she would give her $50.00 for doing it. Withrow also said that Sean had tried to transfer money to her the day before without first asking for her permission to do so. Julie also allowed me to see the messenger conversation between her and Sean, with four monetary transactions taking place that day. Three were for $100.00 and one was for $50.00. I also noted several audio calls on the messenger application between her and Katherines accounts. Withrow allowed me to photograph these conversations. When I asked what her and Sean had spoken about during their phone conversations, Withrow said that he was rushing her to get the money. When asked if she was positive it was Sean that she was speaking to on the phone, Withrow said that she was.

Reed #507 On 05-10-2020 at 01:28 hours, I was dispatched to a domestic violence incident at 426 East Vermont Avenue. Upon arrival I met the caller/complainant, Patrick R. Levelle, in the driveway to the residence near the road. Mr. Levelle was bleeding from a cut on his head and had the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his person. Mr. Levelle advised that his live-in girlfriend, Sherrie Simpson, had hit him with an incense burner causing the cut on his head. Levelle did say at this point that he wished to pursue charges in the matter. Levelle further advised that Simpson had fled on foot prior to officers arrival and that she was wearing a light colored top with blue jeans. This matched the description of a female subject who I had passed on East Virginia Avenue behind the high school while enroute to the call. I informed Ptl. Russell of this over the radio with her searching the area. Several minutes later dispatch advised that Simpson was at the police station. In speaking further with Mr. Levelle, he advised that Simpson was intoxicated, taking Ativan in addition to drinking alcohol, and that she had attacked him without provocation. Levelle said that she also "tore the Hell out of his house". Sebring FireIEMS arrived at this point with me then going inside the house with Mr. Levelle and the EMS squad. I did note that inside the kitchen was a skillet and food thrown on the floor around it. Levelle provided me with a broken incense burned that he said Simpson had struck him with. The incense burner had an ornamental dragon. The head to the dragon matched the wound on Levelle's head. Levelle was then transported by Sebring Fire/EMS to Aultman Alliance Hospital for treatment. While Levelle was on his way to the hospital, I went to the police station to meet up with Ptl. Russell, who was speaking with Simpson. Upon arriving, I found Ptl. Russell and Smith Township Sergeant Davis speaking with Simpson in the back parking lot of the police station. The four of us then proceeded into the squad room where I spoke to Simpson regarding the matter. It should be noted that I advised Simpson that she was not under arrest but did read her Miranda prior to speaking with her. I could also smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Simpson. Simpson advised that she had been with Levelle throughout the evening at his daughters house as well as her friends house in Alliance. Levelle allegedly became upset regarding having been rejected membership by a motorcycle club, and began arguing with her. Simpson said that Levelle continued to berate her throughout the the time that they were with his daughter and during the drive home. Simpson further advised that upon returning home Levelle "threw her around" but said "I don't know" when asked to elaborate. It should be noted that Simpsons lips were visibly swollen and had cuts on the insides of them and her hands and clothing had blood on them. It was also later noticed that she had an abrasions on her scalp and scratch on her neck. These injuries were photographed. When asked if she had struck Levelle with the incense burner she denied having done so. After speaking with Simpson, I went to Aultman Alliance Community Hospital to speak with Levelle. Levelle said that the couple had been at his daughters house on Milton Street in Alliance before going home. Levelle also again said that Simpson had been drinking throughout the evening. Levelle went on to say that upon coming home, Simpson wanted to continue to drink, Levelle said that Simpson then attacked him without provocation and that he had never struck her back. When confronted with the injuries that Simpson had he said that he again said that he never hit her. Levelle also began saying that he did not want Simpson to get in trouble and that he did not want to pursue charges. I advised him that due to the severity of injuries between the two that the state would pick them up. Upon being discharged from the Emergency Department (E.D.) I took Levelle into custody. While in the E.D. he was placed in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked, as well as searched incident to arrest. He was then brought back to the police station for processing, with it later being discovered that he had a prior domestic violence convictions. Because of this he was charged with third degree felony Domestic Violence (ORC 2919.25A). Simpson, who was also found to have prior domestic violence convictions was charged with third degree felony domestic violence as well. It did appear that both subjects were aggressors in the incident. when asked if there were firearms in the house, both subjects advised that there were not. After processing, I transported Levelle to the county jail in car 301 with Ptl. Russell transporting Simpson in car 303. Due to the degree of offense both subjects will require bail to be set by a judge. Domestic violence packets were gone over with both subjects. The incense burner was collected as evidence and secured in temporary evidence locker #1. The injuries to both parties were also photographed as evidence. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl. Reed #507 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Following Narrative by Ptl. Racheal Russell #510 On May 10,2020 myself and Ptl. Reed were dispatched to 426 E. Vermont Ave for a Domestic Violence complaint. Upon arrival I was met by Ptl. Reed who stated the female involved had took off on foot last known walking Westbound on E. Virginia Ave. Ptl. Reed stated he believes he passed her while responding to the call. I had then cleared the scene in attempts to locate her. I arrived in the area of E. Virginia and was then quickly notified by dispatch the female was in the back-parking lot of the Sebring Police department. I then left the area to respond to the Sebring Police department. Ptl. Reed remained on scene with the alleged victim. Upon arriving at the Sebring Police department, I observed a female sitting on the ground that appeared to be sobbing speaking with Smith Township Sgt. Davis. I made contact with the female and Sgt. Davis. I identified the female as Ms. Sherrie Simpson. Ms. Simpson stated her and her boyfriend had got into an argument while visiting at his daughter's house in Alliance that turned into physical violence when they returned home. I was advised her boyfriend is Patrick Levell. Sherrie stated Patrick became verbally abusive because he had been drinking alcoholic beverages while they were visiting with his daughter by calling her a whore. Sherrie stated her boyfriend drinks a lot after work and verbally abuses her until it leads into physical violence. I was advised this happens often. On the above date Sherrie stated when they returned home from Alliance, she attempted to make food in the skillet, but Patrick became angry and tossed it around the kitchen. I was advised that is when Patrick became physically violent with her by pushing on her until she fell to the floor. Sherrie stated Patrick started to choke her by putting his arm around her neck while she was on the floor but he did not hold her in this position for long. Sherrie stated Patrick hit her in the face several times but is unsure if it was with an open or closed hand. Sherrie stated she threatened to call the police but Patrick took her phone from her. I was advised when she was able to get away from him, she left to come to the police department. I observed Sherrie to have a swollen busted open lip, a mark on her left check, a small scratch on her neck, blood in her hair and all over her clothing and a scrap on her scalp. Sherrie stated the blood came from her nose and lip. Photographs were taken of Sherrie's injuries. I was then notified by Ptl. Reed that Patrick was being transferred to the Alliance community hospital ER due to a head injury. Patrick advised Ptl. Reed, Sherrie struck him in the head with an incense burner with a dragon on it. Ptl. Reed advised me the injury on his head matches the dragon on the incense burner. Ptl. Reed responded to the hospital with Patrick. I asked Sherrie if at any time she hit Patrick with the incense burner because of the information I just ' received. Sherrie started to laugh and stated "I bet he does have an injury". Sherrie then stated "She does not believe she hit him at any time because she would not have had time due to him pushing her around. I asked what she did when was able to get up from the floor. I was advised she ran out the door to come to the Police department for help. I was further advised Patrick will cause harm to himself just to get her arrested. I then checked for prior Domestics on Sherrie finding two with convictions and two assaults with convictions. There was no protection order in place between the two parties. I then advised Sherrie was being charged with Domestic Violence 2919.25 F3 due to the injury to the head. While I was working on the booking process Ptl. Reed brought Patrick in booking. Sherrie became verbally aggressive knowing he was in the building. She, started to call him a mother fucker and called officer's bitches. Sherrie was then placed in handcuffs until she could calm down. Once Sherrie was calmed down I transported her to the Mahoning county jail. Nothing further at this time. Ptl.

While southbound in the 400 block of South 15th Street, I observed that the vehicle in front of me did not have an operable license plate light. I then activated my overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. Upon approaching the silver Impala, bearing Ohio registration HNB 6274, I could smell the strong odor of burnt marijuana emanating from inside of the vehicle. In making contact with the driver, Kendra Cundiff, I requested her driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. Cundiff was only able to provide me with an expired insurance card but did give me her name and date of birth. Dyllon Dewell was the front seat passenger with Olivia and Ariel Gillman in the back of the vehicle. All three gave me there identifying information. When I asked where the marijuana that I was smelling was, Dyllon admitted that there was a blunt in the car, with him retrieving it from the back-seat area and handing it to me. Ptl. Russell then arrived on scene and all four occupants were requested out of the vehicle with a probable cause search being conducted. In searching the driver area, directly underneath the seat, I located a glass pipe with remnants of a burnt, green, vegetative substance inside. This substance did smell strongly of marijuana. Once finished searching the vehicle, I asked who the marijuana pipe belonged to. Cundiff admitted that it belonged to her. No other contraband was located during the search. When I asked Cundiff if she had smoked marijuana recently, she said that she had not. I also did not observe or smell any indicators on Cundiff to indicate that she had. All four subjects were allowed back inside the vehicle, with me returning to my patrol car to write citations. I also determined that none of the occupants had any active warrants and that Cundiff did have a valid driver license. Cundiff was cited for Sebring Codified Ordnance: 337.04 (license plate light required), and Sebring Codified Ordnance 513.121 (marijuana paraphernalia).

Peterman #511 4/25/2020 On arrival, I spoke with the victim, Matthew Thurman, who states "Bryan Tewksbury came up to me and smashed me in the back of the head with a flashlight". Matthew had a small hoodie pressed against his head, and when I asked him to lift the hoodie up, observed a large amount of blood on the back of Matthews head, and a large contusion on the upper left portion of his head that was still bleeding. I advised Matthew to keep applying pressure until medics could arrive to treat his injury. I advised dispatch that Matthew was in need of medical attention from Sebring FD. Dispatched relayed information to Sebring FD, and had medics dispatched to 246 E. Ohio Ave. Ptl. VanVoorhis #513 arrived at this time to assist me as I relayed information from several witnesses who saw Bryan Tewksbury running from the scene of the crime shirtless, and wearing khaki shorts and a pair of sneakers. Witnesses also report Tewksbury running up to two individuals, one being a female walking with a baby stroller, then running off east toward his residence on the 300 East block of Indiana. Ptl. Marchionda #505 radioed to dispatch at this time he had Bryan Tewksbury held at gun point at his residence, 336 E. Indiana Ave. I asked Matthew if he wished to press charges against Bryan Tewksbury and he responded "Fuck yeah I would". Sebring FD arrived on scene at this time to treat Mathew of his injuries. Myself and Ptl. VanVoorhis left the victims residence to assist Ptl. Marchionda #505. Smith Township PD Ptl. Caughey #377, and Smith township PD Ptl. Toussant #380 arrived with myself and Ptl. VanVoorhis #513 at the residence and saw Bryan Tewksburys father, Chris Tewksbury, approaching Ptl. Marchionda #505 in a threatening manner asking "what the fuck are you doing to my son". I approached Chris and advised him to move away from the area to which he responded "I'm calling my lawyer; you have no right to do this". Ptl. Marchionda #505 had Bryan detained in handcuffs at this time, and was seen bleeding heavily from a deep laceration to his right hand. I again advised Chris he needed to get away from the area, and he backed to the end of their driveway. Ptl. Marchionda #505 requested me to provide aid to Bryan. I retrieved my first aid bag from my patrol vehicle, and obtained a roll of thick gauze, and properly applied it to Bryans right hand. After applying first aid treatment, Sebring FD arrived on scene to provide further medical care and transport. I spoke with Ptl. Marchionda #505 who advised me to obtain witness statements and collect evidence at the crime scene. I advised dispatch I was clear from Bryans residence, and was enroute to the previous address. I arrived back at 246 E. Ohio Ave. and spoke to another resident there, Budd Kuyper, who states "Bryan came to the front door and knocked. As I answered the door, I noticed Bryan was acting erratically as none of his statements were making any sense.". Budd also states "I let him inside, and he kept asking where Matthew was, and I saw his hand was all bloody". Budd states "I heard a loud thud, and came outside to see him (Bryan Tewksbury) on top of Matthew, punching and yelling at him". After speaking to Budd, I requested he provide me with a written statement. Budd agreed, and I finished collecting evidence for processing. Bryan was pink slipped due to his erratic behaviors and injuries and transported to Aultman Alliance, and Matthew was also transported to Alliance Aultman Hospital for his injuries. Ptl. Marchionda #505 followed medics to Aultman Alliance Hospital to retrieve as witness statement from Matthew, then cleared back to Sebring. All parties cleared the scene without further incident. This report will be forwarded to the prosecutor for approval on the charge of Felonious Assault 2903.11 (A)(2). Ptl. Peterman #511 4/25/2020 Following Narrative by Patrolman Zachery Van Voorhis Unit #513 On April 25,2020 at 1642 hours I was dispatched to 226 E Ohio Ave for an assault in progress between two males. Upon arrival I observed Patrolman Peterman's cruiser out front of the house. I asked him via radio where he was and he said outback. Once I got to the back yard I observed Matthew Thurman bleeding from his head standing on a wheelchair ramp. Matthew was standing with Budd Kuyper and speaking to Patrolman Peterman. Patrolman Peterman pointed out a flashlight that was used as a weapon to strike Mr. Thurman in the head. He explained he got photos already and I could collect it for evidence. Mr. Thurman advised both units that Brian Tewksbury was the one who attacked him. Before collecting, I spoke to Mr. Kuyper about the incident asking where it took placeat. The place the fight happened was in the back yard by an entry door to the basement. There were droplets of blood surrounding the door, a bloody palm print on the metal ramp and blood on the flashlight on the ground. I then put gloves on and proceeded to collect the evidence, and radioed to Patrolman Marchionda to look for our suspect last seen East on Ohio since Patrolman Peterman and myself had the first scene secure. Medics arrived at 226 East Ohio to treat Mr. Thurman. About 10 minutes later Patrolman Marchionda called over the radio that he had found the suspect at his residence and the suspect ran inside the house. The next transpission from Patrolman Marchionda was that he had the suspect Brian Tewksbury at gunpoint and he needed assistance. Both Patrolman Peterman and myself responded to the residence along with Smith Township officers to assist. Once on scene I observed Mr. Tewksbury on his knees facing Patrolman Marchionda with his hands behind his lower back. Mr. Tewksbury was bleeding from his hand with blood behind him on the front porch and all over his body and clothes. Mr. Tewksbury said, "He said that to my girl, what would you do?" referring to the incident. He said multiple times the same statement, "He said that to my girl, what would you do?". While Patrolman Marchionda covered the suspect, I went over and picked him up to be cuffed as he was having trouble understanding commands from Patrolman Marchionda. Mr. Tewksbury appeared to be muttering random words and sentences. He also could not keep his focus while he was being talked to. He was also unstable on his feet without being held up. He was detained in cuffs for the time being. Patrolman Peterman wrapped his hand with gauze while medics arrived. Once the squad arrived, he was taken out of cuffs and pink slipped to the hospital to be evaluated. Patrolman Marchionda followed the squad to the hospital and while there I asked him for a statement from the victim Mr. Thurman. Patrolman Peterman and myself then went back and began looking for witness' and taking statements. Due to the location of the fight no one could see much detail and it appeared no one, other than the two involved, know who swung first. Patrolman Zachery Van Voorhis Unit #513 Following Narrative by Ptl. Marchionda #505 While responding to a report of a fight at 246 E Ohio Ave, I observed Patrolmen Peterman and VanVoorhis already on scene. Radio traffic indicated our suspect to be Brian Tewksbury and that he had fled east on E Ohio Ave on foot after striking another male in the head with a flashlight. Patrolman VanVoorhis requested for me to canvas the surrounding area for Tewksbury. While searching the immediate area, radio traffic indicated Tewksbury was last seen walking with two females. Smith Township Patrolman Caughey flagged me down on N 12th St near E. Maryland Ave and advised he observed two females on foot near N 13th St and E Indiana Ave. Having previously dealt with Tewksbury in the past and knowing his residence to be 336 E Indiana Ave., I proceeded to that address. As I neared the aforementioned address, I observed a shirtless male quickly run into the of the residence. Simultaneously, radio traffic indicated Tewksbury fled the scene shirtless. As I approached the residence, I observed several droplets of fresh blood in the driveway and on the front porch. I realized the shirtless male I observed rushing into the house was Tewksbury and began,to knock on the front door while shouting his name. I observed even more blood near the front door and due to the door being unlocked, my knocking caused it to open slightly. Believing Tewksbury was inside the residence, possibly injured and may be in possession of some type of weapon, I kicked the door open and remained on the front porch. With my duty weapon unholstered and at the low ready, I gave loud commands for Tewksbury to exit the residence. Tewksbury appeared still shirtless with blood covering his arms and torso with his right hand not visible. I ordered Tewksbury out of the residence at gunpoint onto the front porch. Tewksbury was acting erratically and speaking incoherently but responded to my commands to exit the house, place his hands behind his back and get on his knees. I updated dispatch of the situation and broadcasted one male at gunpoint. This radio traffic prompted response from Patrolmen Peterman and VanVoorhis as well as mutual aid response from Smith Township. As backup was arriving on scene, Tewksbury's father from the neighboring residence began to quickly move up behind me. While maintaining cover on Tewksbury with my duty weapon, I unholstered by taser and ordered Tewksbury's father to back up. After seeing the father comply, I turned my attention back to Tewksbury as officers were arriving onto the front porch. Smith Township Patrolmen Caughey and Toussant arrived on scene as Patrolmen Peterman and VanVoorhis were assisting me with Tewksbury. Observing a serious injury to Tewksbury's right hand, I instructed Patrolman Peterman to retrieve his medical kit from his cruiser and tend to Tewksbury's injury, which was bleeding profusely. Tewksbury was detained using handcuffs behind his back while continuing to act erratic and speaking incoherently. Patrolman Peterman wrapped Tewksbury's injury with fresh sterile gauze as Sebring EMS personnel began to arrive on scene. Tewksbury was escorted to Medic-2 and handcuffs removed. After consulting with Sebring Fire Chief Springer, the decision to pink slip Tewksbury was made. Patrolmen Peterman and VanVoorhis cleared the scene and proceeded back to the original location of the call to obtain statements. Smith Township Patrolmen Caughey and Toussant cleared at this time as well. I followed Medic-2 as they transported Tewksbury to Aultman Alliance Community Hospital. Upon arrival at Aultman Alliance, I was informed by Patrolman VanVoorhis over the radio the victim had already been transported a statement was needed. After ensuring Tewksbury was escorted into IS0 in the emergency department without incident, I established contact with the victim, identified as Matthew Thurman. Thurman allowed me to take photographs of his blood-stained clothes and injury. Thurman provided a brief voluntary written statement advising Tewksbury struck him in the back of the head with a flashlight. After photographs were taken and a statement obtained, I returned to the village to assist Patrolman Peterman, who was still at the original location of the call. Patrolman Peterman advised he secured the flashlight as well as a bloodied hoodie used by the victim. I returned to the station and obtained a CCH for Brian Tewksbury from dispatch. A request for the following charges will be forwarded to the prosecutor's office for review: ORC 2903.11 (A)(2) Felonious Assault, a felony of the second degree and ORC 3701.352 Violations Prohibited, a misdemeanor of the second degree. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #505 4.26.2020 On Sunday, April 26, 2020, prosecutor's office approved the following charges: ORC 2903.11(A)(2) Felonious Assault and ORC 3701.352 Violations Prohibited. State complaints will be generated and submitted to Mahoning County Court #3 on Monday, April 27, 2020 to obtain warrants for Brain Tewksbury. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #505 4.26.2020 On Monday, April 27, 2020, warrants for Brian Tewksbury were issued by Mahoning County Court #3. Patrolman Brindack and I found Tewksbury standing in the driveway of his residence on E Indiana Ave and took him into custody. Tewksbury was handcuffed behind his back (gapped/double locked), informed of his Miranda Rights (which he invoked) and transported to the Sebring Police Department. Upon arrival, Tewksbury was escorted into the audio/video recorded squad room and the handcuffs were temporarily removed. Tewksbury was provided copies of his warrants, photographed and DNA sample obtained by Sergeant Kelm. Tewksbury stated he could not read and was read the warrants. After processing was complete, Tewksbury was handcuffed behind his back (gapped/double locked) and subsequently transported to the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown where he will remain until his appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, April 30, 2020. Bond is to be set by the judge at arraignment. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #505 4.27.2020 ************************************ PUBLISHED 11:23 AM 5/1/2020 www.WesternReserveNews.com *

I observed the snapchat text conversation and found Tuel's messages to be degrading and controlling towards Reed. Several messages from Tuel contained cruel remarks and some contained demands for Reed to send pictures of her tits to Tuel. Reed's responded and told Tuel no and several of the messages telling Tuel to stop and leave her alone but Tuel continued to message her back, swearing and saying degrading things to her. I had Reed screenshot the entire conversation and send them to me department e- mail address. Printouts of the conversation will be placed in the case file. I provided Reed with a voluntary statement packet, explained how to fill it out and the consequences for falsification. While writing her statement, Tuel messaged her on snapchat. With Reed's permission, I took her iPhone and called Tuel using the snapchat call feature. Tuel answered the phone and it seemed as if he was pretending to not hear me when I spoke. After getting Reed to speak, Tuel acknowledged her voice and then I took over. I identified myself as a patrolman with the Sebring Police Department and gave Tuel lawful commands to leave Reed alone, to stop calling and messaging her, and to delete her contact information from his phone. Tuel stated "Yes Sir" and hung up the phone. Before leaving the residence, I informed Reed should Tuel contact her again in the near future by any means, to screenshot the messages and call logs and phone the station or contact me directly through my department email. Reed did previously state the provocative media she sent, Tuel threatened to share with other people. If Tuel follows through with this alleged threat, enforcement action will be taken. One state complaint will be generated for one charge of ORC 2917.21 Telecommunications Harassment, a misdemeanor of the first degree, against Christian Tuel. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #507 3.12.2020 On Thursday, March 19, 2020, Christian Tuel turned himself in at the Sebring Police Department accompanied by his attorney. Tuel and his attorney were escorted into the audio and video recorded squad room where Tuel was provided his copy of the warrant and informed of his Miranda Rights. Tuel acknowledged his rights, refused to waive his rights and the warrant was read to him explaining the charge. Tuel was fingerprinted, photographed and remanded into the custody of his attorney. Tuel and his attorney departed the station for Mahoning County Court #3. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #506 3.19.2020 ************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT 3/19/2020 @ 22.23 hrs Case No.: 20003115 Traffic - OVI N. Johnson Rd and Route 62 CITE: Eric Hamon (AGE 44) 165 E. Michigan Ave. Sebring, OH 44672 OVI 4511.19A1A / BOND $500.00 Assured Clear Distance 4511.21A At 2253 hours, on March 19, 2020, 1 responded to an accident report involving a Sebring Police car at the intersection of N. Johnson Rd, and route 62. Upon arrival, I found that Sgt. Kelm and Ptl. Vanvoorhis had been sitting facing southbound in car 302 on N. Johnson Rd at the intersection with route 62 when they were struck by another southbound vehicle. Upon exiting my patrol car I was advised by Sgt. Kelm that no one was injured. I then approached the grey Ford Focus, bearing Ohio registration HVK3172, and made contact with the male driver, later identified as Eric W. Hamon. In speaking with Mr. Hamon, I asked what had happened this evening, with him stating that he was just trying to go to Perkins Restaurant but that they were closed and then the accident occurred. Hamon said that he had been at home on Michigan Avenue prior to this. I noticed that Mr. Hamon's eyes were glassy, his movement was very delayed, his speech was slurred, and he seemed to have difficulty comprehending what I was saying to him, as was evident by his delayed responses. I also noted the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from inside the vehicle. When I asked Mr. Hamon if he had been drinking at all, he advised that he had not. Because of my observations indicating that Mr. Hamon was possibly under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or both, I requested that he step out of the vehicle. Once out of the vehicle, I asked him to accompany me back toward my patrol car. While we were walking between our cars, I noticed that he was very unsteady on his feet. With Mr. Hamon's consent, Pt. VanVoorhis conducted a search of his person, locating a prescription pill bottle containing 0.5mg Clonazapam that had Hamons name on it. I also again asked Hamon If he had consumed any alcohol, with him saying that he had not. I then turned off the headlights as well as front facing lightbar of my patrol car. At this point, I asked Mr. Hamon if he would submit to field sobriety tests to determine if he were okay to drive, with him agreeing to do so. I began the tests first with the horizontal gaze nystagmus test (HGN). I asked Mr. Hamon if he were taking any other prescription medications, with him saying just Paxil and Prozac and that he had taken them in the morning. Hamon also said that the last time that he had taken any of the Clonazepam was about six hours before. Hamon said that he had no issues with his eyes nor did he wear corrective lenses. I began the HGN test by instructing Hamon to place his feet together and arms at his side. I told him to follow my fingertip with his eyes, his eyes only, and not to move his head. After giving him these instructions, I asked if he understood, with him saying that he did. Using my flashlight in a downward angle for illumination, I held my fingertip approximately 12 inches from Hamon's face. I noticed no resting nystagmus. In going further with the test, I did however note lack of smooth pursuit, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, as well as distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation. I noted no vertical gaze nystagmus. These clues were observed in both eyes. Next, I began the walk and turn test. Instructed Hamon to place his right foot in front of his left foot, keep his arms at his side, and not to begin until I told him to do so. After demonstrating the test to him I asked Hamon if he understood, with him saying that he did. Hamon was then advised to begin the test. While Hamon was performing the test, I noticed that he did not touch heel to toe, and stepped off the line. Hamon also did not turn around but instead began to walk backwards. After completing the walk and turn test, we began the one-leg stand test. I instructed Mr. Hamon to stand with his arms at his side, and to raise the foot of his choice approximately six inches off the ground and count in a one-thousand one, one- thousand two, one-thousand three pattern until told to stop. Mr. Hamon said that he understood and began the test. Mr. Hamon swayed while attempting to balance and put his foot down approximately five seconds into the test. At the conclusion of the tests, I asked him if he were sure that he had not consumed any alcohol. Hamon then changed his story and said that he had drank 3 hard ciders at about 10:00pm. Ptl. Stanton arrived at around this time with a portable breath tester (PBT) that I had requested. I asked Mr. Hamon if he were willing to blow into it, with him agreeing to do so. Mr. Hamon then blew into the device; however, he did not fully close his lips around the straw. The PBT showed a reading of 0.67. Due to Mr. Hamon's performance on the SFST's being present with the odor of alcohol, I placed him under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I then placed him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked, before placing him in the back of car 303. Hamon was then brought back to The Sebring Police Station where I read him his Miranda rights, which he said that he understood. Harmon agreed to speak with me regarding the matter. I asked him if the physician who prescribed him his Clonazepam had informed him that he should not mix it with alcohol, with him saying that he had. Harmon was then photographed, fingerprinted and processed. I also read the Ohio BMV 2255 form to him and instructed him that he was being placed under and administrative license suspension until told otherwise by the courts. Hamon agreed to provide a breath sample with his blood alcohol level showing as 0.154 g1210L. The breath sample was collected by Sgt. Kelm. When asked for a urine sample, Hamon said he tried but was unable to produce any urine. He was then given citation number 031878 for Operating a vehicle under the Influence (ORC 4511.19A1A) as well as assured clear distance for striking the patrol car (ORC 4511.21A). After signing the citation, he was given his copy before being released on a $500.00 own recognizance bond. Hamon was instructed to contact the court tomorrow to determine when his court date would be seeing as the courts are closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

The vehicle was visually estimated at going 60 mph, and was rapidly accelerating. The vehicles engine was still roaring as it passed me in the 300 block of South 12th Street. I then made a three point turn around and attempted to stop the vehicle. I activated my emergency overhead lights and audible siren and initiated a traffic stop on US 62 at 12th Street. The vehicle was a Black 2000 Chevy pick up truck bearing Ohio registration HOP7431. I exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle on the driver side and made contact with the driver later identified as Victor David Vickers II. I informed Victor of the reason I had stopped him and requested his driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. Victor pulled out multiple pieces of paper and attempted to hand me them before finding his driver's license. Victor was unable to find his registration but was able to locate proof of insurance. Victor advised me he was on his way home from work. I could detect an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I asked Victor if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to operating his motor vehicle and Victor said yes, I asked Victor when he consumed the alcoholic beverages and he said at home he had one and he was just coming back from the bar in Sebring. I notified dispatch that the traffic stop was a possible OVI and Ptl. Reed arrived on the scene to assist. I asked Victor of he would take SFST (Standardized Field Sobriety Test's), Victor said he would. I turned off the front portion of my light bar and had Victor exit his vehicle. I had Victor stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together and I asked if he had any medical conditions, fainted recently, or had a head injury or have been hospitalized recently to which Victor stated he did not have anything that would prevent him from completing the tests. I then checked Victor's eyes for a resting nystagmus, equal pupil size, and equal tracking. Victor did not have a resting nystagmus, both of Victor's pupils were of equal size, and both of Victor's eyes tracked equally. The first test was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus after explaining the instructions I asked Victor if he understood and he said he understood. Once the test began, I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes,.Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and Onset nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the Walk and Turn, I had Victor stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot and told him to stay in that position until instructed otherwise. I performed the test to demonstrate it, Once I told Victor the instructions, I asked him if he understood and Victor said that he did understand. Clues that I observed were Could not keep balance and starting to soon. Victor walked the line but did not do it heel to toe. Victor used his hands to help keep his balance. The test was the One-Leg-Stand, I had Victor stand straight up with his hands to his side. I preformed the test to demonstrate it, Once I told Victor the instructions, I asked him if he understood and Victor sad that he did understand. Clues observed, hoping on one foot, using hands as balance, improper counting, skipped numbers, stopped during the test, and finally Victor grabbed the side of the truck to maintain balance. Victor was placed in custody for suspicion of OVI and placed in hand restraints and read his rights ( before being placed in the rear of marked unit #304. Ptl. Reed Secured victor and searched her person revealing a baggie of marijuana. I preformed a vehicle inventory of the vehicle and located several tools and beer cans. The one beer can was still cold and was half way full. Springer's Towing arrived and towed the vehicle to 10 N. 12TH St. I transported Victor back to the police department where I performed a 20-minute observation period and while doing so I read a BMV 2255 form to Victor with Ptl. Reed, witnessing it. Victor signed the BMV 2255 form and once the observation period was complete I operated the lntoxilyzer 8000 and obtained a breath sample from Victor which the results were BrAC 0.266 gl210L. A urine sample was also obtained and will be sent to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Crime lab for both an alcohol analysis and drug analysis.

Redfern #504 03/17/2020 ************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT Case No.: 20003095 CRIMINAL (MM) N 14th St near E Michigan Ave, Sebring, OH Last Gary Baddeley (AGE 35) 436 N 13th St, Sebring, OH 44672 Disorderly Conduct SCO 509.03(a)(2) Dispatch advised caller stated a white vehicle was travelling north on N 14th St from the high school and the male driver was actively striking the female passenger. I arrived on N 14th St north of E Michigan Ave and found the vehicle stopped in the northbound lane unoccupied. Upon exiting my cruiser, I observed a white male running towards me with a white female running behind him from E Vermont Ave. I unholstered my X26P Taser and instructed the male to show me his hands and place them on the hood of my car while I ordered the female to stop, raise her hands and get down on her knees (she stated she was pregnant at this time). Patrolman Brindack arrived on foot from the high school and secured the male, placing him in the backseat of my cruiser. After ensuring the female had no weapons on her person, I retrieved her information and identified her as Laurie Fryman. Fryman stated she was the passenger in the vehicle and had video on her smartphone of a dispute between her and her boyfriend, later identified as Gary Baddeley. Chief Harris arrived on scene at this time to assist. Fryman stated she was picked up from the library on W Ohio Ave by Baddeley and as the two were in the car, Baddeley began to berate her, cuss at her and ridicule her. Fryman stated while they were on N 14th St, Baddeley unbuckled her seat belt and began to brake check violently in an attempt to slam her into the dash and windshield. Fryman showed me the 42 second video on her smartphone. In the video, Fryman can be heard screaming "What are you doing?" as Baddeley is shouting back at her "why aren't you wearing your seatbelt?". Fryman is seen moving back and forth, consistent with Baddeley braking the vehicle. During the video, Baddeley can be heard yelling for Fryman to get out of her car and near the end can be heard screaming, "GET OUT OF THE CAR NOW, I HATE YOU, I CANT FUCKING STAND YOU! YOURE FUCKING NASTY, YOU'RE FUCKING UGLY, YOU FUCKING PlSSED YOURSELF, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CAR NOW!' At the point the video ends, Fryman states this is where Baddeley got out of the car and began throwing her belongings into a ditch on N 14th St near E Michigan Ave. Fryman stated while Baddeley was doing this, she reached into the car, turned the ignition off and ran with the keys. Fryman stated she threw Baddeley's keys into a bush around the corner on E Vermont Ave. Fryman stated Baddeley never struck her during the altercation. After speaking with Fryman, I spoke with Baddeley, who was secured in the back seat of my cruiser still. Baddeley's story was consistent with Fryman's except he denies unbuckling her seat belt and denies purposely brake checking to harm her. While speaking to Baddeley, Patrolman Brindack requested EMS be dispatched to the scene at the request of Fryman to be evaluated by medics. Sebring Fire Medic-1 arrived on scene and subsequently cleared with a refusal. Baddeley and Fryman currently have no children together and the child Fryman is currently carrying may or may not be Baddeley's. Contact was made with Baddeley's roommate and it was learned Fryman does not reside with Baddeley on N 13th st, that she only stays there and actually lives in West Salem. Baddeley's roommate declared over speaker phone Fryman does not live there and does not want her back at the residence. Baddeley was taken out of handcuffs and instructed to remain sitting in the back of my cruiser with the door open while I generated a minor misdemeanor citation. Baddeley was issued minor misdemeanor citation #000481 for SCO 509,03(a)(2) Disorderly Conduct and informed of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 0900. Baddeley stated he wanted to pursue theft charges against Fryman for taking his keys out of the ignition, running away and throwing them into a bush. Since Baddeley was successful in retrieving his keys, I informed him to come to the station at a later time to provide a written statement and the report would be forwarded to the prosecutor's office to determine if enough evidence existed for a theft charge to be filed. Baddeley was released from the scene at this time. Fryman's belongings were retrieved from the ditch on N 14th St and placed in the trunk of my cruiser. I provided Fryman with a courtesy transport to the station where she was advised she could wait until a family member or friend could pick her up. While on station, I asked Fryman if she would consent to the video being downloaded from her phone onto a department computer. Fryman consented to my request and was provided with a permission to search form. The form was explained to her and a signature was subsequently obtained. The 42 second video of the altercation was downloaded from Fryman's smartphone onto a department computer. Following receipt of the video, Fryman was escorted back to the lobby to wait for a ride. Chief Harris later informed me after a discussion with the prosecutor, Fryman's actions did not rise to the appropriate level for a theft charge to be considered. Patrolman D.A.

While sitting stationary at the intersection of N. Johnson Road and W. Ohio Avenue, I observed a red Ford Ranger approach the intersection from the west on Ohio Avenue, before turning left and proceeding northbound on Johnson Road. As the vehicle drove past me, I noticed that its exhaust was loud and the rear license plate light was not functioning. I then positioned my patrol car behind it, activated my overhead emergency lights, and initiated a traffic stop on the red Ranger, bearing Ohio registration HJU 4149. Upon approaching the male driver, who was the vehicles sole occupant, I requested his driver license, vehicle registration, as well as proof of insurance. The driver handed me an Ohio driver license that identified him as Michael V. Candella, but was unable to produce the other requested documents, with him advising that the truck belonged to his girlfriend and he was unsure where she kept them. Upon returning to my patrol car, I relayed Candella's information to dispatch, with it being advised that his license was suspended and that the vehicle was registered to a Kaylyn Arkwright. Ptl. Scott arrived to my location at around this time and the two of us again approached the vehicle, with me advising Candella of his suspended license and asking him to step out of the truck. Upon stepping out of the truck, I performed a pat down of Candellas person before taking him back and having him sit in the back of car 304. An administrative inventory of the vehicle was then conducted, with no contraband being located. Upon returning to my patrol car I wrote Candella citation # 031877 for SCO: 335.07 (driving under suspension) and SCO: 337.04 (license plate light required). When asked how soon the vehicles registered owner, who had a valid driver license, could get there, Candella advised within a few minutes. I then decided that in lieu of towing the vehicle, I would allow a valid driver to come pick up it. At around this time, an emergency call came in and Ptl. Scott cleared from the scene, with me remaining on the stop. Due to Arkwright not arriving in a timely manner and the ongoing emergency call that Ptl. Scott was on, I issued Cordella his citation after he signed for it and was advised of his mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, March 12,2020 at 9:00am. After giving Cordella his copy of the citation I instructed him not to drive and to wait on his girlfriend to get there. I then cleared to assist Ptl. Scott.

While speaking to Thomas, dispatch advised Thomas had a protection order against him out of Stark County with an 'Armed & Dangerous' caution. I could also smell a faint odor of marijuana coming from within the vehicle. I instructed Thomas to exit the vehicle and place his hands against the car so I could perform a pat down of his outer garments for weapons. Following the pat down, I placed Thomas in the back seat of marked unit #304. I informed Thomas he was being secured in the back seat for the following reasons: the 'Armed & Dangerous' caution on his protection order and because of the odor of marijuana which provided probable cause for a vehicle search. I notified dispatch to summon a tow truck to the scene to remove the vehicle from the roadway and informed Thomas to phone a ride to pick him up. An administrative inventory and probable cause vehicle search was conducted. Nothing of significant value was found during the inventory and the probable cause vehicle search yielded no contraband or weapons.

I then instructed Mr. Apple to remain in his vehicle, with me returning to my patrol car to write him his citation. Upon returning to my patrol car, I wrote citation # 031550 to Mr. Apple for SCO 333.03 Speed: Over Limits (48/25). Mr. Apple then signed his citation, was given his copy, as well as made aware of his mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 9:00am on Thursday, February 20,2020. In speaking further with Mr. Apple, although he said that he was unaware of his speed, he did state "if this car was all-wheel drive, you would probably have had me at closer to 60MPH". After issuing Mr. Apple his citation, I cleared from the stop. It should also be noted that the calibration to car 304's in-car radar unit was checked at both the start of my shift at 15:00 hours as well as after issuing Mr. Apple his citation. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

I asked Thomas if he was just at Circle K and he advised that he was. I then asked Thomas if may have taken something that was back in the beer cooler without paying for it. Thomas advised that he didn't get anything. I then advised Thomas that I observed him on the camera take something and he advised that he did ... I asked Thomas where they were and Thomas took me into his mothers house and took me to his bedroom. Thomas lifted the mattress and pulled out the two Edge Icehouse cans that were still cold. I asked Thomas why he took them and he advised that he didn't know why. I then placed Thomas in custody for theft. I requested assistance from Smith Twp. for transporting Thomas back to station. Thomas was placed in handcuffs that were gapped and double locked. Smith Twp. arrived and transported Thomas back to station. Once back at station it was discovered that Thomas' wrists were bleeding.

Reed #513 At 00:48 hours, On February 9, 2020, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 301. While sitting stationary at the corner of Johnson Road and West Ohio Avenue, I observed a white Chrysler PT Cruiser that was traveling eastbound on W. Ohio Avenue, travel through the flashing four-way stop at the intersection without coming to a complete stop. Upon seeing this, I positioned my patrol car behind the vehicle, also noting that the rear license plate light was not functioning. I then activated my overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop, with the vehicle coming to a stop in the 400 block of W. Ohio Avenue. I also at this point noticed that there were no letters or numbers on the Ohio temporary tag that was attached to the vehicle. Upon making contact with the driver, I advised her of the reason for the stop as well as asked for her driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The driver handed me the requested documents, with her Ohio driver license identifying her as Destinee F. Cowens. In speaking with Cowens, she advised that the temporary tag on her vehicle had been damaged by recent weather. I also noticed the strong odor of burnt marijuana emanating from inside of the vehicle. When asked if there was any marijuana or anything else in the vehicle that I needed to be concerned with, both Destinee as well as the front seat male passenger and backseat female passenger advised that there was not. I then asked both passengers if they would mind giving me their ID'S with the male passenger presenting an Ohio driver license identifying him as Tyler Nichols and the female's identifying her as Jasmine M. Hill. I then returned to my patrol car and relayed the information of all of the vehicles occupants to dispatch. Neither party returned with any warrants and Destinee did have a valid driver license. Due to the odor of burnt marijuana being present I also requested Ptl. Scott to my location, due to him being ARlDE (Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement) certified. Once Ptl. Scott arrived to my location, the two of us again approached the vehicle, with him speaking to Cowen at the driver side and me standing behind the front passenger side window. When advised that we would be performing a search of the vehicle due to the odor of marijuana being present, Cowen reached in the glove box and handed a prescription pill bottle to Ptl. Scott, which had what appeared to be roughly a gram of marijuana inside of it. All three occupants were then requested out of the vehicle. In speaking with Cowen, Ptl. Scott asked her when she had last smoked marijuana, with her replying sometime around 10:00pm. At around this time Cowen also removed the bottle of marijuana from Ptl. Scotts hands, opened it, and then dumped it out onto the road without being instructed to do so. I then began a probable cause search of the vehicle while Ptl. Scott remained with the occupants on the sidewalk. During my search I located 16 burnt marijuana cigarettes in the center console as well as a pack of rolling papers. I then returned to my patrol car and wrote Minor Misdemeanor citation #000302 to Cowen for Sebring Codified Ordnance 513.121 for possessing marijuana paraphernalia in the form of the rolling papers as well as for Sebring Codified Ordnance 513.03 for possessing the marijuana. In addition to these charges I also issued uniform traffic citation # 031549 to Cowen for traffic control devices (SCO: 313.01), and License Plate Light Required (SCO: 337.04). Cowen as advised of her mandatory court appearance at 9:00am on Thursday, February 13,2020, at Mahoning County Court #3. Cowen then signed her citations and received her copies. Both Ptl.

Scott and I departed from the station in marked unit #301 and proceeded to the aforementioned address in an attempt to locate Logan. Upon arrival, a vehicle containing three occupants was observed backing out of the driveway. The driver identified herself as Logan's grandmother and stated Logan was no longer at the residence at 115 E lndiana Ave. Shortly thereafter, dispatch requested all Sebring units phone the station for information. Dispatch advised over the phone information had come in that Logan was with his girlfriend at Dollar General in Beloit in a black Jeep Patriot last seen heading towards Sebring. Ptl. Scott and I located a black Jeep Patriot parked at Circle K with a female in the drivers seat. The woman who had previously stated she was Logan's grandmother, stated the female in the driver's seat is Logan's girlfriend. Ptl. Scott and I approached the vehicle and observed the female driver to be upset. The driver opened the door and we asked her if she was okay and what her name was. The female identified herself as Antonia. We asked if she knew where Logan was and she stated she was supposed to meet him at Dollar General in Beloit but he never showed. I asked Antonia if she knew where Logan might be and she stated he had friends that lived near the Dollar General. Earlier in the shift, Ptl.

Two brothers, identified as Conner and Andrew Herbert, reside at 11 2 Redwood drive and had previously mentioned their friend and his girlfriend (known to them only as "Nia") had been at the residence to help them move some stuff. Acting on the possibility that "Nia" is Antonia, I asked her about Logan's friends and she stated she only knew they were brothers. Utilizing this information, Ptl. Scott and I met with Goshen TWP Police Detective McBride in the parking lot of Mahoning County Court #3. Detective McBride was brought up to speed regarding the case and the primary person of interest having active warrants. We departed from MCC#3 and proceeded to 112 Redwood in Sebring Estates. Upon arrival, Ptl. Scott knocked on the front door several times and shouted "POLICE." Conner Herbert came to the door and Ptl. Scott asked him if Logan was in the residence. Conner stated Logan was in the residence, in a back room with his brother Andrew. Conner appeared to be on edge and afraid but gave us consent to enter the residence to look for Logan. Upon entering the residence, Detective McBride took lead while Ptl. Scott followed and I remained in the first room with Conner. Shortly after I observed Det. McBride and Ptl. Scott enter the back room; Andrew came down the hall and I instructed him to sit down next to his brother. Andrew also appeared to be on edge and nervous. I then overheard Det.

Logan stated he understood his rights, immediately invoked his rights and demanded to speak with his attorney. Logan was escorted from the back room into the first room of the residence. Ptl. Villanueva arrived on scene and advised she was there to check Logan's wallet for more prop money. I informed Ptl. Villanueva in the course of Logan being detained by Det. McBride, no prop money was observed inside of Logan's wallet. After being detained, Logan grew concerned regarding a care source card and asked us to make sure it was in his wallet. It was during this moment no prop money was observed in his wallet. During the course of normal conversation with Logan, I observed a guitar sitting in the first room of the residence and asked Logan about it. Logan blew the guitar off as junk and that another one he had was a gift. Logan asked the Herbert brothers to hold onto his property and mentioned another guitar in a case in the backroom. Logan was escorted to Det. McBride's marked cruiser and placed in the back seat while Boardman dispatch verified the warrants. After two phone conversations with Sebring Chief Harris and Goshen Chief McDaniel, Det.

While sitting stationary along W. Texas Avenue in front of the F.A. Sebring Community Center, I observed a Silver Impala approaching from behind me, at a rate of speed that appeared to be higher than that of the 25 MPH posted limit. Upon activating my rear facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 37 MPH. Once the vehicle passed me, I positioned my patrol car behind it and activated my overhead emergency lights. The Silver Impala, bearing Ohio registration SWF 1679, continued on several hundred yards before pulling into the driveway at 531 W. Texas Avenue. Once in the driveway, the driver of the vehicle, who was the only occupant, stepped out and began approaching my patrol car. I advised the subject to stay put, and met him halfway between my patrol car and the Silver Impala. I then advised him of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license. The subject advised me that his license was suspended but did identify himself by name, date of birth, and social security number as Gerald Edinger, with this information being relayed to dispatch. I was then advised by dispatch that the plates that were on the Impala returned to a trailer that was registered to a Brian Moore. Mr. Edinger heard my radio traffic and admitted that they did belong on a trailer that was in his driveway. Dispatch also confirmed that Edinger's driver license was in fact suspended. I instructed Mr. Edinger to have a seat in his vehicle and that I would be with him shortly with his citation. Mr. Edinger was given citation No. 031548 for Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03 (speed 37 in a 25), Sebring Codified Ordnance 335.07 (driving under suspension), and Sebring codified ordnance 335.10 (fictitious plates). While writing Mr. Edinger his citation, he again approached my patrol car, this time with a registration form for the Impala with his name on it. I then relayed the vehicle identification number that was on the form to dispatch, with it being advised that the cars registered owner was a Judith Evans from Alliance, Ohio. I then asked Edinger if he had insurance on the vehicle, with him advising that he did not. Edinger then signed his citation, was advised of his mandatory court appearance at 9:00am on February 6,2020, and was given his copy of the citation. I then performed a consent search on the vehicle with no contraband being located. Edinger did remove the plates from the Impala while I was there and returned them to the trailer that they belonged on. Due to Edinger's vehicle being in his driveway I decided to exercise discretion and not impound it. It should be noted that the calibration to the in-car radar unit in car 303 was checked at both the start of my shift at 15:00 as well as after issuing Edinger his citation.

Virginia Ave. Samantha advised she confronted her boyfriend Donald Handy (Dale) about using drugs. Samantha advised Dale got angry, grabbed her and held her against the wall. Samantha then advised Dale threw her to the side which made her fall on her ankle and twist it.

On arrival I was greeted by the victim's mother, who walked me into their kitchen where the victim, Samantha Cathey was. Samantha was sitting on a chair, in obvious emotional distress from what looked like a traumatic event. I asked Samantha if she would be able to tell me what happened. Samantha stated "I was at the basketball game when I noticed my child's father, Dale Handy texting someone to get some(drugs). When I asked him about it, he became violent with me, and when we went to the house (376 W. Virginia) Dale put his arms around me, and forced me to the ground." I physically observed several scrapes and scratches that seemed to match the way the victim was describing to me. There were scratches on her chest, right shoulder, and two scratches on her back. I asked Samantha if she needed medical to come check her out, and she refused medical treatment. Samantha also stated to me she would like to pursue charges against Dale Handy. I obtained a witness statement from Samantha, and Sgt. Kelm #503 requested for Ptl. Everhart #514 to go to the residence of 376 W. Virginia to speak with Dale. Ptl. Everhart informed both officers that Dales vehicle was at the location, but Dale was not answering the door. I then obtained photographs of Samantha's injuries, then gave Samantha a copy of the instructions for filing for a protection order, and victims rights. Both officers instructed both parents and Samantha to not be in any contact with Dale, and to call police if he shows up on their property. After ensuring no further questions for either officer, both units cleared without further incident. Ptl.

Everhart while in a marked police cruiser was traveling West on Texas Ave. when I observed a vehicle also traveling West on the same road swerve towards the other lane and also drove over the white edge line several times just past the intersection of S. 15th St. The vehicle then continued going West and I then positioned myself behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle then stopped on Texas just past the intersection of lSh St. The vehicle was a Black 2004 Jeep Cherokee bearing Ohio registration HWU9038. At this point, I then exited my cruiser and approached the driver side and informed the driver of the reason for the stop and requested their driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I just received a valid license only. The driver was later identified as Andrew Adams. I then asked Andrew if there was anything illegal in the car and he advised me that there was nothing in the vehicle. I then asked Andrew if I could perform a consent search and he stated that he would not allow me to perform one. There were also 3 additional passengers in the vehicle. The front seat passenger was later identified as Noah McCammon. I then looked in the backseat and I was visually able to identify both passengers later identified as Jeramey Norton and Dylan Holmes. Both individuals had active warrants through other agencies. At this point, I then went back to my cruiser to start writing the citation. I then advised dispatch to have K-9 Officer Redfern come to the scene to have K-9 Ollie perform a sniff of the vehicle. Ptl. Redfern then arrived to the scene shortly after and we had all 4 individuals step out of the vehicle. I then informed all of them that I was going to perform a Terry Pat-DownBrisk for officer safety. Dylan then began to act suspicious and started to yell at me stating, that I was not allowed to pat him down. After talking to Dylan for several minutes he finally complied and allowed me to pat him down. Ptl. Redfern then advised me that the dog indeed had a positive hit on the vehicle for drugs where Dylan was sitting in the vehicle. At this point, all the individuals were detained while Ptl. Redfern performed the probable cause search. After searching the vehicle, no contraband was found in the vehicle and I then allowed Andrew and Noah to sit back in the vehicle. I then had dispatch contact Stark County Sherriff s to see if they wanted Dylan picked up and they advised that they were unable to pick him up. I then allowed Dylan to go back to the vehicle. At this point, I then had dispatch contact Hubbard City Police to see if they wanted to pick up Jeramey on his warrant and they advised that they did want to pick him up at a certain location. (See case number 20001144 for further information on that Warrant pickup). I then issued the citation to Andrew for Weaving Within Lane 331.34 (B) (ORD) and gave him a court date of 01/30/20 at 9:00am for MCC#3 with a personal appearance required. Once Andrew signed the citation, I provided him with a copy and I then cleared the scene without further incident. Ptl.

Scott #505 While a dual unit on patrol in a marked police cruiser I Ptl. Scott and Ptl. Brindack was on S. 12th St. near US RT 62 and observed a Silver 2016 Dodge van bearing Ohio registration HDR9936 fail to activate a turn signal before turning west on US RT 62. I continued patrol behind the vehicle and the vehicle went off of the right side of the road multiple times. Due to the vehicles pattern of driving I attempted to initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle on US RT 62 and S. 15th St. I could see through the back windshield movement as the vehicle continued to slow down but continued west on 62 and finally came to a complete stop. I could still see movement inside the vehicle. Ptl. Brindack and I approached the vehicle, I approached the driver side and Ptl. Brindack approached the passenger side. I made contact with the driver and informed him of the reason of the stop and requested his driver's license but the driver stated that he did not have it on him, I then asked the driver for his name, date of birth, and social security number which he gave me the name of Darryan L. Mcknight. I could see one front passenger identified as Sara Dobrunick who was the registered owner and one back seat passenger who was putting his hands in his pockets and in the seat next to him and under his seat. I ordered him to put his hands on the ceiling of the vehicle. The driver then took his hands off of the steering wheel and moved his hands towards the center console and I ordered every on in the vehicle to place their hands on the ceiling. I asked the driver if there was anything illegal in the vehicle and he stated no. The driver was sweating profusely and appeared to be nervous. I asked the driver for a consent search of the vehicle which he stated that the vehicle was not his but was Sara's. I t hen asked Sara and she gave me consent to search the vehicle. I had all the occupants exit the vehicle one at a time. I patted the back seat passenger down later identified as Gregory Myers. I told Gregory to face the rear of the vehicle (Trunk) and put his hands on the windshield and great distance between his feet for a pat down for officer safety. Gregory then leaned forward putting his torso and pelvis completely on the back of the vehicle. I told Gregory to step back multiple times because Gregory was only taking small steps and I observed a small piece of napkin like paper attached to the rear of the vehicle due to it raining and the vehicle being wet. I opened the napkin and observed multiple pills labeled Mylan A1 which was identified as benzodiazepines a schedule 4 narcotic, Gregory stated that they belonged to the driver after they were recovered. All the occupants were detained and placed in separate cruisers which were called to the scene. Since the pills came from a passenger which was in the vehicle the vehicle was searched due to probable cause. Upon searching the vehicle the only other contraband that was recovered was a glass smoking pipe with white residue inside in the back passenger area on a seat that was next to the seat Gregory was sitting in, the item was confiscated. The driver then told me he gave a false name due to him having a warrant, The driver then gave me the correct information and was identified as Shelton Dailey who had and active warrant out of Stark County. Stark was sent a hit confirmation which they responded saying they would meet at Tail Gators for to take Shelton into custody, Ptl. Everhart transported Shelton to the location and transferred Shelton into the custody of the Stark County Sheriffs Office. Sara was released and was allowed to take her vehicle, Gregory was placed into custody and read Miranda rights and search a final time with only having a cell phone and $40 ( two $20 bills) which was confiscated due to the currency possibly being affiliated with narcotics. Gregory was transported to the station where he was told his charges, ORC 2925.11C2 M-1 Possession of drugs / ORC 2925.12 M-2 Possessing Drug Abuse Instruments / ORC 2925.14 M-4 Drug Paraphernalia.

Gregory was advised of his court date of 01/16/2020 at 9:00am for the Mahoning County Court #3. Gregory signed his recognizance bond and received a copy and was released. The property was logged into evidence and I will be seeking a warrant for the driver Shelton Dailey for Obstruction of Official Business. Ptl. Scott #505 01/10/2020 ..............................

I observed a Red Kia Rio going to Rocky' Drive Thru with a female driving the vehicle. I knew the registered owner of the car to be that of Kylie Lanave. I ran Kylie through dispatch and found that she was suspended with driving privileges. I positioned my cruiser in an empty lot by the railroad tracks so that I could get a clear view of the driver when the vehicle came out of the Drive Thru. The vehicle exited the Drive Thru and crossed the path of my headlights and I was able to visualize Kylie Lanave as the driver of the vehicle. I then initiated a traffic stop and the vehicle stopped on California Avenue at South 15th Street. I approached the vehicle and spoke with Kylie Lanave and Jacob Fullerton who was the valid passenger. Kylie advised that she knows that she was out of her driving privileges, but she needed cigarettes. Kylie advised that she has "family time" on her privileges that ended at 5pm and she should have run her errands then. Kylie presented the privileges which were the original documents signed with Judge Morgan's signature. Kylie was served with a citation for driving under suspension. I asked Kylie to exit the vehicle for an administrative search of the vehicle for the purpose of looking for valuables due to the vehicle being impounded. I asked Kylie if anything illegal in the car because it was going to be inventoried and she stated, "No I don't do none of that anymore, I'm pregnant".

Upon arrival, myself (Ptl. Stanton), Ptl. Scott and Brindack of Sebring Police found a female laying on the porch of a residence. The female identified as Sheila Larkins was attempting to enter the residence believing it to be a different residence. Sheila admitted to attempting to climb over the fence to enter the back yard and also admitted to attempting to climb up the side of the house to enter the second story (the residence did not have a second floor besides the attic). Ptl. Scott and Brindack confirmed Sheilas identity and notified Stark County Sheriffs Office since a warrant was issued against Sheila for a different charge on an earlier date. Sheila had no shoes on her person and was extremely cold from being out in the temperature for a significant amount of time. Sheila also did not make any sense as to her reasoning for being at the residence and was unaware she was not suppose to be there. The residence owners are not pressing charges against Sheila for trespassing at this time. Nothing has been reported as damaged at this time either. Sebring EMS was on scene and treated Sheila for the cold and verified any other medical problems for clearance to go to the Stark County Jail. Since Stark County Sheriffs did in fact want Sheila for her warrant, I transported her to a designated location and met with Stark County Sheriffs, transferring her into there custody.

Marchionda #507) I established contact with Martha Hanshaw in the lobby of the Sebring Police Department. Hanshaw was standing at the dispatcher's window and had blood coming from a cut on her left arm. Visibly shaken and upset, Hanshaw informed me she was attacked by her daughter, Amanda Stovall, at her residence on E Vermont Avenue. According to a voluntary written statement provided by Hanshaw, Stovall was throwing objects at her, threatening to kill her and managed to cut her left forearm with one of her fingernails. Hanshaw stated the incident escalated from a verbal dispute regarding utilities and finances to her screaming obscenities at her. Hanshaw stated Amanda picked up a vase and threw it towards her but missed. Hanshaw stated Amanda then threw a cup of coffee and then her phone at her as well. Hanshaw stated while all of this was happening, Amanda was threatening to kill her and that she threatens her from time to time in the past. Hanshaw stated during the entire altercation, Amdanda's boyfriend, "Andy" (Jesse Hooper) was present. I asked Hanshaw if she wanted to pursue domestic violence charges against Amanda to which she stated she did. A statement of complaint for domestic violence was filled out and signed by Hanshaw. I asked Hanshaw where Amanda was and she answered Amanda left the house with her boyfriend to go to North Jackson. I asked Hanshaw if she wanted medical attention for her injury and she declined but was provided some tissues to wipe the blood away from her arm. Hanshaw signed the medical release form in case she decided to go the hospital at a later time and was also provided a copy of the domestic violence information sheet. While on station typing this report, Amanda phoned the station and admitted there was an altercation but denied assaulting her mother. I asked Amanda if she could come to the station to provide a statement and she answered she was in Youngstown and did not have the gas to make it back to Sebring. I informed Amanda she could come to the Sebring Police Department on Tuesday or Wednesday this week to provide her statement. An warrant for Amanda Stovall for ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence and ORC 2903.13 Assault, both misdemeanors of the first degree, will be obtained from Mahoning County Court #3. Ptl D.

Jackson Police dispatch was contacted and officers from Jackson and Milton Township were sent to the location. Dispatch later advised me Jackson PO had Stovall in custody and they would be transporting her to their station on Mahoning Ave for the custody exchange. I arrived at the Jackson Police Department, 10613 Mahoning Ave, and was met by officers from Jackson and Milton Township. I served Stovall with her copies of the warrants and informed her of her Miranda Rights. Stovall stated she understood her rights and was willing to waive them, but did not provide any pertinent information regarding the charges. I explained to Stovall the charges against her and her court date, Thursday, January 2,2020 at 0900 in Mahoning County Court #3. Stovall asked if she would be able to bond out and I advised her she could bond out at the jail and what her bail amount was. Stovall was photographed in Jackson PD's processing room. Stovall was transported without being in handcuffs due to pre-existing physical conditions that would result in extreme discomfort and possible injury. While en route to the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown, I provided dispatch with a phone number for Stovallls boyfriend and to contact him and let him know where she was being taken to. Upon arrival at Mahoning County Justice Center, Stovall was placed in two sets of handcuffs behind her back (gapped/double locked) and escorted into intake.

Scott #505 12/29/2019 While on patrol in a marked police cruiser unit #302 I Ptl. Scott was traveling westbound on U.S. R.T. 62 when I came to a stop at the intersection at U.S. R.T. 62 and S. Johnson Rd. when the traffic light turned red. There was a vehicle in front of me at the light, the vehicle was a black 200 Volvo SW bearing Ohio registration HFB7893. When the light turned green the vehicle drove westbound and went left of center multiple times. I activated my overhead lights and initiated a traffic stop on 62 in front of the Oak Ridge Motel and the vehicle slowed down and continued westbound and finally pulled into the parking lot of Bistro 62. I exited my vehicle and made contact with the driver I identified as Michael Snyder, I informed him of the reason for the traffic stop and requested his driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. I could immediately detect a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. Michael pulled his wallet from his pants and attempted to find his driver's license but Michael passed his license twice and then pulled out three credit cards. I told him he passed his license and he located it afterwords. Michael searched through the center console and glove department for a short time and found his registration but did not show me proof of financial responsibility. I asked Michael if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to operating the motor vehicle and Michael told me that he did. By this time Ptl. Peterman as well as Ptl. Sorokach (Smith Twp.) arrived, Ptl. Peterman shut off his and my front overheat lights, and Ptl. Sorokach shut his off as well. I asked Michael if he would submit to field sobriety testing and he said he would. I had Michael exit his vehicle and I patted him down and took his pocket knife and placed it in his vehicle. I asked Michael if he had any medical conditions and he stated he has high blood pressure that he also takes medication for but he said he had not taken it tonight and that was the only medical issue he has. I asked if his glasses where prescription and he told me they where, I held a pen as a stimulus and asked Michael if he could see the pen with his glasses and he said yes. I asked Michael if he had a head injury recently, fainted, or had been hospitalized recently and he said no. I asked Michael to stand straight up with his hands to his side and feet together while I checked his eyes for equal tracking, equal pupil size, and resting nystagmus. Both of Michael's eyes tracked equally, both of Michael's pupils where of equal size, and Michael did not have a resting nystagmus. The first test was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus and I had Michael stay in the position he was told to be in prior and explained the instructions and when I finished I asked Michael if he understood and Michael told me that he did understand. When the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation, and Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. I then had Michael stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot and instructed him to stay in that position until I told him to start. I explained the instructions and when I finished I asked Michael if he understood them and Michael told me that he did understand. Michael took one step and went off of the line and then stated " Fuck it im not doing this". I then placed Michael in custody for suspicion of OVI. Hand restraints where placed on Michael and he was placed in the rear of marked unit #302 and I read Michael his Miranda rights. A tow was called to the scene and an inventory was done on the vehicle by Ptl. Peterman and a liquor bottle that had the cap seal broken was confiscated. Ptl. Peterman and I cleared the scene to take Michael back to station while Ptl. Sorokach stood by for the towing of the vehicle which was towed by Springer's Towing to 10 N. 12th St. with no hold. Once back at station I started a 20 minute observation period on Michael and read him a BMV 2255 forum which Michael signed. Michael refused to take any chemical test and was marked down as a refusal. Michael was processed, fingerprinted, and photographed. Michael's driving record showed that he had a OVI conviction within 20 years. Michael was issued a traffic citation for OVI(SFST) ORC4511.19(A)(1)(a), OVI(Refusal w/ prior) ORC 4511e19(A)(2)(a), and Left of center ORC 4511.29.

Brindack was at Circle K walking outside to our cruiser when we observed a vehicle blocking the gas pump having difficulty parking when the parking spots where empty, the vehicle then backed up into a parked vehicle at the gas pump and drove to the side of the building and parked. The vehicle was a silver 2003 Ford four door bearing Ohio registration FYD7231. I approached the vehicle that had backed into the parked vehicle and made contact with the driver identified as Robert Webb who appeared to be highly intoxicated, I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I asked Robert if he knew that he backed into a vehicle and Robert replied that "I'm fine I only live 2 blocks away" and continued to repeat that statement through out the incident. I asked Robert if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to operating his vehicle tonight, Robert said "No" and then told me he had "One beer". I told Robert to exit the vehicle and had him stand to the rear of it and asked him if he would perform field sobriety testing, Robert told me he would take the field sobriety tests. I had Robert stand straight up with his feet together and his hands down at his sides and I asked Robert if he had any medical issues and Robert stated no he did not, I asked him if he could see the stimulus with out his glasses and Robert stated that he could. I then checked Robert's eyes for equal tracking, equal pupil size, and a resting nystagmus. Both of Roberts eyes tracked equally, both of Roberts pupils where of equal size, and Robert did not have a resting nystagmus. I then began the first test being the horizontal gaze nystagmus, I explained the instructions and after I asked Robert if he understood and Robert said he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. Robert at times would stop looking at the stimulus which was my ink pen and stare off. The next test was the walk and turn and I explained the instructions to Robert and after I asked him if he understood and Robert said he did. Robert could not balance well enough to put his right foot in front of his left foot and at one point almost falling walked backwards and then fell into the rear of his vehicle. Robert then stated that he could not perform the test so I then placed Robert in custody for suspicion of OVI and placed Robert in hand restraints and placed him in the rear of marked unit #303. I talked to Circle K staff and asked if the vehicle could be left on the property and the manager Brandi Springer said it could for 24 hours so the vehicle was left at Circle K. Robert while in custody stated he has an equilibrium problem and appeared to have medical issues due to his age (72YO). The fire department was requested and arrived and took Robert's vitals and stated that his blood pressure was slightly raised but is normal for an elderly person and told me that he was fine other than the fact of him being intoxicated he was awake and alert and was aware of what was happening. Robert was transported to station and a 20 minute observation period was performed and while doing so I read the BMV 2255 form, Robert signed the form and agreed to give a urine sample and a breath sample. Robert attempted to give a urine sample but stated that he could not due to a bladder infection. I then operated the intoxilyzer 8000 and performed a breath test on Robert and the result was a BrAC0.279. I told Robert his results and informed him that he was being placed under administrative license suspension and was not to operate any motor vehicle. Robert was issued a traffic citation for OVI (SFST) ORC 4511.19(A)(1)(a) and OVI (>.17) ORC 4511.19(A)(1)(h) and DUS ORC 4510.11.

Robert received a copy of the BMV 2255 form as well as a copy of his breath results and gave him a recognizance bond of $1,000 for both OVI offenses which he signed and received a copy which also has his court date. Robert started to make suicidal comments such as " I would be better off dead." and "Can I just die". The fire department was called and Robert refused to go to the hospital and was forced by a emergency admission paperwork that was given to the fire dept. Robert was taken to Aultman Alliance Hospital. Ptl. Peterman also went to the hospital and obtained blood samples from Robert and was packaged correctly and paper work was complete and placed in the refrigerator to be sent for testing. Ptl.

While there we observed a light green ford focus FYD7231 begin backing out of a parking spot and it appeared as though the vehicle was going to strike the vehicle behind it pumping gas. Units began yelling at the driver to stop but we could not get his attention and he struck the vehicle. The ford began driving away and Ptl. Scott ran after it and stopped him before he left the parking lot. I approached the driver of the vehicle that had been struck a Dark colored Dodge RAM HOP7299 and the driver was identified as Scott Persinger, I took down Scott's information and insurance and observed only minor damage to his vehicle as the front bumper that was struck had been damaged prior to the accident. While I was speaking with Scott, Ptl. Scott was speaking with the driver of the green car Robert Webb and It quickly became apparent he was under the influence of alcohol. Ptl. Scott handled the OVI portion while i handled the accident portion. Ptl. Brindack 506 12/27/19 Narrative Ptl. Peterman #511 12/28/2019 On 12/27/2019 1 Patrolman Peterman #511 was called to Circle K for a private property accident. On arrival, Ptl. Scott #505 and Ptl. Brindack #506 were questioning the driver of a red for focus (FYD7231), Robert Webb, on the circumstances of how he struck the silver dodge truck (HOP7299) involved. Ptl. Scott stated him and Ptl. Brindack witnessed Robert back his vehicle into the silver dodge truck, then attempt to leave before both officers stopped him. Ptl. Scott began SFST tests, and I observed several clues including the following: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. Robert at times would stop looking at the stimulus which was the ink pen and stare off. On walking turn test, l observed Robert could not balance well enough to put his right foot in front of his left foot and at one point almost falling walked backwards and then fell into the rear of his vehicle. Robert then stated to PTI. Scott that he could not perform the test so I then placed Robert in custody for suspicion of OVI and placed Robert in hand restraints and placed in the rear of marked unit #303. At station while processing paperwork, as I was interacting with Robert, he made several suicidal statements including one where he states to me "I would rather off be dead". I advised this statement to Ptl. Scott, and Sebring FD was dispatched to our station to perform an evaluation. It was then determined that Robert would be transported to Aultman Alliance Community Hospital for further evaluations. I followed Sebring FD to the hospital in marked unit #301. At the hospital, I requested a blood sample from Robert, who consented to the draw due to being unable to give a urine sample from a bladder infection. I obtained blood samples from Robert, as Robert then made another statement saying "You can get more blood by putting a bullet in my head". I then cleared the hospital back to station with the blood samples. At station, I packaged and labeled the samples properly, and placed it in the refrigerator to be sent for testing. Ptl.

I observed a silver vehicle in my sideview mirror approaching from the west at what appeared to be a rate of speed higher than the posted 35 MPH limit. Upon activating my rear mounted radar antenna, I observed a speed of 53 MPH on the digital display. As the vehicle passed my location, I activated my overhead emergency lights and pulled onto Courtney Rd to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle, a silver Lexus bearing Ohio registration DLV8528, came to a complete stop near the east village limits. Upon establishing contact with the driver, identified as Richard Biery, I identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop. Biery admitted to speeding because he was late for church. Biery provided appropriate documentation upon request. Biery was issued traffic citation #031856 for SCO 333.03 Speed: Over Limits (53/35) and informed of his appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, January 2,2020 at 0900. Patrolman D.A.

Oregon Ave Sebring, OH 44672 Driving Under Suspension (FRA) SCO 335.07 License Plate Light required SCO 337.04 CITED: Kristen Ulmm (AGE 35) 455 W. Oregon Ave Sebring, OH 44672 Wrongful Entrustment SCO: 335.05 On December 22,2019, at 00:20 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While facing southbound on N. 18th street at the Ohio Avenue intersection, I observed a grey Ford Fusion, bearing Ohio registration HAF3092, turn onto N. 18th street from Ohio Avenue and begin traveling southbound towards Oregon Ave. I also noticed that the vehicles rear license plate light was not functional. The Fusion then turned right onto W. Oregon Avenue, with me activating my overhead emergency lights and initiating a traffic stop. Once the vehicle came to a complete stop, I approached and made contact with the single occupant, which was the male driver, and advised him of the reason that he was being stopped. I also asked for his license, registration, and proof of insurance. At this point, the subject said that he didn't have a driver license on him and that he was under suspension. The subject did identify himself as Michael lair, and advised that his date of birth was 02/16/1977. I then asked Mr. Lair if he had driving privileges, with him saying that he didn't think so. Lair also said that he believed that his license was suspended for not having insurance. At this point, I requested Ptl. Scott to respond to my location as well as asked Mr. Lair to step out of the vehicle. Once Lair was outside the vehicle, I asked for and received consent to perform a pat-down search of his person. Lair advised me beforehand that he did have a Leatherman multi-tool on him, which I took possession of and informed him I would keep it with me for the duration of our encounter. I also asked Lair, where he lived, with him pointing to a house directly across the street from where we were. Ptl. Scott then arrived on scene. At around this time, it was confirmed by dispatch that Lair was under an FRA suspension, did not have privileges, and that the bureau of motor vehicles had a confiscation order on his driver license. Lair said that his driver license had already been taken and was unable to provide it to me. It was also found that the vehicle was registered to Lair's girlfriend, Kristin Ulman, whom he resides with. In speaking further with Lair, he gave consent for me to search the vehicle. Ulman also came out of the house at around this time. In speaking with Ulman, I asked her if she knew that Lair's driver license was under suspension. Ulman advised that she was aware that it was. I also asked her if she were aware that he did not have driving privileges, with her stating "I don't go through his mail". I then asked Kristin how long they had been together, with her saying since 2002. I then confronted her with the fact that Lair had been cited for driving under suspension in the last year and that 1 found it hard to believe that she was unaware that he did not have driving privileges. Ulman continued to maintain that she was unaware that he did not have privileges. I then wrote citation 031554 to Mr. Lair for driving under suspension (SCO 335.07) and license plate light required (SCO 337.04). Ms. Ulman was given citation 031545 for wrongful entrustment (SCO 335.05). Both parties were made aware of their mandatory court appearances at 9:00am on 12/26/2019 at Mahoning County Court No. 3.

I then turned my cruiser around and initiated my overhead lights. I then approached the driver side of the vehicle and advised the driver that I was there to check on his well being as well as the passengers well-being. As I was speaking to the driver who was later identified as Dennis Wame, I noticed that the vehicle was in drive and that his foot was on the brake. I then advised Dennis to put the vehicle in park and I then requested for him to provide me his drivers license, proof of insurance and registration in which he provided his driver license but no other documentation. The vehicle was a Red 2018 Jeep Wrangler bearing Florida registration KDPL16. Dennis advised me that he had stopped and pulled over to the side of the road, because the passenger later identified as Kimberly Brown was drunk and that she needed to vomit. As I was speaking to Dennis, I could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. I then asked Dennis if he had consumed any alcohol, and he stated to me that he did not drink anything at all. At this point, I then requested Sgt. Kelm to come to the scene and I then had Dennis step out of the vehicle so that I could perform a SFST to determine if he was impaired. After Dennis stepped out of the vehicle, I then had him stand in between his car and my cruiser and I then shut off the front overhead lights of my cruiser. Dennis then agreed to perform the test and I then instructed him to stand straight up with his arms at his side. I also instructed him to follow the tip of my pen and to not move his head while doing so. Upon conducting the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, I noted equal pupil size and equal tracking in both eyes and no resting nystagmus. However, later on during the test, I noticed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes and also an onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn test. I instructed Dennis to stand with his arms at his side and had him place his left foot in front of his right foot, touching heel to toe while I gave further instructions. I also advised him to not start the test until, I advised to do so. Dennis stated to me that he understood the test and upon performing the test, I noticed that Dennis did not touch heel to toe. Dennis also stepped of the line multiple times and was also swaying and attempting to use to arms to balance himself. Dennis also did not count his steps out loud and after performing the turn, he only completed 7 steps and then stated to me that he was done with the test. It should be noted that the test was ..

I instructed Dennis to stand straight up with his arms at his side and to raise the foot of his choice approximately 6 inches off of the ground and to begin counting out loud in the one thousand one manner until told to stop. Dennis stated that he understood the instructions and he began the test. Upon starting the test, I noticed that Dennis swayed while attempting to balance. Dennis also put his foot down several times and also skipped one thousand 14 while counting. Based on the performance from Dennis as well as my training and experience, I placed Dennis under arrest for suspicion of OVI. Dennis was then placed in handcuffs, which were spaced and double locked. Dennis was then placed in the back of cruiser #303. Dennis at this point, then admitted to me that he had consumed alcohol prior to him picking up Kimberly.

Marchionda #507 11.29.2019 REPORTING OFFICER Patrolmen Brindack #506 On this date Dale Penny called and advised that he saw 3 individuals go inside 365 W New York ave. which is an abandoned house and should not have anyone inside it. Units arrived on scene and began to inspect the outside of the house. Ptl. Marchionda found that the back door was unlocked. Units made entry in the building and began to search the inside. As we approached the attic we noticed a pair of legs begin to walk down the attic stairs we could not see the individuals hands so she was held at gun point as she came down the stairs, we ordered her to put her hands up and she did so, when I observed she had no weapons in her hands I switched to my taser and ordered her to keep her hands up and walk towards me slowly as Ptl. Marchionda handled a male that had come out of another room nearby. The female was identified as Jessica N Warrick, the male was identified as Brandon Court we took both individuals outside and I began to speak with Jessica as Ptl. Marchionda spoke with Brandon. Jessica advised she was allowed to be inside and was cleaning up the house for her aunt and she advised me that she had a key, I had her try the key on the doors and it did not work. Units decided to put the individuals in the back of our patrol cars and finish searching the house, when we did so we observed that Brandon Court had all of his pockets full of small toys that he had taken from inside the house which he indicated were for his 4-year-old son. As I was putting Jessica in my car, she advised she could call the person who gave her permission to be at the house to verify she was allowed to be there, I advised her we would do so after we finished clearing the house. Units reentered the house and began to finish our search of the attic and other rooms in the house we had not been able to check the first time and we found nothing out of the ordinary. By this time dispatch had checked the owner of 365 W New York on the auditor's website listed as laurie Barnett. We then went back outside and began to speak with Jessica and ask who told her she could be inside, as we were speaking with her dispatch advised she had made contact with Brandy Barnett who advised her mother owned the house and had passed away so the house was in probate and nobody had permission to be inside the house and that her family wanted them charged. At this point Jessica was placed under arrest by me and Brandon as placed under arrest by Ptl. Marchionda. Prisoner were mirandized and transported back to the station where we were met by Devon Bamett Heavner who did a statement indicating that she lived in the house that had belonged to her mother, that the house was still in probate, and that she wanted charges. Both Jessica and Brandon were charged with F5 Breaking and entering 2911.13 and M4 criminal trespass 2911.21 both of which were approved by Prosecutor Tholson and given a court date of 12/05/19 at 0900hrs. Jessica did admit to me that she never had permission to be in the house and that they had just gone inside because the door was unlocked. Both parties were booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and DNA was collected from Jessica. Brandon was able to post bail and Jessica was not able to post bond and thus was transported to MCJ by Ptl. Marchionda. Devon Heavner was given all the belongings that Brandon had taken from the house which consisted of old toys, old pennies, and a handful of ammunition all of which was so dirty it was essentially worthless. REPORTING OFFICER: Sean Brindack #506 .............................. REPORTING OFFICER:D.A. Marchionda #507 While Patrolman Brindack spoke with the complainant, I proceeded to the row of houses in the 300 block of W New York Ave behind the American Legion. After speaking with the complainant, Patrolman Brindack arrived and advised the complainant observed individuals enter 365 W New York Ave. Patrolman Brindack and I checked the exterior of the house for signs of forceful intrusion and did not find any. At one point, we both knocked on the front door and announced ourselves as police officers. After no response at the front door, I could faintly hear movement coming from within the house. I proceeded to the back door of the house and found it to be unlocked. After advising dispatch of the unsecure door and to hold radio traffic, Patrolman Brindack and I announced several times after opening the door, "POLICE DEPARTMENT. IF YOU'RE INSIDE IDENTIFY YOURSELF, MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN.'' After shouting into the house multiple times with no answer, Patrolman Brindack and I entered the house with our duty weapons drawn. Patrolman Brindack and I cleared the house systematically, room to room, continuing to announce ourselves and for anyone inside to identify themselves. As we neared the middle of the house, we both observed a pair of legs protrude from what appeared to be an attic access point. We immediately ordered for the unknown individual to show us their hands. The individual continued down the attic ladder until we were able to observe the individual as an adult female. A male then walked into our line of sight from a bedroom and he too was ordered to show us his hands. Patrolman Brindack switched to less lethal and drew his X26P taser while I maintained cover with my duty weapon on both subjects. After Patrolman Brindack gained control of the female subject, I ordered the male subject to walk towards me with his hands visible and switched to less lethal and drew my X26P taser. I gained control of the male subject and holstered my taser and escorted him outside of the house and patted his outer garments down for weapons. Upon feeling several hard objects in his pockets, I was able to look into some of them and observed several toys and other objects in various pockets on his person. The female and male, later identified as Jessica Nicole Warrick and Brandon Lee Court, were advised they were being detained and escorted to marked units #301 and #303. Warrick stated her aunt used to live at the house and she was there to look through it and clean it up. Warrick was wearing a pair of clear plastic gloves when we observed her in the house. Court stated he was there accompanying Warrick to collect toys for his 4 year old son he found in the house. Warrick was placed in #301 and Court placed in #303 pending further investigation. Patrolman Brindack and I re-entered the house to finish clearing the structure to look for more suspects and possible contraband. Upon clearing the rest of the house, we did not locate any more suspects or contraband. The house was subsequently secured from the inside before exiting. After requesting dispatch to check the auditor's website, dispatch advised she found the owner of the property and would attempt to make contact through a number found in CAD. Warrick stated she had a key for the house and used it to gain entry. According to Patrolman Brindack, he had Warrick use the key in front of him and discovered the key did not work. After some time had passed and dispatch hadn't made contact with a property owner, it was decided to release both parties from the scene. In the event contact was made with a property owner and they wanted charges, warrants would be obtained at a later time. After releasing Court from the scene and before releasing Warrick, Patrolman Brindack advised dispatch had made contact with a property owner , and that no one was supposed to be at or in the house. I caught up with Court as he was reaching W California Ave near the American Legion and advised he was being detained again as new information had been received. Patrolman Brindack pulled up with Warrick still in the back seat of #301 and advised the property owner did in fact want charges. I had Court exit #303 and place his hands behind his back. After placing Court in handcuffs (gapped/double locked), I informed him he was under arrest for breaking & entering, criminal trespass and subsequently informed him of his Miranda Rights. Court acknowledged his rights and was placed in the back of #303. I observed Patrolman Brindack arrest and inform Warrick of the charges and her rights before placing her back into #301. Both Warrick and Court were transported to the Sebring Police Department for processing. Patrolman Brindack photographed and fingerprinted Warrick and Court. Patrolman Brindack also obtained DNA from Warrick. Both were allowed to attempt to make contact with friends and family to post bond. Court got in touch with his mother and advised she could pay his bond. Warrick made several phone calls to her father and brother. Court read and signed a Miranda Rights waiver and provided a written statement. In Court's statement, he claims he followed Wanick into the house after watching her use a key to unlock the door. Court wrote he did this because he was told there was a bunch of toys inside and he wanted to check them for his kid. Court wrote he was led to believe Warrick had permission to be there. A bail bondsman from Sly Bonds arrived at the station and Court was able to post bond. Warrick was unable to post bond at the station. Court signed a recognizance of the accused and was informed of his mandatory. appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, December 5, 2019 at 0900 to answer to the charges of 2911.13 Breaking & Entering (F5) and 2911.21 Criminal Trespass (M4). Warrick was transported from the station to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown and informed of hear mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, December 5,2019 at 0900 to answer to the same charges. While en route to MCJC in Youngstown, it was discovered Warrick left property (keys) behind at the station. This property will be kept for safekeeping at the station for Warrick to retrieve at a later time. Patrolman D.A.

Due to the vehicle's registration being expired by seven months and the vehicle not having any operable taillights, it was decided that the vehicle would be towed. Upon advising the driver, Oliver C. Yoho, of this, he was asked by Ptl. Scott to step out of his vehicle and told that he would be allowed to sit in the back of my patrol car to stay warm until his ride could arrive to pick him up or that he would be given a courtesy ride to where he was going by one of us. Once Mr. Yoho stepped out of his truck, I advised him that I would be performing a pat- down search of his person before placing him in my patrol car. I then performed the pat-down, locating a small pocket knife that I advised Yoho that I would keep in my possession for the duration of our encounter. After conducting the pat-down, Yoho began rummaging through his vehicle again, with me telling him that for officer safety, to not do this and to instead tell Ptl. Scott or I what he wanted out of the vehicle and that we would retrieve it for him. Mr. Yoho ignored my request and continued to rummage through the truck, with both Ptl. Scott and I noticing him place a silver container in his left coat pocket. When confronted about this, Yoho said that it was for his pills but refused to show it to show it to Ptl. Scott and I, with him then stepping back toward the bed of his truck and attempting to face away from Ptl. Scott and I. At this point, due to Yoho's non- compliance, I placed him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked, as well as advised him that he was not under arrest but was being detained due to it appearing that he was attempting to hide contraband. I then performed a search of Yoho's pockets, not finding the silver pill container that Ptl. Scott and I had seen him take out of the truck. Yoho was advised at this point that he was obstructing our investigation and could receive additional charges for this. I asked Yoho what was in the container, with him then saying "something he smokes" and that he threw it over there, saying this while nodding toward the grassy area between the street and sidewalk. K-9 Detective Redfern then arrived on scene and along with Ptl. Scott located the silver pill container in the bed of the truck. Mr. Yoho did say at this point that it was crack cocaine inside the container. I then walked Yoho back to my patrol car and read him his Miranda rights, which he said that he understood. I then removed all of the contents from Yoho's pockets, locating a paper bag containing copper wool inside of it, which is commonly used as a filtrate to smoke crack. When confronted with this Yoho did admit that was what he used it for. Yoho was then taken back to The Sebring Police Station where he was charged with one fifth degree felony count of Possession of Drugs (ORC 2925.11), one first degree misdemeanor count of Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments (ORC 2925.12), and one second degree misdemeanor charge of Obstructing Official Business (ORC 2921.31). Yoho was then transported to The Mahoning County Jail after he was photographed, processed and his DNA collected. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

Everhart while in a marked police cruiser was traveling South on Johnson Rd. just before the intersection of Georgia Ave. when I observed a vehicle also traveling South on Johnson Rd. with no license plate lights. I then ran the plates of the vehicle and dispatch advised me that the registered owner had a suspended driver license. The vehicle then made a left onto Georgia Ave. and continued East and I then turned onto Georgia Ave. as well and positioned myself behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle then stopped on Georgia Ave. right at the intersection of S. 2oth St. The vehicle was a Blue 2010 Ford Fusion bearing Ohio registration HSK9726. At this point, I then exited my cruiser and approached the driver side and informed the driver of the reason for the stop and requested their driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I received the suspended license, the registration and no proof of insurance. The driver was later identified as Paige Gamertsfelder. There was also a front seat passenger later identified as Tyrone Boykin who was also suspended. While on my initial approach, I could also smell a strong odor of raw marijuana. At this point, I asked both individuals if they had recently smoked or had any drugs in the vehicle. Tyrone advised me that he has smoked marijuana earlier in the day and Paige advised me that there was marijuana in the vehicle in a baggie, in the center console. I then had both individuals step out of the vehicle and I then performed a probable cause/inventory search. I also at this point advised dispatch to have Springers in route to tow the vehicle.

Everhart #514 11/30/2019 ************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT 11/30/2019 @ 1639 hrs Case No.: 19011201 TRAFFIC S Johnson Rd near Grandview Cemetery, Sebring, OH CITED: Troy Foraker 174 W Oregon Ave, Sebring, OH 44672 OVI (SFST) ORC 4511.19A1A / Bond $500.00 OVI (Refusal w/Prior) ORC 45 11.19A2A / Bond $500.00 Left of Center ORC 4511.29 On 11/30/2019 at 1625 Ptl. Marchionda #507 and myself, Ptl. Peterman #511, initiated a traffic stop on S. Johnson Rd. near Grandview Cemetery which resulted in the arrest of the driver for OVI. Ptl. Peterman #511 11/30/2019 I observed a red Jeep traveling north on Johnson road that went left of center, then quickly steering and hitting the right edge of the roadway and crossing the white line. Patrolman Marchionda initiated the overhead emergency lights and the vehicle stopped on the right edge of the roadway. After calling out to dispatch my location, I made a drivers side approach to the vehicle. As the driver rolled down the window, I immediately was met with an odor of an alcoholic beverage. I identified myself, and the reason of the stop for driving left of center to the driver then immediately after asked the driver "I smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage, have you had anything to drink tonight sir?". The driver, Troy Foraker, stated he "had a couple drinks earlier." but did not give a specific time. I asked Troy to shut the vehicle off, and to step out of the vehicle. Troy complied, and I asked him to stand at the front of my patrol vehicle, and as I walked beside Troy, I noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. I had Ptl. Marchionda #507 turn off the front section of the cruisers emergency lights, and asked Troy "Do you wear contacts or glasses?", to which Troy stated "no". I asked if Troy "had vision difficulties", which Troy also states "no". I informed Troy I was under suspicion that he was driving under the influence of alcohol, and would like to perform a series of Field Sobriety Tests to ensure he was okay to drive. Troy complied with my request, and I then began my SFST by placing a stimulus 12-15" in front of Troy's nose and slightly above eye level. I began with checking Troy's eyes for equal pupil size, as well as equal tracking with smooth pursuit. Upon observation, troy showed equal pupil size in both eyes, and clues in both eyes for lack of smooth pursuit. My following test, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation, I observed clues in both Troy's eyes. Onset nystagmus prior to 45 degrees I observed clues in both eyes well before 45 degrees. I started the walk and turn test, but before starting noticed a clue of being unable to balance during instructions. I also observed Troy stopping several times during testing, and using arms to balance himself. The one-leg stand test I observed Troy sway while balancing during the instruction and testing phase, and Troy using his arms to balance several times throughout the testing phase. At the end of my testing, I observed Ptl. Marchionda perform several ARlDE SFST tests to Troy, and at the completion, determined Troy was to be placed under arrest for OVI, then read his miranda rights. Both officers performed an inventory of Troy's vehicle before being towed by Springers Towing. At arrival to station, troy was read the BMV 2255, and asked to submit to a breath and urine test. Troy refused both tests, and a blood sample test. Troy was placed on an administrative license suspension for refusal to take breath, urine, and/or blood sample. Troy was fingerprinted, photographed, and cited for OVI(0RC 4511.19A1a, 4511.19a2a), and Left of center (SCO 331.05), with a court date of 12/5/2019, MCC #3 @0900A.M. Troy was given a recognizance form to sign, received a copy of the BMV 2255, the citation, and the recognizance form. Ptl. Marchionda #507 gave Troy a courtesy ride to his residence upon completion. Both officers then cleared. PTI. Peterman #511 11/30/2019 While patrolling north on S Johnson Rd from US HWY 62 in marked unit #304 with Patrolman Peterman, we observed a red jeep in front of us driving erratically. We observed the jeep first go left of center into the south bound lane and then go across the white line on the edge of the north bound lane. I caught up to the vehicle just north of Grandview Cemetery and activated the overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle, a red Jeep bearing Ohio registration HNB6267, came to a complete stop shortly thereafter. Patrolman Peterman performed a driver side approach while I performed a passenger side approach. While Patrolman Peterman spoke with the driver, I stood by on the passenger side of the vehicle and motioned for the driver to roll the window down. The driver, later identified as Troy Foraker, unlocked the passenger side door and motioned for me to open it. Upon opening the passenger side door, I could immediately smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Foraker. Patrolman Peterman and I had Foraker turn the ignition off and walk back to marked unit #304. I turned off the forward emergency lights so Patrolman Peterman could begin conducting standardized field sobriety testing (SFST). When asked how much he had to drink tonight, Foraker replied he had a couple drinks. Due to traffic beginning to build up in both the north and southbound lanes, I was unable to observe Foraker while Patrolman Peterman conducted the first portion of horizontal gaze nystagmus. I was however able to observe Foraker during maximum deviation and onset prior to 45 degrees. I observed distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation as well as onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. Patrolman Peterman continued with SFSTs while I continued to stand by and monitor traffic. During the instructional stages, Foraker was swaying back and forth, side to side as it appeared he had difficulty maintaining his balance. At the conclusion of SFSTs, I took over and began to administer a series of ARlDE SFSTs, for which I am certified to perform. I observed lack of convergence in both of Foraker's eyes with his left eye having more distinct movement to the outside. For the modified Romberg test, I instructed Foraker to remain standing with his feet touching and hands at his sides. I instructed Foraker to close his eyes, tilt his head back and when instructed to do so, count to 30 not out loud by any manner he chose to. I instructed Foraker when he was finished, to bring his head forward, open his eyes and say "stop." Utilizing a stopwatch, I instructed Foraker to begin. At first, Foraker counted out loud and had to restart the test and reiterate to count to himself. Foraker brought his head forward, opened his eyes and said stop. I asked Foraker what he counted to and how he got there. Foraker stated he counted to 30 by means of one thousand one, one thousand two, etc. At the time Foraker said stop, I stopped the stopwatch and showed Foraker it took him 40 seconds to count to 30. At the conclusion of the ARlDE SFSTs, Patrolman Peterman instructed Foraker to turn around and place his hands behind his back. Patrolman Peterman placed Foraker under arrest and informed him of the charge, suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while impaired and advised him of his Miranda Rights. Foraker was subsequently searched for weapons and placed in the backseat of marked unit #304. I requested dispatch to summon a tow truck to the scene and proceeded to conduct an administrative inventory of the vehicle. A tow truck from Springers arrived on scene and removed the vehicle from the roadway. Patrolman Peterman and I transported Foraker to the SEBRING POLICE STORY for processing. Once at the station, Patrolman Peterman removed the handcuffs and began to read the BMV 2255 to Foraker. At the conclusion of reading the 2255, Foraker refused to submit to breath, urine or blood testing. Foraker's license was seized and he was informed he was now under administrative license suspension and not allowed to operate a motor vehicle from this point forward. Foraker was fingerprinted and photographed. Foraker signed the 2255 form, his citation (4511.19 A1A OVI SFST, 4511.19 A2A OVI Refusal w/ Prior and 4511.29 Left of Center) a recognizance of the accused and provided copies of each. Foraker was informed of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, December 5,2019 at 0900.

Johnson Rd. near the Precious Cargo day care center when I observed a vehicle go left of center multiple times. I activated my emergency over head lights in an attempt to make a traffic stop but the vehicle only slowed down and continued and crossed over Courtney Rd. and stopped just south of the entrance to Sebring Woods and then reversed and then went forward again and then made a complete stop. The vehicle was a red 2012 Dodge Avenger bearing Ohio registration HTV8993 I approached the driver side of the vehicle I observed the female in the driver seat later identified as Kathi Lallie moving around and reaching over in her passenger seat and up on her visor. Kathi cracked her window down and I informed her of the reason for the traffic stop and requested her driver's license, registration and insurance which she gave me her license and a registration card from Michigan and then rolled up her window and began reaching in the passenger seat once more. I knocked on her window repeatedly and asked her to roll it down which she only cracked it again and I asked her where she was coming from to which Kathi stated " Im going for a drive" I asked her are you coming from home? Kathi replied "What home?" Kathi appeared extremely anxious and nervous, I observed Kathi's pupils with reasonable light from my flash light and I could see that her pupils where more dilated than a person's pupils should be when they are exposed to bright lights. I asked Kathi if she had consumed any drugs or narcotics which she said no. Kathi still had the vehicle in drive and kept grabbing the steering wheel and turning it, I told Kathi to put the vehicle in park to which she did and I had to tell Kathi multiple times to stop grabbing and turning the steering wheel. Kathi had two large dogs in the vehicle with her that showed aggression to me as I was standing next to the driver side door talking to Kathi. Based on Kathi's outlandish behavior and believing she is under thein-fluence of an unknown substance I ordered Kathi to exit her vehicle and she said no and that it was her right as a citizen to refuse. Sgt. Davis of the Smith Township Police Department arrived and so did Ptl. Reed. One of the dogs snapped at Ptl. Reed when he was standing next to the vehicle. We continually ordered Kathi to exit the vehicle which she rolled all the windows up and locked all the doors and refused. I requested assistance from the Alliance Police Department due to them having tools to restrain dogs. I also requested the State Patrol for stop sticks in case Kathi attempted to flee with her vehicle, the State Patrol was in Lisbon and Goshen was requested as well. I advised Kathi that she was under arrest and ordered her to exit the vehicle again which she repeatedly refused. Kathi then began speaking oddly about things, stating that she never left the house and that she was not here and picked up a small urn stating it was her daughter, Kathi was displaying signs of loss of reality. Dispatch then advised that Alliance Police had dealt with Kathi earlier for her threatening suicide and allegedly having a fire arm. Kathi then called 911 because officers where telling her to exit the vehicle which was holding up the 911 line for emergencies. Alliance Ptl. Mark arrived and parked his cruiser to the north west of Kathi's vehicle and When Goshen Ptl. Miller arrived he placed stop sticks in the middle of Kathi's vehicle. Sgt. Davis managed to manually push down the front passenger side door's window. I then used to open part of the window and deployed oleoresin capsicum spray on Kathi in an attempt to make her exit the vehicle. Kathi was affected by the spray and moved to the back of the vehicle and then came back to the front of the vehicle. Ptl. Reed then used his collapsible baton and struck the driver side window to in an attempt to allow officers to place Kathi in custody. Kathi then started her vehicle and put it in drive and went around police cruisers almost striking officers and fled on N. Johnson traveling south at a high rate of speed. Dispatch was notified and I got in my cruiser and pursued Kathi. Kathi turned west on Ohio Ave. on Alliance Sebring road which is what Ohio Ave. eventually turns into while following and attempting to stop Kathi I looked at my calibrated speedometer and the speed of my cruiser was at 85 miles per hour while we where in a 45 mph zone. Kathi's vehicle was going back in forth from the west bound lane and then went completely the oncoming lane. Kathi's vehicle failed to stop at 6 traffic control devices while traveling at high rates of speed and then pulled on to a curb lawn at Cambridge St. and Hains St. and exited her vehicle and began to run from the scene. I parked beside her vehicle and exited my cruiser and deployed my taser aiming at the belt line and ordered Kathi to stop which she did not comply, I then deployed my taser which hit Kathi and she fell to the ground and rolled on her stomach and Ptl. Reed placed her in hand restraints. The taser probes where removed by Ptl. Reed and placed into a sharps container. Kathi was advised that she was under arrest and was read her Miranda rights and placed in the rear of marked unit #303. Additional Alliance officers arrived on scene as well as a trooper who assisted us with the incident. Kathi was taken to the hospital by Ptl. Reed. Kathi's mother came out of her house which was right in front of where Kathi stopped her vehicle and took the dogs out of the vehicle. I completed an inventory of the vehicle with the help of a trooper from the State Patrol. Springer's Towing was called and arrived and towed the vehicle to N. 12th St, in Sebring. I cleared the scene and went to Aultman in Alliance to assist Ptl. Reed. Kathi was cleared for the jail and discharged and was brought back to the police department by Ptl. Reed, discharged paper work was obtained by medical staff. Once at station paper work was complete and Kathi continued strange behavior stating she was not here and that she would not see us, stated that she hears voices and birds told her to drink from a bird bath. Kathi was read a BMV 2255 form which she refused to sign and was asked to perform field sobriety testing which she refused and also refused chemical testing, and received a traffic citation for OVI ORC 4511.19A1a, Speed 84/45 ORC 4511.21, Left of Center ORC 4511.29, and Traffic Control Device ORC 4511.12. Kathi refused to sign the citation but did receive a copy of the BMV 2255 forum and the traffic citation. Kathi was placed on Administrative license suspension and was advised of it. Kathi was also advised of her mandatory court date on 11/27/2019 at 1:00pm for Mahoning County Court #3. Kathi was also charged criminally for Failure to Comply with P.O. ORC 2921.331(6), Obstructing Official Business ORC 2921.31 (B), Attempt Assault on a P.O. ORC 2903.13, Resisting Arrest ORC 2921.33, and Disrupting Public Services 2909.04 The appropriate paper work was completed Kathi already had DNA on file and was then transported to the Mahoning County Jail by Ptl. Reed. Pt. Scott # 505 11/24/2019 At 02:23 hours, on November 24, 2019, I overheard radio traffic from Ptl. Scott, advising that he was conducting a traffic stop near the Sebring Woods parking lot on Johnson Road. I immediately proceeded to this location, arriving just after Sgt. Davis from Smith Township P.D. Upon exiting my patrol car, I noticed Ptl. Scott standing at the driver side window of the red Dodge Avenger, bearing Ohio registration HTV 8993, and Sgt. Davis standing near the front passenger side window. As I approached closer, I noticed that the vehicle had two brown pit-bull type dogs inside along with the driver, a white female who appeared to be in her thirties. I then positioned myself near the rear passenger side door, where I overheard Ptl. Scott ask the driver to step out of the vehicle because he believed that she was under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. The driver replied that she was not going to get out of that car, that was did not have to, and that it was her right as a citizen to refuse. The driver did however produce an Ohio Driver License that identified her as Kathi M. Lallie. Ptl. Scott began to explain to Lallie that she was legally required to comply with this request in an effort to persuade her to cooperate, but she continued to refuse to step out of the vehicle. Lallie also began reaching around the car was well as begun to repeatedly turn the steering wheel in different directions. At this point it was explained to Lallie that if she did not cooperate, the windows to her vehicle would be broken out in order to remove her from the car. Lallie continued to refuse to cooperate, instead demanding that she be able to see officers' hands because she believed that she was in danger. Both Ptl. Scott, Sgt. Davis, and I attempted to gain voluntary compliance from Lallie by explaining to her that we did not want to hurt her and that we were concerned that if we were forced to physically remove her from her car that her dogs would attack us and we would possibly have to taser, pepper spray, or shoot them in order to protect ourselves. It was then advised by dispatch that Alliance Police had an officer on his way with a noose, should we have to force entry into the vehicle and the dogs become aggressive. Goshen P.D. also was called to bring stop sticks to place under Lallies tires. Lallie also at around this time made a call to 911 on her cell phone, with dispatcher wheeler answering. Several minutes later, both Ptl. Miller from Goshen as well as Ptl. Mark from Alliance arrived on scene. Stop Sticks were placed in front of the rear tires to Lallie's car and Ptl. Mark stood by with the noose. Ptl. Scott then sprayed O.C. spray into the vehicle through a small crack on the passenger side. Lallie appeared to be slightly affected by the O.C. but still refused to open the door and step out of the car. Due to Lallie continuing to refuse to cooperate, I deployed my baton in an attempt to break out her front driver side window. While I was doing this, Lallie placed her car in drive and pulled into the parking lot of Sebring woods before beginning southbound on Johnson Road. Ptl. Scott, Mark, and I began to pursue, with Scott being the lead vehicle, me behind him and Mark behind me. Lallie then turned right onto Alliance-Sebring road, with her failing to stop at the traffic control light at the four-way intersection, going westbound into Smith township at speeds between 80 and 90 MPH. Once inside the city limits of Alliance, Lallie went left on Arch Street, traveling southbound until coming to Cambridge street where she turned right. Lallie then stopped her car near the intersection of W. Cambridge Street and Haines Avenue, where she began running toward the porch to a house. Ptl. Scott then deployed his taser, with one probe striking Lallie on her left thigh and the other on the left side of her torso. Lallie immediately fell to the ground. I then placed her in hand-cuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked. I then conducted a pat-down search of Lallie before removing the taser probes and placing her in the back of car 303. While attempting to place her in the back of my patrol car, lallie began to physically resist, and did attempt to kick me while I was placing her in the back seat. Lallie was then taken to Alliance Community Hospital, where she was examined by a physician who found nothing medically wrong with her. Once discharged, Lallie was brought back to the Sebring Police Station where she was processed. Lallie was charged with a felony 3 count of failure to comply with order or signal of police officer (ORC 2921.331), a felony 4 count of disrupting public services (ORC2909.04), a felony 5 count of Obstructing official business (ORC 2921.31), a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest (ORC2921.33), attempting to assault a peace officer (ORC 2903.13), Speed (ORC 4511.21) (84 in a 45 zone), OVI 4511.

Her bond total was $16,750.00 and her court date was set for 1:00pm on Wednesday November 27,2019, at Mahoning county court #3. Lallies two dogs were left with her mother. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

Scott initiated a traffic stop that resulted in the arrest of the driver for OVI. Ptl. Scott #505 11/19/2019 I was on patrol in a marked police cruiser on W. Virginia Ave. traveling east when I noticed a vehicle a couple of blocks ahead of me driving erratically, driving left of center multiple times. I attempted to catch up to the vehicle but the vehicle turned south on N. 12th St. and came to a stop at a red light at the intersection of N. 12th St. and E. Ohio Ave. The vehicle then turned west on E. Ohio Ave. and while driving the vehicle came close to hitting the curb. I then activated my emergency over head lights and initiated a traffic stop on E. Ohio Ave. and N. 13th St. The vehicle was a whte 2012 Chevrolet four door sedan bearing Ohio registration FOH7595. I approached the driver side and made contact with the driver later identified as Theresa King. I detected a strong odor of perfume fragrance when I spoke to Theresa. I informed her of the reason I had stopped her and requested her driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance which Theresa gave me. I asked Theresa where she was coming from and she stated home which she also stated was on Homeworth road in Alliance. I asked her why she was W. Virginia Ave. if she was traveling home and Theresa changed her story and said that she was on her way to an alcoholic's anonymous meeting on Pine Lake Rd. While speaking to Theresa I could detect a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle, I asked Theresa if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to operating her vehicle and Theresa stated no. I asked Theresa a second time and she stated that she had only one beer. I also noticed that next to Theresa's left leg was a burning ash from a cigarette burning her seat and she did not notice. I asked Theresa to exit her vehicle so she could preform field sobriety testing in which she agreed to, Ptl. Villanueva arrived to assist at this time. I turned off the front over head lights as did Ptl. Villanueva so it would not interfere with sobriety testing. I instructed Theresa to stand towards the rear of her vehicle with her hands to her side and her feet together while I asked her some questions. I asked Theresa if she had any medical or physical conditions which she said no, I asked Theresa if she took any medication which she said yes for high blood pressure, I asked Theresa if she wore corrective lenses which she stated yes, I asked Theresa if she could see properly while standing outside of her vehicle which she stated yes. Before starting any exercise I checked Theresa's eyes for a resting nystagrnus, equal tracking, and equal pupil size, Theresa did not have a resting nystagmus, both of her eyes tracked equally, and both of her pupils where of equal size. The first exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, I explained the instructions and after doing so I asked Theresa if she understood in which she stated yes, Once the exercise began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next exercise was the Walk and Turn, I instructed Theresa to stand with her arms to her side and place her right foot in front of her left foot and to stay in that position while I explained the instructions and after doing so I asked Theresa if she understood in which she stated yes, Once the exercise began I observed the following clues: Did not touch heel to toe, Stepped off of the line, Used arms to balance, and Improper turn. The next exercise was the One Leg Stand, I instructed Theresa to stand straight up with her hands to her side and her feet together while I explained the instructions and after doing so I asked Theresa if she understood in which she stated yes, once the exercise began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, Used arms to balance, and put foot down three separate times ending the exercise. Based on the clues gathered from the exercises and my experience I placed Theresa in custody for suspicion of OVI and placed her hands in hand restraints and double locked them as well as reading her the Miranda rights, I then had Ptl. Villanueva pat Theresa down and place her in the rear of marked unit #301. An administrative inventory was preformed on the vehicle and all valuable property was listed on a tow sheet. Springer's Towing was called to the scene and the tow truck driver signed the tow sheet and towed Theresa's vehicle to Springer's on 10 N. 12th St. I transported Theresa to the station for processing. Once back at station I removed Theresa's hand restraints and checked to see if Theresa had anything in her mouth which she did not so I started a 20 minute observation period. I read Theresa a BMV 2255 forum which she signed and Theresa agreed to give a urine sample and a breath sample. Ptl. Villanueva observed Theresa give the urine sample and brought it into the sample to the table in the squad room when Theresa was finished and the appropriate paper work was completed and the sample was packaged and placed in the refrigerator in the squad room. After the 20 minute observation period was complete Theresa gave a breath sample which showed a BrAC = 0.098 which is over the legal limit of 0.08. Theresa was issued a traffic citation for left of center ORC 451 1.29, OVI(SFST) ORC 4511.I 9A1a, and OVI(<.17) ORC 4511.19A1d which Theresa signed and was given a copy of.

I then advised Laura I could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person, and if she had anything to drink. Laura stated "I had two glasses of wine about four hours ago". I then advised that I wanted to give a field sobriety test to ensure she was okay to drive, to which she consented to. As I began my field sobriety test, I immediately noticed clues of lack of smooth pursuit and poor tracking in both left, and right eyes. As I started the test of distinct sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, both eyes showed clues, and upon my final test, angle of onset prior to 45 degrees, I saw clues in both eyes as well. Upon completion of that portion of SFST, Laura stated to me "oh, I have an issue with my knee", to which I stated "I will be putting that into account, but why did you not tell me earlier?", she stated " I forgot to tell you", to which Ptl. Scott, and myself requested assistance of EMS to examine Laura. After EMS cleared Laura, I attempted to show her the stance for the walk and turn test, and she was unable to place her right foot in front of her left foot without stumbling over. Laura became slightly agitated at this point, to which I asked "are you refusing the walk and turn test?" to which she was refusing to comply with giving me an answer. Ptl. Scott, and myself then placed Laura Hamby under arrest for suspicion of OVI 4511.19. At this point, Laura became belligerent, swinging her arms around. Both officers assisted Lauras arms behind her back and placed handcuffs on her arms, as well as double locking them and testing for fitment. Laura was placed in the back of my patrol vehicle, at which time I took photographic evidence of the scene, then cleared to station. Upon arrival at station, I walked Laura into the squad room, and read the BMV 2255 to her as she followed along on a copy I gave her. I stated we could not tell her, or convince her whether to take a breath and urine test, or refuse. Laura consented to both. after her breath test results, I told Laura the legal limit in the state of Ohio was .08 BAC. I then advised Laura she had a breath test result of .192 BAC, and was now under arrest for OVI 4511.19 A(1)a, and OVI 4511.19 A(1)h, as well as Failure to yield 4511.43(A), with an administrative license suspension. Laura then gave DO Wheeler a urine sample. Laura was given a recognizance bond to appear in court at MCC#3 a0900A.M. November 21, 2019. I then cleared without further incident. ....................... On 11/15/2019 I Ptl. Scott responded US RT 62 and S. Johnson Rd. for a motor vehicle accident with entrapment and injuries. Upon arrival I observed two vehicles in the west bound lane, a SUV with front end damage and a sedan with front end damage on the right side of the SUV. Occupants of the SUV where not entrapped and where able to exit the vehicle which is when EMS arrived and assessed the individuals for injuries. The driver of the sedan was still in the vehicle. Ptl. Peterman had the individual identified as Laura Hamby sit in his patrol car with him while he ran her information and asked her if she had any injuries which she stated that she did not. Ptl. Peterman stated he detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage and asked Laura to submit to field sobriety testing in which she did. I observed the Horizontal gaze nystagmus exercise and I saw multiple clues. Laura then complained of pain in her right leg. EMS assessed her and Laura was fine to complete the field sobriety. Laura attempted to do the walk and turn exercise but was unable to complete and was placed into custody for suspicion of OVI and Ptl. Peterman and Sgt. Kelm left the scene to process Laura at station and run a breath test. I remained on scene to direct traffic with Ptl. Tousant who arrived to assist since the accident was impeding traffic. The State Patrol was called to assist and they drew the sketch of the accident. Springer's Towing arrived on scene and the vehicles where inventoried and towed to 10 N. 12th St. The two other individuals from the SUV signed refusals and where released and obtained rides home. Once the vehicles where towed and the debris was removed from the road way all units cleared. I returned to station and assisted with paper work with Ptl. Peterman, Laura blew a BAC of 0.192 received all appropriate paperwork including a recognizance bond from Ptl. Peterman and was advised of her court date on 11/21/2019 at 9:00am for MCC#3 and was released to her brother. Ptl.

Vermont Ave. CITED: Donald Unkefer (AGE 33) 710 Valley St. Minerva OVI 4511.A1A / BOND $500.00 Failure to Control 4511.202 DUS-License Forfeiture 4510.11 On 11/11/2019 I was dispatched to a call for service that resulted in an OVI arrest. Sgt. Kelm #503 11/12/2019 On 11/11/2019 I was dispatched to 126 E. Vermont Ave. for a suspected unoccupied suspicious vehicle. Upon arrival I observed the vehicle, a light green in color Chevy Trail Blazer (HTG9198) which still had the engine running. I ran the registration which came back to Teresa Unkefer, 710 Valley St. Minerva. Upon further investigation I observed a male, later identified as Donald L. Unkefer, 710 Valley St. Minerva, slumped over in the drivers seat. I knocked on the window to attempt to gain the attention of Donald with negative results. I then opened the door which startled Donald and he awoke. I then had Donald step out of the vehicle. While Donald stepped out he began to yell in pain and was having trouble standing up. I asked Donald if he needed medical attention and he replied that he did not. I then asked Donald where he was headed and he replied "the sand and gravel pit". Donald was also mumbling unintelligibly I advised Donald he was parked in someones front yard to which he replied "I sure am ain't I?". At this time Det. Redfem arrived on scene to assist. I was unable to smell the odor of alcohol but due to Donald's behavior I determined I would have him conduct standardized field sobriety tests to ensure he was able to drive. I asked Donald if he had any medical problems with his eyes or anything that would hinder his ability to complete field sobriety testing and he advised he did not. I then began conducting standardized field sobriety test beginning with the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN). I instructed Donald to stand straight up with his feet together and arms at his sides. I then held my pen (black in color) approximately 12 inches from his face and asked if he could see the pen and he advised he could. I then asked Donald if he could tell me what color my pen was and he replied "white". I then checked for resting nystagmus which was not present and ensured both Donald's pupils were of equal size. I did observe Donald's right eye to have a crust formed around it and it appeared he had a lazy eye. I then attempted to check Donald for equal tracking. As I moved my pen Donald's eyes were not moving. I advised Donald multiple times to follow the pen with his eyes and his eyes only. Donald replied he could still see the pen. Due to Donald not being able to complete the HGN I then instructed Donald to stand with his right foot in front of his left foot heel to toe with his hands down at his sides while I demonstrated the walk and turn test. I instructed Donald not to start the test until I told him to. I advised Donald to take 9 heel to toe steps and after the 9th step to make a series of small steps to turn around to the other direction and take 9 more heel to toe steps. I demonstrated so he would understand. While giving the directions for the walk and turn Donald used his arms to keep his balance and moved his right foot to the side several times. I then told Donald to begin the test. Donald stepped off the line several times, did not touch heel to toe, and when he was instructed to make a series of small steps to turn around he jumped into the air and spun his body around. I then advised Donald the last test would be the one leg stand. I instructed Donald to stand with his feet together and arms at his sides. I instructed Donald not to start the test until he was told to do so. I advised Donald when he was told to start to pick either foot and raise it in front of him approximately 6 inches off the ground, toe pointed forward, and count one thousand one, one thousand two and so on until told to stop. Once Donald began the test he used his arms to balance, and touched his toe to the ground several times. At this time I placed Donald under arrest for OVI. Donald was handcuffed (gapped, and double locked) and placed into the rear of unit 302. Det. Redfern then had dispatch call for a tow truck. Myself and Det. Redfern then began an inventory of the vehicle(see tow sheet). Springer's Towing arrived on scene and took the vehicle to 10 N. 12th St. I then transported Donald to the station to be processed. Once at the station, Donald was read the BMV 2255 and he advised he agreed to blood, breath, and urine tests. I operated the intoxilyzer which yielded a result of .000 BAC. Donald advised he was unable to urinate at this time but agreed to a blood draw. Ptl. Peterman arrived on shift at this time and transported Donald to Alliance Hospital to have his blood drawn. Once Ptl. Peterman cleared from the hospital Donald was transported back to the station where he gave a urine sample but it was dropped and spilled on the floor. Donald was issued a citation for OVI 4511.19A1A, Failure to Control 4511.202, and DUS-License Forfeiture 4510.11. Donald's drivers license was also seized due to him driving while his license was suspended. Donald was advised of his court date at MCC#3 on 11/14/2019 at 0900hrs. Donald was then released on $800 recognizance bond and released to his mother Teresa Unkefer. Sgt.

Oregon Ave Sebring, OH 44672 Petty Theft (M-1) 2913.02 / Bond $1,250.00 At 02:14 hours, on November 10, 2019, I was dispatched to Circle K, at 205 E. Ohio Avenue, in reference to a shoplifting complaint. Upon arrival, I made contact with the complainant, Cole Gibbons, who was the clerk on duty. Mr. Gibbons advised that a male subject, who he knows to be (JUVENILE), had just been in the store and placed what he believed was an Aux cord in his pocket before leaving without paying for it. Mr. Cole advised that he was able to very clearly see (JUVENILE) place the item in the pocket of his grey hoodie before he left the store. Mr. Cole advised that (JUVENILE) was probably now at Eddie Woodley's house. Ptl. Scott and I then proceeded to Eddie Woodley's residence, at 174 E. Oregon Avenue. Once there, I made contact with an adult male subject at the front door. In speaking with the subject he advised that (JUVENILE) was inside and gave me consent to enter. Once inside, (JUVENILE) came down from the upstairs area. I asked him if he had just been at Circle K, with him saying that he had been. When asked if he had taken anything without paying for it he initially denied that he had, but when I informed him that I would be going back to watch the security footage of the store, he advised that he had stolen a pair of Pug sunglasses. When asked where they were, (JUVENILE) picked them up off of a table in the front room and gave them to me. I then advised (JUVENILE) that I would be detaining him until it could be determined if Circle K would like to pursue charges regarding the matter. After advising (JUVENILE)of this, I placed him in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and doubled locked, as well as conducted a pat down of his person for weapons. It was then determined by Ptl. Scott that staff at Circle K wanted to pursue theft charges in the matter. I then read (JUVENILE) his Miranda rights, which he said that he understood, advised him that he was now under arrest, and placed him in the back of car 301. Once back at station, (JUVENILE) was processed and photographed as well as given a $1,250.00 own recognizance bond. (JUVENILE) was advised that he will have an initial appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 9:00am on Thursday, November 14, 2019. Due to the finger print machine not working, Ptl. Scott advised that he will bring (JUVENILE) back to station after his court appearance on Nov 14 and attempt to finger print him then. (JUVENILE) was then released from custody. After releasing (JUVENILE) from custody, I again returned to Circle K to speak with Clerk Cole Gibbons. Mr. Gibbons provided me with a voluntary witness statement and was able to tell me that the Pug sunglasses that (JUVENILE) had taken were valued at $13.99, determining this by using an identical pair that was still on the shelf of the store. Cole advised that an assistant manager will be in later in the day and that they would be able to say if they wish to have a notice of restriction placed on (JUVENILE). The sunglasses will be secured in evidence locker #2. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

The red Saturn, bearing Ohio registration HCF8065, came to a complete stop near 436 W Virginia Ave. Upon establishing contact with the driver, identified as Randall Berger, he immediately admitted he was in the wrong and thought I was going to stop at the intersection. Berger provided appropriate documentation upon request. When Berger realized he was receiving a traffic citation, his demeanor began to deteriorate and he became agitated. Berger demanded to know why he was receiving a citation when he stopped at the stop sign. I informed Berger he was receiving a citation because he failed to yield after stopping at the stop sign and that him failing to yield could have caused an accident. Berger began to rant about events not related to the traffic stop and complain he never receives a break. Berger was issued traffic citation #031749 for SCO 331.19 Operation of Vehicle at Stop Signs and informed of his appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, November 21,2019 at 0900.

I proceeded West along Pennsylvania in an attempt to catch up to the vehicle. Upon coming up to the vehicle, I read the license plate to dispatch (HRV 1296), and was advised it returned to Christopher Guildoo. Upon initiating my overhead emergency lights, and audible siren, I approached the vehicle that was stopped at 555 W.

At this time K9 det. Redfern showed on scene to assist in my investigation. I asked Christopher for his identification, and also to advise him that his exhaust was too loud for village ordinance.

Upon conducting a welfare check of the subject in the 400 block of S. 14th Street, she was arrested for OVI. October 27, 2019, at 02:08 hours, I was in the dispatch area of the Sebring Police Dept. when Dispatcher Wheeler received a 911 call from a female subject who said that she had crashed her car before hanging up. Dispatcher Wheeler then called the phone number back, making contact with the female subject again, who identified herself as Kylie Lanave. Dispatcher Wheeler advised that Lanave said that she had been fighting with her boyfriend, that she was at her mother's house, and that everything was okay. Due to the suspicious nature of the Lanaves call, Ptl. Scott and I decided to check Kylies mother's house at 448 S. 14th street to check on her well being. Upon arriving at the address, we made contact with the boyfriend of Kylie's mother at the side door to the residence, with him advising that Kylie was not there. Ptl. Scott and I noted that Kylie's Red Kia was not in the driveway either. Because it appeared that Kylie was not at her mother's house and she had said that she was involved in a fight with her boyfriend, who I know to be a Jake Fullerton who lives on W. California Avenue, I began to drive toward his residence while Ptl. Scott remained at her mothers. Immediately after starting toward Fullerton's house, Ptl. Scott advised that he had located Kylie at the front of her mother's residence. Upon returning, I found Ptl. Scott standing by the driver side door of a red Kia Rio, bearing Ohio registration HLD 2133, which was parked on the grassy area between S. 14th Street and the sidewalk in front of Kylie's mothers house. As I exited my patrol car, I overheard Ptl. Scott telling Kylie to step out of her vehicle. After Kylie exited from the driver seat of the vehicle, I noticed the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her person. When asked if she had been drinking at all, Kylie did say that she had been drinking earlier with her mother. Kylie also advised that she had just driven home from her boyfriend's house. When confronted with what appeared to be fresh damage to the passenger side of her car was well as her statements on the phone about having been involved in a crash, Kylie said that she was just trying to make her boyfriend worry about her and had not crashed her car. I also at this point noticed her keys were still in the vehicles ignition and fresh tire tracks were in the yard leading up to the car from 14th street. Kylie then agreed to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests to determine if she were impaired. I then instructed Kylie stand straight up with her arms at her side as well as instructed her to follow the tip of my finger with her eyes and not to move her head while doing so. Upon conducting the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, I noted equal pupil size and equal tracking in both eyes and no resting nystagmus. In going further with the test, I noticed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, as well as onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn test. I instructed Kylie to stand with her arms at her side and her right foot touching heel to toe with her left foot while I gave her further instructions. I also told her not to begin the rest until I advised to do so. Kylie said that she understood after having the test explained to her several times. Upon performing the test, I noticed that Kylie did not touch heel to toe, as well as stepped of the line on multiple instances. It should be noted that the test was conducted on level and flat pavement. After completing the walk and turn test, I gave Kylie instructions on the one leg stand test. I instructed Kylie to stand straight up with her arms at her side, and to raise the foot of her choice approximately six inches off of the ground and to begin counting out loud in a one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three manner until told to stop. Kylie said that she understood. Upon starting the test, I noticed that Kylie swayed while attempting to balance, as well as put her foot down three times, resulting in the test being ended. Based on Kylie performance on the tests as well as my training and experience, I placed her under arrest for suspicion of OVI. Kylie was then placed in handcuffs, which were spaced and double locked, before being secured in the back of car 303. I then read Kylie her Miranda Rights, with her saying that she understood and wanted to talk to me about the incident. Kylie went on to say that she had been drinking with her mother earlier in the evening before going to her boyfriend's house on W. California Avenue. Kylie went on to say that she had consumed either three beers and two jack and cokes or three jack and cokes and two beers, and that she couldn't remember which it was. When asked how long she had been sitting in her vehicle before we made contact with her, she advised not long, possibly around five minutes. Once back at station, I read the BMV 2255 form to Kylie with her then signing it. Kylie then provided a urine sample, which was monitored by Dispatcher Wheeler. After a 20- minute observation period a breath sample with was collected by Ptl. Scott as well. Kylie's breath sample showed her BAC to be at 0.220. After being fingerprinted and photographed, Kylie was given citation #031543 for OVI (ORC4511.19A1A and 4511.19A1H), due to her BAC being over 0.17. Kylie was then given a $1000.00 own recognizance bond and advised of her mandatory court appearance at Mahoning county Court 3 on Thursday, October 31, 2019, at 9:00am. After Kylie left the police station, I checked the area between her boyfriend's house and hers for a possible spot that she could have crashed her car with none being located. Nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl.

The vehicle pulled into the driveway of 535 W Ohio and I followed it, going forward with the traffic stop. I made contact with Brian A. Chernikovich who was the driver of the vehicle. I advised Brian of the reason for the traffic stop and he was aware his headlight was out stating that it blew out while he was driving it tonight. I ran Brian through Dispatch since the vehicle did not belong to him and Dispatch advised he is suspended through non-compliance. I advised Brian of this and he was surprised stating that he was unaware he was suspended. Brian claims he took care of everything necessary to become valid and does not know why he is still labeled as suspended. At this time I issued Brian Chernikovich a citation for 2 Headlights Required under the Village of Sebring Ordinance 337.03. Citation number #031378. I also issued Brian a verbal warning about his suspension, taking into account the holiday weekend. I further advised Brian that I am making his court date mandatory, giving him the benefit of doubt that he did indeed take care of the suspension. If he did not, I advised he would need to take care of it before the court date so he is valid when the ticket is due. Brian advised he will not be driving the vehicle and would leave it parked at the address of 535 W Ohio, Sebring Ohio 44672. Since the vehicle was already parked and is valid at the time of stop I did not tow the vehicle and agreed with Brian to leave it at the residence since that is where he would be residing tonight as well. Brian signed the citation at this time stating he will arrive at the court date of 10/24/2019 at 0900 hours to clear up the matter of his license. NOTHING FURTHER TO REPORT Ptl.

At this time Michele was being very cooperative, took her dogs to her car and was going to leave. Ptl. Everhart and I were standing by until Michele left when she got out of her car and advised her brothers were coming right away to pick up her belongings. Michele then began to walk toward the house. When Michele arrived at the door Allen was standing in the doorway. Michele then grabbed Allen near the bicep and pulled him away from the door and shoved him. Michele entered the house and began packing her things. I advised Michele that what she had just done was considered assault.

The next test was the walk and turn, I instructed Kai to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot and to stay in that position until told to start while I explained the instructions, Once the instructions were explained I asked Kai if he understood and Kai stated that he did. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, used arms to balance, and improper turn. The last test was the one leg stand I instructed Kai to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together while I explained the instructions, once the instructions were explained I asked Kai if he understood and Kai said yes. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, and Kai put his foot down three separate times ending the test. Based on the results and my experience I placed Kai into custody for suspicion of OVI and put Kai in hand restraints and placed Kai into the rear of marked unit #301 and read Kai his Miranda rights. An inventory of the vehicle was performed and the vehicle was towed to 10 N.12th St. by Springer's Towing. Kai was transported to station, Kai was brought to the squad room where the restraints were removed and a 20 minute observation period was performed. I read the BMV 2255 form to Kai with Ptl. Stanton witnessing. Kai consented to a breath and urine sample. I operated the intoxylizer 8000 and Kai gave a sample of BrAC 0.103 g/210L, Kai was then made aware that he was over the legal limit and was notified that he will be placed under administrative license suspension. Kai also gave a urine sample which was collected by Ptl. Stanton. Kai was processed but was not finger printed due to an error in our machine. Kai received a copy of the BMV 2255 form which he signed, his citation for left of center, and both OVI offenses which he signed and a recognizance form which he also signed and was notified of his mandatory court appearance on 09/26/2019 at 9:00am for Mahoning County Court #3 and was released to his father.

Witnesses and Yoich then state Ronnie unveiled a gun out of the towel, and proceeded to point it at Yoich, at which Yoich began shouting "pull the trigger" due to becoming frustrated with Ronnie. Witnesses stated they approached Yoich, and grabbed him to pull him away from the situation.

K9 Det. Redfern 504 On 03/05/2019, I was contacted via phone, on station in reference to a scam. I was contacted by Ted lngledue whom advised that he was in contact with Cassidy Wilkes in reference to purchasing a cell phone on buy sell trade on facebook. Ted asked Cassidy if the phone was able to be used if he puts his sim card in, and she advised if he had Verizon, he could. Ted advised that him and Cassidy agreed to meet today to buy the phone and the conversation was turned over to her boyfriend Ronald Handy III. Ted and Ronald conversated and arranged to meet up to do the exchange of the cell phone and $90.00. Ted arrived at the apartment complex on Alabama Avenue and Ronald Handy came out from the complex with the cell phone and Ted gave him $100.00 in cash and Ronald went back in the house to get $10.00 change. Ted then went to Verizon in Salem to get the phone switched to his network and Verizon advised that the phones IMEI number was blacklisted indicating that the cell phone was stolen. Verizon advised that the phone belongs to Ryan C. Horne. Ted then made contact with this department. I then met up with Ted and obtained a written statement as well as retrieving the phone. I made contact via phone with the Verizon store in Salem whom advised that the phone had a black listed IMEI number and could not be placed on anyone's account. I attempted to make contact with Ryan Horne, to see if the phone was stolen and when I called a male answered the phone and abruptly stated that this was a private number and hung the phone up. As defined in section 2913.01 in the Ohio Revised Code, deception is defined as "knowingly deceiving another or causing another to be deceived by any false or misleading representation, by withholding information, by preventing another from acquiring information, or by any other conduct, act, or omission that creates, confirms, or perpetuates a false impression in another, including a false impression as to law, value, state of mind, or other objective or subjective fact." Ted bought the phone while he was under the impression that the phone was able to be used with just the simple task of needing a sim card as long as he had a Verizon account, which the phone did indeed have a blacklisted IMEI number due to theft. Due to the charges being misdemeanor in nature, this case will be sent to Prosecutor Tolson for review of charges for Ronald Handy Theft 2913.02 of the $90.00 due to Ronald carrying out the transaction and Cassidy Wilkes Complicity to Theft 2923.03, for arraigning the sale of the useless phone.

Ptl D. Marchionda #507 8.26.2019 Following my arrival, I established contact with the victim, Ryan Call and his mother, Christina Hunt, in the lobby of the police station. Call stated on Friday, August 9, 2019, he was at Schmid's Sport Bar & Grill and lost his wallet. Call stated on Saturday, August 24, 2019, he learned from a friend that Branty Smith found the wallet and stole over $500 in cash out of it. Call claims he does not know who Smith is. Call stated he informed his mother about what had happened and she contacted Smith directly through Facebook messenger. Hunt provided her phone to show the entire conversation she and Call had with Smith on Facebook messenger. The dialogue began on Saturday at 6:31 PM and ended on Sunday at 9:09 AM where it appears Smith blocked Hunt's account. Photographs were taken of the conversation with Smith admitting to taking the money after trying to lie about exactly how much there was. Smith claimed the wallet only contained "...15 it was some fives and ones" but changed his answer to "Ok there was over 500 ..." There was never any mention of the other contents of the wallet being taken. It appears from the conversation that Smith only took the money and discarded the wallet. Call stated his wallet also contained a Huntington Bank debit card, a Capital One credit card, his social security card and his identification. An attempt was made to establish contact with Smith at his residence on E Oregon Ave. Smith's mother, Kelly Sweet, came to the door and stated Branty got a job in Alliance at Walmart and would not be home until after 3:00 PM. I informed Sweet of the accusation against her son and stated I needed to speak with him. Another attempt will be made at a later date and time.

Michelle was processed and booked and was told her bond amount. Michelle called Sly Bail Bonds who came to the station and Michelle paid the amount. A power of attorney form was given to me by the bondsman and copies where made. Michelle received recognizance form as well which she signed and was given a copy of which also has her court date on it which she was advised of.

Peterman #511 I exited my patrol vehicle, and approached the citizens to see what the dilemma was. Crystal Wainuskis approached Ptl. Scott, and myself stating a child from 437 E. Ohio Ave. was running across the road wearing nothing but a t shirt and a diaper on, and no parents around. She states this was the second time it happened today. Another witness, Jeff Tolson, states he was exiting the driveway of his residence, when he noticed the child walking across the road with no shoes or socks on, while wondering around backyards in the vicinity. Jeff also states Crystal picked the child up, and called the police to report the child running around. At this time Michelle Hall, the child's mother, walks outside looking for her son. We ask her if she was looking for her daughter to which she states "yes I am". Ptl. scott stated the child ran across Ohio Ave. and could have been struck by a car. I then detained Michelle at 18:05 until we had completed our investigation. I ensured the handcuffs placed on Michelle were gapped correctly, and double locked, and placed her into Ptl. Scotts patrol vehicle. Ptl. Scott and myself walked up to the residence and knocked on the door to which the father, Cody Powell, answered and we asked if he knew his child was walking across the street. Cody states he works midnights, and had just woken up to us knocking on his door. We made the conclusion to not charge Cody, but Michelle was to be charged with endangering children 2919.22(F4), and bonded out with a mandatory court date of September 5, 2019 @ 0900A.M. Ptl.

Police Dept. in reference to a endangering case. K9 Det. Redfern 504 On 08/29/2019. I was dispatched to assist the Smith Twp. Police Dept. in reference to a endangering case. I arrived on location and spoke to Ptl. Caughey and Chief Ceresna, whom advised that they located a child in the area of South 12th Street and US 62 walking around barefoot. Smith units advised that the child got out of a house in Sebring, and wondered into their jurisdiction and advised that this case was ours. I contacted Chief Harris whom spoke with Prosecutor Tolson whom advised that this would be a Sebring Case. With the parents already there I decided to conduct interviews there. I was advised by Smith units that they were advised by the parents that the mother was not home during the incident that the father was at home with the juvenile and the father was upstairs and when he was upstairs the child escaped the house. The father advised that he was searching for the juvenile and couldn't find the juvenile so he called the mother who came back to the residence and started looking for the juvenile without luck and subsequently came to the department. I called Children Services and a worker was coming to handle the custody of the juvenile. I called the mother back whom was identified as Shayla Egnor whom started the interview off by stating that she lied to the Smith Twp. Officers. Shayla advised that she was at her aunts the previous night due to a domestic situation. Shayla advise that she went back to the residence to wake up James and get him to work and she discovered that the child was gone. Shayla advised that she woke up James and they looked for the child with out success and came to the department. Shayla advised that she lied to police and to protect James and make it appear as if he was not sleeping when he was. I obtained a statement. Once the statement was complete I forwarded my findings to the Smith units, whom advised that they were filing charges against her for falsification. I then called back the father whom was identified as James Poffenberger. I asked James what happened and he advised that he was upstairs and he while he was upstairs the child went down stairs to get cereal and never came back up. James advised that he then searched for the child and couldn't find him and then called Shayla. James advised that Shayla came home and they looked and couldn't find the juvenile. James was then advised of the falsification waiver on the front of the statement packet and advised he understood it and signed it and proceeded to write his statement. Once complete I attempted to work out the differences in the stories and James stood up and put his hands in front of him and said "I'm not doing this. just arrest me already." At which point James was placed into custody and placed into cuffs. James was read his rights and was sat on the prisoner bench. I radioed for another unit to come transport James to station. I called Chief Harris whom was with Prosecutor Tolson. The two discussed the charges and it was determined that James was going to be charged with F4 Endangering Children, M1 Falsification, and M2 Obstructing. James was taken back to our station and Smith units stayed at their station with the mother and child and awaited for Children Services. James was processed, photographed, and DNA was obtained. James was then taken to MCC#3 where he was arraigned and sent to MCJ on a $15,000 bond. This case will be closed. K9 Det.

I could not smell anything due to an issue with my sinuses, but observed the individual behaving erratically. The man, a black male approx. 5' 10" in height, approached the counter, checked out, then reentered into the same vehicle, backed his vehicle up to the gas pump, then gets out to fuel the vehicle. He had a confused look when he could not get his credit card to work at the gas pump. We observed for the next several minutes, the same individual walk back into, and out of the vehicle several times. The individual then drove his vehicle out of the parking lot onto N. 14th St. , and parked the vehicle at one of the 200 N. block residences. Upon exiting the vehicle, the subject turned to face us, walked down the sidewalk back onto Ohio Ave., and into a residence off of E.

Scott #505 08/25/2019 Upon our arrival I observed two males by a vehicle in the street being Brian Anderson and William Mellott. William had his son Shawn in a headlock and Brian was attempting to calm Shawn down. I asked them what was going on and William stated that his son is drunk and is acting erratic. Shawn then took his hand and punched William in the back of the head and William while still having Shawn in a headlock punched Shawn in the head. I ordered William to let Shawn go and he did. Shawn attempted to continue fighting his father. I then pulled out of my OC spray and told them both to stop. Shawn then attempted to rush me and I took him to the ground. Shawn was being belligerent and swung his arms around and resisted. I told Shawn to stop and at one point Shawn lightly struck me on the right side of my face and then pulled back his right arm to strike me a second time. Ptl. Peterman got on top of Shawn and I put my hand on Shawn's neck/chest area and pushed him toward the ground and we put Shawn on his stomach and attempted to hand cuff Shawn. Shawn laid on his hands and we had to force his hands behind his back to place him into hand restraints. While attempting to put Shawn in the cruiser he gave dead weight and had to be carried and refused to get in the cruiser and had to be assisted. Once in the cruiser Shawn began to kick and headbutt the divider. Once back at station Shawn complied while we began paperwork. Shawn stated he wanted an ambulance because he was tired so EMT was called and arrived. EMT transported Shawn to Altman Alliance where Shawn became belligerent once more and threatened staff and Ptl Peterman and Alliance was called to have Shawn put back into the cruiser after Shawn had been medically clear. Ptl. Peterman while on the way back to 40 stated on the radio that Shawn spit in his face and him and three Alliance officers where present and assisted Shawn back into Ptl. Peterman's cruiser. Once back at station I called Smith Twp. for a 57 and Ptl. Stanton arrived and assisted with placing Shawn into leg shackles.

Peterman #511 On arrival, I observed two male individuals fighting against a vehicle, one being identified as Shawn Mellott who was still inside the drivers rear portion of the vehicle, and his father, William Mellott. William had Shawn in a headlock, as I asked why he was doing this, told me Shawn was acting very irrational due to his extreme intoxication level, and attempted to fight William. Shawn at this time then began punching William, closed fists, in his back, head, and groin regions. Ptl. Scott reached for his OC spray, and shouted for William to release Shawn so as we could restrain him and he complied. Shawn then quickly approached Ptl. Scott, and I witnessed Shawn punch Ptl. Scott in the right side of the face, causing Ptl. Scott to grab Shawn, and escort him to the ground to restrain him. Shawn laid on his back, and began to swing his arms around, shouting obscenities, and continued to resist arrest. Shawns father assisted us by laying on him as well, and when I asked he move away so I could roll him over onto his stomach he complied. William moved away from Shawn, and I quickly turned Shawn over, and laid on his lower body, and shouted to Shawn to "stop resisting" and "give to us his hands". Shawn continued to guard his hands on his chest, and Ptl. Scott and myself managed to break them free and place him in handcuffs. Shawn went dead weight as we assisted him to our patrol car, and we had to carry him into Ptl. Scotts cruiser. Shawn, while in Ptl. Scotts cruiser, began headbutting the divider, and window. After obtaining a witness statement from the father, and we both cleared the scene to return to station for jailing paperwork. Ptl. Scott advised Shawn he would not be going to jail so long as he would calm down. Shawn refused to degress his violent attitude, and continued to yell obscenities, and threaten Ptl. Scott and myself he would "beat our fucking asses if we took off the badge", as Ptl. Scott, in a professional manner and attitude advised Shawn he was in a room that was monitored visually, and audibly. Shawn still continued yelling threats and obscenities towards us until he passed out for his intoxicated status. We periodically checked to ensure Shawn was stable. We asked Shawn if he needed to see EMS, and he advised "Yeah, I do" , and when we asked why, he replied "because im tired". Dispatch radioed EMS to have Shawn transported for a medical evaulation. Upon EMS'S arrival, Shawn calmed down somewhat, and had urinated inside of patrol vehicle 304 intentionally, and told no one he had to use the latrine. Shawn was placed on a medical transport bed, and transported to Alliance Community Hospital. At the hospital, I stood guard at the doorway of Shawns room. Shawn became increasingly agitated, yelling "I'd bash everyones heads in here", and continued threatening myself, and hospital staff. I called dispatch via my personal cellular device, and asked them to send Alliance Police Department to help assist with Shawn once he was discharged. Shawn berated the Doctor whom was seeing him, and the nurses who entered the room to speak to Shawn. On arrival of Alliance Police, Shawn advised me he was going to use the bathroom. I instructed Shawn that the nurse left a urine bottle as to use, and he became very frustrated with me, and began moving out of the hospital bed. I stepped in Shawns way as to prevent him from being around any staff or patients, and a patrolman of Alliance Police told Shawn to sit down. Shawn again refused to follow orders given to him, turned to me, and told me he was going to the bathroom. I advised "no, sitdown and use the urine bottle left for you". Shawn then placed his hand on my chest and pushed on me, I advised him not to do that, and he again placed his hand on my chest to push. At this time, I placed him in handcuffs again, and Alliance Police assisted in escorting Shawn from the building. I signed Shawns medical release papers, then left the building. After exiting the ER sliding doors, Shawn made a comment directed towards merturned his head in my direction, and spit onto the right side of my face and cheek. We placed Shawn in the back of my cruiser, and I radioed dispatch I would be heading back to station, and additional charges will be filed for Assault 2903.13. Arriving at station, Shawn began to headbutt the windows, and divider of the cruiser again. Ptl. Stanton of Smith Township guarded Shawn while I finished the jailing paperwork. We then placed Shawn in leg restraints due to his combative behavior. After I called out to dispatch my mileage, I transported Shawn to Mahoning County Jail.

I was nearly t-boned by an ATV at the intersection of South Johnson Road at US-62. I immediately activated my emergency flashing lights and audible sirens. I attempted to stop the vehicle on US-62. The driver of the ATV was shirtless and the rear passenger had a black shirt on. The ATV was an older red possibly a Honda. The rear passenger had black,brown hair and the driver had red hair. Due to an encounter the previous night with Steven and Christopher Guildoo I was able to identify the driver as Christopher Guildoo. Was right on the rear of the ATV as it nearly lost control in the intersection of US62 and 12th street. The ATV then proceeded in the Highland Memorial Park Cemetery where I deemed that continuing on would pose to much risk of serious physical harm to the driver and the passenger of the ATV. I terminated the attempt to stop. While I was clearing the stop Chief Ceresna from the Smith Township Police Department requested to meet up after the encounter. I spoke with Chief Ceresna whom advised that just prior to that he was in a pursuit/attempt to stop with two ATVs and he was able to identify the driver of the Red ATV as Christopher Guildoo. Chief Ceresna advised that the other ATV was green in color and he lost them in the woods and it matched the physical description of that of the ATV's that was involved in his incident. I then cleared with a report. K9 Det. Redfern 504 .......... On 08/01/2019, Prosecutor Tolson approved charges in this case. Warrants will be filed through MCC#3. K9 Det. Redfern 504 .......... On Friday, August 2, 2019, I was notified by dispatch a felony arrest warrant for Christopher Guildoo was active out of Mahoning County Court #3. Dispatch also advised Guildoo was last scene at his residence on W California Ave in the village. After receiving his descriptive information, I proceededto 555 W California Ave and observed Guildoo in front of the residence, shirtless, walking around. I was able to observe the tattoos on his body that were listed in the description provided by dispatch. I established contact with Guildoo and informed him he had a felony warrant for his arrest out of Mahoning County Court #3 through our police department. Guildoo was placed in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/double locked) and subsequently searched for weapons and contraband. Although Guildoo was compliant and offered no resistance, bystanders and family on scene became agitated, at which point I requested additional units to respond for officer safety. I placed Guildoo in the back of marked unit #303 and advised him of his Miranda Rights. Guildoo acknowledged his Miranda Rights and advised he was not willing to waive them. Smith Township Chief Ceresna and Sebring Chief Harris arrived on scene at this time. Guildoo was transported back to the Sebring Police Department and escorted into the squad room where his handcuffs were removed and allowed to put a shirt on. Now in an audio and video recorded room, I read Guildo his rights again and again he stated he understood them and stated he was not willing to waive them to make a statement or answer questions. Guildoo was photographed and released into the custody of Smith Township Patrolman Everhart for transport to the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown for additional unrelated charges. Ptl D.

Upon arrival, I established contact with the complainant, Christopher Kleinhans. Kleinhans produced a black Ignite Audio Mono Block Class D Car Amplifier 4000 Watts Peak Power and stated he swiped it from a table at a residence on W California Ave claiming it was his. Kleinhans stated last month, his car broke down in Columbiana County and had to leave it at 2309 Westville Lake Rd. Kleinhans continued that when he returned to retrieve his vehicle a few days later, he discovered it had been broken into and several items stolen. Kleinhans stated he filed a report with the Columbiana County SheriWs Office on July 31, 2019. Dispatch made contact with CCSO who faxed the report to our station. The report from CCSO shows Kleinhans stated the property taken was numerous misc. hand tools, a 2200 RPM DeWalt power drill, two AMPS and 2 sub woofers, a Kenwood CD player along with other misc. property. The report from CCSO did not contain any serial numbers or additional information. I informed Kleinhans that without proper documentation depicting serial numbers, for all I knew the amp he brought into the station could be anybody's. Kleinhans became frustrated and argumentative stating he saw other property belonging to him at the house he took the amp from. Kleinhans turned the amp over to show the underside where 5 circular cushions had been affixed claiming the amps do not come like this, that he installed them himself. I asked Kleinhans if he could be more specific about the house and he stated its where Steven Guildoo lives. I asked Kleinhans he needed to produce proper documentation with serial numbers in order for the investigation to go forward. Kleinhans stated he had the boxes and documentation from Amazon at his residence on W Virginia Ave. I advised Kleinhans I would be securing the amp he brought into the station as evidence. After Kleinhans left the station, I secured the amp and placed it in the audio and video recorded squad room. I proceeded to Kleinhans residence on W Virginia Ave where I observed him loading several Amazon boxes into his car to bring to the station. The boxes from Amazon had tracking and shipping labels still affixed to them with Kleinhans' name and address. I removed the merchandise boxes from the Amazon boxes and photographed the barcodes, serial numbers and product descriptions. I asked Kleinhan if he had any other documentation for the other property he claimed he saw at the house on W California Ave. Kleinhan stated the Kenwood CD player came with the car and he did not have paperwork for it. Kleinhan stated most of the tools were given to him by his cousin who according to Kleinhans, is now in jail. Kleinhans provided a voluntary written statement stating he found his property in Sebring at a yard sale on California and grabbed one of the pieces to bring to the station. Kleinhans stated it was "Steve Gildoo" (Sic) who picked him up in Columbiana County when his car broke down. Kleinhans believes "Gildoo" went back to where his car was parked and took his stuff. Kleinhans inquired about getting his stuff back and I informed him I cannot guarantee he will get everything back. With the speaker descriptions and serial numbers, I cleared from W Virginia Ave and proceeded to 555 W California Ave. Following my arrival at 555 W California Ave, I established contact with Christopher Guildoo and his girlfriend, Catherine Woods. I informed Christopher and Catherine I was there as part of a stolen property investigation and if I could take a look around as I had received information that some of the property may be contained within their yard sale. Christopher and Catherine gave me consent to come further onto their property and check the items they had out for their yard sale. I informed Christopher and Catherine at any time, they could tell me to leave. I asked if they noticed anything missing from the yard sale and neither of them acknowledged anything missing. I observed a large compartment containing two 'Boss Audio System' speakers sitting on a table in the driveway. Kleinhans described such a compartment containing two speakers and the boxes I photographed at his residence belonged to 'Boss Audio System' speakers. It was at this time, Steven Guildoo came out of the residence and I asked Christopher or Steven if they could take one of the speakers out so I can see the serial number. Steven removed one of the speakers and I photographed the serial number 'ZI.Pl29DC 190100216.' I thanked Christopher and Steven for their help and cleared. After reviewing the photographs I took at Kleinhans' residence, I noticed I was missing one of the boxes and the serial number did not match the box I had photographed. I proceeded back to Kleinhans' residence and asked him to show me all of the boxes again. Kleinhans produced another 'Boss Audio Systems' box with a serial number 'Z1 .P129DC 190100216. After verifying the speaker serial number at 555 W California Ave matched the one on the box at Kleinhans residence, I went back to W California Ave. Upon arrival, I asked Christopher and Steven if either one of them was willing to come back to the station to provide a voluntary statement. I advised they were not under arrest or detained. Christopher acted as if he did not know where the speaker compartment came from and Steven looked at Christopher and said something about receiving it on a trade from some guy. Steven and Christopher declined to come to the station to make a statement. I then confiscated the speaker compartment containing the two speakers and secured them in the trunk of marked unit #303. Once back at the station, I placed the speaker compartment on the desk in the squad room. In good faith, I removed the second speaker from the compartment to check the serial number and observed the serial number to be 'Z1 .PI 29DC 1903001 11 .' The serial number on the second speaker matched the other box I photographed at Kleinhans residence. The amp and speaker compartment were logged, photographed and all photographs taken were uploaded to a department computer. The Ignite Audio Mono Block Class D Car Amplifier 4000 Watts Peak Power was secured in evidence locker #2 and the speaker compartment containing the two 'Boss Audio System' sub woofer speakers was secured in K9 Detective Redfern's office due to its large size until the evidence officer can relocate it to the evidence room. Another attempt to obtain statements from Christopher and Steven will be made at a later date. Ptl D. Marchionda #507 8-4-2019 ............. On Monday, August 5, 2019, I established contact with Christopher Guildoo at his residence, 555 W California Ave. I advised Christopher he was not under arrest nor was he being detained and asked him if he was willing to answer questions. I informed Christopher of his Miranda Rights and asked if he understood them. He stated he did and stated he was willing to answer questions. I retrieved a statement form and read Christopher his rights again, which he understood and signed a Miranda Rights waiver. In his statement, Christopher wrote he was under the impression that Jerry Carter's son, Jake, brought the stolen 12" sub woofer speakers to the house on a trade with his brother Steve last week. Christopher wrote he had no involvement in the speakers being brought to the house and was not certain if his brother was. Christopher initialed all answers and signed the statement. Back at the station, a check of Mahoning County Jail records both online and on the phone with a deputy shows Jacob Carter was booked into jail in May and released this morning for transport to prison. I went back to 555 W California Ave and informed Christopher of this and advised him he was committing falsification for the statement he provided. Christopher admitted he was not home when the sub speakers were brought to his house so he could not technically see who brought them. I asked Christopher who told him Jake brought the stolen sub woofer speakers to his house and Christopher states his brother, Steve, told him. Christopher provided his initials and signature for the additional answers provided. On Sunday, Steven had already conveyed he was not willing to make a statement. I attempted to make contact with Steven at a residence I was informed he was living at. Following my arrival at 595 W. Ohio Ave, I knocked several times and yelled into an open window. Nobody answered and nobody came to the door. This case will be forwarded to the prosecutors office for the approval of an arrest warrant for Steven Guildoo for ORC 2913.51A Receiving stolen property, a misdemeanor of the first degree. Ptl D. Marchionda #507 8.5.2019 ........... An arrest warrant for Steven Guildoo for ORC 2913.51A Receiving stolen property, a misdemeanor of the first degree, has been approved by the prosecutor's office. A state complaint and criminal rule 4 affidavit will be filed with Mahoning County Court #3. After obtaining the arrest warrant from the clerk of courts, Patrolman Brindack and I proceeded to 555 W California Ave, where I last saw Steven earlier in the shift. Upon arrival, we established contact with Steven and I informed him there was a warrant for his arrest for receiving stolen property and subsequently took him into custody. Steven was cooperative and did not resist at anytime. Steven was placed in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/doublelocked) and informed of his Miranda Rights. Steven stated he understood his rights after being asked. Steven was transported to the Sebring Police Dept and was provided his copy of the warrant. After photographing Steven, he was immediately taken to Mahoning County Court #3 and brought before Judge Morgan.

I requested dispatch to run the Darrell Williams via LEADS to see if the he was wanted. I was advised by dispatch that there was an active warrant through Wayne County for dangerous drugs and it was a pick up of 2. Dispatch then called Wayne County whom advised that if we came in contact with Darrell that they would sent a detainer to the Mahoning County Jail. I then requested Ptl. Rober from Smith Twp. to assist with the warrant. Units confirmed with the staff at the motel that Darrell was at the room and rented it. The staff advised that Darrell was walking around in the parking lot then went into the room with a female. The staff then confirmed that Darrell has not came out. With the cruisers parked on the side of the building, units then went to the room and attempted to make contact. I knocked on the door several times then I heard a "click" assuming that it was the deadbolt. I then instructed Ptl. Roberto stay and cover the front and I was going to attempt the rear and see if he was coming out through the window. I then went to the rear of the window and saw through the blinds a male and a female crawling into the bathroom looking through the window. I then asked dispatch to send me a photograph of Darrell so I could get a positive confirmation that it was indeed the male that I was able to visualize through the window. I then also asked dispatch to confirm as to if the warrant was a felony or misdemeanor in nature. I received notification that the warrant was a felony warrant. Once the photo was received and I was able to make certain that the male I saw through the window was indeed Darrell, I made the decision that we would be making entry into the motel room. I then called for another unit from Goshen to assist with making entry. It was brought to my attention that Alliance may have a better response time. I then agreed and requested Alliance. Moments later Alliance Police were on scene and I was advised that Sgt. Kelm was on his way from station with the ram. At that point I then went to the window again to get anther look and Darrell and a female were in the bathroom. It appeared as if there were surrounding the toilet in the restroom. Moments later I heard the door to the hotel room being beaten in. There was several commands by officers announcing who they were and ordering the occupants to the ground. Once Ptl. Rober confirmed that the suspects were in custody I went to the front of the building. And observed that Darrell Williams was being detained on Wayne Counties warrant. Ptl. Tallman from Alliance PD read both Darrell and the unidentified female their rights while on POV body cam. After they were read their rights Darrel advised that officers could look around that he had nothing to hide. Officers then started searching. Ptl. Rober identified the female was Nichole Phillis of Alliance. I went to the bathroom and located a green bag in the bathroom in a pair of pants. I looked in the bag and found syringe caps, a metal spoon, and several glass pipes with white residue on them. Also in the bag was two small crystals. I asked the Darrell and Nichole what the crystals were and they both replied it was Meth. Both parties were separated and placed in separate cruisers. Darrell advised that he would not answer the door because he assumed the knocking at the door was his girlfriend Delia Thompson whom owned the van. Darrell then advised that he didn't open the door because he never heard the knocking because he was in the shower. I then went and spoke to Nichole whom was in another cruiser. Nichole advised that they were laying in bed when they heard the knock. Nichole advised that Darrell advised her to not speak and to go into the bathroom and advised that it was probably the police since he had warrants for his arrest. Darrell then took her to the bathroom and deadlocked the door. Nichole advised that she observed and knew that Darrell had a baggie of meth that he bought just prior to going to the hotel. Nichole advised that when Darrell ran into the bathroom he either hurried and used the meth, or he flushed it. Nichole advised that she was not 100% sure what he did but Darrell got rid of it just prior to the police making entry into the room. The evidence was seized and secured into my cruiser. Delia Thompson arrived on location and advised that it was her van that was sitting in the parking lot. Delia advised that on July 20th Darrell took the van without her permission and that she called the police to make a report. Delia advised that it was stolen and she wanted it back. I asked Delia for a consent search of the van and she consented while on Alliance PD's POV cam. Officers searched the van. A statement was obtained from Nichole and Delia. Dilia secured her van and Nichole and Darrell were taken to station. Once at the station Nichole was given an OR bond in the amount of $5000. Nichole was charged with Aggravated Possession of Drugs F4 and two counts of Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments M1. Nichole was fingerprinted, photographed, and DNA swabbed. Nichole was then released with a court date of 07/25/2019 at 0900 at MCC#3.

It had been brought to Mannion and Carlile's attention that some prescription narcotics had gone missing and they immediately began an internal investigation. Mannion stated nursing staff reported a partial prescription packet containing hydrocodonelibu 7.51200mg missing. According to Mannion, these packets come in two cards, each containing 30 doses/pills. Mannion stated the card missing in particular, was started on May 28, 2019 and the corresponding count sheet is also missing. The second card card was started on June 6,2019 at 8:00 PM although according to records, there should have been 10 pills remaining in the missing card. Mannion stated the missing pills came to light this past Saturday when nursing staff attempted to reorder the prescription and were notified by the pharmacy that it was too early to reorder. Mannion stated during the course of the internal investigation this morning, one of the nurses questioned had falsely documented medication administration on days where she was not working. This was corroborated by copies of her time card provided by human resources. According to the count sheet provided, Joellen Hull documented medication administration on May 13, 2019 through May 18, 2019 consecutively. However, according to the time card provided, Hull was not scheduled nor clocked in on May 15th and May 16th. The times corresponding to when Hull documented the administration, do not match with times she normally administers medication. According to a statement provided by Carlile, when Hull was questioned regarding the missing pills, she "was very nervous and had been shaking." Mannion stated Hull was sent home as a part of the internal investigation process and that Crandall Medical Center would be terminating her employment for falsifying medical documents. Mannion informed me as a part of the reporting protocol, the state requires a police report be submitted. I advised Mannion a report would be generated and immediately following supervisory approval, they could obtain a copy for their records as well as the state.

I will attempt to establish contact with Hull via phone to set up a time for her to come in for questioning. If phoning her is unsuccessful, an attempt will be made at her place of residence in Alliance. I attempted to phone Hull with the call going to voicemail. I advised Hull via voicemail to contact the SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT as soon as possible. If she fails to contact the police department, a home visit will be attempted. Ptl D.

I asked Hull if she could come down to the SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT to answer some questions to which she stated would. Hull arrived at the SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT and was escorted into the audio and video recorded squad room. I informed Hull she was not under arrest, she was not being detained and she was free to leave under her own will at any time. I informed Hull of her Miranda Rights and asked if she understood them.

The van touched its breaks and I was able to visualize the driver look through the side mirror and make eye contact with my cruiser. The van then turned right to head westbound on West Tennessee Avenue. At this time I turned on my audible siren and the driver continued to drive the van until it came to the driveway of 845 West California Avenue and it pulled in. The side doors of the van as well as the rear hatch started to open and several occupants started to exit the van. I ordered the occupants to stay put as I approached the vehicle. Once at the vehicle the side fender fell off of the vehicle and it had a flat tire. The vehicle was in no condition to travel along a public roadway safely due to the various equipment violations. I made contact with the unrestrained driver and I advised her of the violation. I then asked for Insurance, Registration and Driver's License. The driver of the vehicle advised that she did not have her license on her. I asked if she didn't have them because she was suspended and she advised "yes". I asked the driver why it is that she didn't stop her vehicle and she advised she saw me on Johnson but she wanted to get it to her driveway so it couldn't be towed. I advised her that the vehicle was used in the commission of a crime on a public roadway and that I was well with in my means to tow it if I so chose to do so. I then gathered identification of the female and ran her through dispatch whom advised that she was the registered owner and she had two open suspensions.

Ohio and N. Johnson conducting traffic control. While stationed I saw a grey colored van very slightly slow but then go right through the stop sign and make a left turn at the intersection. I activated my emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop at the 500'~b lock of N. Johnson. I made contact with the driver, April Dettweiler who immediately gave me an attitude saying how she is late and how she doesn't have time for this. I begin to explain to April who I was and why I stopped her, but she continued to interrupt me with more attitude. I then attempted to continue my stop and requested her license, registration and proof of insurance. She hands me her license and insurance but continues giving me a attitude and says how she doesn't know where her registration is. I calmly asked if she could check her glove compartment because usually people place it there, but she interrupts again saying she never puts it there. I then ask if she is sure it is not anywhere else in the vehicle then and so she reaches in her glove compartment and finds it there immediately. She then says how she never puts it there and so I stated how luckily it was there this time and she didn't lose it. She then continues with angrily interrupting me and telling me how she doesn't have time and how she is late for taking her sons to bible study and she has to go to work because she woke up 5 minutes ago. I then told her how dangerous it is to completely go through stop signs at busy intersections just because she is late and she interrupts me again stating she slowed down. I then just excused myself and went to my vehicle and issued her a citation for ORD 313.01 Traffic Control Devices #031492. I go back to the vehicle and attempt to explain to April of the citation and tried to explain the ticket information such as the courts number and location but she continued interrupting me so I just asked her if she could just sign the side of the citation and she did. I then rip off her blue copy and she gets more of an attitude and begins to pull off as I was still standing right at her driver's window. I then yelled at her to stop because we were on a very busy road so I could not back up without stepping in the lane of traffic where there was a semi passing and if she hadn't stopped, she would've hit me with her vehicle. I explained how dangerous it is for her to just drive off without me telling her she was free to go and how I could've been injured by the semi and she just said how she was done and I told her she is not leave unless told to by an officer. She then states how she didn't know I was that close to her car and so I just told her when my emergency lights are off, she is free to go. I then cleared. Ptl.

Upon arrival I was met by Heather and Chad Johnson at 536 W Maryland Ave. who were advised their Boston terrier had been attacked by the neighbors Black lab. Their dog had a significant wound to the right back side and was missing a large portion of skin showing muscle from where he had been attacked. Chad and Heather had to leave to rush the dog to the Salem emergency animal hospital. While they were leaving, their other neighbor at 516 W Maryland, who saw what had happened, came outside and said the same dog at 526 W Maryland had attacked his dog yesterday and it was not the first time. Heather and Chad left and I spoke with their 17yo son and 13yo daughter. The children advised me that this was not the first time that this dog has attacked their dogs. They said that the dog had attacked their other dog two times and this would be the third time it attacked the dog that had been injured. I asked dispatch to get the dog warden to respond and began taking statements. I got a statement from 13yo Johnson and her parents are going to do statements as soon as they return. I also obtained a statement from David Chamberlin at 516 W Maryland and he advises his dogs have been attacked two times in the last 6 months by this dog. I spoke with the owner of the dog at 526 W Maryland Ave. identified as Whitney Mercer. I obtained a statement from her and advised her the dog warden had been contacted and until he responds she needed to keep a handle on her dog. Dispatch then advised me the dog warden would not be coming out today but would be responding tomorrow to handle the situation. Dispatch also advised a dog running at large letter has already been given at 526 W Maryland once before. Since both neighbors advised that the dog breaks free of it's lead and comes onto their property, Whitney was issued a MM citation for 505.01 dog running at large and given a court date at MCC#3 of 05/30/19 at 0900hrs.

K9 Det. Redfern 504 On 05/06/2019, I received information on the whereabouts of Troy Blake II whom was known to of absconded the judicial system by leading the courts to believe that he was deceased. Troy Blake was known to be trafficking firearms, possessing weapons under disability, and to manufacture methamphetamines. Troy was known to have various warrants for his arrest several being out of MCC#3, Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas, Stark County Court of Common Pleas, as well as federal warrants for trafficking firearms and felon in possession. Ptl. Reed and I staged at 12th Street and Alabama Avenue and parked our cruisers near the intersection and walked up to the suspected residence of 236 Alabama Avenue Apartment # 1 . Ptl. Reed and I got into position of the apartment and as we were getting ready to make contact the back door of the apartment opened and a males voice let a brown and white Pitbull out of the apartment. The dog came running over to Ptl. Reed and I and was not aggressive in nature. I advised Ptl. Reed that we would make contact with the owners in reference to a dog running at large. I then went to the front of the residence as Ptl. Reed residence and I asked her if she had a brown and white Pitbull and she advised that she did. I advised her that the dog was running around and the neighbors advised that it may have been hers. The female shut the door and ran upstairs, with the windows upstairs being open I was able to hear a male yell shit. The female came back downstairs and exited the residence shutting the door. I whispered to the female so the occupants of the upstairs would not hear, I asked her if Troy Blake was in the residence and I made the female well aware that he was wanted by several agencies and if she was hiding him that she would be charged on the felony level. The female advised that he was and stated that at the top of the steps was the bathroom and he was in the room beside the bathroom. The female was identified as Marsadies whom was the homeowner. I asked the female if she would open the door and let me get him and she complied opening the door. I asked the female if there was weapons in the residence and she advised that she did not believe so. I radioed Ptl. Reed that access into the residence was granted by an occupant. Ptl. Reed and I with weapons drawn for officer safety started clearing the residence. As I reached the top of the steps I made contact with Alexus Carver whom was in a bedroom across the hall. I asked Alexus where Troy Blake was and she advised that he wasn't here. I made Alexus well aware that he was wanted out of multiple agencies for felony warrants and that if she was found to be lying she would be charged with a felony. Alexus whom was becoming hostile came out from the room screaming that Troy was not there. I then started to proceed to the door where I was advised he was by the initial female and Alexus jumped in front of the door yelling that her Children were in the room and he was not there. Alexus made her way into the room and said he was not there as Ptl. Reed and I opened the closet door finding Troy Blake hiding in a closet on top of a dresser under clothes that were hanging up. Troy was taken into custody and placed in handcuffs. Troy and Alexus started to yell statements to the affect that they wanted to see the warrant that gave law enforcement the power to just come into the residence and advised that we made an illegal arrest. We allowed Troy to get dressed and to put shoes on before being escorted down to the cruiser. As officers were escorting Mr. Blake down the steps, Alexus Carver came running down the steps yelling obscenities. I advised Mrs. Carver that I would be requesting charges from the prosecutor's office due to her making several false statements to law enforcement even after she was advised that Troy had several warrants. Troy was then taken to the Alliance Walmart where Stark Sheriffs Dept. awaited. This incident will be closed, and a case will be opened if charges are approved through Prosecutor Tolson. K9 Det. Redfern 504 On 05/06/2019, I briefed Acting Sgt. Kelm. and advised him that I was going to forwarding this case to the prosecutor and Acting Sgt. Kelm had no objections. This case will be sent to Prosecutor Tolson for the following charges against Alexus Carver: Obstructing justice--2921.32(C)(3) F5, Due to Alexus being advised that Troy has several felony warrants from several agencies and she would be charged if he was found to be there, and Alexus still attempting to hinder the discovery and apprehension of Troy Blake who is wanted on several felony charges. K9 Det. Redfern 504 At approximately 21:37 hours, on 05/06/2019, I along with Det. Redfern, went to 236 Alabama Avenue, Apt. 1, after Det. Redfern received information that Troy Blake II was at that location. Mr. Blake was known to have absconded from the judicial system after having led the courts to believe that he was deceased, as well as had numerous warrants from Mahoning County Court #3, Mahoning Court of Common Pleas, Stark County Court of Common Pleas, as well as federal warrants for trafficking in firearms and felon being in possession of firearms. Upon arriving at the apartment complex, Det. Redfern and I staged our cruisers near the intersection of Alabama Ave. and S. 12th Street. Once at the upper apartment building, I stood-by outside the rear door of apartment #1, as Det. Redfern approached the front. While Det. Redfern was preparing to attempt contact at the front door, a subject from inside of the apartment let a brown and white Pitbull out the back door. The Pitbull then approached Det. Redfern and I in a non-aggressive manner. It was then decided by Det. Redfern he would try to make contact with the occupants of the apartment at the front door in reference to the Pitbull being at large. While Det. Redfern made contact at the front door, I stood by at the back. After speaking with an adult female occupant, I was advised via radio by Det. Redfern to make entry into the apartment. I then entered through the opened rear sliding door, meeting Redfern in the front room area. Redfern and I both then drew our firearms for officer safety and began clearing the residence. Once on the second floor of the apartment, Redfern and I made contact with a female who I know to be Alexus Carver, the girlfriend of Troy Blake II, in an upstairs bedroom to the far left of the top of the staircase. Redfern advised Carver of the reason that we were there, with her advising that Mr. Blake was not there. I then noticed the female who had granted us entry had come up to the second floor as well and was behind Det. Redfern and I. I then asked her where Troy was, with her nodding to a door directly in front of me. I then began opening the door while announcing myself as a police officer. Carver then approached in a hostile manner, stating that it was just her child in the room before entering. Redfern and I followed directly behind her. Once in the room, I opened the closet to the left of the doorway, finding who I know to be Troy Blake II hiding inside. I then assisted Mr. Blake from the closet, advised him that he was being arrested for his warrants, and placed him in handcuffs (spaced and double locked). Blake then began make statements about wanting to see a warrant that allowed us to come in to get him, that we couldn't just walk into his house, and that the arrest was illegal. Mr. Blake was then searched effect of arrest and allowed to put a shirt and shoes on, which I also checked for contraband. While escorting Blake from the apartment, Carver continued to become belligerent with Redfern and I. Once outside the apartment, I secured Blake in the back of car #303. He was then taken to The Alliance Wal-Mart, where custody was transferred to Deputy Hill, of The Stark County Sheriffs Office. I then returned to the village with no further action and nothing additional to report at this time. Ptl. Reed #514 On 05/07/2019, I called the leasing company of the complex whom advised that Marsadies Mueller and Anthony Tewksbury were the appropriate persons on the lease. K9 Det.

The apartment was also in deplorable conditions and next to the front door was a pack and play with a small child laying down. There was also a motor cycle in the kitchen that was taken apart.

After informing Patrolman Brindack that Fred had signed the domestic violence complaint, Patrolman Brindack exited the residence and I heard him over the radio state the Tyler was now under arrest.

Tyler said "Fucking spray me bitch" began to step closer at this point all officer began screaming for him to stop and he turned around. Tyler was being handcuffed as Marchionda walked up to the scene. Tyler began screaming and constantly swearing at officers. All four officer told him to stop and he only responded with "fuck you I pay your salary" "I pay your fucking bills" "Your my public servant bitch" Tyler was escorted to the back of my car. Tyler still very angry demanding asking for badge numbers he took a extreme dislike to Ofc. Everhart and asked where Ofc. Everhart lived. When asked why he was asking for his address he said because we were violating his constitutional rights and said he was being "constitutionally kidnapped". While speaking with Tyler Ptl. Marchionda and Ptl. Caughey were speaking with the complainants and got signed DV charges. I then advised Tyler he was no longer being detained and he was now under arrest and I attempted to read him his right. Tyler began arguing and screaming so I shut my car door. Tyler began banging his head against the window attempting to break it. I ordered Tyler to stop and said if he damaged our cruiser he would be charged and he continued to be non compliment. I determined that he should be taken directly to County and I left for MCJ while Ptl. Marchionda stayed and got statements and began paperwork to fax to the jail. On the way to jail Tyler relentlessly swore at me, threatened me and the other officer involved, said all cops are stupid which is why we only have 6 months of training, demanded to speak with a trooper and said we were not above the law we were under it. Tyler called officers 'bitches" "cocksuckers" and "fuckers". As we arrived at jail Tyler did become complaint and apologized. Tyler was booked into jail without further incident and I cleared. Ptl.

Scott responded to 276 1/2 W. Vermont Ave in the alley for a vehicle that was in a ditch. Upon arrival I noticed a male walking south on N. 17th St. from the area identified as Ryan Clay and I stopped and asked Ryan if he knew anything about a vehicle going into a ditch in which Ryan stated that he did not and was just walking. I then drive up further and noticed the vehicle in the ditch and I then stopped Ryan again and asked him once more in which Ryan stated that he was driving the vehicle into the alley because he thought a police officer was behind him and then accidentally went into the ditch. Ryan stated that when he knew he was unable to get the vehicle out of the ditch he decided to exit and walk away from the area. The vehicle was a black 2016 Nissan pick up truck bearing Ohio registration EMS5436. I walked Ryan over to the vehicle where Ptl. Peterman was and I noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Ryan's person. I asked Ryan if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving the vehicle in which Ryan stated that he did and only had a few. I made sure that no front light bar was activated so that it would not interfere with field sobriety testing. I asked Ryan if he would consent to field sobriety in which Ryan consented to. I had Ryan stand straight up with his hands to his sides and feet together on a flat surface and asked Ryan if he had any medical or physical conditions that would inhibit him from taking the tests in which Ryan stated that he did not. I then checked Ryan's eyes for a resting nystagmus, equal tracking, and equal pupil size. Ryan did not have a resting nystagmus, both of Ryan's eyes tracked equally and both of Ryan's pupils were of equal size. Ryan remained in the position he was currently in and I began the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus. I gave Ryan instructions and once finished I asked Ryan if he understood in which Ryan stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. I then instructed Ryan to stand straight up with his hands to his sides and left foot in front of him to imagine a line and then put his right foot in front of his left foot and to stay in that position until instructed otherwise. I then explained the instructions to Ryan and once finished I asked Ryan if he understood in which Ryan stated that he did understand. One the test began I observed the following clues: stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off line, used arms to balance, improper turn, wrong number of steps. I then instructed Ryan to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together while I explained the next test which was the one leg stand. Once I finished explaining the instructions I asked Ryan if he understood in which Ryan stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, put foot down 3 times resulting in the test being ended. Based on the test results and my experience I placed Ryan under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I placed Ryan into hand restraints and read Ryan his rights before placing Ryan in the rear of marked unit #304. I called for a tow truck for the vehicle from Springer's Towing which came shortly and removed the vehicle from the ditch. The vehicle was inventoried and then towed to 10 N. 12th St. Ryan was transported to the station where I instructed Ryan to remove anything from his mouth in which Ryan removed gum from his mouth and a 20 minute observation period was preformed. Ryan was read a BMV 2255 form with Ptl. Peterman witnessing. Ryan signed the BMV 2255 form and consented to a breath test and a urine sample. I operated the intox 8000 and obtained a breath sample from Ryan. Ryan blew a BrAC 0.177 gl210L. Ptl. Peterman then obtained a urine sample from Ryan. Ryan was issued a citation for OVI (SFST) 4511.19A1a, OVI (>.17) 4511.19A1h, and operation without reasonable control 4511.202. Ryan was also charged with obstruction of official business 2921.31. Ryan was finger printed and photographed and given a recognizance bond of $2,000 for both OVI offenses and the obstruction charge in which Ryan signed. Ryan was advised of his mandatory court appearance for MCC#3 on 05/09/2019 at 9:00am and was also advised that he was now under administrative license suspension and Ryan's driver's license was confiscated. Ryan was given a copy of his citation, recognizance bond, BMV 2255 form, and his breath results and was given a transport to 145 E. Vermont Ave. and released to Lorri Morris and Lorri was advised of the situation regarding the vehicle since she is the registered owner. A traffic crash report was done on this incident but Ryan did not have proof of insurance and stated that he will return to the station at some point in time and give it to an officer. Ptl.

I proceeded into the store and spoke with the clerk whom advised that the male that was walking around outside made his way behind the ATM and he was charging his phone. The staff advised that he keeps coming to the store and will not leave when asked to. The clerks advised that he came in put his phone on the charger and has been walking around the parking lot asking only females to give him a ride to Kent.

After contacting Patrolman Brindack via radio to respond to my location, I followed the red Buick across the railroad crossing and activated my overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a complete stop on S Johnson Rd near W Tennessee Ave. Patrolman Brinack and I made contact with the occupants of the vehicle and identified the driver as John Tomor. I identified myself and informed Tomor of the reason for the stop. Tomor informed me he just got the car within the last week and that the temporary registration tag must have fallen off. Tomor provided his Ohio driver's license upon request but was unable to provide registration documentation for the vehicle. I ran the vehicle identification number through dispatch and was advised nothing was coming back. I requested dispatch to send a tow truck to my location to recover the vehicle. I informed Tomor because the vehicle lacked plates and he was unable to produce registration documentation that the vehicle would be subject to tow. Tomor and his passenger were instructed to exit the vehicle and placed in the back of marked units #301 and #304 for their safety instead of standing on the side of the road. Patrolman Brindack and I performed an administrative inventory of the vehicle to catalog all property and belongings left in the vehicle. Springers Towing arrived on scene and removed the vehicle from the roadway. Tomor was issued traffic citation #031572 for SCO 335.09 Display of Plates -No License Plate(s) and informed of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, May 2,2019 at 0900.

Units quickly responded and upon arrival myself and Ptl. Reed could clearly hear screaming and arguing coming from inside the residence. Unit made contact with the caller Ian Welty and the individual he was arguing with his son 15yo. Units separated the parties. Ptl. Reed spoke with the son while I spoke with Ian. Ian advised me his son was not listening to him so he grabbed his by the collar and they began pushing each other. While talking to Ian I asked Ian for his ID at which point Ian became instantly enraged and began screaming and cursing at me asking why he need to give his ID and wanted to know what crime he was being suspected of and said we should already know him. I attempted to calm Ian and advised him that we were simply trying to determine if a domestic violence had occurred or if he was simply punishing his kid and that running his ID through dispatch would make our report easier. Ian only became more enraged saying we didn't need his information for a report and said it was "bullshit" and began to get closer to me. I attempted to calm Ian once again and gave him a request to stop. Ian continued screaming so I asked Ptl. Reed to step back inside and radioed dispatch and asked if the could check Ian for warrants. At this point Ian became aggressive and said you only want to check me for warrants that is bullshit and approached me in an aggressive and violent manner clinching his fist as if he was going to attack at this point. Ian was only about a foot away from me and been given multiple request to calm down, Ian was advised he was now under arrest and was placed in custody, handcuffed (gaped and locked) and transported to my cruiser. During the arrest Ian was screaming and cursing the entire time saying "your a dick" "your an asshole" "thats why your a piece of shit" and despite multiple commands refused to stop screaming.

I advised Ian I appreciated his apology and compliance and he was offered a courtesy transport which he refused. Units then cleared. Ptl. Brindack 507 04/26/19 21:01 ................. At approximately 16:31 hours, on 04/26/2019, I, along with Ptl. Brindack,was dispatched to 195 W. Maryland Avenue in reference to an unwanted person call. Upon arrival, both Ptl. Brindack and I could hear yelling coming from inside the residence so we began running towards the front door. We then observed a male subject, later identified as Ian T. Welty, come to the door from inside the residence. Ian advised that he was having a dispute with his 15 year old son, who was also standing in the kitchen area near the door, and that was why he had called the Police Department. Due to Ian and his son beginning to argue, I instructed (Juvenile) to step out onto the porch with me in order to separate him from his father as well as to get his side of events while Ptl. Brindack spoke to Ian inside the residence. (Juvenile) advised that he was in the living room when his father came in screaming at him over trash that he had left lying around the house. (Juvenile) further advised that his father then grabbed him and the two then began to wrestle, before he was able to push his father off of him. Upon my asking (Juvenile) if him and his father had ever been involved in a physical altercation before, he advised that they had not. I also asked (Juvenile) if he was injured at all, with him advising that he was not. I also did not see any physical signs that he had been. (Juvenile) also informed me that at the time of the incident no other household members were present to witness what had happened. I then heard a loud male voice coming from inside the residence, and immediately entered and observed Ptl. Brindack placing Ian Welty in handcuffs. While being placed in handcuffs by Ptl. Brindack, Mr. Welty continued screaming, making statements that all of the new Sebring police officers were assholes. I then walked with Ptl. Brindack and Mr. Welty towards Ptl. Brindacks patrol car, with Mr. Welty being placed in the back seat. It should also be noted that Mr. Welty continued to yell while being walked to the patrol car, with at least one neighbor being able to hear and see this who was sitting on his porch across the street. Once Mr. Welty was secured in the back of Ptl. Brindacks patrol car, I went back to the residence and again made contact with (son), as well as his grandmother, Michele Conner, who also stated that she was Ian's mother. (son) again stated that he was not injured, did not wish to pursue charges, and did not wish to provide me with a voluntary witness statement. (son) then signed a domestic violence refusal to prosecute form after having read it and it being explained to him. Conner also declined to provide me with a voluntary witness statement. Ptl.

Peterman 512 4/16/2019 On arrival, I was immediately approached by Stephen Erichsen, who states he left the house because his girlfriend was "going insane", and "throwing the stuff out of his truck". Leigh Brown came outside her front door yelling how he was being a "drunk A!!@#$%" screaming at her and trying to kick their side door in. Stephen states the altercation started in the house with them yelling at each other, when Leigh kicked Stephen out, and told him not to come back. There was an altercation in the house where Stephen grabbed Leigh by her sweater and began shaking her back and forth. When she managed to get Stephen outside, she closed the door, then Stephen began kicking the door with his foot, trying to gain access to the residence. Stephen states he went to his truck and called 911, stating there was never any physical altercation, but Leigh had actually followed him out to his truck and began going through his truck, throwing his lunch box and some papers. Leigh states she never threw the papers or lunch box, or papers but was simply looking for her children's bus passes. I asked if either Leigh, or Stephen had injuries visible, to which both stated no. Upon investigation of the door I noticed the door frame was bent from what appeared to be a heavy object striking the door, and the paneling of the door was hanging halfway off the frame. The children stated all they saw was Stephen grabbing their mom by the jacket and shaking her, and Stephen kicking the door and yelling. After my investigation, I determined Stephen would be placed under arrest for Criminal Damaging 2909.06.

I, in no way, swayed Leigh to make any decision on pressing charges, but merely explained what each decision meant. She then told me she would not want charges pressed, and I stated the assault charges I was going to add to Stephen will not be charged. I then waited on Stephen at the hospital while he was checked, explained his options at this point, took fingerprints, and booking photos, then cleared. Ptl.

While en route to the call, dispatch advised the domestic dispute was regarding a monetary dispute involving drugs. The caller alleged he had purchased drugs from his father and owed him money. Upon arrival, Patrolmen Reed and Peterman had already established contact with the caller, Derek Rinehart, who was sitting outside the residence in an emotional state. Derek stated he and his father got into a fight and wanted to pursue domestic violence charges against him. While Patrolmen Reed and Peterman remained outside to speak with Derek, I proceeded into the residence to speak with Derek's father, David Rinehart. David came to the front door and let me in so I could speak with him. After entering the residence, I observed debris on the kitchen floor which appeared to come from a door. I followed David into his bedroom from the kitchen and observed his bedroom door had been destroyed. I asked David what transpired prior to our arrival and he stated that after retrieving a mountain dew from the kitchen, Derek came into his room and began to argue with him. David stated the argument turned physical when Derek began to hit him in the face, causing a minor injury to his lower lip. David stated Derek also grabbed his chest and neck and proceeded to rip a necklace off his neck, which David showed me. David stated he pushed Derek away, shut his bedroom door and tried to hold the door shut while Derek continued to hit and bang on the door with his fists and a knife (which we were unable to locate as there were many laying around the kitchen). David stated the door was already somewhat damaged from a previous altercation and when Derek broke through the door, David injured his right hand and complained it was hurting. David stated he did not want to pursue charges against his son. I asked David if the fight was a result of an argument over money and drugs to which David said there was never any drugs or money involved. He believes his son makes up stories and says things that are not true. After speaking with David, I proceeded back outside to exchange information with Patrolman Reed. Patrolman Reed provided Derek's side of the story in which David was the primary aggressor and that the two got into an argument which escalated to David striking Derek several times in the face and subsequently threw him through the bedroom door. Patrolman Reed then accompanied me into the residence to speak with David. Patrolman Reed also retrieved additional clothing items for Derek since we found him outside in only a white tank top and pair of underwear. Patrolman Reed and I exited the residence to speak with Derek. Derek stated he had video evidence on his phone that proved his father attacked him first. When asked to provide officers with the video, Derek initially refused, stating he couldn't show us because in the video, he claims he admits to possessing drugs. I informed Derek at this time, we were concerned with what happened and who the primary aggressor was. Derek then opened his gallery and showed us a video that did not depict a fight between him and his father but instead of him recording Patrolmen Reed and Peterman while he was talking to them. Derek changed his story and stated it wasn't video he took of the fight but that he recorded audio of the fight. We looked on as Derek went through his phone and attempted to locate the audio file which did not exist. I informed Derek that given the destruction of property inside the residence, injuries sustained by both parties and conflicting stories, the primary aggressor could not be identified and that both he and his father would be placed under arrest for domestic violence. After instructing Patrolmen Reed and Peterman to place Derek in custody, I proceeded into the residence to speak with David. I informed David because the primary aggressor could not be identified; that evidence a statements confirm there was a physical fight between the two, that he and his son would both be placed under arrest for domestic violence. Before I could place David in handcuffs, Patrolman Peterman entered the residence and informed me Derek wanted to change his mind and didn't want his father getting arrested too. Derek allegedly believed he would be able to bond out and that his father would not. I placed David under arrest, handcuffing him behind his back (cuffs gapped/double locked) and informed him of his Miranda Rights which he stated he understood. David stated he wished to waive his rights to provide a written statement. I advised David he could sign a waiver back at the station in a recorded room. I transported David from 127 E Florida Ave to the SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT while Patrolman Reed transported Derek. Once on station, we kept David and Derek separate from one another to avoid further confrontation. David was re-read his Miranda Rights and provided a waiver, which he signed and provided a written statement. I asked Derek if he too were willing to waive his rights and provide a statement and he stated he did not. After reviewing David's CCH, it was discovered David had two prior domestic violence arrests either dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge. I informed David the domestic violence charge against him tonight would be an M-1 with a bond of $2,500. After reviewing Derek's CCH, it was discovered Derek had a prior conviction for M-1 Domestic Violence which elevated the offense tonight to an F-4 with a bond to be set by a judge. David was allowed to make contact with his girlfriend and a bondsman from Sly Bail Bonds. While getting the jail paperwork ready for Derek, I could overhear him in the lntoxilyzer room becoming extremely upset. Patrolman Reed and I were able to calm Derek down after explaining everything to him. David was photographed, Including hls injuries, fingerprinted and able to post bond following the arrival of the bondsman. David also signed and received a copy of the recognizance of the accused. David signed and was informed of the conditions of his bond (no contact with Derek), informed of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, April 18, 2019 at 0900 to answer to the charge of ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence M-1 and released from the station. Derek was photographed, including the bruising around his eyes and subsequently transported to the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown by Patrolman Peterman. Derek is also set for a mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, April 18, 2019 at 0900 to answer to the charge of ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence F-4. Ptl D.

Florida Avenue, in reference to a domestic violence call. Sebring Police dispatch advised that a Derek Rinehart was actively fighting his father due to a monetary dispute involving drugs that he had bought from him. I immediately proceeded to this location, where upon arrival, I observed a subject that I know to be Derek Rinehart sitting on the front steps of the residence. Derek appeared visibly upset and began crying, stating to Ptl. Peterman and I that he had purchased several Percocet pills from his father, which resulted in the two fighting over money. Derek went on to say that he had come home from work at approximately 15:00 hours, went to sleep, and was woke up by his dad screaming at him, before the issue became physical. Derek stated that his dad had struck him several times in the face as well as threw him through a door before he called 911. It should also be noted that a slight bruising was visible under Derek's right eye. Patrolmen Marchionda then went inside to speak to Derek's father, David Rinehart. Several minutes later, Ptl. Marchionda came out of the residence and advised that Derek's father did not wish to pursue charges, and that he also had injuries including a bleeding lip and that a necklace that he was wearing had also been broken during the altercation. Ptl. Marchionda also said that Derek's father advised that he had gotten up to get a Mountain Dew, began arguing with Derek, and that Derek had attacked him before he was able to shove him off of him and that he then retreated to his bedroom. David went on to say that Derek then began using a knife on his bedroom door. I then accompanied Ptl. Marchionda back into the residence where David retold his story. After retrieving several clothing items for Derek, Ptl. Marchionda and I went back outside to speak to him. Upon advising Derek that it appeared that the fight was mutual and that he as well as his father could be arrested, he stated that he wanted to press charges because he could bond out and his father couldn't. Per Ptl. Marchionda it was decided to place both Derek as well as his father under arrest for domestic violence. I then placed Derek in handcuffs, which were spaced and double locked, with Ptl. Peterman reading him his Miranda rights, which Derek stated that he understood. Ptl. Marchionda also at this point went back into the residence to place David Rinehart under arrest. Derek then advised that he changed his mind and no longer wished to pursue charges. Derek was then searched effect of arrest and placed in the back of car 301 before being transported to The SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT. Upon reviewing Derek's criminal history it was discovered that he had a prior M-1 domestic violence conviction from October 2014. Due to Derek's prior conviction, his arrest was elevated for a Felony 4, with a judge having to set bond.

The male we approached was observed being visibly distraught and frustrated. We asked if he was the one that called us, by which he stated yes. We identified him as Derek Rinehart, who states he had an argument with his father about Derek not paying his father for some percocets that he supposedly stole from Becky Steed, then became physical when his father punched him in the face and wanted chrages pressed against his father. We then advised him we needed to get states from both parties, to which he became disorderly towards us, and attempted to advise him that we couldn't arrest on simply one sided statements, to which he pulled out his cellphone and began recording us. He states his father broke the door in half by throwing him into it. Me and Ptl. Marchionda then questioned the father, David Rinehart, who states Derek became violent with him, After PTL. Marchionda obtained a statement from David, he then advised us to arrest Derek for Domestic Violence 2919.25, and PTL. Marchionda arrested David for Domestic Violence 2919.25 as well. I arrived on station, and provided photos and fingerprinting for David. Derek was advised due to him having a previous Domestic Violence charge, he would be transported to county jail until a judge could set his bond amount. Derek then became very distraught and frustrated with us, but did not become violent. Once jail commitment paperwork was completed, I then began transport to Mahoning County Jail. I heard Derek state in the cruiser en route that "this is bulls!@#". On arrival to Mahoning County Jail, I brought Derek inside, and he became more disorderly, saying statements such as "F!@#$%" Pigs!", and "F!@# Sebring". After he was booked into county jail, I cleared back to station. Ptl.

I informed David as to why I pulled him over and requested his driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which David pulled out a large amount of crumpled up bills and pulled his license from the wadded up cash and then put the cash in to his pocket. I asked David multiple times if he would consent to field sobriety to which David exited the truck and starred at me and did not respond.

Scott, along with Ptl. Marchionda, responded to the 100th block of S. 15th St. for an obstruction in the roadway, which ended up being a road closing barricade. Upon arriving in the area, both Ptl. Marchionda and I observed a vehicle strike the barricade and continue traveling north on S 15th St. Ptl. Marchionda stopped to clear the obstruction while I attempted to catch up to the vehicle. The vehicle, being a gold 2006 Pontiac 4 door bearing Ohio temporary registration H698831, turned east onto E. Pennsylvania Ave. without activating a turn signal. I ran the temp tag through dispatch and continued to follow the vehicle which turned north onto N. 14th St. While waiting for dispatch to relay the registered owners information, the vehicle turned west into the alley between E. Ohio Ave. and E. Maryland Ave. from N. 14th St. Dispatch then relayed the information and after doing so the vehicle turned north onto N. 15th St. from the alley and while doing so the vehicle turned too soon and went into a yard partially leaving the roadway. I then activated my overhead emergency lights, notified dispatch that I was conducting a traffic stop and gave my location. The vehicle then accelerated east on E. lndiana Ave. from N. 15th St. I notified dispatch and activated my audible siren and attempted to catch up to the vehicle, I looked at my calibrated speedometer and was traveling up to 60 mph in a 25 mph zone attempting to catch up to the vehicle. The vehicle continued east on E. lndiana Ave. failing to yield at 3 traffic control devices at 3 different intersections. The vehicle came up to N.12th St. from E. lndiana Ave. and attempted to turn north on N. 12th St. failing to yield at the stop sign which is when Ptl. Marchionda positioned his cruiser in front of E. lndiana Ave. on N.12th St. The vehicle which was continuing at high rates of speed nearly struck Ptl. Marchionda's cruiser and went off of the road way on N. 12th St. The vehicle regained control and went back on the road way with Ptl. Marchionda leading. I then went around Ptl. Marchionda and the vehicle in an attempt to block the vehicle with a rolling barricade and attempt to force the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle attempted to go around me and came close to hitting my cruiser multiple times before getting around my cruiser and traveling west on E. Michigan ave. I became the lead and continued after the vehicle exceeding 60 mph while in a 25 mph zone. The vehicle continued west on E. Michigan Ave, failing to yield at an additional 3 traffic control devices at 3 different intersections and then left the road way striking a tree at 206 W. Michigan Ave. I notified dispatch, exited my cruiser as did Ptl. Marchionda and approached the vehicle with weapons drawn. I removed the driver, later identified as Earl Hunt, from the vehicle and placed him in custody. I advised him he was under arrest and informed him of his Miranda Rights. I subsequently placed Earl in the rear of marked unit #304 and notified dispatch to send EMS to our location as well as a tow truck. Smith Twp. Ptl. Caughey arrived on scene to assist as Sebring Fire Dept. arrived on scene and assessed Earl while officers inventoried the vehicle. Sebring EMS cleared Earl stating he did not sustain any injuries and Earl also refused any medical treatment. Sebring EMS then cleared. I had Earl exit the vehicle and advised Earl since coming into contact with him I could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person and I asked Earl if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which Earl stated that he had three beers. I asked Earl if he would consent to field sobriety testing in which Earl stated that he would take the tests. I removed the hand restraints from Earl, as well as his hat and glasses. I instructed him to stand straight up with his hands to his side and feet together while I held my pen 12 to 15 inches from his face using it as a stimulus. I asked Earl if he could see the pen in which Earl stated that he could see it. I asked Earl if he had any medical or physical conditions in which Earl stated that he did not. I checked for resting nystagmus, equal tracking and equal pupil size. Earl did not have a resting nystagmus, both of Earl's eyes tracked equally and both of Earl's pupils were of equal size. I had Earl remain in the same position as I gave him instructions for the first test which was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus and once I explained the instructions I asked Earl if he understood in which Earl stated that he did understand. During the test, I observed the following clues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn. I instructed Earl to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot while I explained the instructions. Once I explained the instructions I asked Earl if he understood in which Earl stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, used arms to balance, improper turn. Earl did not maintain the proper starting position while being given the instructions. The last test was the one leg stand. I instructed Earl to stand straight up with his hands to his side and feet together while I explained the instructions. Once I explained the instructions I asked Earl if he understood in which Earl stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, and put foot down 3 times ending the test. Based on the test results and my experience, I advised he will face charges for OVI and placed Earl back into hand restraints and placed Earl in the rear of marked unit #304. I then transported Earl to the station while Ptl. Marchionda stood by at the scene. Ptl. Caughey arrived at the station and witnessed the reading of the BMV 2255. I started a 20 minute observation period and read Earl the BMV 2255 form. Earl signed the BMV 2255 form and consented to a breath test. After the 20 minute observation period I administered a breath test in which Earl blew a BAC of 0.103 g/210L. Earl was processed and given copy of his breath results, BMV 2255 form, and two traffic citations containing the following traffic offenses: ORC 4511.21 Speed (60/25), 4511.19A1A OVI (SFST), 4511.19A1D OVI (<0.17), 4510.21 Failure to Reinstate, 4511.12 Obedience to Traffic Control Devices, 4511.20 Reckless Operation and 4511.202 Operation without Reasonable Control in which Earl signed. Earl was also charged with ORC 2921.331B4 Failure to Comply (Fleeing and Eluding, Felony 4). Jail paper work was completed and I transported Earl to the Mahoning County Jail to be held on a $6,500 bond for the both OVI offenses and the failure to comply. Earl was was advised that he was on administrative license suspension and his driver's license was confiscated. Earl is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Court #3 on 04/11/2019 at 9:00am with a mandatory appearance. Ptl Z. Scott #506 4.7.2019 ........................ Ptl D. Marchionda #508 NARRATIVE 4.7.2019 Upon arrival, we observed a vehicle strike the obstruction in front of 100 S 15th St and continue north towards the railroad crossing. While I stayed behind to clear the obstruction, Patrolman Scott followed the vehicle. The obstruction, a street barricade, was removed from the roadway and I continued north on S 15th St in an attempt to catch up with Patrolman Scott. Upon approaching N 12th St from E Pennsylvania Ave, I overheard Patrolman Scott on the radio as he was attempting to initiate a traffic stop on N 15th St at E Indiana Ave. Immediately after Patrolman Scott's initial broadcast, he advised the vehicle was not stopping and began to actively flee east on E lndiana Ave. I proceeded north on N 12th St from E Pennsylvania Ave with my overhead emergency lights and audible siren activated in marked unit #301. Upon reaching N 12th St and E lndiana Ave, I observed a gold Pontiac 4-door sedan failing to comply with Patrolman Scott's emergency lights and audible siren. I positioned my cruiser in such a manner as to block the vehicle from proceeding further. The vehicle proceeded through the stop sign, turned north onto N 12th St after nearly missing my cruiser and lost control as it went off the roadway and into the grass on the east side of N 12th St. The vehicle immediately returned to the roadway as I took the lead. I notified dispatch to contact state patrol in an attempt to get a Trooper to our area in case the suspect vehicle fled from the village. Patrolman Scott went around both my cruiser and the suspect vehicle in an attempt to block the vehicle in and force the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle managed to break through our rolling barricade, narrowly missing the rear of marked cruiser #304 operated by Patrolman Scott. With Patrolman Scott back as the lead, we proceeded after the suspect vehicle as it began to head west on E Michigan Ave. We reached speeds of at least 60 MPH in the posted 25 MPH zone on E Michigan Ave. The suspect vehicle continued west, failing to obey all stop signs before finally striking a tree in the yard of 206 W Michigan Ave. Patrolman Scott and I immediately exited our cruisers and approached weapons drawn. Patrolman Scott removed the driver from the vehicle while I provided cover and advised dispatch of our location. After getting the driver in handcuffs, I could overhear Patrolman Scott speaking to the driver and asking him if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages as the odor of such beverages had been detected. The driver initially told Patrolman Scott he had not been drinking. I took control of the driver and escorted him to marked unit #304 and while escorting him, I asked again if he had anything to drink to night which he admitted to drinking. Patrolman Caughey from Smith Township Police Department arrived on scene at this time to provide assistance. Patrolman Scott advised the driver, later identifyed by his Ohio driver's license as Earl Raymond Hunt, that he was under arrest and informed him of his Miranda Rights. Hunt was placed into the rear of marked unit #304. After relaying Hunt's license number to dispatch, we were informed Hunt's license status was under failure to reinstate. Dispatch was advised to notify Sebring Fire & EMS as well as to contact Springers Towing. I contacted both acting Sergeant Kelm and Chief Harris to inform them of the situation. Following the arrival of Sebring Fire & EMS, personnel began to conduct a field examination of Hunt. While this was happening, I obtained photographs of the scene. Sebring EMS personnel informed us that Hunt had sustained no injuries during the crash and was clear for further processing. Patrolman Scott removed the handcuffs from Hunt and administered field sobriety tests. I observed Hunt perform walk and turn as well as one leg stand poorly and not as instructed by Patrolman Scott at which point he was placed back in handcuffs and advised of the additional charge of operating a vehicle while impaired. Patrolman Scott transported Hunt from the scene to the Sebring Police STORY for processing with Patrolman Caughey following. I remained on scene while Springer's took control of the vehicle and removed it from the front yard of 206 W Michigan Ave. During the course of the tow, Ohio State Patrol Trooper Thomas arrived on scene and I briefed him on what had happened up until his arrival. After clearing the scene, I retraced the route of the pursuit and photographed the area at N 12th St and E lndiana Ave where the vehicle went off the roadway. After obtaining all pertinent photographs, I returned to the station to assist Patrolman Scott with processing. While Patrolman Scott finished preparing the BMV 2255 and getting the lntoxilyzer 8000 ready for a chemical breath test, I handled the traffic citations. I also notified Hunt's girlfriend, who is the owner of the vehicle, of the events and that Hunt would be transported to Mahoning County Jail in Youngstown at the conclusion of processing. Following the lntoxilyzer 8000 chemical breath test, Patrolman Scott informed Hunt he had a BAC of 0.103. Hunt was provided traffic citation #031524 and #031525 for ORC 4511.21 Speed (60/25), 4511.19A1A OVI (SFST), 4511.19A1D OVI (<0.17), 4510.21 Failure to Reinstate, 4511.12 Obedience to Traffic Control Devices, 4511.20 Reckless Operation and 4511.202 Operation without Reasonable Control. Hunt signed the citations as well as the BMV 2255 earlier and was provided his copies. Hunt was also informed of the criminal charge against him, ORC 2921.331B4 Failure to Comply (Fleeing and Eluding, Felony 4). Patrolman Scott attempted to retrieve a urine sample from Hunt but Hunt was unable to provide one during processing. Hunt was photographed and subsequently transported to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown by Patrolman Scott an a total bond of $6,500 with a mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 set for Thursday, April 11,2019 at 0900.

I arrived on location and found a male sitting on a bar stool with a severe laceration on the left side of his head deep enough to see his skull. EMS was already enroute, and the patients status was updated. I identified the male as a Eugene Ferguson. Eugene advised that he was assaulted and pointed at two men whom were identified as Mickey Ormiston and Mickey Ormiston Jr. I went to speak with Mickey Ormiston and Mickey Ormiston Jr, and Mickey Sr. was extremely hostile in nature. EMS arrived on location and loaded Eugene in the ambulance and emergency transported him to Altman Trauma Center. As several officers arrived on location, I was able to review the camera footage. I observed the video and watched Eugene Ferguson push over Jennifer Wade and leap over and punch Mickey Ormiston in the face. The two got into an altercation, and it was subsequently broke up. Clint Higgins after the fight was broke up punched Eugene Ferguson in the back of the head making him fall over a chair. Eugene Ferguson attempted to get up off of the floor but was unable to. I then observed Mickey Ormiston Jr. pick up a bar chair and bash Eugene Ferguson in the head several times. I collected several statements and contacted Prosecutor Tolson whom approved the following charges. Eugene Ferguson: Assault M1 Mickey Ormiston: Assault M1 Mickey Ormiston Jr.: Felonious Assault F2, Aggravated Assault F4 Clint Higgins: Assault M1 Both Mickey's and Clint were arrested and taken to the station and processed.

The nursing staff advised that Eugene was being taken into emergency surgery due to a fractured ankle. Looking back on the video after Eugene fell on the floor after being struck from behind by Clint, when he attempted to stand up he was not able. I advised Prosecutor Tolson, of the event and she advised to add F2 Felonious Assault. Charges were added and sent to the jail. K9 Det. Redfern 504 ............ On 03/30/2019 I Ptl.

I spoke to spoke to Mickey Ormiston who stated that he was sitting at a table and was attacked from behind by Eugene Ferguson Jr. when his son Mickey Ormiston Jr. struck Eugene in what he stated was self defense. Mickey stated that the fight continued so his son then struck Eugene with a chair. I viewed the security footage which showed Eugene attack Mickey from behind and Mickey falling to the ground. Mickey Ormiston Jr. then struck Eugene the face. Clint Higgins then struck Eugene in the back of the head causing Eugene to fall. It appeared that when Eugene fell he started to engage in another altercation with Mickey who was already on the ground which is when Mickey Ormiston Jr. picked up a chair and struck Eugene in the head and repeated to do so until Eugene attempted to get up but then fell backwards against a table and sat there where I could see an excessive amount of blood coming from Eugene's head.

Scott while on patrol in a marked police cruiser was traveling north on N. 12th St. when I observed a vehicle in front of me leave the north bound lane and go into the southbound lane and then returned to the northbound lane before turning east on E. Ohio Ave. I got behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop on E. Ohio Ave. east of N. 12th St. The vehicle was a black 2015 Lincoln 4s bearing Ohio registration EYX8408. I exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle and informed the driver of the reason of the stop and requested their driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I received, the driver was later identified as Coleen Helsley. I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle and I asked Coleen if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which she stated that she did at the mountaineer casino earlier in the night and had one mixed drink containing vodka and orange juice. I then turned my front overhead lights off and had Coleen exit her vehicle and stand to the rear of her vehicle which is when Ptl. Peterman arrived on scene. I asked Coleen if she had any medical or physical conditions that would inhibit her from taking the tests in which Coleen stated that she did not. I had Coleen stand straight up with her feet together and her hands to her side. I checked Coleen's eyes for resting nystagmus, equal tracking, and equal pupil size. Coleen did not have a resting nystagmus, both of Coleen's eyes tracked equally, and both of Coleen's pupils were of equal size. I instructed Coleen to stay in the current position she was and explained the instructions for the first test which was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus and once I finished explaining the instructions I asked Coleen if she understood in which Coleen stated that she did. I then used my pen as a stimulus and held the pen 12 to 15 inches from her face and asked Coleen if she could see it in which Coleen stated that she could see the stimulus. Once the test began I observed the following clues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I instructed Coleen to stand straight up with her right foot in front of her left foot while began to explain the instructions once I was done explaining the instructions I asked Coleen if she understood in which Coleen stated that she did. Coleen then began the test before being told to do so. Once the test began I observed the following clues: stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, and improper turn. To be noted Coleen had on heel boots and wished not remove the boots and wanted to keep them on while preforming tests. I then instructed Coleen to stand straight up with her feet together and hands to her side while I gave the instructions for the next test which was the one leg stand. Once I explained the instructions I asked Coleen if she understood them in which Coleen stated that she did. Once the test began I observed following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, and put foot down 3 times ending the test. Based on the test results and my experience I placed Coleen in custody for suspicion of OVI. I placed Coleen in hand restraints and placed Coleen in the rear of marked unit #303 and read Coleen her rights. The vehicle was inventoried where an open container was found on the passenger side floor board in the front of the vehicle still containing an alcoholic beverage inside of the can and was labeled "Screwdriver", the vehicle was then towed to 10 N. 12th St. by Springer's Towing. Coleen was transported to the station where I removed her hand restraints and read Coleen the BMV2255 in which Coleen signed and Ptl. Peterman witnessed. Coleen consented to a breath test and a urine sample. A 20 minute observation period was preformed and the breath testing began. Coleen gave a breath sample and her BAC results were 0.092 g/210L. Urine was collected by D.O. Wheeler and I sealed and secured in the squad room refrigerator. Ptl. Peterman finger printed and photographed Coleen.

The employee of the Brickhouse stated that a female came in and ordered chicken wings coughed and dropped wing bones on the ground. When asked by the employee to pick up the bones the female got into the employee's face and stated screaming and yelling causing a disturbance in the bar. I then traveled to Officers Peterman's location 14th and W Maryland, once I arrived on scene both officers tried to identify the female individual but she refused multiple times. The female later to be identified as Martha Hanshaw stated that she has committed no crime so she will not identify. Both officers then explained to her that she can be arrested if she refused to identified and that she is now committing a crime for refusing to disclose personal information. Martha then started to walk away from officers while we were trying to explain that she was being disorderly at the bar so there is a reason for the stop. Martha then disagreed with what she is doing and was continually obstructing our investigation after multiple attempts to try for her to comply. I then explained to Martha that she is under arrest for disorderly conduct, obstructing, and failure to disclose and attempted to handcuff Martha. Martha then pulled away from both officers while trying to handcuff her but she was pushing and pulling away from officers. Once handcuffed gapped and double locked, we asked for the assistance of Sebring Fire department to check her well being. A short time later Sebring fire arrived on scene and assisted Martha well being. Sebring Fire then advised that she is good for jail. Once Sebring EMS cleared I transported Martha to the Sebring Police STORY for booking while Officer Peterman gathered volunteer statements from the Brickhouse. While At the station Martha became very uncooperative with the booking process by refusing to take booking photos by putting her hand over her face and consistently trying to get into her personal belongings and raising her voice.

On 4/5/2019 I, Patrolman Peterman received a call from 511 and dispatch of a disorderly (throwing chicken wings on the floor, and screaming at the workers there) individual at the Brickhouse. I arrived and was told by 511 that the individual was walking West down Maryland wearing a blue collar shirt and jeans. After investigating, I identified the individual, later identified as Martha E. Hanshaw, and approached her. I stated who I was, and that we received a call that someone was acting disorderly and throwing food, as well as yelling at the workers. She asked me "is there a problem officer?" when I advised her that she was identified as the individual that caused this, and I said to her "No there is not, I just need to make sure you are alright, and have to complete an investigation because it was called into us.". I asked her for her license for my report to be made, and she responds with "Am I being detained?", at which I repsponded "yes, you are detained until I can complete my investigation and I can identify you." Martha then attempted to walk away from me, at which I stopped her and advised her she was not free to go as my investigation was not over. Martha continued to yell at me, yelling obscenities at me, stating "you can't do this to me, I want my lawyer.". At about this time, 511 arrived with me and started speaking to Martha about what was going on. She continued yelling stating we "couldn't stop her". After multiple attempts to advise Martha what was going on, she turned away from us and started to walk away at a brisk pace. I advised her if she continued walking away from us, she would be charged with a crime for not identifying herself to us, and disorderly conduct. She continued walking away, and on the third attempt to stop her I advised 511 we are arresting her now. I got in front of her, as 511 grabbed her hands to place in handcuffs and she began attempting to shake 511 off of her. Martha then began yelling "rape" loudly, and attempting to shake us off. We then escorted Martha to the ground, without injury to her, and advised her to place her hands behind her back. She continued to resist us by folding her hands in front of her. Me and 511 managed to get her in handcuffs, when Martha became compliant. We advised to have EMS to come check Martha out, as she was making very random statements that did not make sense, and was acting very hysterical. EMS came to check out Martha with 511, while I went back to the Brickhouse to obtain witness statements of her actions. The waitress advised me she had actually not thrown food, but turned to cough and dropped a chicken wing. The waitress then confronted Martha, and asked her nicely to pick up the chicken wing, when Martha became very disorderly, stating Martha got into her face and screaming at her. After obtaining witness statements, I returned to the department, and was advised Martha was being charged with disorderly conduct 2917.11, Obstructing official business 2921.31A, Failure to disclose 2921.29A, and Resisting arrest 2921.33A. 511 then transported Martha to Mahoning County Jail, and I cleared.

Scott observed a Volkswagen beetle bearing Ohio registration GMA9371 traveling north on N. 15th St. with its driver side headlight out. The vehicle then turned east onto E. Ohio Ave. I then positioned my cruiser behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle in the 100 block of E. Ohio Ave. in front of the police station. I exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle and informed the driver later identified as Jacquelynn L. Wilson as to why I had stopped her and requested her driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. Jacquelynn appeared very sluggish and was overly talkative and talked around of questions when she asked them. Jacquelynn provided me with her license but was unable to provide me with her registration or proof of insurance. I could smell a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage I asked Jacquelynn if she consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which Jacquelynn stated that she did not. Also while talking to Jacquelynn I noticed that her eyes had a very slow reaction when light was near her eyes. Jacquelynn later stated she consumed 4 beers earlier in the day. I then asked if the passenger later identified as Justln A. Hawk had a license and if so could I could see it. Justin stated "What the fuck for?" I told Justin that he did not have to give me his license but Justin then handed me an Ohio Identification card. Justin started to scream and yell obscenities at me and appeared to be extremely hostile. I then ran both individuals information and requested my other unit. Ptl. Peterman then arrived on scene and Ptl. Peterman stood by the vehicle to watch Justin while I had Jacquelynn step out of her vehicle for field sobriety, Justin was given multiple orders to stay in the vehicle while the field sobriety was being conducted and to also stop screaming. I then had Jacquelynn stand straight up with her hands to her side and feet together while I checked for a resting nystagmus, equal pupil size, and equal tracking. Jacquelynn did not have a resting nystagmus in either eye, both of her pupils were of equal size, and both of her eyes tracked equally. I then gave Jacquelynn the instructions for the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and once I finished giving the instructions I asked Jacquelynn if she understood in which Jacquelynn stated that she understood. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I had Jacquelynn stand straight up with her hands to her side and her right foot in front of her left foot and to stay in that position while I gave the instructions. Once I gave the instructions I asked if Jacquelynn understood in which Jacquelynn stated that she did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Can't balance during instructions, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, used arms to balance, improper turn, and wrong number of steps. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed Jacquelynn to stand straight up with her hands to her side and her feet together while I gave the instructions, once I gave the instructions I asked Jacquelynn if she understood in which Jacquelynn stated that she did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, and Jacquelynn put her foot down three times resulting in the test ending. I then instructed Jacquelynn to stand straight up with her hands to her side and her feet together and to close eyes tilt her head back and to estimate the time of 30 seconds and when finished to put her head down and tell me stop, I had Ptl. Peterman use his stop watch for this observation which was the modified Romberg. Jacquelynn completed this in 12 seconds and while doing so Jacquelynn swayed back and forth, to be noted this is an observation and not a clue. Based on the test results and my experience I placed Jacquelynn in custody for suspicion of OVI. At this time Justin began to scream and yell and then exited the vehicle. Justin was warned prior to cease his hostile behavior multiple times as well as being told to stay in the vehicle. 1 then placed Justin in custody for obstruction and disorderly conduct with persistence. I had to physically control Justin and put him against the vehicle to place him into hand restraints due to Justin being belligerent. Jacquelynn and Justin were read their rights by Ptl. Peterman and placed into separate cruisers. The vehicle was inventoried and towed to 10 N. 12th St. by Springer's Towing. Jacquelynn and Justin were transported to the station were Jacquelynn was read the BMV 2255 form which she signed. Jacquelynn was issued a citation for two headlights required and OVI which she signed. Jacquelynn refused chemical testing and was informed that her license was under an Administrative license suspension and her license was ceased. Jacquelynn was processed and was given a recognizance bond of $500 dollars for OVI in which Jacquelynn signed. Jacquelynn received copies of all three documents listed above. Justin remained belligerent the entire time and argued with officers and Jacquelynn once back at station. Justin was given a recognizance bond of $1,500 for Obstruction of Official Business and Disorderly Conduct with Persistence. Justin refused to comply with finger prints and photographs and singed his recognizance bond with "FUCK OFF" with a smiley face. Jacquelynn and Justin were both given copies of their bonds and advised of their mandatory court appearance on 03/28/2019 at 9:OOam for Mahoning County Court #3 and then released to a valid and sober driver. Ptl. Scott #506 03/27/2019 I, Ptl. Peterman, arrvied on scene with Ptl. Scott at 2259. On arrival, I spoke to Scott, who states that Jacquelyn was speaking very slowly, and forgetting what she said. Scott pulled Jacquelyn out of the vehicle for a field sobriety test, while I spoke to Justin Hawk, who was becoming increasingly belligerent, stating we "had no right to hold him", and that he was going to leave. I looked over to see the progress of the field sobriety test, and at this time pf the test, observed Jacquelyn attempting to balance her foot in front of her causing her to nearly fall several times. It is also noted during the head tilt and count test, I observed, and counted that Jacquelyn counted only to 12 seconds in actual time, according to my watch, and noted she was having issues balancing her body properly. Right as I spoke to and calmed Justin down, Scott determined Jacquelyn was under the influence of a substance or alcohol, and was placed under arrest for OVI 4511.19, At the same time, Justin became extremely violent toward us and cursing at us. We attempted to calm Justin down, when at the same time he began walking toward us from the side of the car in a threatening manner. Me and k-3 Scott decided to place Justin Hawk under arrest for Obstructing justice 2921.31, and disorderly conduct with persistence 2917.11. We placed Jacquelyn in my cruiser, and I read Jacquelyn her miranda rights, she stated back to me she did understand her rights, and when me and Ptl Scott spoke to her she then admitted to us directly that she "had a few drinks tonight". We then read Justin Hawk his miranda rights, to which he started shouting obscenities at us. We then transported both individuals back to SEBRING POLICE STORY, and began paperwork for their charges. Jacquelyn was starting to become disorderly toward us by refusing to speak to us in a normal setting. Justin also remained belligerent the entire time, as Me and Ptl Scott maintained our professional composure. ************************************************** ****** SEBRING POLICE STORY ARREST REPORT Case No.: 19003124 Traffic 700 Block of W.

I arrived in the area and found a maroon in color ford focus standing erect in a ditch and several cars parked in a parking lot a few houses down with several people standing outside the vehicle arguing. I got out of my cruiser and was bombarded by John Tuel, Timothy Tuel, and Donald Burns who were all three yelling at me at once. I ordered the males to cease and desist and to one at a time tell me what happened. Timothy and John on several occasions while attempting to conduct my investigation as to what transpired began screaming obscenities at another male whom was standing in the background further up near his house whom was identified as Richard Rice Jr. After several times of asking all parties involved for identification whom ignored me and continued arguing all parties were advised once more to cease and desist. Timothy Tuel then continued to make remarks but did subsequently walk away. >From the general consensus from the three men is they were attempting to rep0 a vehicle while it was on West Pennsylvania Avenue. Richard Rice then got in the vehicle while they were attempting to get it and took off towards his house, and Timothy Tuel pursued the vehicle in a maroon focus that was in the ditch, while John Tuel and Donald Burns pursued them in a white minivan. The three rep0 men advised that maroon focus tried getting in front of the Richard Rice to stop him and was ran off of the road. Richard Rice then continued to his residence and placed the vehicle in his garage and they all called 911. I then spoke to Richard Rice whom advised that he was at his rental property at 366 West Pennsylvania avenue doing renovations and when he was leaving the residence there were three unidentified men who were approaching him in regular clothing and plain vehicles. Yelling at him and stated they were taking his car with out advising that they were from a repossession company. Richard advised that the males got into his face and "bumped" him which he took as a threat. Richard advised that he hopped in the car and started the ignition and then the men got in front of the vehicle. Richard advised that then the men tried to get in the car so he drove through his bushes and onto the roadway to get away and proceeded to his residence on south 12th street. Richard advised that the men got into their plain vehicles and pursued him. Richard advised that as he approached the intersection of Pennsylvania avenue and North 15th Street, the men in the cars rammed him in the rear. Richard advised that he proceeded down East Pennsylvania Avenue towards 12th Street when the lead car attempted a "pit maneuver" twice once on each side of the vehicle. Richard advised that once he got to 12th Street they rammed his car again. Richard advised that as he was traveling down 12th street, the lead car tried to get in front of him and cut him off and in his attempts of doing so he lost control and went into the ditch. Richard advised that he proceeded to his house which was a few houses down and retreated into the garage. Richard advised that then the police arrived. I made contact with the Ohio State Highway Patrol and requested them to handle the crash report. I observed the damage that was on the vehicles. There was front end damage on the ford focus and there was superficial damage on all four corners of the equinox and on the rear of the equinox. I instructed Ptl. Peterman to photograph the vehicles and I then went to where the call allegedly originated in the 300 block of West Pennsylvania Avenue. I arrived and observed several ruts in the yard as well as a vehicle path through the bushes. The damage and the scene was consistent to that of Richard Rice's story. OSP arrived and Sgt. Brown from post 50 arrived and advised that this situation was not an accident it was malicious act and the state would not accept an OH1 for the incident. OSP then cleared, and advised that the I needed to be conscious of a violation of section 4503.30 which is a misuse of dealer plates. I then went back to the active scene and springers arrived to tow the vehicle from the ditch. Statements were obtained. I advised all parties to separate for the evening and that the company taking control of the vehicle was a civil issue and we would not be involved in the transfer. I asked John and Tim why has this situation elevated to this versus just taking Richard to court and John replied that its a lengthily and expensive process and this is easier but no vehicle is worth someones life.

Ptl D. Marchionda #508 3.16.2019 While conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit #301 on N 15th St at W Ohio Ave, I observed a blue Nissan SUV approach the intersection from the north. The blue Nissan rolled past the white line and came to a complete stop just short of the crosswalk. Once the vehicle came to a complete stop passed the white line, I observed the left turn signal then activate before the vehicle turned east onto E Ohio Ave. I pulled out from my location and began to follow the vehicle. As I neared the vehicle, I relayed the vehicle registration (Ohio GSC7769) through dispatch and was advised the vehicle came back to an LLC in Chardon, Ohio with no further information available. As the vehicle cleared the intersection at E Ohio Ave and N 12th St, I activated my overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a complete stop in the 400 block of E Ohio Ave. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as JUVENILE (17, DOB 8/21/01), I identified myself and informed her of the reason for the stop. I could immediately smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. I asked her and her adult male passenger, identified as Gavin Shoffner, if there was any drugs or other contraband in the vehicle to which they stated there was not. I asked her if she had smoked marijuana prior to driving to which she stated she smoked half a bowl approximately two hours ago. After requesting and receiving both of their identification information, I returned to my marked patrol car to verify their licenses through dispatch. Patrolman Scott arrived on scene at this time to which I informed him of the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle and subsequently advised dispatch we would be conducting a probable cause vehicle search. Patrolman Reed arrived on scene at this time to assist as well. While I approached the driver side of the vehicle, Patrolman Scott approached the passenger side. I instructed (JUVENILE) to turn the ignition off and to exit the vehicle. After visually verifying (JUVENILE) had no weapons on her person, I placed her in the backseat of marked unit #301 and advised she was detained pending further investigation. Patrolman Scott then placed Shoffner into the back seat of marked unit #304 and advised he was also being detained. Patrolman Scott informed me Shoffner had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. During the course of the probable cause vehicle search, Patrolman Scott discovered a green and clear glass "KZOO Glassworks Swirl Dab Rig" containing a brown wax like residue believed to be marijuana from a floral bag on the floor of the passenger side of the vehicle. Patrolman Scott also discovered a vape pen cartridge containing what appeared to be a brown oil like substance believed to be cannabis oil based on the odor. Both items were secured and placed in marked unit #301. While searching the rear driver side of the vehicle, I discovered two 12 packs of Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea while only one contained 7 12oz cans which were later secured and placed in marked unit #301. Although (JUVENILE) admitted to smoking marijuana earlier, she denied ownership of the dab rig. After speaking with (JUVENILE), I made contact with Shoffner in the back seat of marked unit #304. Upon opening the rear passenger door, I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Shoffner and asked him about the ownership of the dab rig to which he denied ownership. Shoffner did not have an odor of marijuana coming from his person, only an odor of an alcoholic beverage. Due to a mix up in communication and information, Patrolman Scott instructed Patrolman Reed to provide Shoffner with a courtesy transport to a friend's residence in Beloit. After Patrolman Reed provided this transport, he returned to the scene. I instructed (JUVENILE) to exit the back seat of marked unit #301 and asked her if she would be willing to submit to standardized field sobriety tests based on observations and her admittance to smoking marijuana. (JUVENILE) submitted to SFSTs and due to inconclusive observations and insufficient clues, Stiilion was not placed under arrest for operating a vehicle while impaired by marijuana. However, due to admitting to smoking marijuana, I instructed (JUVENILE) to sit back in marked unit #301 and to make contact with her grandmother. After placing (JUVENILE) back in marked unit #301, I noticed I was still in possession of Shoffner's identification which he had provided earlier. After taking a closer look of Shoffner's identification, it was pointed out by Patrolman Reed that Shoffner was in fact 20 years old and not of age to be consuming or in possession of alcohol. Both Patrolmen Scott and Reed advised Shoffner had stated to them the alcohol found in the vehicle was his. Patrolmen Scott and Reed cleared from the scene and proceeded to the residence Shoffner was transported to. At this time, I spoke to (JUVENILE)'s grandmother Beverly on the phone and informed her of the situation. I advised (JUVENILE)'s grandmother she could pick her granddaughter up at the SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT after she was provided a traffic and criminal minor misdemeanor citation. Before transporting (JUVENILE) to the police station, I parked the blue Nissan SUV off the roadway so it could be retrieved at a later time. After arriving at the Sebring Police Dept, (JUVENILE), who was not in custody/handcuffed, was escorted to the squad room where she was issued traffic citation #031559 for SCO 313.01 Obedience to Traffic Control Device and SCO 331.14 Signal Before Turning w/in 100 feet. (JUVENILE) was also issued criminal minor misdemeanor citation #000858 for SCO 513.121 Possession of Marijuana Paraphernalia. Patrolman Reed arrived on station at this time with Shoffner in custody and placed him in the intoxilyzer room. I explained to (JUVENILE) and her grandmother Beverly, the report and citations would be forwarded to the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center in Youngstown and they would receive information in the mail regarding her court appearance at a later date. Following (JUVENILE)'s release to her grandmother, Patrolman Reed and I began processing Shoffner. Shoffner was fingerprinted, photographed and provided a recognizance of the accused bond of $1,250.00 for ORC 4301.69(E)(1) Underage Possession of Alcohol (M-1 ). Shoffner signed the recognizance of the accused, provided his copy and was informed of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 0900. Before being released into the custody of his father who was waiting in the lobby, Shoffner asked if he could take the two 12 packs of Twisted Tea with him. I informed Shoffner he could not since they had been seized as evidence. The "KZOO Glassworks Swirl Dab Rig," vape pen cartridge and two packs of Twisted Tea were photographed, logged and secured into evidence. Ptl D. Marchionda #508 3.16.2019 ............................... On 03/16/2019 at approximately 00:10 hours, I assisted Patrolmen Marchionda and Scott on a traffic stop in the 400 block of E. Ohio Avenue. After completing a probable cause search of the vehicle due to the odor of marijuana being present, it was decided that the vehicles passenger, identified by his Ohio Temporary Instruction Permit as Gavin Shoffner, would not be charged criminally and would instead be provide a courtesy escort to a residence on 5th street in Beloit, directly across from the Country Gardens apartment complex. I then provided Mr. Shoffner a courtesy transport in unit 303, and then immediately proceeded back to the scene of the traffic stop where patrolmen Marchionda and Scott were still with the minor female driver. Ptl. Scott then approached me to ask if I could take Mr. Shoffner back his Ohio Temporary Instruction Permit, seeing as he had not taken it with him. After noting that the date of birth on Mr. Shoffners ID indicated that he had just turned 20 years old this past December, it was decided that he would be charged with underage possession of alcohol. Ptl. Scott and I then returned to the Beloit address where I had dropped Mr. Shoffner off at. Mr. Shoffner was then placed in handcuffs, which were spaced and double locked, and advised that he was being arrested for the aforementioned charge. Mr. Shoffner was then taken to the Sebring Police Dept where after booking and processing he was released on an Own recognizance bond. Ptl. Reed #514 ........................ On 03/16/2019 I Ptl. Scott assisted Ptl. Marchionda on a traffic stop for a probable cause vehicle search. The driver and passenger were detained and placed in separate cruisers. Marijuana paraphernalia was recovered along with two 12 packs of twisted tea beverages which contained alcohol which one case only contained 7 of those cans. The driver was identified 17 years old and the passenger was identified as Gavin Schoffner 20 years old. The paraphernalia " Dab Rig" which contained a strong odor of marijuana and a vape pen cartridge which also contained a strong odor of marijuana were both secured in unit #301. (JUVENILE) admitted to smoking and an odor of marijuana was coming from her person. The passenger Gavin had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person and admitted that the twisted tea packs were his and stated he consumed one can earlier. Due to miscommunication I instructed Ptl. Reed to take Gaven to a residence in Beloit. Upon Ptl. Reed returning Ptl. Marchionda advised he still had Gavin's Identification and it was at that time officers realized that Gavin was 20 years old. I then requested a Goshen unit to come to the address that Gavin was dropped off at due to it being out of the jurisdiction. I along with Ptl. Reed then went to the address and placed Gavin into custody for Underage Alcohol Possession ORC 4301.69(E)(1) M- 1. Gavin was transported to the station as was the female, the female was not in custody. (JUVENILE) was released to her grandmother. Gavin was processed and was then given a recognizance bond $1,250 and was released to his father. Ptl.

Ptl D. Marchionda #508 3.10.2019 Upon entering the lobby of the police department, we observed an intoxicated male standing at the window with a severe laceration above his left eye and the left side of his face covered in blood. The male, identified as Richard Beitler, informed officers he had been involved in a physical altercation at 206 W Oregon Ave with his son, Chance Beitler, who punched him and bloodied his face. Dispatch immediately toned out the Sebring Fire Department to respond to the police department. While waiting for Sebring FD to arrive, I retrieved a domestic violence packet after Richard stated he wanted to press charges and his son arrested for domestic violence. I explained the necessary forms to Richard after which he provided his signature on the statement of complaint as well as the medical release and instructions for domestic violence. As Sebring FD medical personnel arrived, I asked Richard if he would be able to provide us with a written statement. Richard stated he couldn't spell or write too well at which point I offered for him to accompany me into the squad room where I could write everything he says while FD personnel attended to his injuries. With the statement of complaint signed, Patrolman Scott and K9 Detective Redfern proceeded to 206 W Oregon Ave in an attempt to locate Chance. After entering the squad room, I wrote out Richard's statement for him. I also obtained photographs of the injuries to Richard's face in addition to some minor bruising found on the left side of his rib cage. Richard stated his ribs hurt but didn't think they felt broken. Richard stated he was at Katie Hawk's residence at 206 W Oregon Ave and that his son Chance entered the residence and "blast him in the face" (sic). Richard stated he believes Chance attacked him because he told Chance he was done babysitting Chance's son and he believes Chance interpreted that to mean he was going to "abandon" the child. After writing out Richard's statement for him, he provided his signature to attest what he said was the truth. Sebring FD cleared from the police department and took Richard to Alliance Community Hospital for further medical treatment. K9 Detective Redfern and Patrolman Scott advised they were unable to locate Chance at 206 W Oregon Ave and it was suggested by dispatch to check Richard's residence at 485 1/2 W Oregon Ave. K9 Detective Redfern advised dispatch to send Columbiana County Sheriffs Office to Chance's mother's residence in Damascus (CCSO phoned the station approximately an hour afterwards to inform us they were unable to locate Chance). I cleared from the station and linked up with K9 Detective Redfern and Patrolman Scott and checked Richard's residence to which we were unable to locate Chance. While on station, dispatch received a call from Chance's girlfriend's mother who resides at 226 W Oregon Ave and informed dispatch her daughter was at their residence. Patrolman Scott and I proceeded to 226 W Oregon Ave in an attempt to make contact with Katie. Contact was made with Katie who provided us consent to check the residence for Chance although she claimed she hadn't seen Chance since after the altercation with his father. Katie stated she tried to call his phone but he was not answering. After checking the residence, Katie did provide us with the name of one of Chance's friends who lives in Beloit. I advised dispatch to check for an address and to have an officer from Goshen PD check the residence there. Dispatch later advised Goshen PD was unable to locate Chance at the address provided by dispatch in Beloit. At this time a statement of complaint reference ORC 2919.25A Domestic Violence (M-1) has been signed by the victim and an additional charge of ORC 2903.12A1 Aggravated Assault (F-4) will be proposed to the prosecutor's office at a later date.

The vehicle then turned left from 17th street, going into the alleyway north of the 300 block of W. Indiana, and pulling into the driveway of a residence there. I then went around the block briefly, and noticed that the vehicle had pulled out of the driveway that it was in. As I pulled up to the intersection of N. 17th street and W. Virginia Avenue, I again noticed the same Dodge Avenger, this time east bound and approaching the intersection. I also noticed that the driver appeared to be the same as the one that I had seen at the intersection of 12th and Ohio. After the vehicle proceeded through the intersection, I noticed that it appeared to be driving erratically, slowing, then accelerating and weaving. I then called in for a registration check while continuing behind the vehicle, following it up to 15th street where it turned right onto Michigan Avenue. I then went around the block, and pulled up to the intersection of N. 14th and Michigan. From this location, I observed the vehicle pull into a driveway of a residence on the 200 block of W. Michigan and then back out and proceed back westbound on E. Michigan. Upon the vehicle approaching my location at the intersection, I again noted that the driver appeared to be the same individual from my earlier observations. The vehicle then turning south onto N. 14th street. At this point the earlier requested registration check returned, indicating that the registered owned of the vehicle, Dina M. Teagle, had a warrant. Due to my observations of how the vehicle was driving indicating a possibly impaired driver, I decided to initiate a traffic stop. Upon activating my overhead emergency lights, the vehicle appeared to come to a stop, but continued to slowly move foreword, eventually coming to a coming to a stop at the intersection of E. Virginia Avenue and N. 14th street. Upon making contact with the driver, I asked for her license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver, identified as Dina M. Teagle by her Ohio driver license, appeared to have somewhat slurred speech. After verifying her identity, I advised her that she had a warrant for her arrest and asked her to step out of the vehicle. Upon stepping out of the car, I noticed that Dina appeared unsteady on her feet. Due to her warrant, I advised her that I would be detaining her until it could be determined if the agency issuing the warrant wanted to pick her up. Upon placing Ms. Teagle in handcuffs, which were spaced and double locked, I noticed the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her person. I then asked her if she had consumed any alcohol tonight, with her advising that she had not. I was then advised that Columbiana County would be picking up Ms. Teagle on her warrants. Because of this, I began an inventory search on her vehicle, noticing an open container of Busch Light on the passenger side floorboard. Upon finding this I again went and asked Ms. Teagle if she had consumed any alcohol and asked her if she would perform standardized field sobriety tests for me. I then removed my handcuffs from Teagle, shut off my front facing cruiser lights, and took her to the front of my patrol car where she performed field sobriety tests. While performing the horizontal gaze nystagmus test I noted no resting nystagmus. I did however note lack of smooth pursuit, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees, as well as distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation. Upon performing the walk and turn test I noted that Ms. Teagle started the test several times, despite my telling her not to. Did not touch heel to toe and stepped off the line. Upon making it to the one leg stand test, Ms. Teagle attempted to but could not balance. I then terminated further testing due to her not cooperating. I then advised Teagle that she was under arrest for suspicion of OVI (4511:19). Teagle was again placed in handcuffs, spaced and double locked, and placed in the back of patrol unit 301. When asked if she would provide a urine specimen or breathe sample she advised that she would provide a urine sample. Upon completing an inventory search of her vehicle, I noted an open 12 pack of bush beer in the backseat that had been opened, with about half of the cans missing. Sebring Tire then arrived on scene and towed the vehicle to their impound lot. Upon arriving the Sebring Police, I asked Teagle to provide the urine specimen, advising that the female desk officer would observe. Teagle then made statements regarding that it would be incriminating and refused. Teagle was then read the BMV 2255 form, arrest work was completed and she was issued a $500.00 own recognizance bond. After completing this she was transported to Damascus Friends Church where Columbiana County Sheriffs office took custody of her due to their warrant. Ptl.

After the vehicle proceeded through the intersection, I pulled out from my location and activated my overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The maroon Jeep SUV bearing Ohio registration CD12QK, came to a complete stop on W Ohio Ave at N 16th St. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as Valerie Ward, I identified myself and informed her of the reason for the stop. While speaking to Ward, I could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. I informed Ward, "I can already smell it; where is it?" With my permission, Ward opened the driver side door so I could observe her movements and without hesitation, Ward retrieved a small plastic bag from underneath the driver seat of the vehicle containing a green vegetative substance believed to be marijuana and handed it to me. I asked Ward and her passenger, identified as Heather Leaf, if there was anymore contraband or drugs in the vehicle to which the advised me there was not. I advised dispatch to log time of evidence and to send me a second unit for a probable cause vehicle search. Patrolmen Scott and Peterman arrived on scene immediately to provide assistance. While Patrolman Peterman stood by with Ward and Leaf, Patrolman Scott and I conducted the probable cause vehicle search which yielded no further drugs or contraband. Patrolman Scott, being certified in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), asked Ward if she had smoked marijuana recently to which she stated she did. Ward informed Patrolman Scott and I she had some medical issues including glaucoma (documentation provided) and problems with her back. Ward also stated she is currently prescribed a number of medications she takes daily. Patrolman Scott ran Ward through standard field sobriety tests which at the conclusion of them, based on his observations and experience, advised he believed Ward to be under the influence of marijuana. Patrolman Scott asked Ward how much she smoke earlier to which she replied, "A few bowls." I advised Ward to place her hands behind her back as she was under arrest for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana. Ward was handcuffed (gapped/double locked), placed in the back of marked unit #303 and subsequently advised of her Miranda Rights which she stated she understood. Leaf was allowed to take control of the vehicle and was informed she could pick Ward up from the SEBRING POLICE STORY within the hour.

Valerie submitted to field sobriety testing and also informed me of her medical problems including cataract in her eyes, bad back, bad legs, and a bad neck and I also have a copy of prescribed medications from her in the file. Valerie stated the medical issues and I then checked Valerie's eyes for resting nystagmus, equal tracking, and equal pupil size. Valerie did not have a resting nystagmus, both of Valerie's eyes tracked equally, and both of Valerie's pupils were of equal size. I then began the first test being the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus and I explained the instructions to Valerie and asked if she understood in which Valerie stated that she did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the Walk and Turn and I instructed Valerie to stand straight up with her hands to her side and feet together with her right foot in front of her left foot while I gave her the instructions, once I gave her the instructions I asked Valerie if she understood them in which Valerie stated that she did understand them. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of the line, used arms to balance, improper turn, and wrong number of steps.

From my several past experiences with the residence I was able to identify the male as Tyler Haas, and this to be his mothers residence who is Lisa Haas. The two occupants came out of their car and identified themselves as Sarah Lively of Sebring and Tauna Dean. Sarah advised that she was traveling west on West Ohio Avenue and she observed a small child estimated to be approximately three years of age in a tee shirt and a diaper standing next to the road. Sarah pointed near the road and advised that it was near the tire tracks. Sarah advised that another bystander stopped and grabbed the boy while she went to the house and was pounding on the door of the residence. Sarah advised as while she was pounding on the door, it pushed open and she started yelling into the residence. Sarah advised that after roughly five minutes of pounding on the door and yelling in the house a male came to the door telling her "Get the fuck off my property". Tauna advised that she was traveling on West Ohio Avenue and she observed the also in a tee shirt and just a dirty diaper. Tauna advised that the child had no coat or pants on. Tauna advised that she got the boy from beside the road and wrapped him in a blanket while another bystander attempted to make contact at the residence. Tauna advised that after several minutes of watching the other lady beat on the door she called 911. Tauna stated that a male finally came to the door and the male went to try to secure the dog that was running around versus tending to the child. Tauna stated that the male then proceeded to cuss and scream at the two ladies telling them to "get the fuck off his property" Tauna stated that after the male was yelling to get off of his property he then screamed he was going back in to get a gun, and went back into the house. Tauna advised that she was terrified but she was not leaving until she knew the child was safe and retreated to her car until police arrived. While the two witnesses were writing their statements, I looked at the weather channel app on my phone which advised that the current temperature was 27 degrees. Lisa Haas came up to the end of the road and asked what the issue was, and I advised her that the child was by the road way. Lisa stated that yes the child was outside, but it was for only 5 minutes. Lisa then stated that she is in liver failure and she does not need to put up with the stress and went back to the house. After the witness statements were gathered, I then went to the house and spoke to Lisa further. Lisa advised that the child was her great nephew Giovani Collins, whom she had custody of. Lisa advised that her and her son were sleeping and the child must have snuck out. I advised Lisa that the report would be sent for review by my superiors and to children services and I then cleared.

Johnson and W. Oregon. After activating my emergency overhead lights, I attempted to approach the drivers window of the Grey Ford Explorer, when the driver was attempting to put the vehicle in park unsuccessfully, and the vehicle kept creeping forward. I then advised the driver, Fredrick Barrett, the reason for the stop was he had his bright lights on, and was blinding oncoming traffic, then asked him to turn the car off, and as I spoke to him, noticed a smell of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, his speech was very slurred and deliberate, and what appeared to be drug paraphernalia on his lap. I asked Fredrick for his license, and he responded to me that "I think they're in a backpack in the trunk". I then radioed to dispatch, requesting 504 Det. Redfern, assist me, then advised the driver to wait in his vehicle. When 504 arrived, I advised him on my observations, and he pulled Fredrick out of the vehicle to conduct a probable cause search of the vehicle. We then asked Fredrick to take a series of field sobriety tests to determine if he was able to drive. Fredrick refused to take any field sobriety tests, and at that time was placed under arrest for Operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol 4510.14(A). Upon a probable cause search of the vehicle, we came across what looked like two(2) pipes used for smoking drugs, a powdery substance in a clear, plastic jar, multiple lighters, Three (3) .44 magnum bullets, empty whiskey bottles, multiple cellphones, and multiple tools with burn marks on them. I advised Fredrick his Miranda rights, then after a pat down, placed him in the back of my cruiser. Det. Redfern, myself, and Ptl. Reed attempted to get his name, which he initially stated was the name of the owner of the vehicle, Mark Franko, then stated it wasn't his name, and gave us his actual name. Fredrick then began to what looked liked overdosing, and I requested 504, and medical on scene, and had Ptl. Reed get Narcan ready to administer, when he became alert as Det. Redfern showed up. When asked, Fredrick responded that "I'm not overdosing, I'm just drunk". I then delivered Fredrick to the station, where we began paperwork for Mahoning County Jail, as he became very belligerent with all of the officers, and refused to cooperate. At this time, we decided to place Fredrick in the back of my vehicle, as he refused to have his pictures taken for record, and refused a dna swab. Fredrick continued to yell profanities at us, even after placing him in my cruiser. I stayed and watched Fredrick from outside the cruiser, and Fredrick eventually fell asleep I then took Fredrick to Mahoning county jail, where they refused him due to being too intoxicated, and I then delivered him to Mercy Health St.E where I stayed with him by the room he was in for monitoring. I was then relieved by Ptl. Everhart, then cleared back to station. Ptl. Peterman 512 2/21/2019 ......................... On 02/20/2019, I while on patrol I was requested by Ptl. Peterman to assist with a traffic stop. I arrived on location along with Ptl. Reed. Ptl. Peterman advised that he pulled the vehicle over for failure to dim. Ptl. Peterman advised me that when he made contact with the driver of the vehicle he was acting strange and came to a stop in the intersection of North Johnson Road and West Oregon Avenue. Ptl. Peterman advised that upon making initial contact with the driver of the vehicle the driver seemed to be off and was unable to identify himself. Ptl. Peterman requested that I make contact with the driver of the vehicle and attempt to figure out what was going on. I approached the vehicle and made contact with the unrestrained driver of the vehicle and identified myself as Detective Redfern from the Sebring Police Depart., and requested identification from the male. The male advised that his drivers license was in the truck of the vehicle in his back pack. The male seemed to be acting very strange and nervous, and attempted to light a cigarette, and which I advised him that he needed to not some while we were on the stop with him. I was able to smell an odor of alcohol coming from the male, and observed a few semi empty bottles of whisky in the car. I asked the male if he was drinking tonight and he advised that he has been. The male started reaching around in his pockets which brought my attention to the males lap where I was able to visualize a burnt glass pipe in between his legs. I requested the driver to exit the vehicle and to retrieve his identification from the rear of the vehicle. As the male was exiting the vehicle I observed him pick up the glass pipe and a clear container and set them on the seat and exit the vehicle and shut the door behind him. The male then went to the rear of the vehicle where Ptl. Reed and Ptl. Peterman were and started to get his bag. The male was unable to produce any identification and I advised the male that due to the odor of alcohol and his admission of drinking that I wanted him to perform a few field sobriety tests just to ensure that he was able to safely drive. The male put his hands in the air and erected both middle fingers in the air and stated "Fuck you mother fuckers, and just take me in". I advised the male that he was under arrest for the suspicion of OVI and advised him that I was able to visualize his Meth pipe on the front seat. The male was taken into custody by Ptl. Reed and Ptl. Peterman. While they were taking the male into custody, I opened the driver door to the vehicle and observed a burnt meth pipe as well as a clear container with a white crystalized substance in it suspected to be methamphetamine. I then further searched the vehicle and found several pills in a baggie, a few glass pipes with white residue in them, a burnt razor blade, a shank, a prescription bottle, ammunition, several torch lighters, a few credit cards with various names on it, suboxone strips, Sudafed Pills, wire pipe cleaners, steel wool, roughly 20 various batteries. I collected the evidence. I then went to Ptl. Peterman's patrol cruiser and I opened the rear driver door and asked him what his name was. The male stated "Fuck you, you can figure it out rookie". I asked him if his name was William Rapp, which was the name of the prescription bottle and he advised that he was indeed William. I advised the male that I found drugs in the car, as several required items needed for the production of methamphet'amines, and he would potentially be facing additional charges for the items recovered. I gathered the items and proceeded to the department for processing. Once at the department I heard the officers on scene advised that the male was overdosing. I then proceeded to the scene with Ptl. Scott. Once on scene Ptl. Reed and Ptl. Peterman advised that the male faked an overdose. I opened the door and tried talking to the male and asked him what he was taking and he stated "I'm not overdosing, I'm just drunk. EMS arrived on scene and I then proceeded back to station. Once the male arrived at station, I was able to determine that the male was Frederick Barrett. I had a Criminal History ran and determined that Frederick was lying about his identity because of his prior 5 convictions making this a felony OVI. While attempting to process Frederick, he refused processing and was transported to the Mahoning County Jail where he was subsequently refused him. Frederick was then taken to St.E's in Youngstown. Paperwork was faxed to the jail and Frederick was charged with Illegal Assembly of Meth F3, OVI 6th offense F4, Drug Possession F5, Aggravated Drug Possession F5, Driving under an OVI suspension M1, Drug Abuse Instruments M1 X2, Falsification M1, Obstructing official business M2, Failure to Disclose Personal Information M4, Failure to Dim MM, and Seat Belt Required MM.

Upon passing N 13th St, I observed a white and orange Ford SUV I had previously stopped on November 13, 2018 and cited the driver/registered owner, Shane Trainer, for driving under suspension. I immediately radioed dispatch and requested the driving status of Trainer while I attempted to locate the vehicle after it proceeded north on N 13th St towards E Maryland Ave. Dispatch advised Trainer's driving status was still suspended. As I proceeded west on E Maryland Ave, I observed the white and orange SUV turn west onto E Indiana Ave from N 13th St and pick up speed as it approached N 14th St. I quickly turned onto N 14th St and observed the vehicle turn west into the alley in between the 100 blocks of E Indiana and E Virginia Ave. Upon entering the alley, I observed the vehicle turn left into a drive-way and upon locating the vehicle, I observed a white male standing near the driver door of the vehicle. I made contact with the male by stating, "Hey Shane," to which the male turned towards me and I recognized him to be Shane Trainer from our previous interaction on November 13th. I informed Trainer his license was still suspended and asked why he had been driving. Trainer stated he was not driving, that his girlfriend Kelsey Shaver was driving and that he had just exited the garage to help her with groceries. I asked Trainer where Shaver was and he stated she was still in the vehicle. I called for Shaver to exit the vehicle and observed her exit the front passenger door.

On this date I was requested to look into a case of a Public Official destroying Public records. Det. Harris #504 This Department was requested to investigate a report of missing records. In so doing the following action was taken along with the findings. Lieutenant Bryan Bailey was requested to provide a written Statement to the operations of run reports and payroll under Chief James Cannell. A written statement from Brad Harlan was requested in regards to the finding of the missing Roll Call Sheets. After reviewing the above statements, it is understood that after LT. Bailey and Captain Bailey completed their task with the run call sheets, they were placed in an unsecured filing cabinet. The room was locked except when someone was in the room working. I was informed that during the time in question the people that had keys to the Office was Lt. Bailey, CPT Bailey, Chief Cannell, Chief Harlan and Acting Chief Fryfogle. Brad Harlan did question Chief Cannell about the missing run call sheets. Mr. Cannell's reply was "Yeah I don't pay those". I knew that Kevin Monnolly of the Attorney Generals office had interviewed Mr. Cannell. I spoke with Kevin and he told me that yes he had interviewed Mr. Cannell on the 13th of July 2016 at Mr. Cannell's house. I asked him if he had a transcript of the interview and he said yes and he would Email it to me. I received the Email on 10/4/16. In this interview Mr. Cannell states that he did not bill Smith TWP for MVA or "bullshit" calls. He was asked what is a "bullshit call. Mr. Cannell explained that they were the calls for false alarms, wires down or runs that get called off while on the way there. Mr. Cannell was questioned about what happened to the run sheets for all the "bullshit" calls. Mr. Cannell stated that he destroyed the run sheets because it a "bullshit call". He said that it was solely his discretion and that "My guys wouldn't get paid for those calls. Mr. Cannell claims he would not have destroyed the MVA run sheets but can't answer where the sheets went. In closing Mr. Cannell said that he worked at Sebring Fire for 50 years and "yeah .... I did what I wanted. I was the Chief for 38 years. If it was a bullshit call, I ripped it up and destroyed it." In making these statements and checking the list of 86 calls in question, that had been complied by Deputy Fire Chief Brad Harlan, the missing run sheets would be from "bullshit" calls except for one MVA. Mr. Cannell admitting that he ripped up and destroyed the run sheets, would account for them being missing. Mr. Cannell had the motive and the access to the records, that are missing. This case will be forwarded to the Prosecutor for charges. DET Harris #504 10/6/16 ......................... On this date the Prosecutor made contact with the County Prosecutor.

While patrolling north in marked unit #303 on N Johnson Rd near the Smith Township Police Department, I observed a maroon Buick bearing OHIO registration GCN6997. Dispatch had previously informed officers earlier in the shift that the aforementioned vehicle was registered to Yaggi. After relaying my location and direction of travel to dispatch, I activated my overhead emergency lights and audible siren to initiate a felony traffic stop just north of Sebrlng Woods. The maroon Buick came to a camplete stop on N Johnson Rd north of the village limits. After advising dispatch I would be on a felony stop with two occupants, I ordered the driver to turn the vehicle off and for the driver and passenger to place their hands outside their respectwe windows. K-9 Detective Redfern, Patrolman Scott and Smith Township Patrolman Caughey arrived on scene at this time to assist. The driver was ordered out of the vehicle and when she emerged, officers confirmed by visual identification that the driver was Jessica Yaggi. Yaggi was placed in handcuffs behind her back (gapped/double locked) informed she was under arrest for an open warrant out of Alllance. Yaggi was patted down for weapons, contraband and secured in the backseat of marked unit #303. Dispatch was updated of the arrest and advised an officer from Alliance Police Department would be en route to Ralph's Deli on Alliance-Sebring Rd to exchange custody. I transported Yaggi from the scene to the arranged meeting location while K-9 Detective Redfern, Patrolman Scott and Smith Township Patrolman Caughey remained on scene. After arriving at Ralph's Deli, Alliance Patrolman Vesco arrived on scene and took custody of Yaggi. Following the custody exchange with Alliance PD, I returned to the village. Ptl D.

Marchionda with a vehicle that was registered to Jessica Yaggi that officers on shift had prior knowledge of Jessica having an entered warrant for drug possession through Alllance Municipal Court. Ptl. Marchionda had stopped the vehicle on N. Johnson Rd. north of the Sebring Woods and while on the stop Ptl. Marchionda then advised the stop was a felony stop which resulted in the emergency response of myself, Det. Redfern, and Ptl. Caughey from Smith Twp. Police Dept. Upon my arrival I observed Ptl. Marchionda holding the occupants in the vehicle at gun point and ordered the driver which was identified as Jessica Yaggi out of the vehicle and placed her into custody. The passenger was identified as Derek Chittock. I had Derek exit the vehicle and patted Derek down for officer safety, Derek was intoxicated and was placed into unit 301 while officers continued the traffic stop. Det. Redfern deployed the K-9 and the dog signaled Det. Redfern of possibe contraband by barking and then laying down near the trunk area of the vehicle. Officers then searched the vehicle and found a digital scale in the cabin of the vehicle and a large quantity of syringes in the trunk which were all confiscated due to both individuals known to use opiates. The vehicle was towed by Springer's Towing and Jessica Yaggi was taken to Ralph's Deli and handed over to an Alliance Police officer by Ptl. Marchionda. Derek stated that he smoked marijuana earlier next to the vehicle which possibly caused the K-9 to signal on the vehicle. Derek was then transported to the station where he eventually walked out but was later found safely at his mothers house in 148 Cedar- wood In Beloit where he still holds residency. All confiscated items were logged and secured into the evidence room. Ptl.

The vehicle, a silver Toyota hatchback bearing Ohio registration HJW8356, came to a complete stop in front of 235 E Ohio Ave. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as Trevor Byers, I identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop. While speaking to Byers, I observed what appeared to be vomit on the passenger seat and could also smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Byers. Byers' speech was also mildly slurred. I asked Byers if he had been drinking to which he stated he had 3 Busch Lights approximately 30 to 35 minutes prior to being stopped. Byers stated he had left the Brickhouse to take a female home in Beloit and was returning to the bar. After providing his driver's license, I asked Byers if he was willing to submit to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Byers stated he was willing to submit to the tests and was instructed to exit the vehicle. Patrolman Scott arrived on scene at this time to assist. After turning my cruiser's forward emergency lights off, I instructed Byers to stand in front of his vehicle with his feet together, hands at his side and asked if he had any medical or physical issues which would prevent him from taking the tests. Byers stated he did not but he did have surgery some time ago to repair a broken collar bone. Utilizing my extended handcuff key, I placed the key approximately 12-15 inches in front of his face and instructed Byers to follow the tip of the key with his eyes and his eyes only. Before beginning horizontal gaze nystagmus, I checked Byers for equal pupil size, resting nystagmus and equal tracking Nystagmus was observed during lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Nystagmus as distinct and sustained at maximum deviation for 4 seconds in both eyes as well. While conducting HGN, Byers was swaying mildly from front to back and side to side. Following HGN, I provided Byers with instructions for walk and turn, demonstrated the instructions for him and asked if he understood them. After Byers stated he understood, I instructed him to begin. Byers lost his balance at one point prior to the test beginning, took the wrong number of steps during the first 9, did not execute the prescribed turn and failed to maintain heel to toe during the second series of 9 steps. Following walk and turn, I provided Byers with instructions for one leg stand, demonstrated the instructions for him and asked if he understood them. After Byers stated he understood, I instructed him to begin. At one point during the test, Byers lost his balance and raised his arms as he placed his left foot down. Byers was instructed to continue from where he left off. Near the end of one leg stand, Byers had begun to lean backwards. At the conclusion of one leg stand, I again asked Byers if he had been truthful with me when he said he only drank 3 beers. Byers stated to me he forgot he also had a shot of Jim Beam as well. As a result of Byers' admission to me when I initially stopped him and due to his performance during SFSTs, I instructed Byers to place his hands behind his back as he was under arrest for suspicion of OVI. Byers was placed in handcuffs (gapped/double locked) and was advised of his Miranda Rights as witnessed by Patrolman Scott. Patrolman Scott advised dispatch to log one male in custody for OVI and to send a tow truck to the scene. Byers was placed In the back seat of marked unit #304 while Patrolman Scott and I performed an administrative inventory of the vehicle. While Patrolman Scott remained on scene for the tow truck, I transported Byers to the SEBRING POLICE STORIES for processing. Upon arrival. Byers was escorted to the squad room where I removed the handcuffs and began reading him Ohio BMV 2255. At the conclusion of reading Byers the 2255 form, I asked hlm if he understood what was read to him and if he was willing to submit to chemical tests. Byers stated he understood and was willing to submit to any tests we asked him to take and said he would provide both a breath and urine sample. Byers provided his signature on the front of the 2255 form. Patrolman Scott arrived at the station following the towing of the vehicle and operated the lntoxilyzer 8000. Byers provided two breath samples without issue. The printout from the Intoxilyzer 8000 showed a BAC of 0.123 g/210L. I informed Byers he was over the legal limit of .08 and at this time, his Ohio driver's license was seized and that he was placed under Administrative License Suspension. I explained to Byers he was not legally allowed to operate any motor vehicles at this time but could apply for driving privileges at his initial appearance in court. Byers was issued traffic citation #031442 for ORC 4511.19A1A OVI (SFST), ORC 4511.19A1 D OVI (BAC 0%. 17) and ORC 4511.12 Obedience to Traffic Control Device.

South Range Rd. Salem, OH 44460 Marked Lanes ORC 4511.33 OVI (SFST) ORC 4511.19(A)(1)(a) On 12/30/2018 I Ptl. Scott initiated a traffic stop that resulted in the arrest of the driver for OVI. Ptl. Scott #506 12/30/2018 I Ptl. Scott was stationary at N. 12th St. and E. Ohio Ave. enforcing traffic at the intersection due to a traffic complaint about vehicles failing to stop at the intersection. While stationary I witnessed a vehicle traveling north on N. 12th St. came to the intersection of N. 12th St. and E. Ohio Ave. and stopped past the white line and then proceeded forward and then stopped again which at that point the front end of the vehicle was out in the east bound lane of E. Ohio Ave. The vehicle then proceeded to travel north. I then pulled onto the roadway and followed the vehicle and while behind the vehicle I observed the vehicle go off of the right side of the road way multiple times. I then initiated a traffic stop which was on N. 12th St. just north of the village limits, the vehicle was a maroon 2017 Nissan 4 door bearing Ohio registration HHS2676. I then exited my cruiser and approached the driver side of the vehicle and observed the driver hunched over the center console reaching for something in the glove box and I could also smell a strong odor of fragrance that smelled similar to perfume. I asked the driver to stop reaching for items out of the glove box and informed them of the reason for the stop and requested their driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I received all except the proof of insurance and the driver was identified as Dawn Fender. While Dawn was attempting to find the documents I requested she pulled out multiple cards and talked about off topic things while doing so until she finally found her license, and when looking for registration she handed me multiple papers that were not the registration but instead work orders and other papers that were not the registration. I asked why Dawn continuously went off of the right side of the road and Dawn responded that she was on her phone. I then asked where Dawn was coming from and she stated Westville Lake Rd. where she dropped off her daughter. I then asked Dawn if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which Dawn stated yes she had two beers. Dawn was acting very excited and when asked if she had sprayed anything prior to me making contact with her Dawn became rude and denied doing this. I then had Dawn step out of the vehicle which is when Ptl. Marchionda arrived on scene and shut off his and my cruisers front over head lights off. I had Dawn walked to the rear of her vehicle and I asked Dawn if she would preform field sobriety tests in which she stated that she would take. I then had Dawn stand straight up with her feet together and her hands to her side and checked her eyes for resting nystagmus, equal tracking, and equal pupil size. Dawn did not have a resting nystagmus in either eye, both of Dawns pupils were of equal size, and both of Dawns eyes tracked equally. I then asked Dawn if she had any medical or physical conditions that would inhibit her from taking the test in which Dawn stated that she did not. I asked Dawn if she takes any medication in which Dawn stated that she has a prescription for a medication that is a muscle relaxer but did not give the name. When I asked Dawn if she had taken any Dawn stated that she did earlier. I then had Dawn stay in that position and explained the rules for the next test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and after I explained the instructions I asked Dawn if she understood in which Dawn stated that she did understand. Dawn stated that she has prescription glasses and stated that she needs them to see and when the test began she complained that she could not see the pen due to the glasses having parts that helped her read. The glasses appeared to be just reading glasses once she showed me. I asked Dawn if she could see the pen without the glasses and Dawn stated that she could see the pen without having her glasses on. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I instructed Dawn to stand straight up with her hands to her side and her right foot in front of her left foot and to stay in that position until I instructed her otherwise. I explained the instructions for the test and once I was finished I asked Dawn if she understood In which Dawn stated that she did understand but Dawn complained how the vehicles lights were in her face in which I stated to Dawn the lights were shut off prior to starting the tests. Dawn then complained about having a light in her face while preforming the first test in which I stated to Dawn the light was not in her face nor her eyes during the first test. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Couldn't balance during instructions, stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, used arms to balance, and improper turn. At one point Dawn blamed her shoes and asked if she could take them off and I told her she could. Taking off the shoes had no effect of the test results as Dawn continued to preform the test the same way as when she had her shoes on. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed Dawn to stand straight up with her arms to her side and her feet together while I explained the instructions. Once the instructions were explained I asked Dawn if she understood in which Dawn stated that she did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms and vehicle to balance, and placed foot down 3 times. Based on the test results and my experience I placed Dawn in custody for suspicion of OVI and placed Dawn in hand restraints and read her rights to her and then placed Dawn in the rear of unit #301. I and Ptl. Marchionda preformed an administrative inventory of Dawns vehicle and retrieved her purse, phone, and money as she requested and I also found a odor blocker that smelled similar to the odor I smelled when I initially made contact with Dawn laying in the center console. I then transported Dawn back to the station while Ptl. Marchionda stayed to oversee the tow of Dawns vehicle and fill out the tow slip. Once back at station Dawn was read the BMV 2255 form by me and witnessed by D.O. Wheeler and was processed by photographs and was not finger printed due to the machine not functioning properly. Dawn was extremely rude during the entire process and made derogatory remarks and also called me a "dick". Dawn refused to take any chemical tests and I then notified Dawn that she is now under administrative license suspension that takes effect immediately. Dawn was issued a traffic citation marked lanes ORC 4511.33 and OVI (SFST) ORC 4511.19(A)(1)(a). Dawn signed the citation and was provided with a copy, Dawn signed the BMV 2255 form and was provided with a copy, and Dawn was given a recognizance bond in the amount of $500 for the OVI offense in which Dawn signed and was provided a copy of. Dawn was advised of her court date of MCC#3 on 01/03/2019 at 9:00am with a mandatory appearance. Once processing and paper work was compete Dawn was released to a valid and sober driver. Ptl.

While patrolling north in marked unit #303 on N. Johsnson Rd near the Smith TWP Police Department I observed a marron Buick bearing Ohio registration GCN6997. Dispatch had previously informed officers earlier in the shrft that the aforementioned vehicle was registered to Yaggi. After relaying my location and direction of travel to dispatch I activated my overhead evergency lights and audible siren to initiate a felony traffic stop just north of Sebring Woods. The maroon Buick came to a complete stop on N Johnson Rd north of the vrllage limits. After advising dispatch I would be on a felony stop with two occupants, I ordered the driver to turn the vehicle off and for the driver and passenger to place their hands outside their respective windows. K-3 Detective Redfern, Patrolman Scott and Smith Township Patrolman Caughey arrived on scene at this time to assist. The driver was ordered out of the vehicle and when she emerged, officers confirmed by visual identification that the driver was Jessica Yaggi. Yaggi was placed in handcuffs behind her back (gapped double locked) and informed she was under arrest for an open warrant out of Alllance. Yaggi was patted down for weapons, contraband and secured in the backseat of marked unit #303. Dispatch was updated of the arrest and advised an officer from Alliance Police Department would be en route to Ralph's Deli on Alliance-Sebring Rd to exchange custody. I transported Yaggi from the scene to the arranged meeting location while K-9 Detective Redfern, Patrolman Scott and Smith Townshlp Patrolman Caughey remained on scene. After arriving at Ralph's Deli, Alliance Patrolman Vesco arrived on scene and took custody of Yaggi. Following the custody exchange with Alliance PD, I returned to the village. Ptl D.

Marchionda with a vehicle that was registered to Jessica Yaggi that officers on shift had prior knowledge of Jessica having an entered warrant for drug possession through Alliance Municipal Court. Ptl. Marchionda had stopped the vehicle on N. Johnson Rd. north of the Sebring Woods and while on the stop Ptl. Marchionda then advised the stop was a felony stop which resulted in the emergency response of myself, Det. Redfern, and Ptl. Caughey from Smith Twp. Police Dept. Upon my arrival I observed Ptl. Marchionda holding the occupants in the vehicle at gun point and ordered the driver which was identified as Jessica Yaggi out of the vehicle and placed her into custody. The passenger was identified as Derek Chittock. I had Derek exit the vehicle and patted Derek down for officer safety, Derek was intoxicated and was placed into unit 301 while officers continued the traffic stop. Det. Redfern deployed the K-9 and the dog signaled Det. Redfern of possible contraband by barking and then laying down near the trunk area of the vehicle. Officers then searched the vehicle and found a digital scale in the cabin of the vehicle and a large quantity of syringes in the trunk which were all confiscated due to both individuals known to use opiates. The vehicle was towed by Springer's Towing and Jessica Yaggi was taken to Ralph's Deli and handed over to an Alliance Police officer by Ptl. Marchionda. Derek stated that he smoked marijuana earlier next to the vehicle which possibly caused the K-9 to signal on the vehicle. Derek was then transported to the station where he eventually walked out but was later found safely at his mothers house in 148 Cedar- wood in Beloit where he still holds residency. All confiscated rtems were logged and secured into the evidence room.

Scott initiated a traffic stop that resulted in the arrest of the driver for OVI. Ptl. Scott #506 11/17/2018 On 11/17/2018 I Ptl. Scott was traveling north on S. Johnson Rd. in a marked police cruiser when I noticed a vehicle traveling south on the same road that appeared to be traveling at a high rate of speed higher than the posted 35 mph zone. I then activated my cruisers foward mounted radar unit and observed a digital reading of 46 mph while in a 35 mph zone. The vehicle then passed me and I then perform a U-Turn and activated my emergency overhead lights and initiated a traffic stop on S. Johnson Rd. by the Perkins restabJrant. I then exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle which was a blue 2011 Honda 4 door bearing Ohio registration GSQ8334. I approached the driver which was later identified as Dylan Mick and informed Dylan of the reason for the stop and requested his driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance which I received, the proof of insurance was also expired. I could smell an ador of marijuana coming from the vehicle and asked Dylan if he had smoked any marijuana while inside the vehicle in which Dyian replied "not in the car"(sic). I then asked Dylan if he smoked prior to driving in which Dylan stated " yes about 40 minutes ago"(sic). I then notified dispatch of a possible .19 and ordered Dylan out of the vehicle and I also shut my front overhead lights off as well. Ptl. Marchionda then arrived and witnessed the field tests. I then asked Dylan if he would perform field sobriety testing in which Dylan stated that he would. I asked Dylan if he had any medical conditions, injuries, or physical conditions that would inhibit him from taking the tests in which Dylan stated that he did not. I then had Dylan stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together while I checked his eyes for equal pupil size, equal tracking, and resting nystagmus. Both of Dylan's pupils were of equal size, both of Dytan's eyes tracked equally, and Dylan did not have a resting nystagrnus. I then began to explain the instructions for the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and once I finished the instructions I asked Dylan if he understood in which Dylan stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I instructed Dylan to stand straight up with his right foot in front of his left foot while I explained the instructions and once finished explaining the instructions I asked Dylan if he understood in which Dylan stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, and improper turn. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed Dylan to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together while I explained the instructions and once the instructions were explained I asked Dylan if he understood in which Dylan stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, put foot down. Dylan started with his Fight foot and put his foot down and then continued with his left foot. I then perform the lack of convergence observation and had Dylan sit on the bumper of my patrol car and once the lack of convergence was perform I noticed lack of convergence in Dylan's right eye. I also had Dylan perform the modified romberg and had Dylan stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together and instructed Dylan to tilt his head back and close his eyes and estimate the passing of 30 seconds in his head and when finished to put his head down and say stop. While Dylan was performing this he had large amounts of body tremors. Dylan estimated the passing of 30 seconds in approximately 28 seconds. The lack of convergence and the modified romberg were not clues but instead observations. Due to the test results and my experience I placed Dylan under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I then placed Dylan in hand restraints which were gapped and double locked and read Dylan his rights and placed Dylan in the rear of my patrol car. Upon performing the administative inventory of the vehicle I opened the center console and observed a gray container which had had a bag of marijuana, a grinder and a wooden box with a metal cigarette with an odor of marijuana inside of it. The container and all of its contents were confiscated. The vehicle was towed to Springer's Towing 10 N. 12th St. I then transported Dylan to the police department while Ptl. Marchionda stood by for the tow of the vehicle. Upon returning to the police department I read Dylan the BMV2255 form which was witnessed by D.O. Wheeler. Dylan signed the form and consented to chemical testing and gave a urine sample collected by Ptl.

Ohio Ave. and got behind the vehicle which was still stationary at the intersection which had flashing red lights and the vehicle stayed in this position for a extended amount of time and then proceeded to travel west on W. Ohio Ave. I then followed the vehicle and observed the vehicle go left of center on W. Ohio Ave. near N. 19th St. the vehicle was a 2011 silver Buick 4 door bearing Ohio registration (EEZ5990). I then initiated a traffic stop on W. Ohio Ave. near N. 19th St. with the above mentioned vehicle. I exited my patrol car and approached the vehicle from the driver side and informed the driver of the reason I stopped their vehicle. I could instantly smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I requested the driver Ohio driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I received all except the registration and was able to identify the driver as Chester Clavon Jones who is also the registered owner. I asked Chester if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which he stated one beer while at a friends house and then changed the amount to two and stated that he was coming from the Brickhouse bar in Sebring and going home to Alliance and then asked if I could just let him go and then stated that he was going to his brother in laws house in Sebring.

I then asked Chester if he had any medical, physical, or any other conditions that would inhibit him from taking field sobriety tests in which Chester stated that all he had was asthma. I also asked Chester if he wore prescription glasses or contacts in which Chester stated that he did not. I then told Chester to remain in this position while I explained the instructions for the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus. Once I explained the instructions I asked Chester if he understood them in which Chester stated that he did understand. Once the test began I obsetved the following dues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I instructed Chester to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot and to stay in that position until I instructed him to begin. At times Chester would get out of the position I instructed him to stay in and also had to be told to by remove his hands from his pockets multiple times even while performing the test. Once the instructions were explained I asked Chester if he understood in which Chester stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: did not touch heel to toe, stepped off of line, used arms to balance, and improper turn. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed Chester to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together while I began the instructions and once the instructions were explained I asked Chester if he understood them in which Chester stated that he did understand them. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, put foot down three times which ended the test. Ptl. Marchionda stated to Chester that while he was on scene he could smell an Odor of an alcoholic beverage on Chester's person. Based on the test results and my experience I placed Chester under arrest for suspicion of OVI and placed Chester in hand restraints and gaped and double locked the restraints and placed Chester in the rear of my patrol car and read Chester his rights. Chester constantly stated that he was not intoxicated but agitated and asked for me to let him go and was argumentative the entire time. Ptl. Marchionda stood by for the vehicle to be towed by Springer's Towing, Chester's vehicle was towed to 10 N. 12th St. I transported Chester to the police station. Upon my arrival Chester was walked to the squad room and I removed the hand restraints from Chester and read Chester the BMV2255 form which was witnessed by D.O. wheeler. Chester refused to sit down and argued with me the entire time he was being processed about me having no probable cause for stopping him and stated that I singled him out but did not tell me what he meant by that and continuously asked if the traffic stop was recorded. Chester was processed, fingerprinted, and photographed. Ptl.

Ptl. Scott #506 11/22/2018 ............................ On Thursday, November 22, 2018, I, Patrolman Marchionda, provided assistance to Patrolman Scott who was on a traffic stop on W Ohio Ave at N 19th St. Upon my arrival, Patrolman Scott was beginning standardized field sobriety tests with the driver, identified as Chester Jones. While I did not witness the horizontal gaze nystagmus portion of the field sobriety tests, I did observe walk and turn as well as one leg stand. At one point during the instructional stage to walk and turn, Jones was not standing as instructed with his right foot in front of his left and placed his hands in his pockets several times. Jones attempted to perform walk and turn with his hands in his pockets and was told to remove them and place them back at his sides. During walk and turn, Jones did not execute the turn as instructed and demonstrated by Patrolman Scott and stepped off line several times. During one leg stand, Jones lost his balance and placed his right foot down. After doing this Jones attempted to reason with us and say he was frustrated. Jones continued one leg stand and placed his right foot down two more times for a total of three. Jones attempted to talk his way out of being placed under arrest by Patrolman Scott for suspicion of OVI. During standardized field sobriety testing, I was standing approximately 4-5 feet away from Jones and could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person, even at times where his back was to me. Jones stated several times he worked for the City of Alliance and that he did not do anything wrong. After Patrolman Scott placed jones into custody, informed him of his Miranda Rights and transported him back to the station for processing, I remained on scene for Springers. During the course of the administrative inventory, I located a small bottle of Hennessey cognac in the driver door pocket. The bottle still contained a small amount of liquid in it. Following Springers arrival on scene to tow the vehicle, dispatch adviskd me I was to respond to the station right away. Following my arrival on station, I found Jones standing in the squad room with his hands in his pockets and he appeared to be extremely angry and frustrated, Being in an enclosed space with Jones, I could now smell a more concentrated and strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Jones. Jones refused to sit down but did provide some cooperation during processing. Several times during processing Jones made attempts to infer he was pulled over and arrested for another reason and believed probable cause did not exist for his arrest. After Patrolman Scott provided Jones with signed copies of the BMV 2255, traffic citation and recognizance of the accused, Jones was released from police custody into the custody of his wife who was sitting in the police department lobby. While waiting for another party to pick Jones up from the station, Jones proceeded to act irate and disorderly in the department lobby and argued with his wife. At one point, Dispatcher Wheeler had to interfere and respectfully ask Jones to stop yelling and mistreating his wife in the lobby. Jones subsequently left the station following the arrival of his ride. The small bottle of Hennessey cognac was later photographed by myself then logged and secured into evidence by patrolman Scott.

Upon my and Ptl. Marchionda's arrival we entered the apartment building and observed a home made baton along with a large pair of scissors laying on the floor in front of apartment four. Ptl. Marchionda seized the weapons allegedly used in the disturbance and placed them in the trunk of his patrol car. A female at the door of apartment four stated that she and her friend were attacked by a female named Toni Pelamati and that Toni fled the scene from the rear exit of the building. I then exited the building through the rear and attempted to search for Toni to no avail. The victims were identified as Harry Sarchione who was stabbed in his hands by the large pair of scissors. Harry was not present at the apartment on our arrival but returned a short time after. Harry was actively chasing Toni when officers initially arrived. Then the second victim, Marcie Herbert, intervened to help Harry but Toni allegedly attempted to stab Marcie and threatened to kill both Harry and Marcie and then was chased through the building all the way to W. Maryland Ave. and N. 17th St. by Harry to which Harry even went and showed us where she was hiding before he returned. Officers searched the area for Toni at the location she was last scene and searched the immediate area. Toni was unable to be located and officers gathered statements and a domestic violence packet since Harry and Toni reside together in Smith Twp. Harry signed for the domestic charges and both Harry and Marcie wanted to pursue charges against Toni for the incident at the apartment.

I returned to the apartment and began to gather a written statement from Herbert who advised as she and Sarchione were struggling with Pelamati, Pelamati threatened to kill her as well as attempted to stab her with the scissors she used to injure Sarchione. While Herbert was writing her statement, Sarchione returned to the apartment and began to provide a written statement as well. Sarchione conveyed to me Pelamati was residing with him at his residence in Smith Township and after the two had a falling out, he came to Sebring to stay with Herbert for the evening. Sarchione stated and showed me while he was in Sebring, he received dozens of text messages from Pelamati. After learning that Sarchione and Pelamati were co-inhabitants, I retrieved a domestic violence packet, which Sarchione signed stating Pelamati knowingly caused physical harm to him. After obtaining written statements from Sarchione and Herbert, as well as the domestic violence packet, Patrolman Scott and I returned to the station. The large stainless steel pair of scissors and large metal rod (homemade baton) were photographed, logged and secured into the evidence room.

Eberling #503 11/13/2018 ************************************************ SEBRING POLICE STORIES Case No.; 18011063 TRAFFIC (OVI) 600 Block of W Ohio Ave, Sebring, OH 44672 CITED: Jacob Stryffeler 347 N 15th St, Sebring, OH OVI (SFST) ORC 4511.19A1A Obedience to Traffic Control Device ORC 4511.12 On Wednesday, November 14, 2018, Patrolman Marchionda performed a traffic stop in the 600 block of W Ohio Ave which resulted in the arrest of the driver for OVI. While conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit #302 on W Ohio Ave at N Johnson Ave, I observed a four-door silver sedan approach the intersection from the south and negotiate a turn east onto W Ohio Ave without stopping at the posted stop sign. I pulled out from my location and initiated a traffic stop by activating my overhead emergency lights. The vehicle, a silver Chevrolet Malibu bearing Ohio registration GRD5047, came to a complete stop in the 600 block of W Ohio Ave. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as Jacob Stryffeler, I identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop. Before I could ask Stryffeler for his driver's license, he was acting very erratically and animated as he attempted to open his glove box to obtain his insurance, which I had not asked for. I instructed Stryffeler to stop what he was doing and to provide me with his driver's license which he did so. I then instructed Stryffeler to open the glove box And provide me with his insurance documentation. While Stryffeler rifled through his glove box and retrieved several documents, he continued to act erratically by moving his body and his head around and side to side as he brought each document closely to his face. Stryffeler continued this course of action until he located insurance documentation dated 2016. I asked Stryffeler given his behavior and erratic nature, if he had consumed any alcohol or controlled substances. Stryffeler informed me he did not ingest any drugs but that he had one beer several hours earlier. Stryffeler informed me he was acting the way he.was because he was nervous. I asked Stryffeler why he was nervous and he stated "because cops make me nervous" (Sic). I asked Stryffeler if there was anything in the vehicle which could possibly cause him to get in trouble and he stated there was not. I asked Stsyffeler if he had ever been arrested for any drug related crimes. Stryffeler admitted to me he had been arrested in the past for "Molly" (sic). I instructed Stryffeler to remain in the vehicle until 1 returned. I contacted dispatch and requested that an ARIDE certified officer be dispatched to my location. Dispatch advised Patrolman Scott would be en route to my location. Following Patrolman Scott's arrival on scene, I advised him of my observations. While I began to fill out the traffic citation, Patrolman Scott instructed Stryffeler to exit the vehicle to perform a series of standardized field sobriety tests. I exited my cruiser just as Patrolman Scott was wrapping up SFSTs and observed Stryffeler fail the one leg stand test. Following SFSTs, I stood by as Patrolman Scott performed a series of ARIDE exercises and observations. Based on Patrolman Scott's training, prior experience with controlled substance related OVI's, he informed me he believed Stryffeler to be under the influence of an anesthetic. Having been on numerous traffic stops with Patrolman Scott in the past that led to the apprehension of other drivers for OVI under similar circumstances, I instructed Stryffeler to turn around and place his hands behind his back as he was under arrest for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and placed him in handcuffs which were gapped and double locked. I advised Stryffeler of his Miranda Rights which he stated he understood and subsequently placed him in the back seat of marked unit #302. Following the administrative inventory of Stryffeler's vehicle, I transported Stryffeler to the Sebring Police Department while Patrolman Scott remained on scene to wait for Springers to atrive. Following my arrival on station, I escorted Stryffeler into the squad room where I removed his handcuffs and advised him of his Miranda Rights a second time and asked if he was willing to waive his rights to provide a statement. Stryffeler refused to waive his Miranda Rights. I then read Ohio BMV 2255 to Stryffeler aloud and asked if he understood what had been read to him. After allowing Stryffeler to look over the BMV 2255 a second time, I asked Stryffeler if he was willing to submit to a chemical urine test. Stryffeler refused to submit to a chemical urine test at which point I informed him his Ohio driver's license was now seized and that he was under administrative license suspension. I instructed him from this point forward, he was prohibited from operating any motor vehicle until he could request driving privileges from the court. Patrolman Scott arrived at the station to assist with processing and paperwork. Patrolman Scott photographed and fingerprinted Stryffeler while I finished preparing the BMV 2255 which was witnessed and clerked by Dispatcher Wheeler. Stryffeler signed the BMV 2255 to acknowledge it had been read to him, that he understood it and was provided a copy. Stryffeler was issued citation #031346 for ORC 4511.19A1A (SFST) OVI and ORC 4511.12 Obedience to Traffic Control Device. I informed Stryffeler of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court#3 on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 0900 and advised him to bring proof of insurance with him to court. Stryffeler then signed the citation and was provided a copy. Stryffeler signed a recognizance of the accused and was provided his copy. Patrolman Scott provided Stryffeler a courtesy transport to his residence in Sebring and departed from the station with signed copies of the BMV 2255, traffic citation and recognizance of the accused. PTL. Marchionda #508 .............................. On 11/14/2018 around 1:24am I Ptl. Scott was requested to by Ptl. Marchionda to assist him with a possible OVI. Upon arrival I spoke to Ptl. Marchionda about the subject he had pulled over identified as Jacob Stryffeler. Ptl. Marchionda stated that he had stopped Jacobs's vehicle due to him failing to stop at an intersection. When Ptl. Marchionda informed Jacob of the traffic violation Ptl. Marchionda stated that Jacob was acting very strange and animated. Ptl. Marchionda stated he suspects that Jacob may be under the influence of a drug of abuse. I then spoke to Jacob and asked Jacob if he had consumed any type of drug prior to driving in which Jacob denied but stated that he had a beer several hours ago. While speaking to Jacob he attempted to go in the glove box and was told to stop and acted very excited and could not complete his sentences. I ordered Jacob out of the vehicle and had him stand behind his vehicle and asked Jacob if he would perform field sobriety tests in which Jacob stated that he would. Ptl. Marchionda shut his front overhead lights off so they would not interfere with the test. I asked Jacob if he had any medical conditions in which he stated that he had ADHD but does no longer take medication for it. I then had Jacob stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together and checked Jacobs eyes for a resting nystagrnus, equal pupil size, and equal tracking. Jacob's eyes both tracked equally, both of Jacobs's pupils were of equal size, and Jacob did not have a resting nystagmus. I then began the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and Onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I had Jacob stand straight up with his hands to his side and his right foot in front of his left foot while I explained the instructions. Once the instructions were explained I asked Jacob if he understood them in which Jacob stated that he did. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Stopped while walking, did not touch heel to toe, and improper turn. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed Jacob to stand straight up with his hands to his side and his feet together and explained the instructions and once the instructions were explained I asked Jacob if he understood them in which Jacob stated that he did. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, put foot down 3 times. I then preformed the modified Romberg and had Jacob stand straight up with his hands to his side and feet together and tilt his head back estimate the time of 30 seconds to himself and when finished he put his head down and say stop in which he did so in the matter of 40 seconds approximately. I then preformed the Lack of convergence and had Jacob sit on the bumper of Ptl. Marchionda's cruiser and I held a pen in front of Jacob and moved it into a circle and then coming to his forehead in between his eyes and Jacob lost focus of the pen. I suspected Jacob of using a drug of abuse and told Ptl. Marchionda the results which Ptl. Marchionda then placed Jacob under arrest for suspicion af OVI. I then stood by for the towing of the vehicle and then cleared to assist Ptl. Marchionda with the booking process. Ptl.

Upon my arrival, I observed a light blue Ford 4-door sedan bearing Ohio registration HKL2298, stopped in the middle of the roadway on N 17th St at W Vermont Ave impeding traffic. After activating my overhead emergency lights, I approached the vehicle and attempted to make contact with the driver, who was slumped over and appeared to be unconscious. After shouting multiple times for the driver to wake up and after knocking on the window, the driver slowly lifted their head up and proceeded to place a call on their cell phone. I observed the driver take their foot off the brake pedal, letting the vehicle proceed forward approximately 10 feet before stopping and placing the vehicle in park. I immediately updated dispatch and requested a second officer to be dispatched to my location. Following the arrival of Sergeant Eberling, we were able to get the driver to comply with our instructions to open the door. Both Sergeant Eberling and I observed an open tall can of Icehouse Edge sitting in the center cup holder. After the driver opened the door, Sergeant Eberling immediately reached in and removed the keys from the ignition. Sergeant Eberling and I assisted the driver out of the vehicle and could immediately smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver's breath. I assisted the driver to the rear of the vehicle as she was having difficulty walking under her own power, let alone stand on her own. After walking her to the back of the vehicle she leaned on the trunk to support her balance. While speaking to her, her speech was severely slurred and she admitted to me that she was an alcoholic who only had "a couple of beers" (sic). Sergeant Eberling located her wallet in the center console where we found her Ohio driver's license, identifying her as Alea Ann Marie Poteet. While Sergeant Eberling notified dispatch to send a tow truck to the scene, I asked Poteet if she would be willing to submit to a series of standardized field sobriety tests. Poteet refused and was subsequently placed under arrest for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. I handcuffed Poteet behind her back (gapped/double locked) and informed her of her Miranda Rights which she stated she understood. Patrolman Scott arrived on scene at this time to assist. Poteet was placed into the rear of marked unit #302 and transported from the scene to the Sebring Police Department. Patrolman Scott remained on scene to perform the administrative inventory and to standby for the tow truck. After arriving at the Sebring Police Dept, I helped Poteet exit marked unit #302 and escorted her into the squad room to begin processing. After removing the handcuffs, I read Ohio BMV 2255 to Poteet and asked her if she understood what was read to her and if she was willing to submit to both a chemical breath and urine test. Poteet stated she understood and that she was willing to submit to chemical testing. Patrolman Scott arrived at the station at this time to assist with processing and to ready the lntoxilyzer 8000 for the breath test. While in the Intoxilyzer room, Poteet was asked to sign the electronic version of the BMV 2255 and after being handed the stylus, she asked Patrolman Scott and I, "do you want to stick this(sexual implications)?" (sic) and made motions corresponding with her question. After providing the first breath sample, Poteet attempted to grab Patrolman Scott's genitals while making reference to "(sexual implication)" (sic). I escorted Poteet back to the squad room while the lntoxilyzer 8000 prepared for the second breath sample. After Patrolman Scott informed me the lntoxilyzer 8000 was ready for the second breath sample, Poteet refused to provide a second breath sample, shouting obscenities and making inappropriate sexual remarks. At this time, I informed Poteet her Ohio driver license was now seized, that she was under an administrative license suspension effective immediately and was prohibited from operating any motor vehicles. Patrolman Scott returned to the squad room and assisted with processing by photographing and fingerprinting Poteet. Poteet signed and was provided a copy of the Ohio BMV 2255 form as well as the recognizance of the accused.

I was dispatched along with Ptl. Brindack to the Oak Ridge motel for the smell of Marijuana in the restaurant, Perkins, that was attached to the Motel. Ptl. Brindack and I made contact with the owner of the establishment whom advised that her restaurant shares the same ventilation system as room 30 & 31 of the motel. Louann advised that room 31 is vacant and she went to room 30 where the room was registered to a Kristen Callahan. Louann advised that a male was in the bedroom and he advised that he would stop smoking marijuana. Louann advised that she was able to visualized two juveniles in the room and the female juvenile was naked. Ptl. Brindack and I went to room 30 and knocked on the door. A male whom was later identified as Jonathan Allen Burkholder of Goshen Twp. came out of the room and was obviously under the influence of an unknown substance. As Jonathan was coming out of the motel room, I was suddenly overtaken with the strong odor of marijuana. I requested Jonathan to get his ID card and when he went into the room I was able to see a young female with no clothing on as well as a younger male juvenile. While Jonathan was looking for his ID card , I was able to visualize him place a orange object in a purse that was laying in a pile of clothing. Jonathan also placed an item on the shelf by the window AC unit. I asked Jonathan why I smelled the strong odor of marijuana and he advised because he just got done smoking it. I asked Jonathan if he did it with the children and Jonathan advised that he went into the bathroom and smoked it. I called Prosecutor Tolson and explained the situation to her and requested the charge of Endangering Children and the charge was approved. Jonathan was then taken into custody. Jonathan was belligerent and extremely confrontational. Jonathan was screaming profanities in the parking lot of the motel causing a scene in front of patrons leaving the restaurant. Jonathan was advised several times to cease and desist, and Jonathan continued carrying on. Jonathan was placed in the cruiser and continued yelling despite being ordered to stop several times. I made contact with Cari Frantz whom was the maternal grandmother of the children and arranged for her to come and secure the juveniles. I then had Children Services call my cell phone. I spoke with the case worker, and after conversation it was decided that it was best that the children would be best placed in the temporary care of the grandma. Children services requested that the report be sent to them. While units were waiting for the grandmother to arrive on scene, one of the juveniles asked if we wanted to take a look around the room. Taking advantage of the request the orange item was later found to be a marijuana grinder, with small amounts left in the grinder. Also the item that Jonathan was placing by the window AC unit was later found to be a glass pipe with white residue inside of it wrapped in bubble wrap. Jonathan was subsequently taken back to the department after Cari secured the juveniles. Jonathan once brought back to the department became extremely irate, making processing impossible. Jonathan was taken to MCJ. Paperwork was complete and faxed to the jail. Det. Redfern ............................. On 11/03/18 I responded to the Oakridge Motel with Det. Redfern. Upon arrival we spoke with the manager Lauann who advised there was a strong odor of Marijuana coming from room 30. We knocked on the door of room 30 and a male later identified as Jonathan Burkholder came to the door obviously under the influence of an unknown substance. The room and surrounding area smelled very strongly of Marijuana. The male had his two children in the room with him a 10yo boy and 3yo girl who was completely naked. Jonathan stepped out of the room and was informed of the reason for us being there. Jonathan admitted to officers to having smoked Marijuana in the bathroom with his children nearby. Det. Redfern contacted our prosecutor who approved charges for child endangerment. Jonathan was advised he was being placed under arrest for child endangerment and was asked to contact someone who could take custody of his children. The children's grandmother was contacted to come get the children and Jonathan who was now arguing and screaming was placed handcuffed (gaped & double locked) and placed in mark unit 303. While waiting for the grandmother the 10yo invited officers to look around the room, while lookingground the room I observed a small glass pipe with residue on it wrapped in bubble wrap in plain view on the window ledge in front of the rooms AC unit. Det. Redfern was also able to obtain paraphernalia and a small amount of Marijuana. Det. Redfern spoke with CPS and the children's mother and told them what had occurred and while he was doing so Jonathan became uncooperative and was screaming in the rear of patrol car 303 despite multiple requests to stop. Units cleared and while on station Jonathan was extremely uncooperative and screamed multiple times despite being requested to stop. Det. Redfern advised me to transport Jonathan to MCJ to which I did so. While on the ride there Jonathan continuously made vulgar comments and remarks. Once Jonathan was at county jail I cleared. During this entire process Jonathan was rude and disrespectful to officers and argued constantly despite numerous requests to stop. Ptl. Brindack 507 ..............................

I then pulled into a parking lot until the vehicle passed and I positioned my cruiser behind the vehicle. The vehicle which was a 2010 dark Blue Chevrolet pick up truck bearing Ohio temporary registration G970488 then turned north on N. 76th St. and I initiated a traffic stop on the above mentioned vehicle on N. 38th St. and W. Maryland Ave. The truck did not stop completely but instead continued to slowly proceed north until I activated my audible siren which is when the vehicle came to a complete stop. I then exited my cruiser which is when Ptl. Marchionda arrived on scene. I approached the driver side of the vehicle and spoke to the registered owner which was later identified as Dale Yaggi. I informed Dale of why I had stopped him and requested his driver's license, registration and proof of insurance. Dale stated that he had just gotten off work and handed me his proof of insurance and I asked him again for his driver's license in which Dale pulled out his wallet and opened it allowing me to see the inside of the wallet and I observed his driver's license in the left compartment behind a dear cover which was very easy to see. Dale took an extensive amount of time to locate his license and went through cards in his right side of his wallet until I told him were the license was and asked for him to give it to me and Dale could not find his registration in which he leaned completely over his center console and went through his glove compartment.

I asked Dale if he had any medical or physical conditions in which Dale stated that his hip was hurting. I also asked if Dale had taken any medication in which Dale stated that he did not. I then told Dale the consequences of refusing the tests in which Dale refused again. I then ordered Dale out of the vehicle and placed Dale in custody for suspicion of OVI and at which time I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person once he exited the vehicle. I read Dale his rights and placed him in hand restraints gaped and double locked and placed Dale in the rear of my patrol car. Ptl.

On 10/9/2018, I was dispatched to 175 W Ohio Ave to assist Ptl. Scott with a domestic violence incident. Upon arrival, I observed Allen Reed sitting on the front porch speaking with Ptl. Scott. Allen had a small amount of blood coming from his right hind near his knuckles. I went inside to check on the other party who was identified as Donald G. Hill. Donald was laying in his bed with his wife and had blood all around his lips and on his face. Donald pulled his bottom lip down which revealed a rather large gouge taken out of the inside of his lip from getting hit in the mouth. Donald advised he was outside in the garage working on a vehicle when Allen came out and began arguing with him. Donald advised that Allen struck him in the face and stomped on his ankles, which he believed were broken. Donald advised he came inside and laid down in bed next to his wife at which point Allen allegedly came in and got on top of him and began punching him in the face again. Donald advised he reached up an'd pushed Allen off of him which resulted in the scratches that were around Allen's upper chest and neck area. Donald advised he needed medical attention and did wish to pursue domestic violence charges against Allen. Sebring First Responders were requested and arrived on scene and subsequently transported Donald to Alliance Community Hospital for treatment. Donald signed the domestic charge against Allen and photos were taken of his injuries and placed in the case file. Ptl. Scott and I then continued speaking with Allen who advised he had pain all over his body and requested medical attention. Sebring First Responders arrived on scene and transported Allen to Alliance Community Hospital for stitches to his hand and evaluation of his alleged pain. Once Allen was discharged from Alliance Community Hospital, Ptl. Scott went up and placed him under arrest for Domestic Violence and transported him back to headquarters for processing. PtJ. Marchionda then transported Allen to Mahoning County Jail with the discharge papenvork from the hospital. Allen was very combative therefore his DNA was not collected at the time of arrest and will be collected either by the jail or at his arraignment. Allen's domestic violence charge was elevated to a F-4 due to a recent prior domestic conviction with the same victim. Sgt. Eberling #503 10/9/2018 Upon my arrival I observed one of the individuals Allen Reed sitting on the front porch and also observed a large cut on his knuckles of his right hand that was bleeding profusely. Sgt. Eberling soon arrived and went inside to talk to the other individual involved which was Allen's step father Donald Hill which was the other male involved. I asked Allen what happened and Allen stated that Donald was choking him and bit his hand which caused it to bleed. Allen was highly intoxicated and changed his story multiple times and at some points I was not able to comprehend what Allen was trying to say due to him being intoxicated. Sgt. Eberling stated that Donald had a large cut on his lip and a swollen ankle and stated that Allen's mother witnessed parts of the altercation. I then talked to Allen's mother Karen Hill who stated that she was lying in bed while Donald was in the garage working on a vehicle when Allen came into her room and stated he was going outside to take care of Donald and fix the vehicle himself because Donald didn't know what he was doing. Karen stated that there was a physical altercation between Donald and Allen in the garage. Karen stated after the altercation Donald came inside and laid next to Karen when Allen came into the room and got on top of Donald and began striking him in the face and Karen provided a written statement. Donald grabbed Allen's neck while Allen was striking him which caused marks around Allen's neck. Allen wound on his knuckles was deep and appeared to be a result of punching Donald in the mouth. Donald signed for charges of Domestic Violence against Allen Reed and was then transported to Alliance Community HospiEal. Allen then complained of multiple injuries and requested to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. Sebring Fire then arrived and transported Allen Reed to Alliance Community Hospital. I was then notified that Allen had been cleared from the hospital and I then went to the hospital to arrest Allen Reed for domestic violence. I signed papenwork as requested by the nurse and then told Allen to stand up and put his hands behind his back in which Allen stated that he was going to kill himself and then pulled the string from his shorts and attempted to wrap it around his neck in which I grabbed the string from Allen and pulled Allen up and placed him in hand restraints. Allen was resistive and had to be forced to the cruiser where I transpotted Allen back to the station where Ptl. Marchionda transported Allen to the county jail. Allen was being combative and as a result DNA was not collected and the sheriffs office will need to do so. Allen is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Court #3 10/11/2018 at 9:00am on one count of domestic violence a F-4 due to a prior conviction.

Once test began I observed the following clues: stopped while walking, didn't touch heel to toe, stepped off line, improper turn, and lost balance. The next and last test was the one leg stand and Derrick stand straight with his arms to his side and his feet together. Once I finished giving the instructions I asked Derrick if he understood in which Derrick stated that he did.

I pulled out from the parking lot of Perkins and began to follow the vehicle. As I neared the vehicle, I observed the vehicle was traveling at a slower speed than the posted limit of 35 MPM. I utilized both the vehicle certified calibrated speedometer and mounted Genesis radar unit to pace the vehicle. Upon approaching and passing Copeland Oaks on S Johnson Rd, I observed both the speedometer and radar unit show speeds as slow as 25 MPH. I continued to follow the vehicle after it came to a complete stop at the posted stop sign on N Johnson Rd and W Ohio Ave and turn east onto W Ohio Ave. While following the vehicle on W Ohio Ave, I paced and observed speeds fluctuate from 28 to 25 MPH in a posted 35 MPH zone. After clearing the 400 block of W Ohio Ave, I initiated a traffic stop by activating my overhead emergency lights. The vehicle, a silver Audi 4-door sedan bearing Ohio registration GXQ5772, came to a complete stop in the 300 block of W Ohio Ave. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as Cynthia Masters, I identified myself and informed her of the reason for the stop. I requested Masters to produce her driver's license. Patrolman Scott arrived on scene at this time to assist. Master's stated it was somewhere in the back seat to which I advised her to keep her hands in sight and provide me with her full name, date of birth and social security number. While speaking to Masters, I could smell a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage. While Patrolman Scott approached and began to speak with Masters, I relayed her information to dispatch. Acting on the odor of an alcoholic beverage, Patrolman Scott and I instructed Masters to exit the vehicle and asked if she was willing to submit to a series of standardized field sobriety tests to determine if she was okay to drive. As Masters exited the vehicle, I asked her how much alcohol she had to drink tonight to which she replied "two beers and one of those small bottle things" (sic). After Patrolman Scott turned my overhead emergency lights off, I had Masters stand in front of the vehicle in front of me with her feet together and her hands down at her sides. I asked Masters if she had any medical conditions or involuntary jerking of the eyes to which she replied no. I asked Masters if the glasses she was wearing were prescription or reading glasses to which she replied they were prescription. I asked Masters if she was able to see without wearing them to which she replied she could not see without them. While speaking to Masters and going over the instructions for each SFST, I could smell a stronger odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath. I then explained the instructions for horizontal gaze nystagmus to Masters and asked if she understood to which she replied she did. I then placed a pen 12-15 inches in front of her face and checked for equal pupil size, resting nystagmus and equal tracking prior to beginning the exercise. I observed equal pupil size, no resting nystagmus and equal tracking. While conducting horizontal gaze nystagmus, I only observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Following horizontal gaze nystagmus, I provided instructions for walk and turn and also demonstrated the exercise for Masters. I asked Masters if she understood the instructions to which she replied yes. Masters was unable to perform the test as she gave up after stepping off line three times before completing the first nine steps. Following walk and turn, I provided instructions for one leg stand and also demonstrated the exercise for Masters. I asked Masters if she understood the instructions to which she replied yes. While attempting to perform one leg stand, Masters put her foot down several times and gave up. I then instructed Masters to turn around and place her hands behind her back as she was under arrest for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. I handcuffed Masters (gapped/double locked) and escorted her to marked unit #302 where I placed her in the back seat. Patrolman Scott updated dispatch of the arrest and to send a tow truck to the scene. Masters was read her Miranda Rights and asked if she understood them to which she replied yes. Prior to transporting Masters to the scene, I walked over to Patrolman Scott who had begun the administrative inventory of the vehicle and observed several unopened Bud Light beer cans in the passenger seat as well as one in the center console being covered by the arm rest. I asked Patrolman Scott to check the can In the center console if it was open and if it still contained beer. Patrolman Scott reached over and grabbed the can and advised it was open and that it still contained some beer. After transporting Masters to the SEBRING POLICE STORIES, I removed the handcuffs and proceeded to read Ohio BMV 2255 to her. After reading the BMV 2255 to Masters, I asked if she understood and if she was willing to submit ta a chemical breath and urine test to which she stated yes. Patrolman Scott arrived at the station following the removal of the vehicle from the scene by Springers. Patrolman Scott operated the lntoxilyzer 8000'machine and Masters provided two breath samples. Test results from the lntoxilyzer 8000 showed Master's BrAC was 0.214 g/210L. Upon retrieving the results, I advised Masters she was now under Administrative License Suspension and seized her Ohio Driver's License (Which she was able to provide after Patrolman Scott brought her purse to the station). Following the breath test, Dispatcher Wheeler came into the squad room and obtained a urine sample from Masters. The sample was then handed to Patrolman Scott who sealed the sample in the tube, sealed the tube in the sample box and subsequently placed it into the squad room refrigerator. Masters was issued traffic citation #031330 for Ohio Revised Code 4511.22 Slow Speed (25/35), Ohio Revised Code 4511.19A1A OVI (SFST) and Ohio Revised Code 4511.19A1H OVI (>0.17 BAC ) . In addition to the traffic citation, Masters was issued MM citation # 000224 for Sebring Codified Ordinance 529.07(b)(4) Open Container in a Motor Vehicle. Masters signed both citations in addition to the BMV 2255 as well as the Recognizance Form and was provided a copy for each. After Patrolman Scott obtained Master's fingerprints I photographed her. Masters was advised of her mandatory appearance before Mahoning County court #3 on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 0900 and to also bring a vatid proof of insurance. Before being released into the custody of a license driver, I reiterated to Masters she was under an Administrative License Suspension and not allowed to operate any motor vehicle. A small white pill had been located and seized by Patrolman Scott during the course of the administrative inventory of the vehicle. When Patrolman Scott arrived at the station, he handed the pill to me and asked me to identify it.

I watched as the vehicle approached the intersection at E Ohio Ave and N 15th St and proceed through the intersection at a high rate of speed after failing to stop at the functioning flashing red traffic light. I quickly entered marked unit #302 and as I pulled out onto E Ohio Ave, I activated my overheard emergency lights and audible siren. As I crossed over onto W Ohio Ave, I observed the red hatchback was already in the area of the 300 block of W Ohio Ave. I quickly caught up to the vehicle, a red Pontiac hatchback bearing Ohio registration HLW4742, on W Ohio Ave near N 20th St as it pulled over and came to a complete stop on W Ohio Ave at N Johnson Rd. Immediately upon exiting my patrol vehicle, I ordered the driver to turn the vehicle off, place her hands outside the window and advised dispatch to send me a second unit. Upon making contact with the driver, later identified as Victoria Nelson, I ascertained as to why she had driven so fast through the village and why she failed to stop at the traffic light. Nelson advised me she had been in contact with her mother over the phone and that she was told to come home. Nelson admitted she had not been paying attention and was unaware of how fast she was going or that she had failed to stop at the traffic light. Patrolman Scott and Patrolman Peterman arrived on scene at this time. I instructed Nelson to exit the vehicle and stand off the side of the roadway so we could continue talking. Nelson was visibly distraught and hysterical. For her safety as well as our safety, Nelson was temporarily placed in handcuffs behind her back (gapped and double locked) and advised she was detained pending further investigation. Nelson consented to a search of her vehicle and stood by with Patrolman Scott while Patrolman Peterman and I conducted the search. No contraband was recovered during the course of the consensual search of the vehicle. Given the distance between Nelson and I when I initially activated my overhead emergency Iights, sirens and that she started to pull over once I neared her vehicle, I advised she was not going to be arrested for failure to comply. I removed the handcuffs from Nelson and allowed her to enter her vehicle. Nelson was issued citation #031426 for Village Ordinances 333.09A Reckless Operation and 313.01 Obedience to Traffic Control Device. Nelson was able to provide valid proof of insurance on scene and was advised of her appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, September 13,2018 at 0900. PtI D.

As the vehicle turned west onto W Oregon Ave, I performed a random registration check of the vehicle through dispatch. Dispatch advised the registered owner, Luis Orlando Giron Cintron, was under suspension for drug abuse but had driving privileges. I then proceeded to follow the vehicle as it turned north onto N 16th St and across W Ohio Ave. I initiated a traffic stop by activating my overhead emergency lights as the vehicle turned west onto W Maryland Ave. The vehicle came to a complete stop on W Maryland Ave just west of 16th St. Upon making contact with the driver/registered owner, identified as Cintron, I identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop. Cintron stated he was aware his driver's license was susbended and that he had driving privileges. I asked Cintron to provide me with the court documentation detailing his privileges to which he stated the court never gave him documentation, that they only told him he had privileges for work. While interacting Cintron, I was able to smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, observed he had bloodshot/glossy eyes and his speech was slurred while speaking to me. I asked Cintron if he had consumed any beers or alcoholic beverages this evening and he stated did not. Cintron stated he had just left his brother's place and that his brother had been drinking. Cintron stated after he got off work, he stopped at his brother's place and was on his way home. I asked Cintron to provide me with his driver's license, which he did. While speaking to Cintron, he did advise me he was from Puerto Rico and had some difficulty with the English language. I instructed Cintron to turn the ignition off and keep his hands on the steering wheel while I went back to my patrol car. I then requested Patrolman Scott to come to my location and advised dispatch I was going to have the driver exit the vehicle to perform standardized field sobriety tests. I returned to the vehicle and requested Cintron to exit the vehicle and asked if he would be willing to take a series of exercises to determine if he was intoxicated or not to which he stated yes. Prior to the instructional stages of the SFST, I asked Cintron if he had any medical conditions or physical ailments that would impair his ability to perform the tests to which he stated he did not. Prior to having Cintron perform each SFST, I provided Cintron with instructions and also demonstrated said instructions for him. After instructions were provided both verbally and physically, I asked Cintron if he understood to which he stated he did and allowed him to perform each test. During horizontal gaze nystagmus, I observed nystagmus in both eyes during lack of smooth pursuit as well as distinct nystagrnus at maximum deviation in both eyes but did not observe onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. Patrolman Scott arrived on scene following the conclusion of horizontal gaze nystagmus. During the walk and turn, Cintron stepped off line during the first 9 steps I and started over, which caused him to take the wrong number of steps and execute an improper turn. Cintron also failed to maintain heel to toe on the first 9 steps as well as the second 9 steps. No indicators were observed during the one leg stand. Following the conclusion of the SFSTs, I asked Cintron if he would be willing to provide a breath sample on scene by blowing into a portable breath tester to which he stated yes. Patrolman Scott operated the PBT and advised Cintron of what he had to do. According to the PBT, Cintron blew a 0.099 and was subsequently placed under arrest for OVI and placed into handcuffs behind his back which were gapped/doubl & locked. A tow truck was then requested to the scene to tow the vehicle. After placing Cintron under arrest, I advised him of his Miranda Rights to which he stated he did not understand at first. I read him his Miranda Rights a second time and explained each right to him to which he stated he understood the second time. Cintron was patted down for weapons and placed into the back of marked unit #302. While I transported Cintron back to the SEBRING POLICE STORIES to begin processing, Patrolman Scott remained on scene to conduct the administrative inventory and to standby for the tow truck. The vehicle was subsequently towed to Springer's at 10 N 12th St in the village. Following our arrival on station, I removed Cintron's handcuffs and began to read him the Ohio BMV 2255. I observed something in Cintron's mouth that I did not see on scene and noticed he was chewing gum. I instructed Cintron to spit the gum out 2253. At the conclusion of reading the form to him, Cintran refused to sign the form and stated he did not understand what I had read to him. Patrolman Scott arrived at the station at this time to start up the Intoxilyzer 8000 machine and to assist with processing. Cintron at one point demanded his lawyer be present and we allowed him to phone his lawyer which was unsuccessful. I could overhear the phone calls going to voicemail but Cintron claimed he did not have a signal. Cintron's phone rang several times while on station as well. I phoned an interpreter service and re-read the Ohio BMV 2255 to Cintron with the assistance of a spanish speaking interpreter. This process took longer than usual as Cintron continued to interrupt me and demand to know the circumstances of the stop and his arrest, which were explained to him. After reading BMV 2255 to Cintron with the assistance of the interpreter, Cintron provided his signature and submitted to a chemical breath test. The first chemical breath test was conducted at 2355 however, Cintron was not blowing into the mouthpiece adequately and the lntoxilyzer 8000 advised a deficient sample. We allowed Cintron to submit to 2 more chemical breath tests with the last printout showing a time of 0015. After Cintron failed to provide a sufficient breath sample 3 times, I advised him 3 deficient samples would result in a refusal. Following the conclusion of the chemical breath tests, Cintron was photographed and fingerprinted. I advised Cintron I would be seizing his Ohio driver's license and issued him citation #031247 for Ohio revised Code 4511.19A1A OVI (SFSTsIOfficer Observations) M-1 and 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension - In State Drug Offense M-1. Cintron refused to sign the citation and was provided his copy. Cintron was then provided a recognizance of the accused form to sign to which he refused to sign at first but eventually signed after the form was explained to him in better detail and provided his copy. Cintron was also provided a signed copy of his Ohio BMV 2255 form. Cintron was advised of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, August 16, 2018 at 0900 and subsequently released and allowed to wait in the police department lobby.

Hughey and I were traveling east on Courtney Rd when I observed a vehicle traveling on the same road in the opposite direction that appeared to be traveling higher than the posted speed limit which is 35mph. I then activated my cruisers forward mounted radar unit and observed a digital reading of 50mph while in the posted 35mph zone. The vehicle then passed my cruiser and Ptl. Hughey which was driving activated the emergency overhead lights and preformed a U-turn and was able to stop the vehicle on N. Johnson Rd. just south of Courtney Rd. The vehicle was a grey 2002 ford station wagon bearing an Ohio license plate (HIZ4747;). I then approached the vehicle and identified the driver as Ian Williams and while talking to Ian I noticed a pipe laying on the floor board by his feet. I asked Ian to exit the vehicle which Ian did. I then asked if the pipe contained marijuana residue in which Ian stated that it did. I then informed dispatch that Ptl. Hughey and I would be conducting a probable cause search of the vehicle. I then asked the passenger which was identified as Amanda Bandy to exit the vehicle in which she did. Amanda acted nervous once she exited the passenger seat of the vehicle. I had both individuals step to the rear of the vehicle and both were patted down for officer safety. I patted Ian down and Ptl. Hughey patted Amanda down. Ian was placed in the rear of unit #301 and Amanda was placed in the rear of unit#302 while officers conducted a search of the vehicte. Upon searching the Vehide I found two bags which belonged to Amanda, Amanda was asked by Ptl. Hughey if officers were allowed to search her bags in which Amanda gave verbal consent for officers to do so. While Ptl. Hughey searched Amanda's bags I continued to search the vehicle and while searching the rear of the passenger seat in a pocket connected to the rear of the passenger seat where Amanda was sitting I found a small brown bag which contained a glass bulb pipe with burnt residue inside of it. Ptl. Hughey also located 2 more glass pipes from Amanda's baggage that had small amounts of a white powder substance and some burn marks as well as 3 unmarked capsules containing a brown powder substance. I asked Ian if he had any knowledge of the contraband in which Ian denied and stated that the pipes were used for "smoking Ice" and stated that the pipes belonged to Amanda. Ian was asked to be more specific in which Ian replied " Crystal Meth". The pipes along with the pills were confiscated and bagged separate to avoid cross contamination. Since two of the glass pipes were found in Amanda's baggage along with small empty plastic baggies it was determined that the pipe in the rear pocket of the passenger seat belonged to Amanda and it also being in Amanda's immediate area. I then placed Amanda under arrest for drug paraphernalia 2925.14 M-4 and read Amanda her rights at 12:03am and placed Amanda in hand restraints and placed her in the rear of marked unit #301 and released Ian. Ian was given a citation for speed SCO 333.03, and SCO 513.121 Marijuana paraphernalia due to admitting that the pipe was used to smoke marijuana and also finding a digital scale in Ian's immediate area.

Both parties stated Mark Mueller came to the residence and refused to leave when requested to do so, It was discovered Mark had fled the area on foot prior to our arrival. I cleared to search the surrounding area while Patrolman Scott remained on scene to gather more information. Following Patrolman Scott's departure, officers remained relatively close to the area in case Mark returned after we left. Patrolman Scott and I were then dispatched to 531 W Texas Ave a second time after Marsadies phoned the station to report Mark had come back. Following our arrival, a neighbor from across street stated she saw "him" run behind her and her neighbor's backyards on the north side of the street and then return after we left the first time. This neighbor advised me she saw him take off on foot in the backyards on the south side,of the street. While Patrolman Scott advised dispatch he would be out on foot in the area of W Texas Ave and S 20th St, I positioned myself in the parking lot of the Sebring Community Center in front of the basketball hoops near the pool. While blacked out in the parking lot, I observed Mark Mueffer from a distance walking east at a fast pace near the Veteran's Memorial an the south side of the street. I then pulled up near the memorial and advised dispatch of my findings and that I would be out on foot. I then proceeded to catch up with Mark on foot before finally shining my flashlight on him and yelling, "Mark, stop!" Mark complied with my instructions and began to walk towards me. While speaking to Mark, he admitted that he had gone to the residence to speak to his girlfriend, Rebecca and that he had left when she told him someone at the residence "had a restraining order against him." A quick check with dispatch confirmed there was no entered protection order in LEADS against Mark. When asked why he returned a second time to the residence, Mark stated he had only gone to the residence one time and did not return after being told to leave the first time. I asked Mark if he had any weapons on his person and he stated he had a pocket knife on him. I advised him to keep his hands where I could see them and to turn around and place his hands behind his back as I was going to detain him pending further investigation. Mark was placed in handcuffs behind his back, which were gapped-double locked and the pocket knife removed from his shorts for officer safety. I then escorted Mark back to marked unit #302 and radioed for Patrolman Scott to come to my location as I had Mark detained.

Marsadies stated that Makayla does not want Mark on the property and when Mark showed up to the residence he was told multiple times to leave from her along with Rebecca and refused until Marsadies called the police department. Rebecca stated that Mark showed up at the residence telling Rebecca to come home with him. Rebecca stated that she is staying at the residence with her cousin Makayla. Rebecca stated that Mark entered the residence and once exited she locked the door so he would not enter a second time. Rebecca stated that Mark was banging on the door and yelling and then fled on foot prior to police arriving. I then asked Marsadies and Rebecca if they wanted Mark to stop coming on the property in which they stated yes. Officers cleared and stayed in close proximity in case Mark returned. I was then dispatched a second time to the residence for the same reason and once I arrived on scene Mark had already left.

Following the arrival of Springers, Patrolman Scott returned to the scene with Rios and Perkins in the back seat of marked unit #301. According to traffic heard over the radio, the pair had last been scene at Circle K and Patrolman Scott advised me he located them walking west on W Ohio Ave near N 16th St. Both Rios and Perkins stated neither one of them had been operating the motor vehicle when I performed the U-turn. Perkins alleges her sister had been driving the vehicle and that they parked the car and left it because "it had run out of gas" (sic) and they had left to get a gas can from Circle K. I advised both parties if that was truly the case, there was no need to evade and abandon the vehicle behind a private residence. Rios and Perkins were given an opportunity to make contact with a valid driver to bring money to the scene to release the vehicle which was now hooked to the Springers' tow truck. Rios and Perkins were unsuccessful in making contact with a valid driver and were alloyed to retrieve personal belongings from the vehicle before it was towed from the scene, Although Rios and Perkins allege a "Jennifer Perkins" had been operating the vehicle, all attempts to make contact with her were unsuccessful and it was later discovered Rios was in possession of the key for the vehicle. As I was unable to identify the driver prior to executing the U-turn and both parties denying driving the vehicle, they were released from the scene on foot. Patrolman Scott and I then cleared the scene without further incident. ****************************************** SEBRING POLICE STORIES ARREST REPORT Case No.: 18008009 traffic Courtney Rd / Allied Dr Speed 47/35 333.0 On 08/03/18 while in a marked patrol car, I was parked facing west in the shipping and receiving area of Famous distribution in the 300 block of Courtney Rd.

During the course of our investigation on scene, it became apparent that two parties, Zachary Jones and Chasity Lecorchick, had been involved in a minor physical dispute. Jones and Lecorchick admitted to officers on scene they were a couple who had a child together and were living with one another. Jones initially wanted to pursue domestic violence charges against Lecorchick for slapping him in the face but later changed his mind. While speaking with Jones to obtain more information about what happened, I overheard several parties begin to yell. as a group of unidentified peopje walked passed the scene. One of the parties yelling in the street was Reginald W Neill. Apparently one of theunknown subjects that walked by made eye contact with Neill and that enraged him and caused him to start gelling at the individual and began taunting him., I then got in front of Neill in an attempt to calm him down to no avail. I repeatedly instructed Neill to stop yelling and to calm down. As I gave these lawful commands to Neill, I placed both hands, open palm, on his chest in an attempt to keep him from advancing. Neill continued to yell and taunt the unknown individuals who were now walking away from the scene and pushed against me. After several attempts to calm Neill down and keep him back, I instructed Neil to turn around and place his hands behind his back as he was under arrest for disorderly conduct with persistence. Neill complied with my lawful instructions to turn around and place his hands behind his back. I then placed Neill in handcuffs which were gapped/double locked and then escorted him to marked unit #304. A pat down of Neill was performed and he was subsequently placed into the back of marked unit #304. I advised dispatch one male was in custody for disorderly conduct with persistence. I then advised Patrolman Brindack I would be taking Neill back to the station to start processing the arrest. Upon my arrival at the station, I immediately began to photograph, fingerprint and process Neill. After Neill was placed under arrest at the scene, he became extremely cooperative and compliant. I advised NeiIl because of his behavior after being placed under arrest in, addition to the offense being a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, I would release him under his own I I recognizance.

Marchionda made contact with several parties including Chasity Lynn Lecorchick , Zachary Jones, Reginald Neil, Roderick Neil, Scott Fusco, and Josiah Fusca along with several other family members of both Zachary Jones and Chasity. Upon arrival all parties were involved in heated arguments amongst each other and many parties were threatening each other and screaming in the roadway. Parties were separated and everyone was calmed except for Reginald Neil who was heavily intoxicated and frequently became irate. I spoke with Scott Fusco and Reginald while other officers spoke with other parties involved. Both Scott and Reginald said everyone was just arguing and no one had become physical at anytime. I then spoke with Zachary Jones and PtF. Marchionda spoke with Reginald and Scott. Zachary told me his girlfriend and mother of his child Chasity smacked him multiple times in the face. Zachary advised he did want to press charges for domestic violence. While speaking with Ptl. Marchionda however he said he did not want charges pressed and signed a refusal. At this point several more family members arrived on scene and began once again to argue amongst each other. Reginald Neil became enraged when an unknown individual walked by the scene and Reginald approached the individual and scream in his face. Reginald had to be asked several times to stop by officers. Reginald refused to comply with lawful commands multiple times and was arrested by Ptl. Marchionda for DOC with persist and was immediately taken away from the scene as he was the main one causing problems. Myself and Ptl. Russell then remained on scene. Now that parties were calm all unnecessary parties were asked to leave and complied. Units then spoke with Zachary and Chasity separately. Zachary advised to me he now wanted to press domestic violence charges and only signed a refusal because he felt pressured by his family and felt as though he was forced into the decision. Chasity advised that Zachary had pushed her and she now wanted Domestic violence charges on Zachary she stated that after he pushed her he walked away and later while a second argument occurred he called her a "cunt" seven times so she smacked him in the face. Both parties signed domestic violence charges. Chasity was placed under arrest by Ptl. Russell and Zachary was placed under arrest by me. Zachary was handcuffed (gaped and locked) and placed in the back of patrol car#303 and transported by me to our station.

Upon arrival officers made contact with several family members that were involved in a heated argument. Oficers were advised the argument for all family members were due to a fight between Chasity Lecorchick and Zachary Jones. Officers separated all the individuals. I then made contact with Mr. Jones. While speaking with Mr. Jones I was advised that he and his girlfriend Chasity had a verbal argument that lead to him being hit in the face several times on the left side near his eye causing a red swollen mark by Chasity. Mr. Jones stated several times he wanted to pursue charges. Medical treatment was refused at this time. I then made contact with Chasity Lecorchick that advised this officer the argument started because he refused to pay $20.00 in his rent fees and refused to turn down the music with their four month old son in the car. I was advised that Mr. Jones started calling her names such as a fucking idiot and a fucking cunt and she had enough of being put down and she reached over and hit him in the face. At this time, Ms. Chasity Lecorchick was placed in to custody for domestic violence and read her rights. Mr. Jones was also placed in to custody at this time for domestic violence due to Chasity stating she was shoved first by Mr. Zachary Jones because she got in his face. I called for assistance from a Smith township unit to transport Ms. Lecorchick due to Mr. Jones being placed in the back seat of the patrol car to keep the two parties separated. Ms. Lecorchick was transported back to the SEBRING POLICE DEPARTMENT by Ptl, Caughey of Smith Township.

Ptl. Brindack 507 On 07/26/18 I was responding to a domestic disturbance case # 180071 59 at 236 Alabama apt#12 and #11 with Sgt. Eberling in which the caller advised the male party was hitting the female party. While responding dispatch advised the male party was leaving the apartments. As we approached Alabama Ave from S 14th St I observed a maroon car pass us coming from the direction of the Alabama address. Sgt. Eberling radioed out the plate and it was confirmed to be the male party by dispatch. I then turned around and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle a maroon Hyundai Elantra bearing OH HDA7441. I made contact with the driver identified as Dennis James Crider who had a suspended license for license forfeiture. As I spoke with James I could immediatety detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. 1 asked James what was going on at the Alabama apartments and he explained he was in a verbal argument with his ex and decided to leave before it escalated. As James explained I observed slurred speech and glossy eyes. I asked James if he had been drinking and he said yes he was. James told me he had three 12oz beers and knew he should not be driving. I then asked James to step out of the vehicle to perform Standardized field sobriety tests. James said he would submit to the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test but could not do the walk and turn or one leg stand as he had a "broken leg" I observed James leg was wrapped but was not in a cast. I instructed James to stand with his feet together and put his arms down at his sides while I gave him instructions for the HGN I observed James struggled and was confused as to what positions his hands needed to be in despite it being explained multiple times. James was finally able to understand and stood in the proper position. Prior to beginning the HGN I asked James if he had any head or eye injuries that would prevent him from performing the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus . James advised that he did not have any head injuries and his eyes were fine. I then checked James for Equal Pupil size, Resting Nystagmus, and Equal tracking. James had equal pupil size, no resting nystagmus, and equal tracking. I then began the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. While testing I observed that James was having difficulty balancing and was swaying from side to side. I instructed James to remain still and continued the test. I observed James had Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, Distinct and sustained Nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes, and Nystagmus prior to 45 degree in both eyes. After the test I asked James If he wished to attempt the one leg stand and walk and turn test. James refused both tests. I was then informed by Sgt. Eberling that a female from the incident we were originally called for was going to be coming to pick up the vehicle. I advised James he was being placed under arrest for suspicion of OVI. Sgt. Eberling then arrived and released the vehicle to the female. I then transported James to our station where he was read an Ohio BMV 2255 form. James was asked to submit to a breath and urine test to which he complied. Both tests were conducted by Sgt. Eberling. James blew a -062 on breath test and his urine will be sent to the lab for analysis. James was issued a citation for OVI 4511.1 9A1A and Driving under suspension 4510.21. James was given a recognizance bond and released with a court date at MCC#3 of 08/02/18 at 0900hrs. Ptl. Brindack 507 On 7/26/2078, I assisted Ptl.

A short time later, Sgt Eberling arrived on scene and immediately climbed the tree for support with 3 other unknown individuals in the tree at the time. He then identified the individual as Adam Tyson. The Fire department anived and took over the scene. Fire Department then had to use a chainsaw to extract him due to his leg was wedged on a branch and could'nt remove him. Once Adam was free from the tree EMS began treatment. When asked what happened they stated to me he was cutting down a tree got himself stuck in a tree.

Kristina was advised when she was finished to contact the palice department and an officer would pick it up. Ptt. Kelm 505 7/24/2018 On 7/23/2018, I was dispatched to 696 W Tennessee Ave to assist with a male who was unresponsive and stuck in a tree. Upon arrival with Rtl. Rober, we observed the male to be approximately 15 ft in the air with his left leg wedged in a 'V" in the tree and his body hanging upside down. There was two males, one was identified as Glenn Founier II and the other was unknown and a female whom I knew to be Kristina M. Tyson were all up in the tree attempting to keep the males body upright. Kristina advised to me that she was afraid of heights and needed assistance so I immediately climbed up an extension ladder that was against the tree to get up to their position. The male who was stuck in the tree was idenffied as Adam Tyson and was unresponsive at the time of arrival. Kristina, Glenn and myself collectively were able to push up on Adam's bodylhead enough to keep him parallel to the ground until Sebring First Responders arrived on scene. Kristina advised that Adam was up in the tree for approximately 45 minutes prior to police/fire getting called. Noah Rastetter of Sebring Fire was able to get a ladder up on the other side of the tree and get up higher then we could to check on Adam. Noah advised his skin was grey and he had foam around his mouth and was still unresponsive. Based on the amount of time that Adam had been unresponsive already and no other timely options he requested another fire member to get a chain saw to cut the branch and free Adams leg. Noah was able to get the branch cut enough to pull Adam's leg out however did cut Adam's leg in the process on accident. Adam was lowered down to other members of the fire department at which point they began first aid and subsequently transported him to Alliance Community Hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. Stark County Coroners Ofice was notified by hospital staff and the coroner advised they were taking possession of the body for further examination. Noah and I were both possibly exposed to blood from Adam while on scene and both of us went to Alliance Community Hospital to have blood work done as a precautionary measure for blood borne pathogens. This was reported to both Chief Harris and Fire Chief Brian Anderson. On 7/24/2018, Ptl. Kelm was able to gather written statements from most of the individuals who were on scene for this call and placed them in the case file. I went and spoke with Kristina at her residence about the incident. Kristina advised that Adam had been stuck in the tree for approximately 45 minutes prior to police getting called. Kristina advised that Adam had his left foot in the "V" in the tree trying to cut a branch and attempted to shuffle around the tree but slipped which resulted in his whole leg getting wedged in the tree. Kristina advised that Adam told her numerous times to not call police/fire and that he wanted her and the neighbors to get him out. Kristina advised they attempted to do everything they could to get him out however could not get him out. Kristina advised that after approximately 20 minutes Adam told her that he was getting very weak from holding onto the tree and advised he was going to pass out and would probably die on the tree. Kristina advised he passed out and fell backwards and just hung from his leg upside down at which point she began screaming for someone to call 911. Our reportee Brittany Chestnut who lives next door heard the screaming and called dispatch. I spoke with Dr. Robinson via phone from the Stark County Coroner's Office and provided her with a brief synopsis of this incident. Dr. Robinson advised there was no signs of blunt force trauma to Adam and they were more than likely going to be releasing the body to the funeral home. I advised Dr. Robinson that as soon as this report was approved by the Chief it would be faxed to their office to which she advised that was fine. Based on the statements gathered and evidence present on scene, there were no signs of foul play so therefore this case will be closed. Sgt.

Redfern 504 On 07/21/2018, I was traveling westbound on East Ohio Avenue in the area of North 13th Street When I observed a Silver Volkswagen with no headlights or tail lights on, traveling North on North 13th Street fail to complete a stop at the intersection prior to turning to start to travel Westbound on Ohio. While the Volkswagen was in front of me I observed the vehicle make an extremely wide turn nearly hitting the curb on the northside of the road. The vehicle quickly attempted to overcompensate and subsequently went into the adjacent lane of oncoming traffic at which point I decided to conduct a traffic stop. I then made contact with the restrained driver of the vehicle whom was identified as William Lough of Alliance. William advised me that he was coming from his girlfriend's residence in Beloit. William had an overwhelming odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. William's sclera's were glassy and bloodshot. William was stumbling over his words and advised that he forgat to turn on his headlights because he could not figure out how to turn them on. I asked William if he was drinking anything tonight and he advised,that he was at his friends drinking prior. I asked William if he felt okay to drive and he advised that he did. I asked William if he would pass field sobriety testing if I asked him to perform such tests and William advised that he could. I then asked William to get out of the car and, William complied, but was very unsteady and needed to hold on to the vehicle to maintain balance. I had William stand in the parking lot of the Fire Department, so he could perform the tests. I asked William if he had any medical or physical conditions that would inhibit him from taking the tests in which William stated that his ankle was bothering him. I had William stand straight up with his arms to his side and his feet together and held my finger in front of his face as a stimulus and I checked William's eyes for equal pupil size, equal tracking, and a resting nystagmus. Both of William's pupils were of equal size, both of William's eyes tacked equally, and William did not have a resting nystagmus. I then began to explain the instructions for the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and had William stand straight up with his arms to his side and his feet together. Once I explained the instructions I asked William if he under stood in which William stated that he did understand and advised that he has done this test several of times. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation In both eyes, and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes. The next test was the walk and turn and I had William stand straight up with his arms to his side and his right foot in front of her left foot and before I could start the instructions he began to walk and was told to stay in the position and listen to the instructions. Once the instructions were explained I asked if William understood in which William stated the he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following William walked hYo normal not hill to toe steps and said he could not do that test as he nearly fell. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed William to stand straight up with his arms to his side and his feet together and not to move until I told him to. Once the instructions were explained I asked William if he understood in which William stated that he did understand and to be noted William was instructed not to put his foot down. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Swayed while balancing, used arms to balance, and William put his foot down 3 times and kept it down stating that he could not finish which ended the test. Based on the test results and my experience I placed William under arrest for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drug of abuse. I placed William in hand restraints and placed William in the rear of unit #301 and I read William his Miranda rights. I advised William that I had a few more tests that I needed him to complete back at station. William advised "I will blow way over the legal limit". I requested dispatch to send another unit to secure the vehicle with Spingers towing while I came to station for chemical testing. Ptl. Marchionda arrived on location and stood by. The vehicle was towed to 10 N. 12th St. with no hold. I arrived back at station and instructed William into the booking room, I then read William the BMV 2255 form and asked William if he would consent to chemical testing in which William stated that he would consent to chemical testing and signed the BMV 2255 form. I observed William when I first made contact with him and 20 minutes had passed since his arrest which qualified for the 20 minute observation period. Ptl. Scott then preformed a breath test of William, which advised that the test was invalid. I then set up the machine for another test and during the first blow of air William kept stopping during the test and would not give one long complete blow, Finally William was able to give enough air for one reading which registered at a .302 g/210L being nearly four (4) times over the legal limit. During the second blow William continued to give short breaths and the second reading was a .275g/210L+ Due to William's deliberate short breaths the machine did not register a correct BAC. William was advised that he needed to provide a urine sample to avoid being charged with an OVI Refusal. Urine was collected and placed in a secure box and placed into the refrigerator in a lock box. William was then given a recognizance bond of $1,000 for OVI (SFST) 4511.19 (A) (1)(a) and was advised that when the urine results came back he would then be placed under an ALS suspension. I issued a traffic citation to William for both OVI, and for left of center William was given copies of the BMV 2255 form, the citation, the recognizance bond. William is scheduled to appear on 07/26/2018 at 9:00am at MCC#3 with a personal appearance required. Once William received his copies of paper work he was released to a valid and sober driver. Ptl.

Ohio Ave. Sebring, OH 44672 Domestic Violence ORC 2919.25 Arrested: Jessica Yaggi 756 N. 15th St., Sebring, Oh On 07/20/2018 I Ptl, Scott and Ptl. Marchionda were dispatched to 545,W. Ohio Ave. for a male that had been assaulted with a blunt object by a neighbor. Ptl. Scott #506 I Ptl. Scott was the first one on scene and upon my arrival I observed a group of people outside in front of the residence two individuals on the front porch and two more in the front yard. I talked to a male that was in the front yard identified as Jon Steed which appeared to be under the influence and Jon stated that he had came home and his girlfriend saw a message on his phone and attacked him and Jon grabbed her and took her to the ground to run away. Jon stated that when he came outside his girl friend had followed him and the neighbor which was identified as Jessica Yaggi came over with a gardening rake and began to chase Jon and Amanda took the rake and began to swing it and hesitated which is when Jessica took it, and swung for her hiting Jon in the back of the head. I then asked for Sebring 1st Responders to come to the scene to assess Jon for his minor injuries which were small scratches on the back and side of his neck which he later refused medical treatment. I then spoke to Jon's girlfriend who was identified as Amanda Taveras and Amanda stated that when Jon came home she saw a message on his phone from another girl and she threw the phone at him and pushed Jon in the face with an open palm. Amanda then stated that Jon took her to the ground and began to choke her. Amanda then stated that when they went outside Jon had gotten on top of her and began to, beat her by punching her. I then spoke to two witnesses at the scene, the first was identified as Cassandra Edwards who stated when she came out side she saw Amanda and Jessica come around the corner yelling at Jon and Amanda allegedly yelled " We are going to fight or I'm calling the cops". Cassandra continued stating that Jon then went to the steps by the sidewalk and sat down when Amanda picked up an object later found to be a garden rake and swung it at Jon hitting him in the shoulder. Cassandra stated that Jessica then took the rake and swung it hitting Jon the back of his head and neck area and Jessica then ran away going inside her home on 540 1/2 Oregon Ave. The second witness identified as Karli Wilson stated that she heard yelling out side and she then went outside and watched as Amanda stated "Either call the cops or you're getting your ass beat". Karli then stated that Amanda picked up the rake and when she was about to swing the rake Jessica took it from her and swung it at Jon hitting him in the shoulder and then running off. Once I interviewed the individuals I then detained Amanda while Jon was being assessed by medical personal. I then walked behind the residence into the alley where 540 1/2 Oregon Ave. to attempt to make contact with Jessica which was unsuccessful. I then contacted the home owner which drove to the residence and gave officers permission to enter the residence. The home owner had a key to the front door but the screen door in front of the door was locked. The home owner then asked if he could break the screen door and he was advised that he could do what ever he wanted due to it being his property. The screen door was then removed and the door was unlocked by key and officers entered the residence and found Jessica laying in between a bed and a closet in her mothers room. Jessica was then placed under arrest for assault and placed in hand restraints and was also read her rights. Jessica helped locate the rake and confirmed that she had hit Jon with it and thrown it when she ran. Jessica was placed in the rear of unit #302. I then placed both Jon and Amanda under arrest for domestic violence and read them both their rights and placed Jon in hand restraints placing Jon in the rear of Smith Twp, unit 34. The rake was confiscated and taken to the station and was logged as property. All three individuals were transported to station where they were processed, finger printed, and photographed. Jon and Amanda had photographs taken of their injuries, Amanda also refused to give a written statement of the event. Jon and Amanda both were charged with domestic violence and Jessica was charged with assault and all three individuals posted bond through Sly Bail Bonds agent Christopher Harkovitch. Jon and Amanda both posted a $2,500.00 bond for domestic violence and the conditions of bond were relayed to them prior to being released which they had signed along with signing domestic refusals, Jessica posted a $1,250.OO bond for assault and was released. Jon, Amanda, and Jessica were given copies of the recognizance form that they had signed and Jon and Amanda were given the case number along with their victim rights, and the domestic violence information sheet, All three power of attorneys were obtained and copies were made. All three individuals are scheduled to appear in MCC#3 on 07/26/2018 at 9:OOam. Ptl. Scott #506 07/20/2018 Upon my arrival, 1 observed Patrolman Scott already on scene making contact with witnesses, the victim and the alleged suspect. I took over interviewing the victim, Jon-Michael Steed, while Patrolman Scott attempted to locate another suspect who had supposedly fled prior to our arrival. steed appeared to be distraught, angry and intoxicated while speaking with him. Steed stated he and his girlfriend, Amanda Taveras, had gotten into a verbal altercation over him talking to another female. Steed stated the altercation became physical when Tavera started to hit him. In self- defense, Steed stated he pushed Tavera to the ground to prevent her from hiting him. Steed then stated he exited the residence and observed Taveras retrieve what appeared to be a "garden hoe" and attempt to swing it at him. Steed stated as he turned to avoid being struck, he observed the other female involved, Jessica Yaggi, take the hoe out of Taveras' hands and hit him ' with it although he claimed his back was to both of them. Steed was struck on the back of his neck as I observed several small cuts and minor lacerations which were still bleeding. Steed shouted several times he wanted to press charges against Taveras and Yaggi and uttered his girlfriend Tavera was on probation and wanted her charged with domestic violence as the two reside together. While speaking to Steed, members of the Sebring Fire Department began to arrive on scene to assess his injuries. Following instructions by Patrolman Scott, I made contact with Tavera and advised her she was detained pending further investigation into the matter. I instructed Taveras to stand up, place her hands behind her back and subsequently placed her in handcuffs which were gapped and double locked. I then placed Tavera in the back seat of marked unit #301 and reiterated to her she was not under arrest at this time; that she was only being detained until the all the facts could be ascertained. While placing her in the back of #301, I observed her face to appear puffy and also observed marks on her neck. I then made contact with two witnesses who also resided at the residence, Karli Wilson and her girlfriend Cassandra Edwards (Steed's half-sister). I asked Edwards and Wilson if they were willing to provide voluntary written statements to which they said yes. According to Wilson, she heard yelling outside of the residence and observed Taveras and Steed in a verbal altercation in which Taveras told Steed, "call the cops or you're getting your ass beat." According to Wilson, Tavera then picked up what appeared to be a garden hoe and began to swing it at Steed but didn't connect because Yaggi ripped it out of her hand and struck Steed. Edwards stated she witnessed Taveras strike Steed with the hoe on his shoulder and then observed Yaggi take the hoe out of Taveras' hands and struck Steed on the back of his neck. According to Edwards'statemnt, Yaggi was "in full baseball stants and swings full force hitting my brother Jon" (sic). Both Edwards and Wilson confirmed Yaggi ran from the scene towards the rear of the residence. Dispatch advised a key holder for 540 1/2 W Oregon Avenue was en route to the location to provide Patrolman Scott and Sergeant Davis (who arrived on scene 20 provide assistance) entry into the residence that it was believed Yaggi ran into. Prior to the key holder's arrival on scene, I was advised by members of Sebring Fire Department that Steed had refused medical treatment on scene and was signing against medical advice. After Steed was released from their care, I obtained a voluntary written statement from him and asked if he wanted to sign a domestic violence complaint against Taveras and assault charges against Yaggi. Steed had a change. of heart and signed a refusal for domestic violence but insisted he wanted to pursue charges against Yaggi. A key holder eventually arrived at 540 112 W Oregon Avenue and gave officers' permission to enter the residence in an attempt to locate Yaggi. Patrolman Scott located Yaggi laying on the floor in one of the first floor bedrooms. Patrolman Scott and Sergeant Davis asked Yaggi why she didn't come to the door when they first attempted to make contact to which she replied, "I was scared" (sic'). Patrolman Scott then advised Yaggi given the injuries sustained by Steed and corroborating witness statements, she was under arrest for assault and placed into handcuffs. I then escorted Yaggi from the residence and secured her in the back of marked unit #302. The item that resembled a "garden hoe as described by the victim and witnesses, was eventually located behind 545 W Ohio Ave and was discovered to actually be a plastic rake with a wooden handle. I then made contact with Taveras, who was still detained in the rear of #301 and began to ascertain her version of what happened. Taveras stated she discovered Steed had been messaging another female and confronted him about it. At one point, Taveras stated she threw a cellphone at Steed and struck him in the face and engaged in a mutual physical altercation which resulted in Steed placing his hands around her neck. This claim was supported by the marks I observed on her neck. Taveras stated Steed also attempted to strike her in the face several times and that she put her hands up in front of her face to block the strikes. Taveras stated she did not wish lo pursue domestic violence charges against Steed since he wasn't pursuing charges against her. I took photographs of Taveras' face and neck which were later uploaded to the case file at the Sebring Police Department. Patrolman Scott and I then made contact with Steed and to review his statement. According to Steed, Taveras saw messages on his phone from another female and began to punch and scratch him. Steed stated he pushed her to the ground and ran down the steps and stated as he did so, Yaggi arrived at the residence. Steed stated Taveras ran through the with a "garden hoe" (sic) and she and Yaggi hit him with it in the back of his left side of his neck, knocking him down the steps in the front yard. Steed admitted he was not facing Yaggi and Tavera when he was struck but was sure both of them struck him as he saw Taveras begin to swing and Yaggi grabbing it out of her hands. After observing both parties' injuries and given their statements that assault was mutual, Steed was placed under arrest for domestic violence and Taveras was advised she was also under arrest for the same charge. Steed and Taveras were advised of the Miranda Rights on scene prior to being transported back to the station. Steed was placed in the rear of marked Smith Township unit #34 and transported to the Sebring Police Department by Sergeant Davis. Taveras was transported from the scene in marked unit #301 by Patrolman Scott while I transported both Yaggi and the rake in marked unit #302. Upon arriving at the station, Yaggi and Taveras were placed in the squad room, handcuffs removed and immediately began processing. Steed was kept separated from both parties and placed in a separate office where he remained handcuffed. Yaggi was re-advised her Miranda Rights and I asked her if she was willing to waive them to provide a written statement to which she stated no. I then re-advised Taveras her Miranda Rights and asked her if she was willing to waive them to provide a written statement to which she stated yes. Taveras voluntarily signed a Miranda Rights waiver and began to provide a statement but then stopped. During processing, Yaggi made several utterances that she struck Steed in the back of the neck with the rake because of what he had done to Taveras. Yaggi also stated Steed choked Taveras out to the point where she lost conscious and began to punch and kick her; information that was not originally ascertained at any point by any party on scene. After Yaggi and Taveras were photographed, fingerprinted and processed, both parties posted cash bond through Sly Bail Bonds. Yaggi was released on a 10% cash bond af $1,250.00 and Taveras was released on a 10% cash bond of $2,500. Both parties signed their recognizance papetwork and advised of their mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, July 26, 2018 at 0900 for ORC 2903.13 Assault M-1 (Yaggi) and ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence M-1 (Taveras). Taveras was also provided a copy of a domestic violence victim information sheet. Following the release of Taveras and Yaggi accompanied by the third party who posted their bond, Steed was brought into the squad room to be processed, photographed and fingerprinted. Steed was released on a 10% cash bond of $2,500 through Sly Bail Bonds and advised of his mandatory appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, July 26,2018 at 0900 for ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence M-1 . Steed was provided his signed copy of his recognizance paperwork in addition to a copy of a domestic violence victim information sheet. Steed was released from the station accompanied by his half-sister. The rake was photographed, tagged and secured on station as evidence. Prior to their release, it was reiterated to Steed and Taveras the conditions of their bond and that they could not have any contact with one another.

Ohio Ave near N. Johnson Rd that led to the arrest of the adult driver for OVI. Ptl D. Marchionda #508 While patrolling west on W Ohio Ave in marked unit #304, a silver Dodge Durango in front of me stopped at the posted stop sign at N Johnson Rd and I observed that only one of the vehicle's brake lights was functional. After clearing the intersection, I initiated a traffic stop by activating my overhead emergency lights. The vehicle, bearing Ohio registration EMA9966, came to a complete stop on W. N Ohio Ave just west of N Johnson Rd. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as Dennis Snode, I identified myself and informed him of the reason of the stop. When I first approached the window, I observed Snode fumblimg through his wallet and then place it back into his rear left pocket. I also observed Snode was not wearing his safety belt. While speaking to Snode, I was able to smell a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath., Snode was accampanied by a male passenger, identified as John Rigdon, who was wearing his seat belt and advised me Snode was giving him a ride home. I requested Snodd to provide his drivers license and proof of insurance. Snode then procured his wallet from his rear pocket and had difficulty locating his driver's license before finally handing it to me with a valid copy of his insuranc. I asked Snode if he had his seatbelt on prior to being stopped and he stated he did not. I also'asked Snode if he had been drinking tonight after observing a black X on his right hand and in conjunction with the other clues I observed. Snode admitted to me he had a "couple of beers (sic) earlier. At this time, Patrolman Scott arrived on scene to assist. I informed Patrolman Scott both the driver and the passenger appeared to be intoxicated and that I was going to remove the driver to perform standardized field sobriety tests. Patrolman Scott and I asked Snode if he would be willing to submit to standardized field sobriety tests and he stated yes, he would. Patrolman Scott and I then instructed Snode to turn the ignition off and step out of the vehicle. Snode appeared to be confused by the instructions and struggled to turn the ignition off. Rigdon was advised to remain in the vehicle until further notice. After Snodes was final!y able to turn the ignition off and step out of the vehicle, I instructed him to walk back to and stand behind his vehicle. Patrolman Scott turned off the front of my vehicle's overhead emergency lights prior to the beginning of the field sobriety tests. After Snode walked back to the rear of his vehicle, he placed his right hand on the tailgate of the vehicle as it appeared he had difficulty standing and maintaining his balance. Prior to beginning the field sobriety tests I asked Snodes if he had any medical conditions or problems with his eyes. Snodes was wearing glasses at the time of the stop and I asked him if he needed to wear them to see. Snodes said his only medical condition was he was in the early stages of diabetes and that he required his glasses to see. I then instructed Snodes to stand with his feet together, hands down at his sides and to focus on the tip of a pen I held approximately 12-15 inches in front of his face while holding a flashlight above his head so I could see his eyes. I again asked Snodes if he needed the glasses to see the pen and he stated he did. Prior to conducting horizontal gaze nystagmus, I checked Snode for equal pupil size, resting nystagmus and equal tracking. I observed Snodes eyes to be glossy but not bloodshot. Before I moved the pen around in a figure eight motion to check for equal tracking, I instructed Snodes to follow the tip of the pen with his eyes and his eyes only and if he was able to, to reach out with his right index finger and touch the tip of the pen. Snode reached out and touched the tip of the pen with his right middle finger and stated to me while pointing at his right middle finger, "this is my index finger" and then pointed to his actual index finger and stated, "this is my regular finger" (sic). I instructed Snodes to go ahead and place his hands back down at his side and to follow the tip of the pen with his eyes and his eyes only and to not move his head. While checking for equal tracking, Snode continued to follow the pen while moving his head around. After checking for pre-test indicators, I attempted to check for horizontal gaze nystagmus. After several attempts to get Snode to stop moving his head, Patrolman Scott offered to assist and asked Snode if he needed to wear his glasses to perform the test. This time, Snode advised he did not and removed his glasses. While Patrolman Scott conducted horizontal gaze nystagmus, I stood by and watched Snode's eyes during the three phases of the teat. I observed nystagrnus in both of Snodets eyes during lack of smooth pursuit, distinct nystagrnus at maximum deviation for at least 4 seconds and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. Following horizontal gaze nystagmus, I took over the remainder of the standardized field sobriety tests. While providing and showing Snode instructions for the walk and turn. Snode had difficulty maintaining his balance and attempted to start the test several times before all of the instructions could be provided, At the conclusion of the instructional phase and after getting Snode to stand still, I asked if he understood the instructions to which he nodded and advised he could begin. while performing the walk and turn test Snode did not,touch heel to toe, performed an Improper turn and lost his balance. Following the walk and turn, I then provided and showed Snode the instructions for the one leg stand test. At the conclusion of the insiructions. I asked if he understood the instructions to which he stated he did and I advised him he could begin. Snode then raised his right foot as instructed and began to count out loud. Snode counted to '15' before losing his balance and placing his foot an the ground. After Snode stopped, he appeared frustrated and looked at me to which I advised him to raise his foot again and continue. Snode resumed and finished the test without placing his foot on the ground a second time. At the conclusion of the standardized field sobriety tests, I instructed Snode to turn around and place his hands behind his back as he was under arrest for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. I placed Snode in handcuffs, which were gapped and double locked, and then placed him in the backseat of marked unit #304. I then read Snode his Miranda Rights as witnessed by Patrolman Scott and asked Snode if he understood his rights to which he stated yes. Patrolman Scott then cleared the scene to handle a separate call. I then requested dispatch to send a tow truck to the scene. I made contact with Snode's passenger, Rigdon, and advised him Snode had been placed under arrest for OVI and if he could make some calls to get a ride. Rigdon asked if he was allowed to take the vehicle instead of getting it get towed, however, I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on Rigdon's breath and advised him he could not. Rigdon advised me he was able to get a hold of someone to come pick him up, but was unable to provide me with a time frame. Smith Township Sergeant Davis arrived on scene at this time to assist. I then performed an administrative inventory of the vehicle. Sergeant Davis then volunteered to remain with the vehicle until it was towed so I could transport Snodes back to the station to be processed. In addition to transporting Snodes, I also offered to provide Rigdon with a courtesy transport back to the Sebring Police Depadment where he could wait for his ride in the lobby. l then cleared the scene and transported Rigdon and Snodes back to the station. Upon my arrival at the station, Rigdon was instructed to go ahead and wait in the lobby. Patrolman Scott arrived at the station shortly thereafter and we escorted Snodes into the booking room to be processed. Snodes was read BMV Form 2255 and submitted to both a breath and urine test when asked. Snodes also signed BMV Form 2255 without incident after it was read to him and asked if he understood to which he stated he did. Patrolman Scott operated the lntoxilyzer 8000 for the breath test. The result of the breath test showed Snodes had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.080. Snodes was advised he was now under administrative license suspension for at least 90 days effective immediately and that his drivers license would be seized at this time. I advised Snodes that he could appeal the suspension during his initial appearamce in court. Following the breath test Snodes was able to provide a urine sample which was collected and sealed in a testing kit and Snodes was issued citation #031234 for Ohio Revised Code 4511.29A1A OVI - Officer observations, 4511.19A1D (less than .17 BAC) , 4513.263 Safety Belt.

I then explained the instructions of the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus which had to be repeated multiple times as Henry kept asking why we were wasting our time and if he was under arrest for OVI and saying "come on man don't do this I'm almost home" when I finished giving the instructions I asked Henry if he understood and began the test. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, onset prior to 45 degrees in both eyes, and Distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation. I then attempted to explain the next test to Henry the walk and turn at this point Henry became argumentative, disrespectful, belligerent, and uncooperative with officers, refusing to stand up straight, refusing to put his arms down at his side . Myself and Ptl. Marchionda attempted to calm Henry multiple times but he still continued to be uncooperative and began to argue more and yell at officers. I attempted to explain the test several times and Henry continued to be uncooperative and refusing to follow instructions. I then advised Henry since he will not cooperate he was under arrest for OVI and he was cuffed (gaped/locked) and placed in the back of my patrol car. I then called for a tow truck and asked Henry if he would submit to a breath test to which he said yes. I then asked Henry if he would submit to a urine test to which he replied " no fuck you, you said breath fuck your urine test, fuck you and at this point became extremely belligerent and said he refused all tests. Henry was calmed and asked again if he would submit to the tests to which he said sure I'll take all your tests, I then informed Henry he would be transported to the Alliance Police Department for a breath test to which he replied " no fuck you I'm not going to fucking Alliance, Fuck your test do it right fucking now or not at all" and then screamed multiple times do the test right now then screamed at a very high Volume I REFUSE ALL TESTS. Henry was then read Miranda by Ptl. Marchionda and transported to our station to be processed by me while Ptl. Marchionda waited for the vehicle to be towed. Upon arrival Henry was uncuffed and read the Ohio BMV 2255 form to which Henry argued and interrupted. By this point Ptl. Marchionda was now on station as well and myself and Ptl. Marchionda advised Henry we were required by law to read him this form to which he replied "fuck you I'm a felon I know what the charge reads, fuck your form, you just want to be an asshole". I finished reading Henry the form znd at this point Henry was still arguing and being belligerent and at one point said " I'm going to be violent". At that point Henry was then cuffed again for officer safety. While continuing to do paperwork Henry was constantly argumentative with officers and threatened myself and Ptl. Marchionda saying " get right check my rap sheet", "'I'll choke the life at of both you" " get your tasers, shotguns all of it fuck your charge" and at one point told Ptl. Matchionda " you better never let me see you out". Henry became increasingly more hostile and angry and was placed in leg irons which were gaped and locked as well. Henry also said multiple times he deserved a break because he stopped when he could easily outrun us on his 4 wheeler and now we just want to be assholes and charge him with OVI and next time he would just run from us. Henry was issued a citation for OVI 4511. I9 (A)(1)(a), driving under suspension 4510.11, and operation of vehicle on or near a highway, street, or road 4519.41. Henry was given a court date at MCC#3 of 06/21/18 at 0900hrs and advised he is required to appear in court. Henry was not permitted to sign his citation or the 2255 form because at this point he had expressed so many times a desire to harm officers we felt he would use a pen as a weapon against us. Henry did also say "fuck your form" and refused to sign anyway. Henry was transported to Mahoning county jail because he was believed to be a risk to the well being of others. Through out this encounter Henry was constantly belligerent, swore at officers constantly and threatened both of our lives. Charges of Aggravated menacing will be proposed to our prosecutor by Ptl. Marchionda as Henry continued to threaten Ptl. Marchionda while at the jail. Ptl. Brindack 507 Due to the combination of Cowart's extreme level of intoxication ascertained by our observations and being unable to follow instructions after multiple attempts, field sobriety testing ceased and he was placed into handcuffs behind his back, which were gapped and double locked. Cowart was advised he was under arrest for OVI and was asked if he would be willing to submit to a chemical breath test, to which he stated yes. But when he was asked to submit to b urine test, he cussed at Patrolman Brindack and refused. Cowart was placed into the back of marked unit #301 and I read him his Miranda Rights which was witnessed by Patrolman Brindack. I was forced to read Cowart his Miranda Rights several times due to him continuing to yell and interrupt me. After several attempts I asked Cowart if he understood his rights which he said he did. I asked if he wanted to waive his rights to which he provided me with a profanity laced response ending with "No." Cowart also recanted his earlier statement and advised he refused to submit to any chemical tests. A tow truck was then requested to the scene. Patrolman Brindack then transported Cowart back to the police station to be processed while I stood by at the scene while Springers took possession of the quadrunner. With the assistance of'the tow truck driver, I attempted to locate the quadrunner's VIN but was unable to due to the ATV being covered in a thick coating of mud and grass. Following the removal of the ATV from the roadway by Springers, I cleared the scene and proceeded to the station to assist Patrolman Brindack. Upon my arrival at the station, I found Patrolman Brindack in the squad room attempting to read BMV Form 2255 to Cowart, who was now uncuffed. Cowart continued to unleash a profanity laced rant towards Patrolman Brindack, making reading of the 2255 form next to impossible. Several times I attempted to calm Cowart down so that Patrolman Brindack could read ihe form to him. Patrolman Brindack was finally able to complete reading the form to Cowart but only after having to talk over Cowart's loud and disrespectful rant. At one point, Cowart asked for "my professional opinion" (sic) and asked if he "should have stopped or if he should have ran." Cowart proclaimed that next time, he "was just going to run" (sic). Cowart made several threatening comments towards to get "redneck" (sic) and "violent" (sic) with us. He made several references about him being a felon with weapon charges. After reasonably believing that Cowart was going to attempt to cause sericsus physical harm to both Patrolman Brindack and myself, I instructed him to stand up and place his hands behind his back. I then handcuffed Cowart (gapped and double locked) and instructed him to sit down and remain seated. We were originally going to release Cowart on his own recognizance but due to his degrading demeanor and behavior, it was decided with input from Chief Harris, to transport Cowart to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngtown. I then had Patrolman Brindack leave the room to complete the citation while I handled the documentation for the jail. While typing up the jail forms, Cowart threatened to "choke everyone out" (sic). It was conveyed to Cowart multiple times he was being transported to Youngstown because his increasingly dangerous behavior made him a substantial risk to public safety. We did not allow Cowart to sign the 2255 Form as we felt if we gave him a pen, that he may attempt to use it as a weapon against us given the comments made towards us and his overall behavior. Cowart was allowed to make a phone call to an associate known only as "Becky" so that he could be bonded out. I placed the call for Cowart and held the phone up to his head so he could speak. After he attempted to make arrangements with Becky on the phone to bond him out, I spoke with her directly and informed her Cowart would be transported to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown and that she could bond him out there. I advised her to call down there herself for instructions on how to go about bonding Cowart out. After completion of the phone call, Cowart continued to plead and begged multiple times to be released on bond from the station rather than at the jail in Youngstown. Cowart's behavior and overall demeanor kept changing from calm and cooperative to belligerent and uncooperative throughout the entire process; an observation I made even while on scene prior to coming to the station. Before being led to marked unit #304 for transport, Cowart was given his citation by Patrolman Brindack and placed in leg shackles. Again, fearing that Cowart may use a pen as a weapon against us, the citation was not signed. Cowart's copy of the 2255, citation and property were placed into an envelope to be taken to the jail with him. Cowart was then led outside and requested that his handcuffs being loosened as they were too tight. Although I had properly gapped, double locked the cuffs and was able to stick my thumb in between the cuffs and his wrists, I granted Cowart's request. After Patrolman Brindack loosened, gapped and double locked the shackles on his legs, I loosened the cuffs on Cowart's hands by tho clicks each, gapping by placing my thumb in between his wrist and the cuff and double locking them again. Cowart was then placed into the back of unit #304 and safety belt fastened to keep him secure. While en route to the Mahoning County Justice Center, Cowart's demeanor continued to change back and forth from calm to belligerent and complained about his handcuffs. Cowart made several degrading utterances regarding Patrolman Brindack and myself, at one point labeling both of us as "faggot cops" (sic). Cowart also stated that I was "doing him dirty" (sic) by having him in leg shackles and "tight cuffs for just an OVI" (sic). Cowart bragged several times about being a criminal and a felon during transport. Upon finally reaching the Mahoning County Justice Center, Cowart immediately resumed his rant in front of the deputies regarding the entire incident. One of the supervisors requested that I move to a different area within intake as just the sight of me was causing Cowart to act up. Cowart made several utterances to the deputies about how he was "riding not driving his ATV and when the officer turned his lights on behind him, he stopped and got off' (sic). After Cowart was processed and placed into a holding room, Cowart shouted that when he got out of jail, I'd better watch out because "he was going to come find me" (sic). I advised the deputies that aggravated menacing charges would be filed at a later time at which point I was told if needed, statements could be retrieved from the deputies working who heard Cowart's threats. Cowart was left in the custody of the Mahoning County Justice Center for ORC 4511.19A1A OVI M-1 pending bond or until his mandatory court appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 0900. After arriving back in the village, I typed up a state complaint for aggravated menacing regarding the threats made by Coward toward Patrolman Brindack and I. While on station, I was advised by dispatch that the manager from Springer Towing & Repair was at the shop and waiting for me to come down to retrieve the VIN from the quadrunner. After cleaning the mud from the undercarriage away, we were able to retrieve the VIN, 5SAAK46K057114354. Report forwarded for administrative review regarding the additional charge of ORC 2903.21 Aggravated Menacing M-1. Ptl. D.

I relayed the vehicle information to dispatch and advised I would be performing a traffic sto following the trains passing. As the train cleared and the vehicle proceeded south on S 12th , I could hear the exhaust emitting excessive noise as it passed Baugh Ave. I then initiated a traffic stop by activating my overheard emergency lights just as the vehicle passed Heritage Oaks. The vehicle came to a complete stop just shy of the 500 block of S 12th St. Upon making contact with the driver, identified as Collan Craig, I identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop. While speaking with Craig, I observed he was not wearing his seat belt and asked if he had it on prior to being stopped. Craig stated to me he was not wearing his seatbelt and tried to justify not wearing it because he was only driving home from Circle K. I then asked Craig for his driver's license, registration and proof of insurance. Craig was able to provide all of the aforementioned documentation. Craig was issued citation #031228 for Village Ordinance 337.27 Safety Belt: Failure to Wear (Driver) and given a verbal warning for the loud exhaust.

Johnson Rd. and I observed a vehicle traveling south on the same road that appeared to be traveling at a speed higher than 46mph while in a 35mph zone. I then locked the speed and pulled into the Smith Twp. Police Department which was when the vehicle passed me. I then pulled back onto the road and positioned myself behind the vehicle and and initiated a traffic stop in the 800 block of N. Johnson Rd. The vehicle was a 2005 silver Toyota pickup truck bearing an Ohio license plate (HDR9872). I then exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle and introduced myself and informed the driver of the reason for the stop. The driver then began crying and stated that his father had just passed away and he just found out while he was traveling home. I could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle and while talking to the driver I observed the driver's eyes which were watery and bloodshot. I also observed a case of Corona beers on the passenger floorboard. I then asked the driver for their license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I received and the driver was identified as Bryan Roberts. I then asked Bryan if had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which Bryan stated yes and that he had consumed two Corona beers. Bryan then stated that he will perform sobriety testing in which I asked Bryan if he would consent and he stated that he would. I then turned my front over head lights and asked Bryan to exit the vehicle. I then asked Bryan if he had any medical or physical conditions that would inhibit him from taking the tests in which he stated that he had no medical or physical conditions. I then instructed Bryan to stand straight up with his feet together and hands to his side while I checked for equal pupil size, equal tracking, and resting nystagmus. Bryan's pupils were of equal size, both of Bryan's eyes tracked equally, and Bryan did not have a resting nystagmus. I then explained the instructions for the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and once I finished the instructions I asked Bryan if he understood and Bryan stated that he did understand.

While on a business check at Circle K, 205 E Ohio Ave, I observed a blue Chevrolet Cavalier bearing Ohio registration GSD8639 sitting in the parking lot with one male at the wheel and a passenger entering the business. I then performed a random registration check of the vehicle through dispatch. Dispatch advised the registered owner, John D. Dunlap II, had a license status of failure to reinstate and had an active warrant for dangerous drugs out of Stark County Sheriffs Office. Dispatch advised the warrant stated Dunlap had violent tendencies. I then requested a description of Dunlap and asked if he had tattoos on his arms as the male behind the wheel had tattoos on his left arm and left forearm. Dispatch confirmed Dunlap did in fact have tattoos as observed. I then departed from Circle K and parked in the parking lot of Gionino's while maintaining a visual on the blue cavalier. Patrolman Scott pulled into the parking lot of Huntington Bank down the street. After observing the blue cavalier depart from Circle K and head south onto N 14th St towards E Oregon Ave, Patrolman Scott and I pulled out from our respected locations and proceeded to follow the vehicle. After placing myself behind the cavalier, I activated my overheard emergency lights just as the blue cavalier turned west onto E Oregon Ave. After coming to a complete stop, I exited marked unit #301, unholstered my duty weapon and ordered the driver to turn the vehicle off and to place his hands outside the window. I then ordered the driver out of the car with his hands in the air, his back facing me and to back up to the sound of my voice. Patrolman Scott maintained control of the passenger during this time. Once the driver backed up to the front unit #301, he was ordered to his knees and his hands behind his back. Patrolman Scott then moved forward and placed the driver in handcuffs. I then shifted control over to the passenger, whom I ordered to place his hands on the dashboard where I could see them and to not move. I then overheard Patrolman Scott speaking with and confirming the driver's name as John D. Dunlap. Dunlap was advised he was under arrest for a warrant out of Stark County. Dunlap was subsequently searched and placed into the back of marked unit #303. The passenger, later identified as Virgil Bugara, was ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint. Bugara was then patted down for weapons. Bugara's information was relayed to dispatch by Patrolman Scott and was advised Bugara had no active warrants and had a driver license status of failure to reinstate. After confirming Bugara had no weapons or contraband in his possession, he was released from the scene. At this time, Smith Township Sgt. Davis arrived on scene to assist. Dispatch advised Stark County Sheriff's Office was sending a deputy to our station to take custody of Dunlap. I notified dispatch to contact Springer's Towing & Repair to send a tow truck to the scene. An administrative inventory was performed by Patrolman Scott and I prior to the tow truck's arrival. No contraband or weapons were discovered during the course of the administrative inventory. Just as Springers arrived on scene to take possession of the vehicle, Sgt. Davis cleared the scene. At this time, dispatch advised Patrolman Scott there was one call pending on E Indiana Ave that required an immediate response. I then took Dunlap out of marked unit #303 and placed him into the back of marked unit #301 so that Patrolman Scott could take the call. After the vehicle was towed from the scene, I transported Dunlap back to the station for processing. After arriving at the station, Dunlap was photographed and processed. Dunlap was issued citation #031226 for Ohio Revised Code 4510.21 Failure to Reinstate and advised of his mandatory court appearance before Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 0900.

Scott made a traffic stop which resulted in the arrest of a female for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a drug of abuse. Ptl. Scott #506 06/07/2018 I Ptl. Scott was stationary at the intersection of W. Ohio Ave. and N. Johnson Rd. when I observed a vehicle traveling east on W. Ohio Ave. that had a license plate light illuminating a green color. I then pulled out onto the road and positioned myself behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop on W. Ohio Ave. near N. 19th St. The vehicle was a black 2004 Chevrolet station wagon bearing an Ohio license plate (GTM7573. I then exited my cruiser and approached the vehicle and met with the driver and identified myself and requested their driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I did receive all documents but the proof of insurance was expired. I was able to identify the driver as Melissa Laughlin. Melissa displayed odd behavior by acting very excited and Melissa was extremely talkative and at times appeared to be nervous. Melissa was also fidgeting while speaking and would talk about random events not related to the traffic stop. When talking to Melissa while she was in her vehicle her pupils were extremely dilated. I even shined light near her eyes and her pupils remained dilated and shown little to no reaction to light. I asked Melissa if she had consumed any type of drug or prescribed medication prior to driving in which she stated that she did not. I then had Melissa exit her vehicle and I had turned my cruisers overhead lights off and asked if Melissa would perform field sobriety testing in which she agreed to perform. I asked Melissa if she has ,any medical or physical conditions that would inhibit her from taking the tests in which Melissa stated that she did not. I then asked'Melissa if she had taken any medication prior to driving in which Melissa stated that she did not. I then had her stand straight up with her feet together and her hands to her side. I checked Melissa's eyes for equal tracking, equal pupil size, and a resting nystagmus. Melissa's eyes tracked equally, Melissa's pupils were of equal size, and Melissa did not have a resting nystagmus. Melissa's pupils were still dilated and showed very little reaction to light. I then began to explain the instruction for the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. When I finished explaining the instructions I asked Melissa if she understood in Which Melissa stated yes. I did not observe any clues throughout all three tests but Melissa did appear to be under the influence of an unknown substance so the tests did continue. The next test was the walk and turn and I have Melissa instructions to stand up straight with her hands to her side and her right foot in front of her left foot and gave Melissa instructions not to move or start until I told her to. Once I explained the instructions I asked Melissa if she understood and Melissa stated that she did. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Melissa made an improper turn, Melissa moved while instructions were being given to her, Melissa stopped walking once she started the test, and Melissa had a hard time keeping her balance. Melissa started to complain about pain in her back and I asked her what was hurtng and Melissa stated that she has two discs in her back and they were in pain from lifting heavy objects while at work. I asked Melissa prior to the tests if ad any medical of physical conditions , and Melissa stated that she did not have any medical or physical conditions. The next test was the one leg stand and I had Melissa stand straight up with her hands to her side and feet together while I explained the instructions to her and ordered her not to move or start until I told her to. Once the instructions were explained I told Melissa not to put her foot down or stop and I asked Melissa if she understood in which Melissa stated that she did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: Melissa had difficulty balancing, and Melissa put her foot down 3 times which ended the test. Melissa started to complain about the pain in her back as soon as I ended the test so I told her to sit on the front bumper of my cruiser. I then began a test called the lack of convergence and explained instructions for the test and asked if Melissa understood the instructions in which Melissa stated that she did. Once the test began I observed the following observations: Melissa had lack of convergence in her left eye. The next and last test was the modified romberg test and I had Melissa stand straight up with her feet together and her hands to her side while I gave her the instructions. Melissa was instructed to tilt her head back from that position and close her eyes andcount to 30 in her head and when finished to put her head back down and open her eyes and say stop. I asked Melissa if she understood the instructions in which Melissa stated that she did. Once the test began I had Ptl. Marchionda time it with a stopwatch and when Melissa finished Ptl. Marchionda stopped the stop watch. Melissa counted to 30 in her head which took 22 seconds in real time. The last two tests did not display clues but did display observations that had key indicators of Melissa being under the influence of a drug of abuse. Based on my experience and training I placed Melissa under arrest for operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drug of abuse and read Melissa her rights at 12:59am and placed Melissa in hand restraints which were gabbed and double locked and I placed Melissa in the rear of marked unit #304. An inventory of the vehicle was performed by Ptl. Marchionda and myself to gather essentials that Melissa wanted and I transported Melissa back to station while Ptl. Marchionda stood by while the vehicle was towed to Springer's. Once back at station Melissa was read the BMV 2255 form and was asked if she would submit to chemical testing in which Melissa refused and signed the BMV 2255 form. Melissa was then processed, photographed, and fingerprinted. I wrote Melissa a traffic citation for Tail lights and illumination of rear license plate ORC 4513.05A and for OVI (SFST) 451 1.19(A)(l) (a). I gave Melissa a court date for 06/07/2018 at 9:00am with a personal appearance required due to the initial appearance having to be within 5 days of the arrest. Melissa signed the citation and I then gave Melissa a recognizance bond of $500 for the OVI offense in which she signed. Melissa was given copies of the BMV 2255 form, her citation which has her court date on it, and her recognizance form which also has her court date on it. Melissa was informed that she is now under administrative license suspension and was unable to legally operate a motor vehicle. Melissa was released and is scheduled to appear on June 7th 2018 at 9:00am in Mahoning County Court #3.

While Ptl.Marchionda attempted to handcuff Dawn she was very difficult with him saying "don't threaten me Ihave money" and pulling her arms away from him. I asked Dawn why she allegedly smashed her daughters phone to which she replied 14 year olds don't listen and then changed the story to her daughter broke the phone and she just took it from her. Melissa filled out a voluntary statement but from her statement which said Dawn told her she would slap her and Melissa said i'll slap you back it was determined the "threatening" and "fight" was actually a mutual argument. However all four officers on scene observed that Dawn was highly intoxicated and we could all smell the alcohol on her. I advised Dawn that she was under arrest for Disorderly conduct "public intoxication" and she was mirandized. Dawn was transported to our station in unit 303 and was processed by myself and Ptl. Redfern while being processed Dawn was still obviously intoxicated and at one point seemingly unprovoked informed us that "those Goshen guys are dicks" referring to the officers at the Goshen Police District. Dawn also repeatedly informed officers that she used to work at the prison, however she was very cooperative while being processed. I asked Dawn where she had been drinking tonight and she replied at home. I then asked well how did you get to the festival without driving to which she then changed her story again and said "i drank at the festival". (NOTE: the festival does not serve alcohol). Dawn was given an OR bond and was released to a friend after being processed. Ptl. Brindack 508 06/02/18 Cn 6/1/2018 1 responded on foot from the festival to Ptl. Brindack as requested to assist with a dispute. Upon arrival observed Ptl. Brindack standing next to his cruiser with a female late identified as Dawn Fender. I spoke with Dawn and she stated that she was attempting to find her daughter and had a verbal confrontation with her daughter's friend and the mother of her daughter's friend. I then spoke with the other party and they stated Dawn had come to their residence while intoxicated and started to argue with them and their family members for unknown reasons. Officers came in contact with Dawns daughter earlier in reference to Dawn being intoxicated and breaking her daughter's phone. Dawn's daughter stated that her mother attempted to leave with her and she refused to go with her mother due to her intoxication. Dawn did appear to be intoxicated and had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person. Dawn was argumentative towards officers and was subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct while intoxicated and placed into hand restraints by Ptl. Marchionda and placed into the rear of Ptl. Brindack's cruiser and transported back to station. Once Ptl. Brindack cleared Ptl. Marchionda and I resumed duties at the festival. Ptl. Scott #506 On 6-1-2018 while at the firemans festival I was approached by two juveniles whom were crying stating that their mother is heavily intoxicated. The juveniles state their mother took their phones and smashed them on the ground due to a fit of rage due to the intoxication. The children advised that their mother was Dawn Fender of Goshen Twp. The juveniles advised that they wanted to go to the fathers due to their mother being too intoxicated to drive them home. I advised the juveniles that I would provide them with a transport to their fathers house. The juveniles were able to use a friends phone to call their father who advised that he would come to pick them up. Moments later Ptl. Brindack advised on the radio that he was being flagged down in the area of North 14th Street near East Maryland Avenue for a possible fight, and requested units to respond. I arrived on location and Ptl. Brindack, Ptl. Marchonda, and Ptl. Scott were already on scene. There was a female whom was standing on the corner yelling obscenities and I advised her that she needed to remain calm. As the cover officer I did not interview any involved parties, I stood by and observed. The female whom I told needed to calm down was clearly intoxicated, and still continued to carry on despite being told to calm down. It was later found that the female was the mother of the to juveniles that I was going to give a ride to. The female was advised once more by the other on scene officers that she needed to calm down before she was detained in the rear of the cruiser. Subsequently the female was placed under arrest for Disorderly Conduct While Intoxicated Persist. Redfern 504 On Friday, June 1, 2018, I, Patrolman Marchionda, was on foot patrol at the Fireman's Festival when I heard a broadcast from Patrolman Brindack over the radio for assistance reference a fight at the corner of N 14th St and E Maryland Avenue. While responding, I observed Patrolman Scott responding as well. Patrolman Redfern arrived on scene shortly after. Upon my arrival, I observed a white female standing near marked unit #303. The female, identified as Dawn Fender, appeared to be intoxicated as I was able to smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath and her belligerent behavior. While speaking to Fender to ascertain what happened prior to my arrival, she stated to me she had gotten into an altercation with individuals who she stated she did not know. Fender made speaking to her difficult as she became argumentative and continued to be belligerent by being loud and swearing. Fender was told several times to calm down and to refrain from acting the way she was. As a result of Fender refusing to calm down and refrain from acting disorderly, I was instructed to detain her for disorderly conduct. I had to give Fender several commands to turn around and place her hands behind her back. Fender did turn around but instead put her hands on the hood of #303 and continued to yell and swear at officers. After failing to obey my commands to put her hands behind her back, I grabbed ahold of her hands and placed them behind her back and then handcuffed her (gapped and double locked). Fender made comments towards myself and the other officers on scene such as, "don't threaten me" (sic) and "you can't do this, I have money" (sic). After Fender was detained for disorderly conduct while intoxicated and persistence, she was placed into the back of marked unit #303 and subsequently advised by Patrolman Brindack that she was under arrest.

Ptl. D. Marchionda #513 While patrolling north on S 12th St in marked unit #301 with my fonvard mounted radar antenna activated, I observed a digital read out of 74 MPH in a posted 35 MPH zane from a vehicle traveling towards me. After the vehicle passed me, I activated my overheard emergency lights, audible siren, and performed a U-turn and attempted to stop the vehicle. While attempting to stop the vehicle, Patrolman Scott radioed to me and advised the vehicle just passed another in a no passing zone at which point I advised Patrolman Scott of the vehicle's speed and that I was attempting to stop the vehicle. I observed the vehicle then pull into the front yard of 1935 S 12th Street next to another vehice parked in the yard. Upon finally pulling.up to and behind the vehicle, a silver Chevrolet Silverado bearing Ohio registration HCG3461, I advised dispatch the vehicle was no 1onger.occupied as 1 was unable to see anyone inside. Upon exiting my patrol car, I was able to confirm that occupant(s) of the vehicle had fled. Patrolman Scott arrived on scene at this time to assist at which point I requested the assistance of Smith Township Patrolman Caughey. Patrolman Scott. Caughey and I then searched the area for the driver, believed to be Jordan Smith as advised by dispatch. Dispatch also advised that Smith may be wearing a short sleeved red shirt after a citizen phoned the station with information regarding the driver of the vehicle. Dispatch also advised the driver was 6' 5" and 250lbs with brown hair. Ohio State Patrol Trooper Baker atso arrived on the scene to assist in the search for Smith. After being unable to locate the driver, I advised dispatch to send a tow truck to the scene to remove the vehicle from the yard. While getting ready to perform an administrative inventory of the vehicle, I observed Patrolman Scott with his weapon drawn shouting at someone laying down on the north side of the residence. After unholstering my duty weapon and approaching where Patrolman Scott was, a tall white male wearing a red short sleeve shirt emerged from the tall grass with his hands up. The subject was ordered to the ground at gunpoint, proned out and handcuffed. The subject, later identified as Jordan Smith, had a cast on his right arm which prevented us from being able to properly handcuff him. I then advised Patrolman Scott to handcuff his left arm to one of the rear belt loops, While interacting with Smith a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected on his breath and it was also observed Smith had red glossy eyes and difficulty maintaining his balance. Smith was subsequently placed into the back of marked unit #301. When asked by Patrolman Scott if he would submit to field sobriety tests, Smith refused and subsequently refused to a breath test. When asked why he did not want to submit to tests, Smith stated to us because he knew he wouldn't pass them. While placing Smith into the back of #301, he stated to officers he didn't stop because he didn't want to talk to us and that he pulled into the yard of the residence because he wanted to visit his friend that resided there, After Smith was placed into the back of #301, I advised he was under arrest for OVI - Officer Observations, Obstruction and failure to comply and subsequently read him his Miranda Rights. During the course of the administrative inventory prior to the truck being towed, Patrolman Scott located a pipe that was bagged, confiscated and later logged into evidence on station. Springer Tawing & Repair arrived and towed the vehicle from the scene. Smith was then transported back to the station to be processed. Upon arriving at the station, Smith was photographed and processed. I read BMV Form 2255 to Smith and again asked if he wished to submit to a breath test, which he refused. After reading the form to Smith, he provided his signature and was given his copy. Smith was issued citation #031123 for ORC 4511.21 Speed - Over Limits (74135)- 4511.19A3A OVI and 4511.31 No Passing Zone. Smith's Ohio Driver's License was confiscated as a result of his refusal. Throughout the entire interaction with Smith, from the time on scene to the time on station, he was very irate, angry, and continued to berate and swear at officers for arresting him. Smith was transported to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown and is set to appear in Mahoning County Court #3 on Thursday, June 7,2018 at 0900 for ORC 4511.19A1A OVI M-1 , 2921.31 Obstructing Official Business M-2 and 2921.331 Failure to Comply M-1 with a bail set at $2,700.

Marchionda briefed me of the situation and both officers including Smith Twp. Ptl. Caughey searched the area for the driver which was believed to be Jordan Smith. A description was given to officers from dispatched including what Smith was wearing which was received from a resident who called the station. OSHP Trooper Baker was on a traffic stop near the incident and asked if we needed assistance in searching for Smith in which I requested for him to do so. I then told Ptl. Caughey to search east on St. Rt 62. I stayed on scene and walked towards the north side of the residence where I could hear a dog barking and I searched the area once more and observed a male matching the description laying in tall grass next to the house. I un holstered and drew my duty weapon on the individual and ordered him to come out of the grass with his hands above his head. The individual did so and came out from the grass and I ordered him to lay face down on the ground in which he did. Ptl. Marchionda drew his weapon once he arrived to where I was at while I placed the individual in hand restraints and placed the individual into marked unit #301. The male was identified as Jordan Smith and Jordan did admit to driving and not pulling over due to him not wanting to talk to police. Jordan also stated the he was next to the house to visit the home owner. The home owner did know the individual but was not expecting him. The home owner was asleep and had to be woken up to inform him of the incident. Officers then performed an inventory of the vehicle and upon the inventory I recovered a pipe and confiscated it which was placed into evidence locker #2 after it was photographed and tagged. While on scene Jordan appeared to be intoxicated. Jordan had trouble balancing, had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person, and had red glassy eyes. I asked Jordan if he would consent to field sobriety testing in which he refused and stated that he would fail the tests if he attempted to preform them. Jordan was placed under arrest for OVI refusal, failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, and obstruction of official business and had his rights read to him by Ptl. Marchionda which I witnessed. The vehicle was towed to Springer's Towing and Jordan transported back to the station. While back at station Jordan was swearing and being verbally argumentative towards officers. Jordan was processed and photographed but not fingerprinted due to his right arm being in a cast. I then informed Jordan that he was being transported to the Mahoning County Jail due to his actions and being a flight risk. Jordan became even more difficult. Ptl. Marchionda then transported Jordan to the jail which accepted Jordan and Jordan is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Court #3 at 9:OOam for the listed charges. Ptl.

Once the vehicle made a complete stop I then exited my'b&lcle and approached the stopped vehicle and met with the driver which was identified as William Smith I noticed a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle but at the same time it was masked by the odor of a pizza that was on the seat next to him. I informed William of the reason I had stopped him and requested his license, registration, and proof of insurance in which I only received his driver's license. Upon talking to William I noticed that his eyes were glossy and he had a slight mumbled speech. William was not wearing his seat belt and I asked him why and William stated that he did have it on earlier and I asked him when that was and William replied before I went to the bar. I asked William what bar he was at and William stated the Brick House in Sebring. I asked William if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which William replied "Oh yea". I asked William how many beverage:; he had consumed in which he stated 5 but he was not counting. William stated that he arrived at the bar around 9:OOpm and started to consume alcoholic beverages. William stated that he did not eat anything while at the bar and when I asked him what time his last drink was William stated 30 minutes ago. I then asked William if he had any medical or physical conditions whatsoever in which he stated that he was diabetic but he was fine. I then asked William if he would consent to standardized field sobriety testing in which he did consent. I then asked William to exit the vehicle and stand to the rear of his vehicle. When William exited he could not find his wallet and had trouble locating it and I found it in between the driver side door and his seat. William dropped it due to him fumbling around in the vehicle. While William was at the rear of his vehicle I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. I then turned my front over head lights off so they would not interfere with Williams vision. I asked William if he had contacts or wears glasses in which William stated that he wears reading glasses. I then had William stand straight up with his feet together and hands to his side while I checked far equal pupil size, equal tracking, and a resting nystagmus. William's pupils were of equal size, both eyes tracked equally, and William did not have a resting nystagmus. I then gave the instructions for the first test. The first test was the horizontal gaze nystagmus test and once I explained the instructions I asked William if he understood in which William stated that he did understand. Once the test began I observed the following clues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct nystagmus and maximum deviation, and angle of onset prior to 45 degrees. William moved his head several times and at several points he would stop looking at the stimulus and I had to tell him io keep focus on the stimulus. The next test was the walk and turn and I had William stand in the starting position and told him to listen to the instructions and not to moved from that position or start until I told him to. While explaining the instructions William interrupted me and stated that he can not perform the test due to a medical condition with a equilibrium condition. William stated and assured me that the only medical condition he had was him being a diabetic prior to having him exiting his vehicle. I then asked William if he was refusing to perform the test in which he stated that he was refusing. I then asked William if he would perform the next test in which he stated that he would. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed William to stand straight with his hands to his side and not to move from this position or start until I instructed him to do so. I then gave a demonstration and once I finished I asked William if he understood in which William stated that he did. The test began and William put his leg down and refused to finish the test. I then placed William under arrest for suspicion of OVI and placed William in hand restraints and placed William in the rear on my cruiser. I then called for tow truck for William's vehicle. Ptl. D.

I asked William if he would consent to chemical testing in which he refused. I then advised William that he is now under administrative license suspension, he is being placed out of service for 24 hours and that he was not to operate a commercial vehicle not less than one year.

Ptl. D. Marchionda #513 Upon my arrival in the rear of the establishment off of E Ohio Avenue, two unidentified males advised me one of the persons involved in the fight had just fled down the alley towards N 15th Street I proceeded through the alley onto N 15th Street and observed a white male in a black leather jacket and a white male in a grey t- shirt walking towards W Oregon Avenue. I pulled up behind both males and shouted for both men to stop. The male in the black leather jacket, later identified as Marc Fonner, stopped and placed his hands in the air. The male in the grey t-shirt, later identified as Virgil Bugara Jr., also stopped. At this time, Patrolman Scott arrived on foot from E Oregon Avenue: Both men were detained (handcuffed behind their back; gapped/double locked) until it could be established who was involved in the fight. It was reiterated to both parties they were being detained pending identification of the party involved. I placed Fonner in the back of marked unit #303 and drove to where Patrolman Scott was parked as he placed Bugara in the back of marked unit #301. Patrolman Scott learned from witnesses and the victim, Bill Galchick, that Bugara was the man who assaulted him. After learning Fonner had no involvement in the matter, I released and advised him he was free to go. Galchick was able to provide a written statement regarding the fight between him and Bugara. According to Galchick, while Patrolman Scott and I were in Schmid's on an unrelated call earlier that night, he overheard Bugara screaming andswearing about the police being inside the bar. Galchick stated he confronted Bugara and told him to be quiet. Galchick advised me Bugara swung on him in an attempt to hit him at which point he pushed Bugara. Galchick stated Virgil left the bar and returned a short time later and hit him from behind. Galchick also stated that Bugara bit the left side of his face. Photos were taken of Galchick's face and downloaded at the station. Galchick's wife, Natalie, a bartender at the bar stated to me she wanted a notice of restriction placed against Bugara and did not want him to be allowed to come back to Schmid's. I later advised Bugara at the station while he was being processed that he was not allowed to return to Schmid's in the future and that doing so would result in him being arrested for criminal trespass. Ptl. D. Marchionda #513 I Ptl. Scott responded to the Schmid's Bar in reference to a report of a fight taking place. Upon my arrival I observed two males later identified as Virgil Bugara Jr. and Marc Fonner walking in the middle of N. 15th St. heading east towards the alley between Ohio Ave. and Oregon Ave. Ptl. D. Mafchionda then arrived and pulled his cruiser next to both males and exited his vehicle and ordered both males to stop and both males stopped and placed their hands in the air. Dispatch advised both officers that the offender was walking in the alley between Ohio Ave. and Oregon Ave. and both individuals where detained and restrained. Marc was placed in Marchionda's cruiser and Virgil was placed in my cruiser. I then entered the Schmid's Bar and talked to the victim identified as Bill Galchick and Bill stated that when officers were at the bar earlier on a different call Virgil had yelled obscenities towards officers. When officers left the bar Bill told Virgil to stop when Virgil attempted to strike Bill but was unsuccessful and Bill pushed Virgil away and then Virgil left. Bill stated that Virgil returned and struck Bill in the back of the head. Bill then wrestled Virgil to the ground where Virgil bit Bill on the left side of his face. Bill had large marks on the left side of his face. Bill then gave Ptl. Marchionda a written statement and told me that Marc Fonner was not involved and stated that he did want to pursue criminal charges against Virgil. I then told Ptl. Marchionda to release Marc Fonner and I returned to my cruiser and opened the door to speak with Virgil and informed him that he was being placed under arrest for assault and read him his miranda rights. I then transported Virgil back to station and Virgil underwent processing and was fingerprinted and photographed. Virgil was given an opportunity to post bond in the amount of $1,250.00. Virgil then called Sly Bail Bonds and talked to the bondsman. Christopher Hankovitch with Sly Bail Bonds soon arrived and processed the bond for Virgil and gave me the power of attorney which I made a copy of. Once the bond was processed Virgil signed the recognizance form which had his court date on it and was released to his aunt.

Upon my arrival, I made contact with several individuals who were witness to the fight. The first witness I made contact with was Joshua Hill. Hill advised me his friend Kahliel had been involved in a physical altercation with another male, later identified as Jerian Thomas. Hill stated this altercation moved from inside the establishment, to the parking lot and eventually onto the street. Hill stated he observed Kahliel "defending himself' (sic). Hill later provided a voluntary written statement. After speaking with Hill, a bystander identified as Jordan Smith, came forward to provide his account of what happened. Smith stated to me that Kahliel and Thomas were involved in a mutual fight when the victim, Rine, attempted to intervene and was struck by Kahliel. Smith refused to provide a written statement as he did not want to get involved in the matter any further. After speaking with Smith and Hill, Patrolman Scott motioned me to take Kahliel, who had been detained (handcuffed behind his back; gapped/double locked), and place him in the rear of marked unit 303. After placing Kahliel in the back of my cruiser, I made contact with Thomas. Thomas advised me Kahliel and another male attempted to confront him outside of the bar when several girls tried to hold them back. Thomas stated to me he defended himself and that his friend got punched in the face when he attempted to intervene. I then observed Patrolman Scott advise Kahliel he was under arrest for assaulting Rine and witnessed his Miranda Rights read to him. Photographs were taken of Rine's injuries at the scene, a minor laceration to his face (to which he denied medical attention for) and later downloaded at the station. After collecting statements from the witnesses at the scene, Patrolman Scott and I cleared the scene without further incident. I transported Kahliel back to the station for further processing. Photographs were taken of Kahliel's injuries, a small laceration above his left eye and scratches to his neck (to which he denied medical attention for) and later downloaded. Ptl. D. Marchionda #513 Upon arrival I Ptl. Scott observed a large crowd of individuals in the rear parking lot of the Brick House Bar. I parked my cruiser on N. 14th St. next to the bar and exited my vehicle and met with two female witnesses identified as Makayla Swindell and Leona Weatherspoon who stated that they attempted to break up a fight between two males later identified as Kahliel Fletcher and Jerian Thomas and while doing so Leona was struck in the face by Kahliel. Maykayla and Leona stated that Kahliel seen Jerian inside the bar and then Makayla and Jerian left the bar in attempt to leave and once they where in the parking lot Kahliel along with a male identified as Joshua Hill ran to the parking lot to attempt to fight Jerian and chased him to the road and then Leona attempted to hold Kahliel back when Kahliel allegedly pushed Leona to the ground. Kahliel then pursued Jerian once more and Jerian swung at Kahliel to defend himself and Leona attempted to stop Kahliel once more when she stated that Kahliel allegedly pushed her to the ground again and punched her in the face which damaged her glasses which I did see damage to her glasses. Makayla and Leona stated that when Leona was allegedly struck in the face her friend later identified as Nickolas Rine confronted Kahliel and Kahliel allegedly punched Nickolas in the face. I then obtained written statements from both females. I then gathered further information from Makayla and Leona and learned that Kahliel was with Joshua Hill when the incident took place and I then entered the bar and spoke with Joshua and walked him outside. At this time I had Joshua talk with Ptl. Marchionda while i re-entered the bar in search of Kahliel. Ptl. Marchionda obtained a written statement from Joshua and he was listed as an additional witness to the incident. Once in the bar I over heard a patron of the bar say that Kahliel was in the kitchen. I then entered the Kitchen and observed a male standing next to the grill with no shirt on with a minor laceration above his left eye with blood near the laceration. I was able to positively identify the male as Kahliel Fletcher and, walked him outside where I gained a verbal statement from him. Kahliel stated that he and Jerian had an incident in the past and when they seen each other at the bar a confrontation erupted inside the bar which then led to the rear parking lot and ended on N. 14th St. next to the bar. Kahliel stated that he did not hit Leona and stated that while he was attempting to fight Jerian both Makayla and Leona grabbed his shirt to stop him and Kahliel tore his shirt off and suffered minor scratches on the back of his neck. I then detained Kahliel and placed him in hand restraints and placed him in the rear of Ptl. Marchionda's cruiser while I and Ptl. Marchionda investigated the scene and gained statements. An additional witness identified as Nickolas Rine confronted me and stated that he witnessed Kahliel strike Leona and confronted Kahliel and stated that Kahliel punched him in the face which Makayla and Leona confirmed his story when I spoke to them about it. Nickolas had a laceration beneath his right eye which had dry blood around it. Joshua Hill's statement stated that Kahliel was beaten by Jerian and Jerian's father some time in the past which was why Kahliel wanted to fight Jerian. Ptl. Marchionda spoke with Jerian Thomas and gained a written statement which matched the statements of Makayla and Leona. I then viewed the statement of Nickolas which matched the statements of Makayla, Jerian, and Leona. Nickolas's statement consisted of him confronting Kahliel and being assaulted and matched Makayla's, Leona's and Jerian's statements. Leona was asked if she wanted to pursue criminal charges which she denied. Then Nickolas was asked if he wanted to pursue criminal charges in which Nickolas stated that he wanted Kahliel to be charged. I then opened the door of Ptl. Marchionda's cruiser and notified Kahliel that he was being placed under arrest for assault and read him his miranda rights. Ptl. Marchionda then transported Kahliel to the station. All parties that had injuries including Kahliel where asked if they needed medical attention in which they all denied. Once at station Kahliel underwent processing and was fingerprinted and photographed. Photographs where also taken of Kahliel's injuries by Ptl. Marchionda and where sent to Ptl. Marchionda's email. Kahliel was given an opportunity to post bond which he contacted Sly Bail Bonds to post a bond in the amount of $1,250.00 for ORC 2903.12A Assault M-1. Sly Bail Bondsman Christopher Harkovitch then arrived and processed the bond and once finished I received the power of attorney which I made a copy of.

California Ave. near S. 2oth St. I made
contact with Hunter and informed him the
reason for the stop. I asked Hunter for his
ID card, vehicle registration, and proof of
insurance and he was unable to produce
any requested documents.
Hunter advised he knew he shouldn't be
driving. Hunter was very apologetic and
compliant. I had Hunter call his girlfriend to
come pick up the van. I then wrote Hunter a
traffic citation for DUSLicense Forfeiture
335.074. I informed Hunter of his
mandatory court appearance on 5/3/2018 at
0900hrs. After Hunters girlfriend Kayland
Conner arrived on scene I then cleared
without further incident.

DATE: 04/28/2018 01:23:00
OVI and Child Endangerment.
On 4/28/2018 at 1:23am I Ptl Scott was
stationary at W Ohio Ave and Johnson Rd
when I witnessed a vehicle traveling east on
W. Ohio Ave. go through a stop sign at the
intersection of W. Ohio Ave. and N.
Johnson Rd. I then positioned my cruiser
behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop
and the vehicle did not stop until it pulled
into the drive way of 165 S. Johnson Rd. I
then approached the vehicle and spoke to
the driver and informed the driver of the
reason I had stopped them and requested
their driver's license, registration, and proof
of insurance in which I did not receive
because the driver could not produce the
documents.
The driver rambled on about being followed
by police and mentioned of being arrested
earlier in the night by Alliance Police and
stated that Alliance officers took money
from him along with the driver's license and
marijuana. I then asked the driver if he had
smoked any marijuana prior to driving but
the driver ignored the question and
continued to speak on random topics not
related to the traffic stop.
Around this time Ptl. Caughey drove by and
asked if I needed assistance in which I
stated to Caughey that I would appreciate
his assistance. I also observed blood on the
driver's hands and wrists and asked him
why there was blood on his hands and wrist
and he stated it was because of painting. I
could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic
beverage coming from the vehicle and
asked the driver if they had consumed any
alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which
the driver stated he had two beers and then
the driver put a cigarette in his mouth and
started to speak on random topics again.
I then asked the driver to exit the vehicle
and move to the rear of his vihicle to which
he hesitated but eventually complied and
once he was to the rear of his vehicle I
could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic
beverage coming from his person. I then
was able to identify the driver as Randal
Crowe by his name date of birth and social
security number.
I had Randal stand on the side walk and
asked if he would consent to standardized
field sobriety testing in which he complied. I
turned off my cruisers front overhead lights
and told Randal to stand still with his hands
to his side and feet together while I began
the instructions. I asked Randal if he had
any medical or physical conditions that
would inhibit him from taking the tests in
which Randal stated that he did not.
Based on the test results and my
experience I placed Randal under arrest for
suspicion of OVI and placed hand restraints
on Randal and began to walk Randal to my
cruiser when Randal started to stop walking
and I had to force Randal to my cruiser. I
then patted Randal down when he kept
turning around after being told not to and I
then pulled Randal's arms up so I could
complete the pat down without Randal
turning toward me. Once I opened the back
cruiser door Randal turned around and
would not enter the vehicle. I then placed
my left hand on Randal's abdomen and my
right hand behind Randal's head to help
Randal enter the vehicle when Randal
moved away and Randal's head was struck
against the left rear car door unintentionally
and then a struggle ensued to get Randal's
whole body in the vehicle. Once Randal
was secured Randle stated that he had his
two children in his house under a car tarp.
I then called Ptl. Siranovic to respond and
when he did both officers entered the
unlocked house concerning for the
children's safety while officer Caughey
stood by with Randal. Officers found both
the children upstairs on a blow up mattress
using a car tarp as a blanket. I woke both
children up and talked to them and they
stated that their father Randal told them that
he was turning himself in today and if he
was not back by morning he instructed the
children to walk to their grandmothers
house and stated that Randal has been
gone since around 9:OOpm. Officers
attempted to contact the mother and were
unsuccessful and eventually contacted the
children's grandmother
Ptl. Caughey transported the children to
their grandmothers house.
I then transported Randal back to the
station and read him the BMV2255 form
and asked Randal if he would consent to
chemical testing which Randal consented to
and signed the form. I then transported
Randal to the Alliance Police Station where
he gave a breath sample and his BAC was
a 0.225. Randal then gave a urine sample
as well.
Randal made statements such as next time
he will throw elbows and that both his
children are old enough to wipe their own
ass and that he gave them money to walk
to Zep Pizza if they were hungry.
Randal was charged with OVI (SFST)
4511.19A1 , OVI (Greater than .17)
4511.19(A)(1)(h), Traffic control devices
4511.12 and two counts of Endangering
Children 2919.22.

in a marked patrol car stationary at the
intersection of S. 15th St. and Texas Ave.
facing south when the vehicle on the
opposite side of me continued traveling
north after stopping at the stop sign and
appeared to be traveling at a high rate of
speed. I then activated my cruisers rear
radar and observed the vehicle traveling at
35mph in a 25 mph zone and the speed
was still rising. I then turned my cruiser
around and positioned it behind the vehicle
and initiated a traffic stop on N. 15th St. and
Ohio Ave. the vehicle was a red 2003
Chevrolet station wagon bearing an Ohio
license plate (GOT4134). I then approached
the vehicle when the driver opened the door
I then asked if the window worked and the
driver stated that it did not and then
proceeded to ask me ("What?) I then
informed the driver of the reason I had
stopped them and the driver proceeded to
argue with me that she was not speeding
and that when she was at the stop sign she
stated that I was behind her and almost rear
ended her which was false. I then asked her
for her driver's license, registration, and
proof of insurance.
I received her driver's license and an
expired insurance card and then the driver
called her husband on her phone.
I identified the driver as Stacey Wiggins and
Stacey had her husband ask me for my
badge number over the phone in which I
told Stacey that my badge number was
#506 and then Stacey began to argue with
me once more and then held a piece of
paper up and put it in my face stating that it
was her insurance and I ordered her to
remove the piece of paper from my face.
I told Stacey to remain in the vehicle and I
returned to my cruiser and wrote Stacey a
traffic citation for Speed SCO 333.03 and
cited Stacey into MCC#3 with a court date
of 05/03/2018 at 9:OOam with a personal
appearance required.
I then returned to the vehicle which was
around the time Ptl. Siranovic arrived and
informed Stacey that she will be receiving a
traffic citation and asked Stacey for her
phone number for the citation in which she
refused by saying that
she did not have a phone. Stacey then
demanded for me to show her the radar's
calibration which I refused due to her hostile
nature. Stacey was then given a chance to
sign the citation and I handed her my ticket
pan and pen and she jerked both items
from my hand and drew a large X where a
signature was supposed to be and then
handed me my ticket pan and pen back.
I then went to give her a copy of her citation
and Stacey grabbed the driver side door
and attempted to shut the door with me in
the way and I stopped the door and told
Stacey that she was not free to leave and
that she needed to show some kind of
respect to police officers. Stacey then yelled
that she was going to the station to file a
report and I gave her the copy of her
citation and then cleared.
Once I returned to the station a red pickup
truck arrived and Stacey and her husband
exited the vehicle and walked past the back
door where I was standing. I could hear
Stacey swearing and her husband asked "Is
this him?" and stated to me that " you better
have good evidence young man" and
continued in the police department to speak
to the dispatcher.
Stacey's husband was told that he needed
to come back at a different time to file a
complaint because I could not be the one to
give it to him and he stated to DO Wheeler
that "You need to keep your young boy
under control" and then exited the
building.

PTL SCOTT ************************************ SEBRING Police STORY ARREST REPORT TRAFFIC Brian Carlisle On 4/22/2018 I observed a vehicle parked revving its engine multiple times which resulted in a OVI arrest. Ptl. Scott #506 On 4/22/2018 at 12:50am I Ptl. Scott was traveling west on W. Indiana Ave. near N. 17th St. when I heard a vehicle rev its engine multiple times. I turned my cruiser around and drove up to a van and observed a male in the driver seat and heard the engine rev once more coming from this individual's vehicle. I also recalled observing this same vehicle driving east on W. Ohio Ave. before turning onto N. 17TH St. I then drove next to the vehicle and spoke to the driver and asked if he was okay and he responded with "I am revving my engine to get the dust bunnies out of my van" the driver appeared to be heavily intoxicated. I then told the driver to stay in the vehicle and positioned myself behind his vehicle and activated my overhead lights and notified dispatch. I then approached the vehicle and identified the driver as Brian Carlisle and asked Brian where he was coming from in which he stated Alliance and Brian admitted to driving the vehicle and I then asked Brian if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving in which he stated yes. I then asked Brian to exit the vehicle and when he did I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. I then instructed Brian to come to the rear of his vehicle and I also turned my front overhead lights off which soon after Ptl. Siranovic arrived. I then asked Brian if he would consent to standardized field sobriety testing in which he stated yes. I told Brian to stand straight up with his feet together and his arms up and down and to his sides. I asked Brian if he had any medical conditions that would inhibit him from taking the tests in which he stated that he hit his head months ago and had a concussion and throughout the night Brian would state new conditions. I asked if Brian currently takes any medication in which he stated that he takes blood pressure medication but had not taken any tonight. I then instructed Brian to continue to stand in the starting position and to follow my pen with his eyes and to not move his head. I then checked for equal pupil size on both eyes, if both eyes tracked equally, and a resting nystagmus. Both Brian's pupils where of equal size both Brian's eyes tracked equally, and Brian did not have a resting nystagmus. I then began the first test which was the horizontal gaze nystagmus and once the test began I observed the following clues: lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes, distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation in both eyes. Also Brian at times would not follow with the pen but instead would look directly at me and I had to tell him to follow the pen multiple times, also Brian would follow with his head after being told to just follow with his eyes multiple times. The next test was the walk and turn and I had Brian stand in the starting position standing straight up with his arms to his side and his right foot in front of his left food while 1 gave the instructions and I told him to stay at that position and not to move or start until I instruct him to do so and asked if he understood in which Brian stated yes that he understood. Once I gave the instructions as well as a demonstration of what the test would look like I instructed Brian to begin and once the test began I observed the following clues: Improper turn, stepped off the line, used his arms to balance, miscounted steps, and was unable to keep his balance, did not count out loud, staggered and almost fell several times. The next test was the one leg stand and I instructed Brian to stand straight up with his feet together and his hands to his side while I gave him the instructions and asked him if he understood in which Brian stated yes that he understood. I gave Brian the instructions along with an example and told him while performing the test to not put his foot down and asked Brian if he understood in which Brian stated that he understood. Once the test began I observed the following clues: did not count out loud, could not keep his balance, improperly counted, put foot down, used arms to balance, swayed while balancing, Brian almost fell several times and I made the decision to end the test for his safety. Once the tests where finished based on the results and my experience I placed Brian under arrest for suspicion of OVI and placed him in hand restraints which where gapped and double locked and placed Brian in the back of my cruiser. I then transported Brian to the station where I read Brian the BMV 2255 form and asked Brian if he wanted to submit to chemical testing in which he consented and signed the BMV 2255 form which Ptl. Siranovic witnessed. I then transported Brain to the Alliance police department for chemical testing and met with Ptl. Mark which conducted the test. Brian then gave a breath sample for the intoxilyzer 8000 and a sample was obtained and I then obtained a urine sample from Brian which I transported back to the department and placed in the refrigerator. Once all chemical testing was complete I viewed the results of the breath sample and Brian's blood alcohol content was 0.289. I then transported Brian back to the department where he was processed by fingerprinting and photographing which was done by Ptl. Siranovic and I then wrote a traffic citation for ORC 4511.19(A)(l)(a) OVI (SFST) and ORC 4511.19(A)(l)(h) OVI (Greater than .17) and Brian was given a court date of 4/26/2018 at 9:OOam with a personal appearance required for Mahoning County Court #3. I then had Brian sign a recognizance form of $1,000 for both OVI charges. Brian was given a copy of the BMV 2255 form, traffic citation, bond recognizance form, and his breath results. Once the paper work was complete I gave Brian a courtesy transport at 275 W.lndiana Ave. and then cleared. Ptl.

Mr. Springer's address is 20624 Beach St. Alliance, Oh 44601. 1 informed him that it didn't appear that he had the proper safety instruments to ride his bicycle on the road at night either and that he would need to get a light for the rear of his bicycle. Officer checked Mr. Springer for any weapons, and while conducting my Terry pat, I noticed an object in his pants which Officer could identify as a pill bottle. Officer asked Mr. Springer what that item was, and asked him if it was a pill bottle. Officer never asked him to remove the pill bottle, but he did so on his own. It took him several seconds to remove the bottle from his pants due to the fact that the bottle was located in a cargo pocket located in his shorts, which he had on underneath his sweat pants. Mr. Springer removed the bottle and handed it to me, and Officer asked him if there were any pills inside the bottle before he removed it because Officer believed Officer heard rattling in the bottle. Mr. Springer stated that there was nothing inside the bottle and to prove that he didn't empty anything out he dropped his sweatpants down to reveal only his shorts. Officer asked if he had anything else on him that needed to know about and Officer finished my Terry pat. Officer also felt in his pocket a long cylindrical tube which I identified as being some sort of pipe. Officer asked him to remove the glass pipe from his pants, and he explained to me that it was a glass pipe used to smoke tobacco. The pipe had one end open and the other end was round with a small hole in it, similar to the style used to smoke or ingest narcotics by placing the narcotic in the end and heating it up. Mr. Springer claimed that it had never been used, however there where burn marks on the end of it. Ptl. Davis from Smith Township arrived and assisted me in my investigation. Upon examining the pill bottle closer, Officer noticed a white powdery substance in the bottom of the bottle. Officer asked Mr. Springer several times what the substance was, but he claims that he didn't know and then informed us that he found the bottle, but couldn't accurately tell us where he found it. He stated that he was going to use it to store his loose change in. During the time we were speaking to Mr. Springer, he began sweating very heavily and claimed that it was because it was hot out and that he was riding his bike, but Officer informed him that neither one of us were sweating and that it wasn't very hot out. Officer asked him if he was on any narcotics, and he stated that he wasn't. Ptl. Davis stood by while Officer attempted to locate a field testing kit to attempt to determine what the white powdery substance was, but was unable to locate a test kit. Officer returned, and Ptl. Davis informed me that he also had a small knife in his pocket which he did not tell us about. Mr. Springer was wearing a black backpack, which Officer asked if he had any weapon in the backpack, to which he replied that he didn't and that the only things he had in there were clothes and a book. Officer asked him if he would allow us to search the backpack if he didn't have anything illegal in there, to which he refused. Officer informed him that Officer would be sending the pill bottle off to be tested and that if it contained a narcotic, then he would be charged with possession and drug paraphernalia. Officer also noticed a white powdery trace inside the glass pipe and believed that to also be from a narcotic, possibly methamphetamine, which Mr. Springer denied. Officer informed him that Officer would also have that logged into evidence and that he could possibly be charged with that as well. On 10/17/2014 upon arriving at the beginning of my shift, Officer received results from a chemical test done on the white powdery residue inside the container.

This department had been dispatched to this address the day before when Mr. Reed had been in the house and kicked their dog. The Hill's did not want Mr. Reed back in their house and Mr. Reed had been told by this Officer that he was not to return to that house based on the wishes of the Hill's. Upon arrival we observed Mr. Reed looking out the upstairs apartment window. He was asked if he had taken a ring from Mrs. Hill and he said "I don't know what you are talking about." Officer left Officer Eberling with Mr. Reed, who had came down stairs and was on the porch. l went with Officer White to get a statement from Karen Hill. Mrs. Hill again said that Mr. Reed had entered her house right behind her and she had not given him permission to come in the house. She had a gold ring in her hand and Mr. Reed took the ring from her and left the house. She said that the ring had been her mothers and she had given it to her before she died. Officer asked her if she wanted to have Mr. Reed arrested for his actions. She said yes. Officer asked Mrs. Hill if she would give Officer White a written statement and she said yes. I went to the porch where Mr. Reed and Michele Morrow (the person who is on the lease of the apartment) were standing with Officer Eberling. Base upon the statement made to me by Mrs. Hill, Mr. Reed was placed under arrest for burglary. At this time Mr. Reed kept trying to pull away from Officer Eberling and Officer helped to bring him under control and he was placed in the back of Officer Eberling's car. Officer then asked Ms Morrow if Officer could search the house for the ring and she said yes. Officer then went upstairs with Ms. Morrow and looked around the house. A William Hopkins was in the living room, and Officer asked him if he had seen Mr. Reed with a gold ring? He said "Yes that he had seen a gold band on one of his pinkie fingers. Officer radioed Officer Eberling to check Mr. Reeds hands for the ring. Officer Eberling radioed back and said that he had no rings on his hands. Officer checked the bedroom and while doing that Officer asked Ms. Morrow if she knew where he may have put the ring and she said maybe in my jewelry box. She got the box out and opened it but there was no jewelry in it. Officer then saw a gold object on a empty Knick- Knack shelve. Officer went over to it and saw that it was a gold band ring, small about a size 7. 1 asked Ms. Morrow if this was her ring and she said no. Officer asked if she knew who it belonged to and she said no. Officer then took the ring down stairs and showed it to Mrs. Hill and asked her if it was the ring that Mr. Reed had taken and she said "Yes". She asked for it back and Officer told her that Officer would have to keep it until the case was over as it was evidence. Officer told Mrs. Hill that Mr. Reed would be charged with Burglary. The statement was completed by Mrs. Hill and Officer went to the car and told Mr. Reed that he was being charged with Burglary, and F-2. Mr. Reed was brought back to the station to be processed and at that time he complained of his wrist hurting, he had told me the day before that he had broken it and would need surgery. Officer request Officer Eberling to take Mr. Reed to the Hospital in Alliance to get him cleared for Jail. Officer Eberling informed me that at Alliance they had put a splint on his wrist after they had x-ray it, but that they had cleared him for jail. When Officer Eberling returned to the station to get the paperwork and to have DNA obtained, Mr. Reed became very combative and would not cooperate. Once the DNA was obtained Mr. Reed was placed in the back of the car for transport to county jail. Officer Eberling needed fuel in his car so Officer followed him to the station and watched Mr. Reed as he got fuel. Mr. Reed then started to kick and hit his head on the windows. In an attempt to calm Mr. Reed down he became combative again. Mr. Reed was finally brought under control and Officer Eberling transported him to the County Jail. Upon arrival and check-in at County Jail, the Medical Tech would not let Mr. Reed in because she said that his blood pressure was too high. Mr. Reed told her that it was high because he was afraid of going to jail. Officer Eberling asked that they check his pressure again as they had only checked it once and he was told no you must take him to St. "E's" to be cleared. Since Alliance had cleared him once Officer did not see a reason to bring him all the way back to Alliance to have him cleared, so Officer told Officer Eberling to take him to St "E's" and get him cleared. Officer Eberling did that and Mr. Reed was returned to County Jail where he was placed for Burglary 291 1.12(a)(2) with a $12,000 Bond.

Darren Eberling *********************************** On 12/06/2014 at approximately 1552 hours, while traveling north on N 21S'St in a clearly marked police cruiser, I observed a blue truck traveling at a visibly high rate of speed south on N 21 St near B.P.1 Recycling. I activated my radar unit which confirmed the speed of 53 rnph in a clearly posted 35 rnph zone. I tracked the vehicle visually and with the radar and the units speed fluctuated from 53 rnph to 51 rnph for approximately 700 feet before I turned in a driveway to turn around to get behind the vehicle. I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle in the 700 block of N 21 St and made contact with the drive/owner Bret E Smith. I informed Smith that I stopped him for speed 53 mph in a clearly posted 35 rnph zone. Smith advised that he believed he was only going about 39 rnph because he had allegedly just turned onto N 21St St from Courtney Rd. Smith advised he was already aware that it was only 35 rnph in that area. Smith questioned when the radar unit was calibrated and I advised him they are done yearly. The radar unit has never picked up any sort of interference in the vicinity of this traffic stop. I issued Smith a citation for Speed 333.03 SCO 53 rnph in a clearly posted 35 mph zone. I advised Smith of his court date at MCC #3 on 12/11/2014 at 1100 hours. Ptl. Darren Eberling ********************************** On this date I was dispatched to 216 West Ohio Apt #402 for a women locked in her bedroom. Upon arrival I made entry into the apartment and spoke to Ms. Hanson (age 60 and handicapped). She told me that she was alright, but wanted out. I could see that someone had tied the door closed securing it to a closet door knob. It was tied with a cord from a vacuum cleaner. I took photos of the way that she had been locked in her room before I removed the cords from the door. I then made entry into the room and spoke with Ms Hanson. She told me that her son Jonathan Lee Rine (age 36) had locked her in her room because he said that she had lied to him about Sally's being open, so he could get some money today. He wanted her Debit card but she would not give it to him and that is when he came into the bedroom and grabbed her by the neck and chocked her. He told her that he was going to lock her in that room until tomorrow night. He said that he would not give her anything to eat or drink. He told her he would kill her and how he hated her. He threw her clothes into her bedside toilet. He then told her now all your clothes smell like piss. I asked her how she knew that the door had been secured and she told me that she had tried to get out. She was asked how long she had been in the room and she told me all day. She had to wait for him to leave before she could use the help line, because if he heard her calling for help he would have killed her. He told her that if she called the police that he would kill her and himself. I then spoke to the Prosecutor and was told to charge him with Kidnapping ORC 2905.01 (a)(3). At that time I did a video taped interview with Ms Hanson. In it she tells me the same thlngs as above. I then spoke to the Chief and he approved Sgt Faudree and Officer Amabeli to come in and search for Mr. Rine. He also said to charge him with DV ORC 291 9.25(A) for the assault on her In the bedroom. This department has been to this victim before on this type of charges and she can now see how it is getting worst with each time. The state will be the one's to bring the DV Charges. I made arrangement for Ms. Hanson to stay with a friend until we are able to find him. She is in fear for her life. A search of the area did not find Mr. Rine. I will obtain a warrant for him. A BOLO was put out for Jonathan Rine. On 11/28/14 at approximately 1832 hours, I was dispatched to 216 W Ohio Ave Apt 402 for a female locked in her bedroom. Upon arrival I met with Det. Harris who was already on scene and informed me of the call details. Myself and Det. Harris proceeded up to apartment 402 and found Lerene Hanson trapped in her bedroom. Her bedroom door was tied shut with a vacuum sweeper cord and streched across the hallway and tied to another door knob to prevent her from getting out. I also found her wheelchair placed across the hallway in the bathroom with both wheels locked so she could not have access to it. Det. Harris processed the scene and interviewed the victim while I set out to locate the suspect Jonathan Lee Rine who was believe to be located at Mark Mueller's house located at 216 W Pennsylvania Ave according to the victim Hanson. Upon arrival I called for assistance from Smith Township officer Osberg. Upon the other units arrival we approached the home and made contact with Mark Mueller who advised that Rine had just left his residence in a silver colored Ford Taurus allegedly en route to Alliance with Joseph Henry Saulsberry. I informed dispatch of Saulsberry who advised this individuals address was 236 Alabama Ave Apt. 2 so myself and Smith Township officer Osberg drove there to try and meet with Saulsberry. Upon arrival I observed a Ford Taurus parked in front of Apt. 2 that matched the description of the vehicle that allegedly picked up Rine from 216 W Pennsylvania Ave. I gave dispatch the Ohio plate number FXS3676 which returned to a Danielle L Chavarria. Myself and Smith Township officer Osberg approached Apt. 2 and made contact with Joseph Henry Saulsberry who advised Rine was not at his home. Saulsberry advised that he did indeed pick up Rine from 216 W Pennsylvania Ave and took him to Circle K 205 E. Ohio Ave and then dropped him off in front of Sebring Public Library 195 W Ohio Ave. Saulsberry advised that Rine then told him that he was going "home" from the library. Saulsberry refused to allow myself and Smith Township officer Osberg to come into his apartment to verify that Rine was not there. After leaving there I also went to 132 N 16th St and spoke with Jill Corbett who is known to possible have contact with Rine but advised he was not there and has not seen him for awhile. I decided to go back to 236 Alabama Ave Apt 2 to see if Saulsberry was still home but the silver Ford Taurus was now I gone. I went to Apt. 3 and spoke with the neighbors about if they had seen anyone get out of the vehicle with Saulsberry when he arrived there but they informed me they did not pay any attention. I attempted to make contact with Apt 1 but no one answered the door and Apt 2 where Saulsberry lived was checked once more but no one answered the door. After talking to Sgt. Faudree, I stayed at 236 Alabama Ave and waited for the silver Ford Taurus to return to see if Saulsberry had Rine with him. A little while later the vehicle did return and Saulsberry got out with 2 younger girls who went in the apartment with him. Myself and Ptl. Amabeli approached Apt 2 and Saulsberry then gave us consent to search the apartment this time to look for Rine. Our search did not locate Rine so we left the residence and informed Saulsberry that if Rirle is seen to contact us. Saulsberry was also asked to give his story again about what happened earlier. Saulsberry's story the second time slightly differed from his first story stating that he picked Rine up at 216 W Pennsylvania Ave and went to Rocky's Drive Thru and then to the Library. This differed from the first story since he stated then that they went to Circle K, when asked, Saulsberry advised that they stopped at Rocky's Drive Thru for him to get cigarettes and then they went to Cirlce for Rine and then to the Library. Myself and Ptl. Amabeli left the apartment and continued to search for Rine throughout the night. Ptl. Darren Eberling #506 11/29/14 On this date a warrant was Issued for (F-I) K~dnapplnga, nd (M-I) DV, for Jomathan Rlne. As of this report he has no been found.
