SEBRING POLICE STORY #23-001072
Date: 01/23/2023 0622 hrs

THEFT
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 Gtover, 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.

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 vehicle to

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.

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 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.

NFI ATT. Charges are pending approval by the prosecutor.

Upon arriving in the area I located what appeared to be two pit bulls running from the church towards a residence on N .Johnson Ave. One appeared to be a brown brindle colored and the other appeared to be all black.

I was able to enough to the two dogs while they were running behind the residence of N. Johnson to identify them as being the dogs of Mr. Robert Uyselt. I recognized the dogs from previous complaints in the past. There have been multiple complaints on the two dogs being aggressive towards humans and killing and attacking other animals. I advised dispatch who the owner of the dogs was going to be and to contact the dog warden about this matter.

I was not able to get close to the dogs to catch them due to them running further away. I lost visual of them near Virginia Ave.

Once I was unable to locate the dogs I cleared.

On the above date I noticed a red in color Dodge Ram driving in the area of E. Indiana with who appeared to be Robert Uyselt as the driver. I ran the Ohio license plate to confirm the vehicle and driver was in fact going to be Robert. Dispatch confirmed it was him.

I conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle to inform Robert that I saw his dogs running towards Virginia Ave and to have him attempt to get the dogs. Robert stated he was attempting to locate them at this time. I advised him at this time he was going to be charged for the dogs running at large due to this being the second time and the complaints of the aggressive behavior of the dogs.

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.

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.

Det. Reed #505

On 06-27-2022. I met with Prosecutor Van Brocklin regarding this matter. After informing Prosecutor Van Brocklin of the facts and circumstances surrounding this case, he advised to file for warrants on charges of burglary (trespass in a habitation) (ORC: 2911.12(B)).

CITED: Brandon Woodburn, age 18, 22046 Norman Avenue, Alliance, Ohio

CHARGE: SCO: 333.03 Assured Clear Distance Ahead

At 21:30 hours I responded to the area of S. 15th Street and W. California Avenue for a reported two-car motor-vehicle accident without injuries.

Upon arriving to the scene, I met with Brandon M. Woodburn, who was the driver of a red 2006 Dodge 2500 (Ohio-Reg HYA 6990). I also met with Brett W. McDermitt, who was the driver of a tan 2001 Ford Mustang (Ohio-Reg JKZ 5122), and his passenger, Maria N. Sams. I was advised that no one had been injured after asking all three involved parties.

In speaking with Woodburn, he told me that he had been driving northbound on 15th street and was waiting for a train to pass, directly behind McDermitt's vehicle. Woodburn said that he had mistakenly believed his vehicle was in park, striking the back of McDermitt's vehicle. Woodburn then provided me with his driver license as well as pulled up his insurance (Geico Insurance Co.) on his phone.

After speaking with Woodburn, I made contact with Sams and McDermitt. In speaking with the two, they again said that they were not injured and that while stopped at the railroad tracks waiting for a train to pass, their vehicle was struck from behind by Woodburn. I did notice minor paint damage as well as cracking to the trunk on the Mustang belonging to McDermitt. McDermitt and Sams both provided me with their Driver Licenses, with McDermitt also providing me with a digital copy of his insurance(Progressive). I then photographed the damage as well as obtained contact information from both Sams and McDermitt. Afterwards, I told them that they were free to go.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation 032295. I cited Woodburn for Assured Clear Distance Ahead (SCO:333.03), for striking the rear of McDermitt's vehicle. Woodburn signed the citation, was provided with his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 within the next several business days for information on how to contest the citation or pay it if he wished to do so.

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.

Jared was respectful to me, and advised he had just purchased the bike, and was "testing it out". I asked Jared for is license and documentation, and he was able to procure me with said documents. Dispatch advised me that Jared was still under a motorcycle novice endorsement, and was required to be wearing a helmet until 10/07/2022.

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

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

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

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

I asked Sgt. Kelm #SO3 to come to the traffic stop as well, with him arriving a short time later. After speaking with the supervisor, it was determined that the vehicle wou9d be towed, and Alyssa be notified of her privileges being revoked. After telling Alyssa she would be receiving a citation for the suspension, and the vehicle be towed Alyssa became very verbally abusive towards officers, cursing at officers on several occasions.

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.

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.

Upon making contact with the owner of the 1999 Chevy Truck (IIU1357) Michael Kenney. I advised him of why he was stopped. While advising Kenney to walk back to his vehicle he advised me to " Fuck Off " and also, he had business to handle in the court house. At this time I walked to Kenney and attempted to assist him back to his vehicle. Kenney then began to tell me not to touch him or he was going to physically hurt my person. At this time I advised Kenney that he needed to stay at his vehicle until I finished my investigation.

Kenney then asked why did I pull him over and I advised him that he was being pulled over for Operating a Vehicle Without Displaying his License Plates and also for Loud Exhaust. Kenney then stated "This is not a Vehicle its a Fucking Tractor and the president said it was".

I then advised Kenney that by state law he is to have a license Plate on a Motor Vehicle. I then asked Kenney where did he have his plate and he pulled it out from under his seat and he would not let me see the plate. I again asked to see the License plate and Kenney advised that his vehicle is a tractor and he also made the statement " Are you Fucking Blind did you not see the orange triangle in the back of my tractor".

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.

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).

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.

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.

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 processed, Greathouse was released on a $1,000.00 own recognizance bond. Amanda Thacker arrived to take him home and ensure that he made it safely. Nothing additional to report at this time.

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.

I put my cruiser in drive, and followed the vehicle in an attempt to verify that the plate was expired. As we neared the intersection of Ohio and 12th Street, I observed the vehicle to not have a plate light. I activated my overhead lights, and the vehicle came to a stop in front of the court house. As I approached the vehicle, I observed that the plate sticker was in fact expired. Showing from October 2021.

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

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

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.

Ohio Avenue, I conducted a random registration check of a white Chevrolet Silverado, that was in the parking lot of Circle K, located at 205 E. Ohio Avenue. The Silverado, bearing Ohio Registration JLW 5854, showed as being registered to a Ryan Bandy, whose driver license was suspended. From the alleyway between the 100 bocks of E. Ohio and E Oregon Avenues, I watched the truck pull from the business's parking lot and onto the roadway.

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

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

I then returned to my patrol car, where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032224. I cited Ryan for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11). At approximately this time, Ptl. Russell arrived on scene as well. It was also found that the registration that was affixed to Ryan's truck belonged on a 2013 Silverado. 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 patrol vehicle 302 in front of 356 N 12th St for Window tint and also for the drivers operators license being suspended.

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

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

Dispatch was then advised to contact OSP and also Alliance Police, the vehicle continued west on Courtney Rd with light traffic conditions and speeds were 70 MPH. Det.

Upon approaching the intersection of Keystone and Union Ave the vehicle ran a red light almost ramming a white utility truck. Sebring Dispatch then advised per Sqt Kelm to terminate the pursuit. I then advised that the pursuit was terminated. After ending the pursuit advised Sebring dispatch to contact Stark County Sheriffs and also Canton Police since the vehicle returns to a Canton address and I returned back to the Sebring Police Department.

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

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

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

Cited: Joshua Frankos, 32, 11441 Market St. North Lima, Ohio

Charge: SCO: 333.03 Speed (51/35) M-4

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 that appeared to be 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 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.

I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032217. I cited Frankos for speeding (SCO:333.03), for going 51 MPH in a marked 35 MPH zone. A check through LEADS also showed that Frankos had two convictions for moving violations with the past 12 months.

I then returned to Frankos's vehicle, where he signed his citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on when to appear for his mandatory court appearance. I then cleared from the stop. Nothing additional to report at this time.

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. The passenger Cheryl Dawn Marian was given a PBT, found not to be impaired and allowed to drive the vehicle away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After clearing from the traffic stop, I returned to the police station briefly before going to Cathy Morrison's residence, located at 546 S, Johnson Road. Upon making contact with Morrison, I informed her that her vehicle had been towed because Smith was driving it with a suspended license. When I asked Morrison if she was aware that Smith's license was suspended, she stated "I think I did". Morrison was then issued Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032206.1 cited Morrison for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle (ORC: 4511.203(A)(2)). Morrison signed the citation, was given her copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for further instructions on when to appear for her mandatory court hearing. I also advised Morrison that a hold had been placed on her vehicle until at least her first court appearance and that it had been towed to Sebring Tire, located at 10 N. 12th Street.

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.

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.

CITED: Melonie Copen, 38, 29546 Salem-Alliance Rd. Salem Oh

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.

Nothing additional to report at this time.

Charges:

335.01(a) No Drivers License

331.14 Failure to Signal

4510.11(B) Violation of Restriction

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I also explained that the equipment violation was my initial reason to stop since I am conducting OVI saturation in the Local area.

I advised her at this time she will be receiving a citation for the tag. The driver stated she would rather take the citation over a tow bill since she is on her way to work.

I issued the driver citation accordingly for the expired tag. I left the vehicle in her care since the expiration is within 30 days. A warning about the equipment violation was also issued to the driver.

4549.02(A)(1) Stopping After an Accident

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Traffic - S. 18th Street & W. Georgia Ave.

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.

Traffic - S. Johnson Rd. & Lake Park Blvd

CITED: Lee Carney, 27, 1114 Bedford Ave. S.W. Canton, OH

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.

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

Charge: 4511.19 A1A OVl SFST / Bond $500

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charge: SCO: 335.01 Driver License Required (MM)

On 07-23-2021 at 16:26 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While southbound in the 200 block of N. 15th Street I conducted a random registration check of a vehicle that was traveling southbound in front of me. The Black Suzuki Forenza, bearing Ohio Registration HCF 8090, returned to an Ashley Gilkerson, whose driver license was not valid due to failing to reinstate.

As the vehicle crossed the railroad tracks and turned right onto W. California Avenue, I activated the patrol cars overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a complete stop in the 100 block of W. California Avenue. I then approached and made contact with the female driver, who advised that she was Ashley Gilkerson. I then advised Gilkerson of the reason for the stop as well as asked for her driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Gilkerson was able to produce all three requested documents, with it being confirmed through dispatch again that her driver license was not valid due to failing to reinstate.

At this point Gilkerson advised that she had been told by a judge in Alliance that her license would be valid.

Due to Gilkerson's passenger, Thane Lopez, also not being valid, I advised her that I would be towing her vehicle as well as issuing her a citation. Afler completing an administrative inventory of the vehicle with nothing of value being located, I wrote Uniform Traffic Citation #032080 to Gilkerson. I cited Gilkerson for driver license required (SCO: 335.01). Gilkerson then signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on her mandatory court appeared.

On 06-22-2021 at 0857 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While stationary facing east along the roadside in the 400 block of W. California Avenue, I observed a white SUV that was traveling west bound on California Ave near S.17th St at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the posted 25MPH limit.

Upon activating the patrol cars front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 44MPH.

Once the vehicle passed by me, I activated the patrol cars overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. Due to the vehicle being slow to stop I also activated my audible siren.

Upon reproaching the SUV, a white Chevrolet Traverse bearing Ohio Registration HZU 4373, I made contact with the female driver. I advised her of the reason for the stop as well as asked for her driver license and vehicle registration. The driver was able to produce all requested documents with her Ohio Driver License identifying her as Susan Carli. When I asked Carli about her speed, she advised that she was taking her mother to a medical appointment and was running late.

I then returned to my patrol car where I wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032082 to Carli. I cited Carli for speed (Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03), for going 44MPH in the marked 25MPH zone.

Carli signed the citation, was given her copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for instructions on how to contest the citation or pay it if she wished to do so.

On 06/16/2021 I was performing patrol duties along S. Johnson road when I observed a vehicle that had a partially obstructed license plate, and no rear illumination lighting the license plate. Upon running the license plate (JJV 8117) through dispatch, I was also advised the registered owner was suspended. I activated my emergency overhead lights and audible siren. The vehicle stopped in the parking lot of Perkins off of South Johnson Road. I approached the vehicle and advised my reason for the stop being the rear illumination. The driver, later identified as Tyler Drummond, was also determined to be on a non-compliance suspension. After running all parties through dispatch I advised I would need a tow for the vehicle as all occupants license statuses returned as suspended.

Sgt. Kelm #503 arrived on scene at this time to assist me. I asked all the occupants to step out of the vehicle, to which they complied. Upon a property inventory of the vehicle, I discovered a bottle that was a prescribed only narcotic. I was able to locate the prescription for Tiffany, and the medication and prescription were given to her. A set of secondary license plates (HUR 1048) were also discovered inside the vehicle, and dispatch advised they were to be confiscated.

I completed a tow slip, and Springers towing arrived to sign off on the property slip and obtained the vehicle.

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.

A family member then arrived and pulled Richards vehicle from the ditch while I maintained traffic control. I then cleared from the call with nothing additional to report at this time.

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.

On 05/05/2021 @ 2344 hours I, Patrolman Peterman #507, while performing patrol duties in marked cruiser #303 on West Pennsylvania Ave., I observed a white chevy, and after running the plate(HQQ4573) the vehicle returned to Alyssa Smith, whom dispatch advised was currently under a license suspension.

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.

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.

On 03-20-2021 at 18:13 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While sitting stationary at the intersection of N. 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. I advised Weese that his driver license was under suspension and requested that he exit the vehicle. Once Weese was out of the vehicle, I asked if he was aware of his suspensions. 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. Weese said that he did and that he knew his driver license was suspended.

I then went back to my patrol car and wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032022 to Weese. I cited Weese for Driving Under Suspension (ORC 4510.11), as well as Obedience to Traffic Control Devices (ORC 4511.12).

Upon returning to the vehicle, Weese signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 regarding his mandatory court appearance. I also relayed his passenger, Merrideth Ormiston's information to dispatch. Because Ormiston was valid, I allowed her to drive the vehicle in lieu of towing it, after contacting her daughter, Alexandrea Romigh, who the vehicle was registered to, and receiving consent from her to do so.

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.

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. When I asked Bates if he had a valid driver license, he said that he should and that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles told him that was his license. 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. Sebring Tire then departed from the scene with the vehicle, with no holds being placed on it.

After Sebring Tire Departed from the scene, I issued Uniform Traffic Citation No.032012 to Bates. I cited Bates for Driver License Required (SCO: 335.01) as well as Display of License Plates (SCO: 335.09).

On 05-11-2020 at 01:58 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 301. While traveling westbound in the 1400 block of West Ohio Avenue, I observed a male subject on a black and yellow bicycle, who was also traveling westbound on Ohio Avenue. As I drove past, I noticed that the subject's bicycle was without the proper rear illumination.

Upon noticing this, I activated my overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop on the black and yellow Mongoose mountain bike.

Upon making contact with the male subject who was riding the bicycle. I advised him of the reason that I was stopping him and asked for his Identification. While I was speaking to the subject, I noticed that he appeared very nervous with him visibly shaking. The subject then produced an Ohio Department of Corrections Inmate identification card that identified him as

Ronald Lee Heestand.

After relaying Heestand's information to dispatch and while I was waiting for a return of information, I asked Mr. Heestand what he had been incarcerated for and when he had been released. Heestand said that he had been released several months ago and had been incarcerated for possession of drugs. When I asked if he had any drugs on him at the moment, he said that he did not. I then asked for and received consent to search his person, with me explicitly asking for and receiving consent to search his pockets for drugs. Prior to beginning my search, Heestand did tell me that he had a knife In his waistband, which I took and held onto for the duration of our encounter. Ptl.Peterman also arrived to my location at around this time.

Inside the left pocket of Heestand's shorts I found a brown glasses case, with a used glass ball pipe, a gold in color pill container, and several cotton swabs being inside.

Upon locating this I placed Heestand in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double locked.

While I was concluding my search of Heestand's pockets, Ptl. Peterman opened the gold pill container that had been inside the glasses case. W. Peterman advised that it contained what appeared to be crystal meth. After finishing my search of Heestand's pockets, I began a search of his backpack. Prior to doing so Heestand did tell me that it contained what he was told was marijuana, with me locating the suspected marijuana inside a clear plastic container. Also, inside the backpack was a butane torch, which based upon my training and experience is commonly used to smoke methamphetamine. No other contraband was located.

After concluding my search and verifying that Heestand did not have any active warrants for his arrest I removed him from my handcuffs. I then wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 031894 to Heestand for lights and reflectors required on bicycles. (Sebring Codified Ordinance 373.06).

Heestand then signed the citation and was advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for instructions on how to either pay the citation or for information on how to contest it if he wished to do so. Heestand was then given his copy of the citation. I also informed Heestand that he would be receiving a summons for illegal possession of drug paraphernalia (ORC:2925,14), for the ball pipe that was found on him.

On 11-08-2020. I was advised by Ptl. Marchionda of a report of credit card fraud that he had taken from a Dale Yaggi on 11-02-2020. After reviewing the case file, I made contact with Mr. Yaggi at his residence. In speaking with Mr. Yaggi, he advised that his daughter, Jessica Yaggi, who was present in the residence at around the time his locked file cabinet had been forcibly entered and his PNC Bank card removed, admitted to him that she took the card and returned it. Mr. Yaggi said that Jessica was at her mother's house, located at 540 W. Oregon Avenue when she returned it to him, and this occurred on either 11-04 or 11-05. Mr. Yaggi said that Jessica admitted to him that she forced open the locked file cabinet, with her stating "it's so easy to get into.

Mr. Yaggi said that he still wished to pursue charges in the matter, with him also providing me with a bank account summary that listed the fraudulent charges. A total of six charges were listed which totaled $108.00. Located the card where used included Taco Bell #1653 in Alliance,Ohio, a Cash App transfer to an Anthony Clarke, Marathon gas station In Alliance, Dollar General #9790 Alliance, Ohio, Circle K #05386 in Alliance, Ohio, as well as Papa John's #0817 in Alliance, Ohio. Mr. Yaggi further advised that Jessica only admitted to having purchased gas using the card.

After speaking wlth Mr. Yaggi, I attempted to make phone contact with Jessica using the phone number provided by Mr. Yaggi. After being unable to do so, I went to Jessica's mother's house, located at 540 ? W. Oregon Avenue. Although a red Pontiac Vibe was in the driveway that was registered to Jessica, I did not recelve an answer when I knocked on the door. Further attempts will be made to contact Jessica before this case is presented for prosecutorial review for charges and the investigation will be ongoing.

Nothing additional to report at this time.

On 11-12-2020 I spoke with Prosecutor Gary Van Brocklin regarding this case. Prosecutor Van Brocklin approved charges for theft, ORC 2913.02(A)(1). Because the item stolen was a credit card, this offense is a felony of the fifth degree. (ORC 2913.71 (A) Felony of fifth degree regardless of the value of the property).

On 11-13-2020, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Jessica Yaggi on this charge. Nothing additional to report at this tlme.

On 11-25-2020 I received information that Shawn Davner, who was wanted on
warrants in both Columbiana and Stark counties, was staying with Robert Chapin at
225 W. Oregon Avenue.

Upon arriving to the address I made contact with Mr. Chapin at the front door. I asked
Mr. Chapin Shawn Davner was st the residence, with him advising that he was end
that he was in the upstairs bedroom.

I then asked if I could enter the residence and go upstairs to speak with Davner, with
Chapin inviting me inside. Chapin and I then went upstairs where he told Davner, who
was inside a bedroom with the door closed, that there was someone here to see him.
Davner said "just them I'm not here". I then advised Davner who I was and that I was
with the $ebring Police Department, as well as instructed him to come out of the
bedroom. Davner initialy failed to comply with my request saying that he was getting
dressed. At this point I attempted to open the door and found it to be locked. Due to
Davner failing to comply with my request several times, I advised him that if he did not
open the door I would force entry.

Davner then opened the door, with me entering and informing him that he had an
active warrant for his arrest. At this time I noticed Davner's gaze was fixated on a
closet in the room, which had the door opened and a large amount of clothes inside.
When I asked if he were alone in the room Davner, appeared to nod at the closet. In
order to ensure officer safety, I then placed Davner in handcuffs, which were properly
spaced and double-locked, so that I could check the closet. While checking the closet
with my department issued taser drawn and turned on I found a female subject hiding
inside underneath a pile of clothes, I ordered the subject out as well as asked for her
name and date of birth.

The subject identified herself as Dana Brown and was found to have an active warrant
for her arrest out of Columbiana County.

I then removed the handcuffs from Davner so that he could get dressed. Chief Harris
arrived to the residence at this time as well. Once Davner and Brown were fully
dressed I secured both of them in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and double
locked, as well as searched them for weapons or contraband. I also checked the area
in their immediate vicinity at time of arrest with no weapons or contraband being
located. After receiving confirmation that Columbiana County would pick up Brown and
Stark would pick up Davner it was agreed that both agencies would meet me in the
parking lot of the former Value City Department store to take each into custody. Both
subjects were secured in the back of car 303 before being transported to this location.

Once at the Value City Parking lot I met with deputies from Columbiana and Stark
counties with custody of both subjects being exchanged without incident.

Charges:
SCO: 335.01 Driver License Required

SCO: 331.08 Driving Within Marked Lanes

On 11-28-2020 at 12:58 hours, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit
303.

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.

I immediately activated my overhead emergency lights, following the gray Fusion (OH
Reg. JCR 6277) into the parking lot of Western Reserve Auto. 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. Using both Cruz and Gomez to interpret, I again
reiterated to Francisco that he needed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 as soon
as possible for instructions on how to address the citation. Francisco was also advised
on how to retrieve his vehicle from impound. Sebring Tire, Sgt. Star, and I all three
then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time.

On 11-13-2020 at 14:21 hours, I was met on station by a Mary Vargas, who wished to
make a
complaint regarding unauthorized charges on her bank debit card. Mary advised that
her live-in boyfriend, Andre Sanders, had used her debit card information to make
multiple purchases on Amazon.com. Vargas advised that Sanders obtained her
Information after she allowed him to make one purchase using her card on Amazon on
10-23-2020 for $309.95. Vargas advised that this was the only charge that she
authorized Sanders to make using her debit card.

I then accompanied Vargas to the Sebring Huntington Bank, located at 146 E. Ohio
Ave., where she obtained a printout of her banking transactions between 10/02/2020
and 11/12/2020. On the transaction sheet I noted 11 transactions using Amazon.com,
excluding the initial transaction that Vargas said that she authorized, totaling $681.59.
Vargas advised that she has never made any purchases using amazon.com and that
all of the transactions were done by Sanders. Vargas also advised that she wanted to
pursue charges in the matter, with her providing me with a voluntary witness statement
detailing the incidents before leaving the police station.

0n ,11-14-2020, I made contact with Sanders at 333 W. Oregon Avenue, where he
lives with Vargas.

In speaking with Sanders I advised him of the complaint and asked what had
happened. Sanders advised that Vargas authorized the transaction and that he was
supposed to be paying her back. Sanders denied ever having made any transactions
without the consent of Vargas. When I asked what he had purchased using Vargas's
debit card, Sanders said that he bought DJ'ing equipment, hair clippers, and two
drones. Sanders did provide me a witness statement in which he denied making any
unauthorized purchases.

While Sanders was outside the residence I again spoke with Vargas about the matter.
Vargas reiterated that she only authorized Sanders to make one transaction using her
debit card, that he was supposed to pay her back for that one, and all the other
charges had ocurred without her consent or knowledge.

In speaking further with Sanders about the purchases, he advised that he still had the
boxes to the items he had ordered. With Sanders consent photographed the shipping
labels of the boxes that they had come in as well as the Amazon order history that he
logged onto using his phone.

I advised both parties to keep the peace before clearing from the call, Sanders advised
that this would not be an issue and that he intends to go back to Akron where he lived
prior to moving to Sebring.

This case will be forwarded to Prosecutor Van Bracklin for review and consideration of
possible charges.

Traffic Stop
OHIO and 15 th

CITED: Ronald Handy, 70, 18418 5th Street, Beloit

CHARGE: ORD: 337.24 Motor Vehicle Stop Light

On 11/11/2020 at approximately 1658 hours, I (Ptl. 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. I stated
that if he does indeed own the vehicle to provide the proof of ownership and everything
will be fine. 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.

Upon observing this traffic violation I performed a traffic stop on the vehicle by

stated to officers he did not have his identificatiion on his person. I asked Francis for
his information in which he gave to me. I advised to Francis that another officer, Ptl.
Stanton, wanted to speak with him as well while I run his information.

After exchanging my information of the stop thus far with K9 Stanton I returned to my
marked cruiser #303 and relayed the drivers information to Dispatch. Dispatch relayed
to myself that Francis was suspended out of Ohio. Ptl. Stanton was denied consent to
search the vehicle, then advised Francis, he would be conducting an open air sniff
around the vehicle with K9 Radar.

Ptl. Stanton asked Francis to exit the Vehicle to which Francis complied. Francis was
then led to the front of my Vehicle as Ptl. Brindack performed a pat down for weapons.
K9 Radar positively alerted to the vehicle, giving officers probable cause to search the
vehicle. Francis was placed in handcuffs and detained at this time.

On completion of the search two(2) baggies of what appeared to be a white powdery
substance were discovered, as well as a $10 bill concealing a small amount of the

on the suspected baggies of narcotics. A short time later, Ptl. Toussant arrived on
scene. Ptl. Toussant used two(2) field drug tests designated for MDMA, Ectasy, and
Methamphetamines, and a positive result was noted on both tests. Upon this
observation, Francis was walked back to the patrol vehicle by Ptl. Stanton, placed
under arrest, and advised of his Miranda rights.

Springers Towing arrived on scene to tow the vehicle, and a court hold was placed on
the vehicle. I transported Francis back to station, and began jail paperwork. On station,

out of Athens, Ohio. I observed the plates were currently located on a white 2003
Chevrolet venture van. The vehicle stopped at a gas pump at the Circle K located on
east Ohio Ave. I waited for the vehicle to leave the parking lot of Circle K, and
activated my emergency overhead lights, and audible siren at the intersection of
N.14th St. and E Maryland. The vehicle then came to a stop in the 400 N. block of 14th
St.

As Sgt. Kelm #503 arrived on scene to assist me, I approached the vehicle and
identified myself and the reason for the stop. The driver and registered owner of said
vehicle, Amber McCombs, states she was "heading home after getting food from Circle
K". I asked Amber if she was aware her license plate was currently registered to a
black Saturn to which she responds "That was my last car, and I has it transfered to
this car when I bought it". Amber also states being unaware she currently had a
warrant out of Athens, Oh. I asked Amber to shut her vehicle off and exit it. Amber
was slightly hesitant and began to argue with myself about the warrant.

I again advised Amber to step out of the vehicle. Amber complied with my second
request, and exited the vehicle. I then placed Amber in handcuffs and advised her she
was detained until further news from dispatch if Athens would want Amber.

Dispatch advised the warrant was county pickup only and Amber was then released
from handcuffs.

Amber advised officers that she had a handgun located inside the vehicle. I asked
Amber where the handgun was located, and Amber advised me "it's under there" as
she began to reach inside the vehicle. I grabbed Ambers hand and advised her not to
reach for any weapons in the presence of officers during our investigation. I then
observed the handgun, an unloaded Springfield .45 ACP concealed in the bottom of
the center console, under a plastic cover.

I asked Amber to again turn around and advised she is being detained pending a
further investigation into the concealed handgun. I asked Amber if she had a CCW, to
which she stated "no I do not.". Amber then stated to officers she had a full magazine
of .45 ACP in the back seat. Amber was advised she was now under arrest for carry
concealed weapons violation 2923.12 F-4, and would be receiving a traffic citation for
fictitious plates SCO 335.10 MM.

I advised dispatch of having one in custody, placing Amber in the back of my patrol
vehicle while also ensuring the handcuffs were
properly gapped and double locked. I also advised Amber her car would be getting
towed, and radioed dispatch for Springers Towing to bring a tow truck.

Upon a vehicle inventory, a fully loaded magazine of .45 ACP was discovered in an
open backpack located in the 2nd row back seats, in between both, and placed where
readily accessible to the driver, and a black plastic box containing a 1 gram baggie of a
green leafy substance.

After vehicle inventory was completed, and Springers towing obtained the vehicle both
units returned to station to begin paperwork.

Amber was transported to station, and advised of her Miranda rights.

Amber was photographed, and received her traffic citation. Mahoning county jail was
contacted by dispatch, and approved to have Amber brought to MCJ. Paperwork for
MCJ was completed, and Amber was placed back into my patrol vehicle, placed in a
seatbelt for her safety, and transported to MCJ wlthout Incident.

Upon my return from MCJ evidence was placed into locker #1, with the baggie of
green leafy substance marked for destruction. Nothing further to report.

Warrant - Summit County

I was patrolling the area of W. Maryland near N. 20th when I spotted 3 individuals, 2
riding on mountain - style bicycles, and 1 on a smaller BMX-looking bicycle all of which
had no lights on the front or rear of the bicycles. I closed my distance between the
individuals to attempt to stop them when they observed me following them, leading
one of the bicyclists to turn down fhe alleyway between the 500 W. block of Ohio and
Maryland. I followed the other two when they hastily turned into the alleyway between
the 500 W. block of Ohio and Oregon, losing the individuals in the alleyway. I then
patroled the surrounding area before parking for stationary patrol on foot in my efforts
to spot the bicyclists.

I again started patrols around the 500 W. block of Pennsylvania, turning onto N. 19th
St. I approched the stop sign at Oregon when I again spotted two of the individuals,
this time one was on foot and the other was still on the BMX bicycle. I advised this
information to dispatch, then appraoched the two individuals, getting onto my PA
System on my patrol vehicle and advised the individuals "Stop right
there". Both individuals looked at me, then the individual on the bicycle fled the
scene.

I activated my emergency overhead ligts, and audible siren while again announcing
over the pa sytem "Police, stop the bicycle now".I pursed the individual into the 600 W.
block of Oregon where the biclyclist crashed his bicyle then attempted to flee on foot. I
exited my marked cruiser, advising "Stop, you're under arrest!" and began my foot
pursuit in an attempt to catch the suspect. The suspect
fled about half a block east on the south portion of the sidewalk of Oregon when he
then stopped and began turning around. At this time the suspect was escorted to the
ground by myself and placed into handcuffs (double locked and properly gapped).

Ptl. Caughey STPD #377 arrived on scene to assist me as I sat the suspect up onto
his feet. I asked the suspect for his name, who stated he was "Taylor". I then asked
Taylor if he needed to see EMS for any injuries, which Taylor denies any injuries.
Taylor was advised of his Miranda rights, then placed into the back of my marked
cruiser. A pat down was conducted from Ptl. Caughey, discovery of an empty was on
his person.

Myself and Ptl. Caughey searched the surrounding area for any evidence left behind,
to which none was discovered. I then loaded the bicycle into the cruiser, along with
Taylors property.

Upon arrival at station, I escorted Taylor into the squad room, releasing him from
handcuffs and advising him of his Miranda rights. I then asked Taylor who the other
two guys were, to which he responds "I don't know, I just met them today while I was
riding home from Circle K". I then asked Taylor what his drug of choice was to which
he responds "Methamphetamine". I asked Taylor what was inside the syringe and he
responds "it was used for my mothers insulin but I shot up with it about 4 hours ago".

Taylor appeared visibly in pain from his shoulder, and i advised if he was okay. Taylor
advised me "my shoulder popped out of socket a while ago and hasn't been right
since".

Taylor was observed walking with a limp. Dispatch advised they would get EMS
enroute when I observed these issues to check Taylor for possible injuries suffered
during the foot pursuit. Dispatch also advised Taylor had an active warrant out of
Summit County.

I advised we would have charges on him as well. EMS arrived on scene and medically
cleared Taylor. Taylor asked for a glass of water, and I obliged, grabbing him a glass of
cold tap water, Upon completion of paperwork I loaded Taylors belongings into my
cruiser, then placed Taylor into the back seat. I then began transportation to MCJ,
ensuring Taylor was placed in a safety belt before transporting.

Part-way through transporting Taylor, I received a call from DO Wheeler advising me
MCJ won't accept Taylor with the charges I had on him. I then asked DO Wheeler to
check on the hit for the warrant when I returned back to station. Upon arrival to station,
DO Wheeler gave me papework for Taylor's Warrant, advising we had to transport
Taylor to MCJ to have him extradited to Summit County Jail. I then began my second
transportation to MCJ.

I placed Taylor in a safety belt as before, handcuffed Taylor ensuring they were
Gapped and Double Locked then left for MCJ. Upon arrival at MCJ I advised the jail of
the warrant as well as our charges.

Taylor was processed, and I cleared without further incident.

On 06-76-2020 at 23:50 hours, I was canductlng traffic enforcement in marked unit
303. While patrolling northbound on S. Johnson road near Tennessee Avenue, I
observed three subjects on bicycles without lights turn from S. Johnson Road onto W.
California Avenue before beginning westbound. I then activated my overhead
emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop, with all three subjects stopping in the 700
block of W. Celifornia Avenue. I then exited my patrol car and informed the three of the
reason for the stop. I also at this point noticed that a subject on one of the bicycles had
what appeared to be a small flashlight taped to the handlebars, but it appeared to be
dangling and not directed in one consistent direction so as to make it visible from the
front and sides.

The subjects were identified as Noah McCammon, Matthew Thurman, and Brandon
Fall. Brandon was on the bicycle with the makeshift light with neither Matthew nor
Noah having any illumination on theirs. Sgt.Kelm arrived to my location arround this
time with me also relaying the three subject's information to dispatch. None of the
three returned with any acitive warrants. In speaking further with the three l asked if
any of them had anything illegal oh them. Brandon admitted to having marijuana and
two knives on him and began reaching in his pdckets. I then asked Brandon if he
would step off the bike and if I could pat him down. Brandon consented and stepped of
the bicycle with me asking him where the marijuana was and if he had anything else
illegal on him. Brandon then informed me that he had a glass pipe in his pocket as
well. When asked if it was for using methamphetamine, he said that it was with him
also telling me that he had meth in his pocket as well.

I then removed Brandon's backpack from him and placed him in handcuffs, which were
properly spaced and double locked. A subsequent search of Brandon's pockets found
what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette, a mint container with several small baggies
containing a light-colored crystalline substance, as well as a glass pipe.

bottle containing a green-vegatative substance that smelled to be marijuana, a "dab"
pen along with several cartridges, several mirrors with residue of a light colored
crystalline substance on them , two more glass pipes, a marijuana "grinder", a

ARREST: Haley Howard

Fourth Degree Felony Count of Theft from the elderly (ORC 2913.02)

On Friday September 11, 2020 at 1615 hours I spoke with Sally Howard and Ashley
from Huntington Bank who stated that she is missing $2,961 dollars from her account
which had drained all of her savings and caused her account to be over drawn.
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. A
subpoena to cash app for the account information of Haley Howard to see if the money
was sent to a bank account or is still in her cash app account.

Huntington Bank is filing a claim with thier investigative unit.

Patrolman Zachery Van Voorhis Unit #512

On 10-01-2020, I met with Huntington Bank Branch Service Manager, Ashley Mutchler,
at the Sebring Huntington Bank branch. Mutchler was able to provide me with a
document showing activity on Sally Howards bank account where a phone number
had been changed as well as where the email address xxx@starkstate.net had been
added. 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.

After Haley finished her witness statement, I asked Haley how much maney she
receives monthly on her Direct Express card for her son. Haley said that she received
about $141.00 a month in benefits. 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 if she had made any efforts to hide that she had been with
drawing money from her grandmothers account she said that she had not. 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. I then gave the witness statement back to her, with her adding what she had
told me.

Before I left Haley agreed that she would keep the peace with her grandrnqther and
that she no longer had access to her grandmothers banking information, I then cleared
from the interview with nothing additional to report at this time. This case will be
forwarded to Prosecutor Van Bricklin for consideration of charges.

On 10-07-2020 at 12:50 hours. I took Haley Howard into custody at her residence,
located at 625 W. Maryland Avenue. Haley was charged with a fourth degree felony
count of theft from the elderly (ORC 2913.02). It was also found that Howard had an
active bench warrant for her arrest for failure to comply with the requirements of her
probation.

Upon taking Howard into custody, she was secured in handcuffs, which were properly
gapped and double locked. Haley was also searched incident to arrest. Due to
Howard's grandmother being the only adult present at the time she was taken into
custody, her mother, Kathy Howard, was called to the residence to take custody of ,
Howard's two children,

..... the custody transfer was approve by Mahoning County Child Protective Services

Once at the police station Howard was photographed, her DNA collected, and she was
processed for transport to the Mahoning CauntyJail.

Upon arriving to the jail, Howard was refused due to her heart rate being too high and
her profusely sweating. On the way to Mercy Health St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Howard
did admit to me that she took a pill capsule containing methamphetamine and
Adderall. Howard said that she did this as I was knocking on the door to her residence.

It should be noted that her son xxxx would have been present at this time.

Once at the hospital, Howard was treated in the Emergency Department by Dr. Donley,
with her making statements in his presence to the effect of "I'm high was fuck". Howard
also later made statements that she looked out the window, seen my patrol car, and
decided to take the methamphetamine so as not to be caught with it. Once Howard
was medically cleared from the hospital, she was transported to The Mahoning County
jail. Nothing additional to report at this time.

high beams on. As I turned onto West Courtney, the vehicle cleared the stop sign
without dimming its headlights and the vehicle proceeded to approach my patrol
vehicle at a rapid pace. The vehicle came so close to my cruiser that I was unable to
see the headlights of the vehicle from my rear view mirror.

As we crossed the tracks, the vehicle still maintained a very close distance to my

pass in a safe manner, then turned back onto the roadway and re-approached the
vehicle from behind, I then activated my emergency overhead lights and audible siren

Following Narative by Officer Marchionda #505

While conducting traffic enforcement on N Johnson Rd at W Ohio Ave, Patrolman
Melendez and I observed a vehicle lacking rear license plate illumination heading east
on W Ohio Ave. After turning east onto W Ohio Ave after the vehicle, we observed the
vehicle briefly go left of center in the 600 block of W Ohio Ave. I activated my overhead
emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. 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. It was also during this time I observed a wallet in
the driver side door pocket with an Ohio driver's license in the front clear pocket. Upon
retrieving the wallet, I observed the picture on the license to match the driver and ran
the license number through dispatch.

I was advised by dispatch Justin's driving status was failure to reinstate. Patrolman
Melendez ran Logan's license through dispatch and was advised his driving status was
suspended. During the course of our investigation, Logan gave off a strong odor of an
alcoholic beverage while Justin gave off a mild odor.

A strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was also coming from XXXX. An open 24oz
can of Twisted Tea was observed sitting within close proximity of where XXXX was
sitting in the van.

Due to all three occupants appearing impaired and the adults not having valid licenses,
a tow truck was summoned to the scene to remove the vehicle from the roadway.
Logan was secured in the backseat of marked unit #302, XXXX in the backseat of
#301 and Justin in the backseat of #304.

Following an administrative vehicle inventory, officers located several blue N2o
cartridges. Justin was informed he was under arrest for endangering children, would
receive a citation for open container and informed of his Miranda Rights. Justin stated
he understood his rights and advised he was not willing to waive them to make a
statement. Logan was informed he was under arrest for endangering children, would
be issued citation for open container and informed of his Miranda Rights. Logan stated
he understood his rights end advised he was willing to cooperate to go home.

Given Justin's behavior and condition in addition to the discovery of the N20 carttidges.
I requested dispatch to see if a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) was available for an
evaluation.

Dispatch advised a DRF with the Ohio State Highway Patrol would be en route to the
Sebring Police Department from the Lisbon Post.

XXXX was infomed he was under arrest for underage consumption of alcohol,
underage possession/use of tobacco and would receive a citation for open container.
Patrolman Melendez informed me he was going to speak with Logan since he
appeared to be the most cooperative. After speaking with Logan, Patrolman Melender
advised Logan waived Miranda and admitted all three males had been drinking for
several hours.

Springers arrived on scene and removed the vehicle from the roadway. All three
occupants were subsequently transported from the scene to the Sebring Police
Department for processing.

Upon arrival, Logan was placed in the lntoxilyzer room while XXXXX and Justin were
placed in the audio/video recorded squad room. XXXX and Justin were taken out of
handcuffs at this time. Dispatch advised Trooper Myers was on the phone and wanted
to speak with me.

After a brief conversation with Trooper Myers, I asked Justin if he was willing to
perform field sobriety tests and submit to a chemical breath test. Justin promptly
refused to perform SFSTs and provide a chemical breath test. I updated Trooper Myers
and was advised since Justin refused SFSTs and a breath test, a DRE would not be
needed and that my obsewations on scene would be enough to effect an QVI charge.

I provided Justin with an Ohio BMV 2255 and read the back of the form to him. I asked
Justin if he understood what I read to him and if he was willing to submit to a chemical
test. Justin stated he understood what was read to him and refused to submit to a
chemical test, I promptly seized Justin's license and informed him he was now under
an administrative license suspension and was prohibited from operating a motor
vehicle going forward. Sergeant Kelm provided his signature for having witnessed the
reading of the 2255 to Justin.

XXXX was allowed to phone his father, Kevin Franko, to pick him up from the station. I
spoke to Kevin on the phone and explained the charges against XXXX. Kevin advised
he would be on his way. I asked Justin If he wanted to make a phone call to get a ride
and he advised he and XXXX were brothers and he would hopefully go with him.

Logan and Justin were photographed and fingerprinted. ,Justin provided his signature
on the 2255 and was provided with his copy. Justin was Issued traffic citation #031925
(QRC 4511.19A1A, 4511.19A2, 4510.21, 4511.33 and 4513.05). Justin, Logan and
XXXX were all provided with minor misdemeanor citations for ORC 4301.62 Open
Container.

I provided Justin and Logan with recognizance of the accused forms and informed
them they would be contacted by Mahoning County Court #3 at a later date to
schedule their appearances in court.

Justin and Logan signed their recognizance forms and were given a copy. I informed
XXXX his charges (ORC 1301.62,1301.69E1 and 2151.87) would be forwarded to the
Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown and they would be in contact with his
parents at a later date.

Logan was released to his fiancee and Justin was allowed to wait in ihe lobby. XXXX
was kept in the audio/video recorded squad room where he fell asleep. Kevin and
Claudia Franko arrived at the station and were briefly informed of the charges against
Justin and XXXX . Kevin and Claudia were informed JJC would be contacting them at
a later date reference XXXX charges. Claudia signed a juvenile release to parents
form. was provided a copy and XXXX released to her and Kevin's custody.

Any property seized from XXXX, Justin and Logan following their arrests were
subsequently returned upon their release.

CITED: Catherine Smith , Age 65, 170 W. Vine Street Alliance, OH

Charge: SCO 313.01 Obedience To Traffic Control Devices

On 09-30-2020 at 12:46 hours, I responded to a report of a two-car motor vehicle
accident (MVA) at the intersection of N. Johnson Road and W. Ohio Avenue. Upon
arrival, I observed a light blue Subaru Forester (Ohio Registration GDG 8540) sitting in
the intersection. I also observed a Silver GMC Terrain (Ohio Registration HSN 2710)
pulled over along the side of N. Johnson Road. Both vehicles had moderate front end
damage, Ptl. 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. Because the damage to the Forester did not appear to be fully disabling,
I instructed Smith to pull the vehicle over onto the shoulder of Johnson Road. Once
Smith did so, I asked her what had happened.

Smith said that while traveling westbound on W. Ohio Avenue she did not stop for the
four-way stop in time, resulting in her striking the other vehicle. I then provided with her
vehicle registration, driver license, as well as an Erie Insurance card that proved that
she had valid insurance on her vehicle.

Sebring Fire/EMS arrived on scene at around this time and began assessing all
involved patties, with all three refusing further medical intervention.

After speaking with Smith and Hoy, I made contact with the driver of the GMC Terrain,
Lynne Alesi. In speaking with Alesi she said that she was traveling northbound on N.
Johnson Road when she came to the intersection. Alesi said that she stopped, looked
both ways for cross traffic, and then proceeded through the intersection before being
struck by Smith's vehicle. Alesi as well was able to provide me with her driver license,
vehicle registration, and an insurance card from Home-Owners Insurance Company
proving that she had valid insurance on the vehicle. Alesi also denied injury.

I then returned to my patrol car and wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 031899 to
Smith. I cited Smith for Obedience to traffic control devices (Sebring Codified
Ordnance 313.01) Smith, then signed the citation, was given her copy, as well as
advised to contact the court for information on how to either pay the citation or for
information on how to contest it if she wished to do so.

Charges:

ORC 4511.12 Obedience to Traffic Control Device

ORC 4511. 19A1A OVI (Officer Observations)

ORC 4511.19A1H OVI (0.17<)

While sitting on N 15th St at W Ohio Ave facing north, I observed a dark green vehicle
proceed through the functioning flashing light from the east without stopping. 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 given his property back that was taken off his person earlier
during the traffic stop.

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.

lights activated as well as audible siren, the truck continued on for approximately 1/2
mile on Courtney Rd. before coming to a stop.

Upon approaching the gray F- 150, bearing Ohio Registration GFM2153, I made

registration, as well as proof of insurance, The driver was able to produce all three
requested documents, with his Ohio Drive License identifying him as Leonard McAfee.

I then asked McAfee if he were aware of his speed. McAfee said that he was not and
that his truck can be going much faster than he believes and him not even notice.
When I asked McAfee why it took him so Iong to stop and if he seen me behind him
with my lights activated, McAfee said that he did see me behind him but was not sure if
I was trying to stop him or someone else.

I then returned to my patrol car and wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 029060 to

unusually long time to stop. McAfee said that he had not.

It should,also be noted that McAfee's speech was not slurred, he did not appear
disheveled, his eyes were clear, and I did not detect any signs of impairment.

Upon noticing this, I activated my overhead emergency lights, with the vehicle pulling
into the driveway of 185 E. Oregon Avenue and stopping. I then approached the Silver
Grand Am, which had Ohio temporary tag K593579 attached and made contact with
the male driver, who I know to be Larry Gibbons-Rhodes. Makayla Tarbet was also in
the front passenger seat.

I informed Larry of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license,
vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Larry was unable to provide me with his
dtiver license but I was positive on his identity based upon prior encounters. In
speaking further with Larry, I asked him if there was any weapons or drugs in the
vehicle that I needed to concern myself with. I noticed at this point that Larry broke eye
contact and appeared very nervous.

Ptl. Stanton arrived at around this time with me requesting an open-air sniff be
conducted using K9, Radar. Stanton then approached the driver side of the vehicle
and made contact with Larry, asking him if he would consent to a search of the vehicle,
Larry said that he would, with both he and Makayla then stepping out of the vehicle
and joining be near the trunk. Ptl. Russell also arrived at this time. As I spoke with
Larry, I noticed the strong odor of marijuana emanating from his person. When I
confronted Larry with this, Larry said that he did have a glass "bowl" and that when I
had stopped him, he placed it in his girlfriends' purse. Makayla then said that she had it
on her person, having retrieved it after Larry did this. Larry said that he did not have
any further contraband on him and he did consent to a search of his person with
nothing further being located. Ptl. Stanton also found no further contraband during his
search of the vehicle.

I then returned to my patrol car and wrote Uniform Traffic Citation 031900 to Larry for
Sebring Codified Ordnance 337.04 (Tail Lights; Illumination of Rear License Plate).
Larry was also given a minor misdemeanor citation for Sebring Codified Ordnance
513.121 (Marijuana Paraphernalia). Larry signed both citations, was given his copies,
and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for further information of case
proceedings.

All units then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time.

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.

Case No.: 20009063 

CRIMINAL

ARREST: William Dawson , age 52, 205 E Pennsylvania Ave, Sebring, OH

Charges: 
ORC 2903.11 Felonious Assault F-2

ORC 2923.13 Having Weapons While Under Disability F-3

ORC 2919.25  Domestic Violence M-1

On Saturday, September 12, 2020, officers from the Sebring and Smith Township 
Police Departments responded to a report of domestic violence involving a firearm in 
the 200 block of E. 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. 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. 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. Marchionda #505

Officers expedited expedited an emergency response to the scene.  Upon my arrival I 
observed Officer Marchionda escorting a female behind his marked patrol,car unit

took cover behind my parked patrol car unit #301 as well as Officer Marchionda due to 
being advised the suspect was still in the residence with a loaded shot gun and was 
highly intoxicated. The weapons were pointed at the house. I then used the PA system 
from marked patrol car unit #301 to make contact with the suspect, William Dawson.

As Smith Township Officer Caghey arrived on scene William Dawson emerged from 
the east side of the residence with his arms up in the air and his hands visible. Dawson 
was then ordered to keep his hands up and walk backwards toward the voices of the 
officers. I kept my weapon drawn on Dawson as well as Smith Township while officer 
Marchionda switched to less lethal weapon the taser X26P. I then ordered Dawson to 
place his hands behind his back while I then placed him in handcuffs,  (gapped/double 
locked).

residence and it was secured in marked patrol car unit #304. I was also advised he 
observed and secured a butterfly knife on the east side of the residence where William 
came out of.

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. 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. 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.

Charge: SCO 505,01(b) Dogs Running at Large - Female

Upon arrival, I was unable to locate any dogs running at large in the 100 block of E
Georiga Ave, E Florida Ave, and the alley in between both streets. Some time later, I
was informed four dogs were seen running at large and all four had been caught. It
was learned two of the dogs may belong to 135 E Florida Ave. I arrived at 135 E
Florida Ave, knocked on the door and announced myself., It appeared no one was
home but it sounded like there were dogs inside the residence; I also observed the
front window of the residence to be damaged and the exterior window screen was
ripped facing outwards.

An adult female, identified as Amber Horning, came walking down E Flarida Ave from
S 15th St with two dogs on a leash. Horning stated she thinks the dogs belong to 135
E Florida,Ave but was not sure because they did not have tags. Horning also advised
two other dogs were caught by a juvenile male and taken back to a house on S 15th St
at W Florida Ave. Since the two dogs Horning had control of did not have tags, I
informed dispatch to contact the Mahoning County Dog Warden to come and collect
the dogs from Horning.

After speaking with Horning, I arrived at 368 S 15th St and spoke with the female
resident there. While speaking to her, I observed a shattered window on the south
side of the residence and was informed their dogs broke through to get at the other
dogs. I informed the resident at 308 S 15th St she'would not receive a letter or citation
since the dogs managed to break through a closed window.

After clearing the area and returning to station, I was informed the two dogs without
tags did in fact belong to 135 E Florida Ave and the owner, Roxanna Fotheringham,
was on her way home. When I arrived at 135 E Florida Ave, I was greeted by Jessica
Fotheringham who stated the dogs got out through the front window. I asked Jessica
why the dogs did not have tags and she replied they did. They are in the house but
have not been put on yet.

Roxanna arrived home and I explained she would be receiving a minor misdemeanor
citiation for the dogs rurlning at large. Roxanna stated both dogs are females and are
in heat that is why they got out and must have broke through the front window to do
so. Due to Roxanna recently undergoing surgery, I allowed her to go into her residence
and gave the minor misdemeanor citation to Jessica. I informed both Roxanna and
Jessica the charge and due to COVID-79 restrictions, the court would call at a later
date to schedule an appearance. Roxanna Fotheringham was charged with SCO

On arrival, I and Ptl Reed was met with the caller,Pamela Fitzpatrick, who stated to
both units that, her son Jerry Fitzpatrick was upstairs in the residence and was
"starting to turn blue". Officers responded with an AED ready and available to use.
Approaching the father of Jerry I observed a white male who was not responding to
any of my commands and whose face was blue, with very short and exasperated
breaths that appeared to be a sign of near death. 0fficers began placing the AED
pads in the proper locations on Jerrys chest as I attempted to feel for a radial pulse.
When I determined there was no pulse present, I then powered the AED on. l advised
Pt. Reed to stay clear of Jerry until the AED has finished analyzing Jerrys heart beat,
and stattes to start CPR. Ptl Reed administered Jerry with Narcan. one 8mg via nasal
cavity. I advised dispatch to have Sebring EMS to "Step it up" as this being a life
threatening situation.

The AED states to start CPR and Ptl. Reed began chest compressions. Approximately
1 minute later I reassessed Jerrys' pulse and was able to get a distal pulse on Jerry
that was weak but present. Jerry's respirations were becoming slightly more organized
but was still making a "snoring" noise.

Ptl Reed then grabbed a bag valve mask and began giving Jerry rescue breaths in an
attempt to provide quality oxygen to Jerry.

Upon Sebring EMS's arrival on scene I asked the famile members to step into another
room as medics accessed Jerry's condition. Jerry was beginning to have a flushed
appearance returned to his face and his pulse was strong and regular. Medics placed
a monitor device onto Jerry to ascertain his condition.

As Ptl Reed spoke with family members In the other room and EMS looked over Jerry,
I observed in plain view a glass device used ta smoke drug paraphernalia "bong",
along with a marijuana "pipe" and several drug instruments. I collected these as
evidence to log. Medics administered a second nasal 2mg dose to Jerry at this time.
Sebring EMS personnel loaded Jerry orlto a patient carrying device and I assisted in
moving Jerry downstairs where additional medical personnel waited to assist to the
ambulance. I returned upstairs and as both units were cleaning up the scene and
investigating the scene for further evidence an open side door was noted with a small
box, and a UV Light hanging above the box.

Inside said box were several plant of a green leafy substance and several drug
instraments and paraphernalia surrounding the area. I called in supervisor Sgt. Kelm
#503 to the scene to request guidance on what to do with the evidence. It was
determined all evidence would be collected. Upon further investigation several locked
boxes were discovered along with shotgun shells. a shotgun, a bolt action rifle . Sgt.
Kelm determined all weapons would be collected for safekeeping along with a
paraphernalia for evidence. Jerrys daughter was at the time living in the same
residence where the paraphernalia was as well.

Evidence and weapons were stowed in marked cruiser #304 and brought back to
station for logging.

On 08-28-2020 at 23:47 hours Units responding to a medical emergency a W. Ohio
Avenue. The initial 911 caller reported that a 40-year-old male subject was tuning blue,
making noises, and foaming at the mouth. Upon arriving to the address, Ptl. Peterman
and I made contact with a Pam Fitzpatrick in the front yard of the house. Pam advised
that her son was In an upstairs bedroom and was not breathing. Upon hearing this I
retrieved the A.E.D., Narcan, and ambu bag from the back of car 304.

Once inside the bedroom, we found Jerry Fitzpatrick Jr. laying on his back on the floor
of the room. Jerry was blue in color and did not appear to be breathing. His father,
Jerry Fitzpatrick, was slttlng on the bed in the room and said that he had attempted
CFR prior to our arrival. I also at this' point asked both Jerry Sr and Pam if their son
had a history of drug abuse. Pam did advise that Jerry had I been a drug user in the
past but was supposed to have stopped using. At this point I deployed the department
Issued Narcan, using one 4mg unit in each nostril while Ptl Peterman placed the
A.E,,D. pads on Jerry's chest. It was also noted by Ptl. Peterman at this point that he
could not locate a pulse using Jerry's left wrist. The A.E.D. also advised that m shock
was needed. I then began CPR using the department issued ambu bag.

Several seconds later Jerry began to breath, with Ptl. Peterrnan also locating a pulse.
Jerry's breathing was very labored with him stoppingseveral times and me having to
again use the ambu bagi. Sebring Fire Department then arrived with paramedic Wayne
Bailey taking over. I then went into another bedroom where I spoke with Pam and Jerry
Sr as well as Jerry jr's daughter. In speaking with,Pam and Jerry Sr.,I was advised
that they had received a phone call from Jerry's wife, Ellen Fitzpatrick with her saying
that something is wrong with Jerry and that she was leaving for work. Pam said that
she and her husband then drove to the residence from theirs in Leetonia with them
finding Jerry laying on the floor of the bedroom struggling to breath.

Jerry Jr. was then taken to Alliance Community Hospital for treatment. A check of the
area where Jerry had been laying located numerous instruments of drug abuse
including a bong and a bag containing marijuana pipes. A small gun safe was located.
Inside the closet of the bedroom was a marijuana grow with three growing plants, a
grow light, harvested marijuana as well as harvested plants that were sitting in a
cardboard box. Upon locating these items I requested Sgt. Kelm to respond to our
location. Also, in the closet was an AR-15 style seml-automatic 12-gauge shotgun and
a bolt-action .22 rifle. The drug related items were seized and the firearms taken for
safe keeping.

In speaking with she made statements about her dad having used what she called
"bad drugs" that made him sleepy while they were in Tennessee last month. I then
made contact with Nicole Ware, of Mahoning County Child protective services and
made her aware of the situation.

Units then cleared from the call with nothing additional to report at this time. A copy of
thls report will be forwarded to the prosecutor for review and possible charges.

On 08-30-2020 at approximately 6:25 hours, Ellen Fitzpatrick arrived on station to
discuss the apparent overdose that occurred at her house on 08-28-2020. Upon
making contact with Ellen, I introduced myself by name and position before escorting
her to the squad room. Once in the squad room I again explained to Ellen why I
wanted to speak to her as well as made in clear to her that she was not under arrest. I
did however read Ellen her Miranda rights, with her advising that she understood them
and was still wilting to speak to me regarding the incident.

Ptl. Reed #507

When I asked Ellen what had happened she said that she and her husband had been
smoking marijuana at their house at around 10:30pm. Ellen said that afterwards her
husband began to make snoring noises while laying on the edge of the bed. Ellen said
that she then moved him to the floor, checked his breathing, and at one point
attempted to perform CPR but stopped because he was breathing. Ellen said she then
called Jerry's parents, Jerry Sr, and Pam Fitzpatrick, before she rolled him over on his
side and left for work. When I asked what Jerry was possibly overdosing on Ellen said
that they believe that they had got marijuana that had been laced with Fetanyl. Ellen
did not provide intormation on where the marijuana came from.

Ellen did acknowledge that she left their six-year old daughter with Jerry while he was
suffering from a apparent overdose with her saying that she was very nervous during
the ordeal. Ellen provided me with a voluntary witness statement before departing
from the police station. Nothing additional to report at this time.

Ptl Reed #507

On Sunday, September 6,2020, Patrolmen Marchionda and Van Voorhis apprehended
Ellen and Jerry Fitzpatrick at their residence, 606 W Ohio Ave. Both parties were
placed in handcuffs behind their back (Gapped/double locked) and Ellen was placed in
marked unit #301 while Jerry was placed in marked unit #304. I read Jerry his Miranda
Rights on scene and he acknowledged his rights. Both parties were transported from
the scene to the Sebring Police Department for processing.

Upon arrival, Jerry and Ellen were separated with Jerry being placed in the audio/video
recorded squad room and Ellen being placed in the intoxilyzer room. Both parties
were taken out of handcuffs. Their warrants were read to them and served. I read
Ellen her Miranda Rights which she acknowledged and invoked her rights. Ellen
provided the combinations to both safes secured by Patrolmen Reed and Peterman
the night of the initial incident and signed a permission to search waiver. Jerry provided
the security diagram code to the phone also secured the night of the initial incident and
signed a permission to search waiver.

Jerry and Ellen were given opportunities to place phone calls to family to arrange for
bond to be posted at a later time. Jerry and Ellen were both photographed and since
this was Ellens first time being arrested on a felony charge a buccal DNA sample was
retrieved. Ellen performed a pat down of her person using a flashlight on camera and
both parties were subsequently place back in handcuffs behind their back
(gapped/double loced) . Patrolman Van Voorhis transported both parties to the
Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown.

Case NO.: 20008131

CRIMINAL - Endangering Children

ARREST: 34y/o Nicole Cutlip , 305 E Maryland Ave, Sebring, OH

Charge: ORC 2919.22 Endangering Children (M-1) / Bond $1,250

While leaving Sebring Manor at 216 W Ohio Ave. I observed Noah Cutlip (10-11 YOA)
running north across W Ohio Ave. Noah, who is known by officers of the Sebring
Police Department to be autistic, has walked and ran off from both his grandmother
and mother at least a dozen times in the last 2-3 weeks. 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. I informed Alice that she and Nicole are adults and are responsible for Noah when
he is in their custody. I reiterated they need to take extra care and precautions
because of Noah's autism. Alice stated Nicole is off from work today and has been
unreachable by phone.

A check of records dating back to August 7, 2020 shows this has been an ongoing
problem. Refer to report #20008032, #20008034, CAD #20-0000005760, report
#20008036, report #20008043,CAD #20-0000005767,and report #20008086 for
additional information on incidents similar to today. As a result of this departments
constant response to locate and recover Noah, and after consulting with the
prosecutor's office, I will be filing charges against Alice Rinehart and Nicole Cutlip.

State Complaints for ORC 2919.22 Endangering Children (M-1) will be drafted and
submitted to Mahoning County Court #3. A call was placed to Mahoning County
Children Service's and Candice Beaumont, a caseworker currently working an open
case on Noah, was apprised of the situation.

Patrolman D,A. Marchionda #505

On Friday, August 21, 2020, a summons for Alice Rinehart and a summons for Nicole
Cutlip were obtained from Mahoning County Court #3. Rinehart and Cutlip were both

asked for his driver license. The driver said that he did not have a driver license and
then gave me an Ohio Identification Card that identified him as Maquez McLendon.
After confirming through dispatch that McLendon was in fact suspended, I returned to

cited for driving under suspension (ORC 4510.11), as well as Tail light: illumination of
rear license plate (SCO: 337.04).

to provide proof of insurance on the vehicle, that was registered to a Brittany M Jarvis.

After concluding an administrative inventory of the vehicle, Sebring Tire arrived to tow
it to their impound lot. McLendon then signed the citation, was given his copy, as well
as instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for further instructions on the case.
