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.

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

Charges:
ORC: 4503.11 Expired Registration
ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension(Non-Compliance)
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.
Sebring Tire then arrived on scene and towed the vehicle to their impound lot.

Richards said that she had allowed Nicholson and Lawson to stay in her apartment
but she wanted them to leave. I then went into the bedroom to speak with
Nicholson and Lawson while Pt. Brindack spoke with Richards.

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

Upon arrival I made contact with the suspect James Kaminski, 806 W. Ohio Ave.
James put his hands out in front of him and said "ok, lets go I want to go to
the county jail". I advised James I would like to talk about what happened.
James began to cry and stated it was all over and he was just ready to go to
jail. James also stated he had a warrant for his arrest. At this time had James
put his hands behind his back and placed him in handcuffs (gapped and double
locked). At this time Pt, Russell arrived on scene. I then went inside to make
contact with the victim, 306 W. Indiana Ave. Victim stated that a man whom he
had never met walked up behind him, hit him in the head, pulled him off his
stool, and began to cuss at him. Victim stated he had never scene the man before
and didn't even speak to him before the incident. I then had Victim fill out a
sworn statement stating what he told me.
I spoke to the bar tender who stated she wanted to sign a Notice of Restriction
and did not want James back in the establishment. Rachel also stated she would
get me a copy of the camera footage from the incident. I then went back out to

Upon arrival at the station Ptl. Russell advised me that James had been becoming
increasing agitated. James was brought into the squad room while I completed my

and started yelling at Ptl. Russell and I. James then began to state he was
going to spit in my face and called me a "nigger" several times stating I
wouldn't make it in the hood. James also ensured we were aware he had been to
prison.
After completing my paperwork I stood up to retrieve it from the printer and
James attempted to spit in my face. At this time Ptl. Russell pushed him away
from me and blocked his mouth with her hand to keep him from being able to spit.
We then walked James out to the cruiser where he refused to get into the back
seat so Ptl., Russell and I had to push him in and close the door. PtI. Russell
then began transporting James to the Mahoning County Jail. Only minutes after
leaving the station Ptl. Russell contacted dispatch and advised James had been
kicking the rear door of the cruiser attempting to escape. I advised Ptl.
Russell to stay where she was and I would respond. I then made my way to 5th St.
and Main St. where Ptl. Russell had stopped. Ptl. Russell advised he had stopped
kicking at that time and she just wanted to continue the transport to get him to
the jail.
James was transported to Mahoning County Jail for one count of Assault

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

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

asking all three involved parties.
In speaking with Woodburn, he told me that he had been driving northbound on

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

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

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

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

while at his residence at 171915 Mill St in Beloit he woke up to a Text from his
bank stating that he used his card at Circle K located at 205 E Ohio Ave at 4:03
am in the amount of $42.98. After noticing that message he then walked out of
his residence to check his vehicle and he noticed his door was open and his
wallet was also open with his credit and debit card missing.
I then asked Earnest if his vehicle was unlocked and he stated that it was
because he didn't think to lock his car since he lives in Beloit. Earnest

On 01/11/2022 this unit observed 2 individuals sitting on a bench in the South
Side Park after dark.
Officer Ray #508 01/11/2022
On 01/11/2022, I, Officer Ray, was patrolling west Texas near the South Side
Park, when I observed a male walking through the grass.
2 weeks prior I observed the same male walking through the park. The male was
wearing a very distinct winter jacket, that I was able to identify both times.
The jacket has a triangle geometric pattern with red, white, and blue colors. I
turned my cruiser around in the parking lot for the tennis court.
I observed the male sitting on a picnic table with another individual. I stopped
my cruiser in front of the community center.
As I exited my cruiser I heard the male yell something to me, but I was unable
to make out what was said. As I approached the two individuals they stood up
from the bench, and approached me. The male asked me "is there any place we can
go that is not the park. She works at Copeland, and I meet her on breaks".
I stated to them that there is not too many places they can meet. I stated to
the male that the two of them were trespassing, and that if everything came back
ok I would let them sit at the park. At this point I asked them both if they had
a drivers license. Both stated no. I asked the male if he knew what his social
was. He gave me his social, but was very hesitant to provide that information.
His tone of voice, and body language made me suspicious. The male provided his
name as Daniel Allmon. Next I asked the female for her social.
Without hesitation she provided the numbers plus her name, Caitlin Stump. Due to
not being able to run socials over the radio I had to return to my cruiser to
retrieve my phone. After retrieving my phone I contacted dispatch.
Due to the fact that the bench they were sitting at plus the distance I was away
from the individuals I did not observe Daniel walking into the woods.
Dispatch advised me that Daniel had a warrant out of Trumbull County, and that
they would take him. I approached the bench again, and observed only Caitlin
sitting there. Caitlin stated to me that Daniel had walked away stating "he said
he needed to pick his kids up." I asked Caitlin where he would be going, and she
stated "I don't know, Salem". At this point I advised dispatch that the male had
left. I requested assistance from Smith Township. We searched the area for
Daniel, but were unable to locate.
Sgt. Kelm had started his shift, and we met at Royal Star. I advised Sgt. Kelm
that the party possibly works at Copeland. Both units went to Copeland in an
attempt to locate her.
Upon our arrival we made contact with an employee at the front desk to Copeland.
She called the nursing stations, and she was able to locate the female at
Crandall. We went over to Crandall, and we located Caitlin on the second floor.
I asked Caitlin what she knew about Daniel, and she stated "not much". She
continued to state that they are dating, and that she has not seen him in
months. At this point I stated that I saw them both together 2 weeks ago. I
continued by asking what Daniel's address was. Caitlin stated that she did not
know. Realizing that Caitlin could / would not help us both units cleared.
Upon arriving back to Sebring PD it was made known to both units that Caitlin
and Daniel share a residence at 825 Wade Ave in alliance. While on station I ran
Daniel's social through OHLEG. I was able to see his BMV picture. and was able
to identify that it was in fact the male I made contact with in the park.
Nothing further at this time. On my next shift I will speak to the prosecutor
about getting warrants on Daniel for trespassing and obstruction.

Once I was able to get within approximately 15 feet of the vehicle, I was able

I then asked if she could fill out a statement while I went to her residence to
speak to her husband.
Upon arrival at the Durm residence 173 E Maryland Ave Benjamin walked out of his

CHARGES:
4511.22A Slow Speed - Impeding Traffic
4510.11A DUS (Court)
4503.11 Expired Registration
4549.08 Fictitious Tag
On 5/17/2022 at approx. 0145 1 observed a black Pontiac Torrent back out of a
driveway and head EB on RT. 62 in front of me between Johnson rd & 15th St.
The vehicle was traveling at a low speed for the roadway and when the driver
noticed me behind them they made an abrupt turn into a residence to the left
with little warning. The driver turned off all the lights on the vehicle.
I know the vehicle did not belong to that residence because I was just there
with Smith TWP the night prior.
The resident there has been having issues with another party so I called PTL.
Rhome of Smith TWP PD. I turned into Western Reserve Auto and observed the
vehicle back up with no lighting on except the brake lights and reverse lights.
They then turned the lights on and reversed into the roadway in front of another
vehicle traveling the speed limit (55 MPH). The vehicle was able to brake and
not strike the Pontiac. They headed WB back into the village limits on 62,
traveling 35 MPH in a 55 MPH zone obstructing traffic. I followed.
When the vehicle approached the parking lot of the Oak Ridge Motel, they slowed
to a near stop and made an abrupt turn into the parking lot and parked across
two spaces.
I initiated my emergency lights and pulled up behind the vehicle. The reverse
lights of the vehicle came on and the driver's door opened. I called for an
additional unit and PTL. Rhome responded. I ordered the driver back into the
vehicle twice as he argued stating he was just looking for a room.
Upon making a passenger side approach to the vehicle, I noticed the expiration
sticker did not look right on the vehicle. I spoke to the driver and passenger.
Their story did not add up about why they seemed to be attempting to evade me or
the slow speed. They stated they were lost looking for a place to stay when they
have established residency in Alliance and Canton.
PTL. Rhome arrived and he gathered information from the driver and passenger and
they advised they were both suspended. Due to the driver's (Jacob) driving
behavior and the odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle I asked him
to step out. He complied, stating that the passenger, (Morgan Thomas), was the
one that was drinking. He agreed to complete SFSTs.
I turned off the front facing flashing lights of my patrol car and completed
SFSTs with no signs of impairment.
After questioning who's vehicle it was and if they had the registration, they
stated they did not have the registration but it was Morgan's Father's vehicle.
The plate returned to Roger Thomas but it was expired and registered to a 2006
Ford which did not match. Upon closer inspection of the plate it was discovered
that the expiration sticker was homemade and hand written poorly.
The VIN number was then given to dispatch and it returned expired to the driver.
Springer's was notified to tow the vehicle.
The driver was cited for the slow speed, DUS, and the expired registration as
well as the fictitious plate.
An inventory was completed of the vehicle and was noted on a tow sheet, signed
by the tow operator.
The occupants were picked up by Roger Thomas.
After the vehicle was towed, I cleared.

Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked
speed of 52 MPH.
As the vehicle approached closer, I activated the patrol car's overhead

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

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

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

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.

here". I explained to him that the speed limit was clearly marked at 35 MPH, and
even if it was 40 MPH, he would still have been exceeding the speed limit by 12
MPH. I then requested his driver license, proof of insurance, as well as vehicle
registration. The driver was able to produce the requested documentation with
his Ohio Driver License showing him to be Dylan Jeffrey Joseph Householder.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032281. I cited Householder for speeding (SCO: 333.03), for going 52 in a marked
35 MPH zone. Upon returning to Householder's vehicle, he signed the citation,
was given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 within
the next several business days for instructions on how to pay for the citation
of contest it if he wished to do so.
Householder then asked if he could see a "readout on my radar". I allowed
Householder to follow me back to the patrol car to see the locked speed on my
in-car radar unit. I also offered to give him a tutorial on how exactly radar
works with him declining. He returned to his vehicle with me then clearing from
the stop.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

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.

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

Traffic - 500 Block N. 14th St. Sebring, OH
CITED: Eugene Dieffenbaugher, 45, 9532 Middlebranch Ave. NE Canton, OH
Charge: ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (OVI)
At 19:17 hours on 04-30-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While patrolling in the 300 block of E. Indiana Avenue, approaching the
intersection of N. 13th Street, I conducted a random registration check on a
white Pontiac G6, bearing Ohio Registration HQB 8090, that was traveling in
front of me. Immediately after relaying the vehicle's information, I noted that
it failed to signal within 100 feet of turning at the intersection of E. Indiana
Avenue and N. 141h Street. This being as the vehicle made a right turn at that
intersection.
Upon seeing this, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and
initiated a traffic stop. I was also advised by dispatch at this time that the
vehicle was registered to a Eugene K. Dieffenbaugher, whose driving status was
suspended and who had an active warrant out of Stark County. The suspension was
an OVI suspension and that warrant was for county of want only.
The vehicle came to a stop on N. 14th Street at E. Virginia Avenue. Upon
approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver, who identified himself
as Eugene Dieffenbaugher. I informed Oieffenbaugher of the reason for the
traffic stop as well as asked him to turn the vehicle off and exit.
Dieffenbaugher complied with this request, with him also allowing me to pat him
down and search his pockets. No weapons or contraband was located during this
search.
I then requested Dieffenbaugher's driver license and proof of insurance, with
him telling me that he did not have insurance on the vehicle and also didn't
have a driver license card.
I then instructed Dieffenbaugher to remain outside of the vehicle, while I
returned to my patrol car to write his citation. Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032278 was then issued to Dieffenbaugher, who was cited for driving under
suspension (OVI). Diefenbaugher signed the citation, was given his copy, and
informed of his mandatory court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00
on May 05,2022.
Sebring Tire was then called, with an inventory of the vehicle being performed.
No items of value were located. Due to Dieffenbaugher driving while under an OVI
suspension, a hold was placed on the vehicle until his court appearance, with
him being informed of this. Diffenbaugher was then released from the stop.
Sebring Tire arrived and towed the vehicle to their impound lot, with me
clearing afterwards.

On 04/30/2022, I Officer Ray, was sitting in the Huntington Parking lot
observing the intersection of Ohio and 15th. As a silver Saturn was passing by
me, I observed what appeared to be an expired sticker (yellow) on the rear plate
of the vehicle. I put my cruiser in drive, and followed the vehicle in an
attempt to verify that the plate was expired. As we neared the intersection of
Ohio and 12th Street, I observed the vehicle to not have a plate light. I
activated my overhead lights, and the vehicle came to a stop in front of the
court house. As I approached the vehicle, I observed that the plate sticker was
in fact expired. Showing from October 2021.
I approached the vehicle from the passenger side, identified who I was, and the
reason for the stop. The driver was identified as Heather Bell. Heather stated
that the registration was not expired due to her not having a birthday in 2022
yet. I attempted to explain to her that the registration expires the year that
is listed, and not the following year. Heather did not understand that concept.
Heather then stated that the registration was renewed, and that the sticker was
what the BMV gave her. I advised Heather to contact someone for a ride due to
the vehicle being towed.
Dispatch was advised to send a tow. Springers arrived on scene, and took the
vehicle. I conducted an inventory of the vehicle, and found nothing, Misc junk,

At 21:27 hours on 04-19-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While stationary along to roadside, observing the intersection of N.
Johnson Road and W. Ohio Avenue, I witnessed a dark colored Hyundai SUV travel
through the intersection without coming to a stop. The vehicle was traveling
eastbound on W. Ohio, approached the intersection which is clearly marked with
flashing red lights as well as stop signs, and turned left onto N. Johnson Road.
Based upon my training and experience, the vehicle appeared to be traveling at
approximatly 12 MPH when it went through the intersection.
I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a
traffic stop. The vehicle, a gray Hyundai Santa Fe, bearing Ohio Registration
HAT 8068, came to a stop on N. Johnson Road near W. Maryland Avenue.
Upon approaching and making contact with the driver, I informed him of the
reason for the stop as well as asked for his vehicle registration, proof of
insurance, and driver license. The driver said that he realized that he did not
come to a stop at the intersection and that he was in a hurry to get back to
work. He then produced and Ohio Driver License that showed him to be Robin
Strader, as well as his vehicle's registration. Strader was unable to provide
proof of insurance.
I then returned to my patrol car, where I relayed Strader's information to
dispatch, with it being found that Mr. Strader's driver license was suspended. A
confiscation order was also shown for the vehicle's registration. I then drafted
Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032276. I cited Strader for obeying traffic control
devices (ORC: 4511.12), as well as driving under suspension.
Upon returning to Strader's vehicle, he signed the citation and was given his
copy. I also advised Strader that he was required to appear at Mahoning County
Court #3 at 09:00 on Thursday, April 28,2022, regarding the citation. Strader
was then instructed to exit the vehicle, because it was going to be towed.
Strader complied, with him then asking if he was free to leave. I informed him
that he was, with him then leaving the scene. An inventory of the vehicle was
conducted with a handheld gaming system being located on the front passenger
side floorboard as well as two laptop computers in the back cargo area of the
vehicle.
Sebring Tire arrived on scene, the registration plates were removed, With
Sebring Tire then loading the vehicle onto their flatbed. Once Sebring Tire was

Case #22-004096
TRAFFIC - W. Ohio AveM. 19th St. Sebring, OH
CITED: Daniel Pasco-Winland, 34, 718 S.Mechanic Ave., Alliance, Ohio
Charges:
ORC: 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension (Non-Compliance)
ORC: 4511.12 Obey Traffic Control Devices
At 00:27 hours on 04-18-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 302. While stationary observing the intersection of W. Ohio Avenue and N.
Johnson Road, I observed a maroon Toyota sedan, that was traveling eastbound on
W. Ohio, proceed through the intersection without coming to a complete stop.
Based upon my training and experience, I estimated the vehicle to be moving at
approximately 10 MPH when it went trough the intersection. I then pulled onto
the roadway, activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights, and initiated
a traffic stop on the vehicle.
It should be noted that the vehicle was slow to stop, with me having to
activated my audible siren several times before it stopped at the intersection
of W. Ohio Avenue and N. l9th Street.
Upon approaching the maroon Toyota Corolla, bearing Ohio Registration HZC 9083,l
made contact with the male driver. I informed the driver of the reason for the
stop, with him saying that he realized he had run the stop sign, and that he was
having a bad night. I then requested his driver license as well as vehicle
registration. The driver informed me that he did not have either with him. I
then asked if he had a valid license, with him telling me that he had just been
stopped by The Alliance Police Department, his license was suspended, and that
they had cited him. The driver then gave me his name (Daniel Pasco-Windland),
date of birth, and social security number.
Upon returning to my patrol car, I relayed Pasco-Windland's information to
dispatch, with it being
confirmed that his driver license was suspended. I then drafted Uniform Traffic
Citation No. 032222. I cited Pasco-Windland for driving under suspension (ORC:
4510.11), as well as obeying traffic control devices (ORC: 4511.12).
Upon returning to Paso-Windland's vehicle, he signed the citation and was given
his copy. I also at this point instructed Pasco-Windland to exit the vehicle,
because it was going to be towed.
Upon informing Pasco-Windland of this, he reached his right hand between the
center console and driver seat, began shuffling around, and then reached into
his front right coat pocket. I could not see what he had retrieved, with me
ordering him out of the vehicle. Due to the threat to officer safety, I asked
for and received consent from Windland to conduct a pat-down of his person.
Pasco-Windland then said it had been his nicotine that he put in his pocket.
When I asked if I could enter his pockets to be sure that it was only nicotine
that he had retrieved, Paso-Windland said "yeah". At this point I located a
plastic container, which contained a light-colored crystalline substance, small
spoon, box cutter blade, and rolled up dollar bill. Based upon my training and
experience, the light-colored crystalline substance appeared to be
methamphetamine.
I then secured Pasco-Windland in handcuffs, which were properly spaced and
double-locked, before securing him in the back of car 302. It should be noted
that I informed Pasco-Windland that he was only being detained at that point and
was not under arrest. I then completed an inventory of the vehicle, locating
nothing of value and no additional contraband.
Ptl. Rhome, of The Smith Township Police Dept. also arrived to my location at
this time. At this point, I decided that the suspected methamphetamine would be
sent to The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) Crime Lab, instead of
it being field tested. Because of this, Pasco-Windland was released from
detention and sent on his way. Pasco-Windland was informed of his mandatory
court appearance at Mahoning County Court #3 at 09:00 on 04-18-2022. Sebring
Tire then arrived and towed his vehicle, with both Ptl. Rhome and I clearing
from the stop afterwards.
Once back on station, I photographed the suspected methamphetamine as well as
drug paraphernalia. I also weight the suspected methamphetamine, with it not
registering on the department scale. The contraband items were then secured in
temporary evidence locker #1. Additional charges possible pending laboratory
results.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

Charge: SCO: 313.01 Traffic Control Devices
At 21:20 hours on 04-17-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 302. While stationary at the intersection of N. Johnson Road and W. Ohio
Avenue, I observed a dark colored Jeep Liberty, that was traveling Eastbound on
W. Ohio Avenue, go through the intersection, making a right turn on N. Johnson
Road, without stopping. This intersection is clearly marked with both a flashing
red four-way light, as well as stop signs at each entry point. Based upon my
training and experience, I visually estimated the vehicles speed at
approximately 20 MPH as it proceeded through the intersection.
Upon witnessing this, I activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and
initiated a traffic stop.
The blue Jeep Liberty, bearing Ohio Registration HRU 9807, came to a stop on N.
Johnson Road near W. Oregon Avenue. Upon approaching and making contact with the
driver, I found her to be speaking on her cell phone. I informed the driver of
the reason for the stop as well as requested her driver license, vehicle
registration, and proof of insurance. The driver denied having been on her phone
at the time she went through the intersection when I asked. The driver was able
to produce an Ohio Driver License, that identified her as Josie Gates, as well
as the vehicle's registration. Gates was unable to produce proof of insurance,
informing me that the vehicle belonged to her mother.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.
032223. I cited Gates for Obedience to Traffic Control Devices (SCO: 313.01). I
then returned to Gates's vehicle where she signed the citation, was given her
copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 within the next several
business days for instructions on when to appear for her mandatory court
hearing.
I then cleared from the stop. NFI.

Charges:
ORC:4510.11 Driving Under Suspension
ORC:4549.08 Fictitious Plates
At 22:28 hours on 04-16-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked
unit 304. While patrolling in the 200 block of E. 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. Reed then took over calling our location out since he was the
secondary unit and I was primary. The vehicle continued west on Courtney Road
passing Oyster Rd., speeds were approximately 50 MPH. The Vehicle then turned
left on to Jennings Rd traveling Southbound to River St. where it continued to
North Walnut.
At this time the Speeds were approaching 70 Mph while still traveling on Walnut
Ave the vehicle then turned onto E Keystone St In Alliance. Upon approaching the
intersection of Keystone and Union Ave the vehicle ran a red light almost
ramming a white utility truck. Sebring Dispatch then advised per Sqt Kelm to
terminate the pursuit. I then advised that the pursuit was terminated. After
ending the pursuit advised Sebring dispatch to contact Stark County Sheriffs and
also Canton Police since the vehicle returns to a Canton address and I returned
back to the Sebring Police Department.
At 1935 Hours I was advised by Sebring Dispatch that Canton PD had the vehicle
stopped with two subjects detained in canton at the intersection of 19th St and
Harrisburg Road. I then contacted Sgt. Kelm and advised him of what was going
on. Sgt. Kelm then advised to go meet with the officers in canton and attempt to
see if they had the driver. I then advised dispatch and I traveled to Canton
where I met with Ptl. Brown and Ptl. Hampton of Canton PD who had the two males
detained. Both males advised that a female friend by the name of Breanna Wilson
let them drive the vehicle 15 minutes prior to being stopped. I then advised the
CPD officers that my driver was a light skinned female.
While talking with Brown and Hampton Stark County advised that they made contact
with the owner of the vehicle and that they were going to meet with her at 3827
Kirby Ave NE in Canton. I then advised Sebring Dispatch that I was going to meet
with the owner of the vehicle.
Upon making contact with the owner of the vehicle myself and Deputy Green for
Stark County SO asked her to walk over to my patrol vehicle to answer some
questions. Prior to asking Stewart any questions I read her Miranda and she
advised that she would comply and answer all questions. Stewart began to deny
any involvement in the pursuit and she advised that a friend identified as
Daugherty was the person operating the vehicle and that she also had text
messages to prove it. I then obtained the text messages from Stewart that showed
Daugherty was operating the vehicle at the time of the pursuit and also how
Daugherty stated that she was going to wipe the vehicle down and also change the
color of the vehicle. I then asked Stewart if she could provide a written
statement and she complied.
I will be filing charges for a warrant to arrest Janessa N. Daugherty for
ORC:2921.331 Failure to Comply with order or signal of a Police Officer (F3) and
also ORC:4510.11 Driving Under suspension (M1).
Nothing else to report at this time.

Upon Taylor's arrival, I ran her through dispatch. Dispatch advised me that Taylor was also suspended.
At this point I advised Taylor that she was suspended, and that another ride was going to be needed.
Taylor contacted her sister who arrived on scene, and was a valid driver. Due to the cold weather, and juveniles being involved, I allowed her to drive Taylor's vehicle away with all parties involved.
Taylor was cited for DUS-Bond Forfeiture 4510.22, and her court date was set for 03/17/2022 at 0900 in MCC#3.
Nothing further.

Citation No. 032210: Michael Franks, 24, 16301 Bowman St., Homeworth, Oh
Charges:
ORC:4510.11 Driving Under Suspension(OVI)
ORC:4503.21 Expired Registration
Citation No. 032211: Megan Cutlip, 25, 5874 Callaway Cir. Youngstown, OH
CHARGE: ORC:4511.203 Wrongful Entrustment
At 17:22 hours on 03-12-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302. While in the parking lot of Circle K, located at 205 E. Ohio Avenue, I conducted a random registration check of a red Ford Escape that was in the business's parking lot. The vehicle's license plate, JGK 6756, returned to a Megan Cutlip, from Youngstown, Ohio. The registration showed that it belonged on a maroon Ford station Wagon and had expired on 01-17-2022. I then pulled into the parking lot of Gionino's Pizza, located directly across N. 14th Street from Circle K, and watched as the red Escape drove from the parking lot of Circle K and began northbound on N. 14th Street.
I then activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a stop on N. 14th Street, approximately 20 yards from the intersection with E. Maryland Avenue. I made a passenger side approach and made contact with the male driver and female front seat passenger. I informed the driver of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license. He at this point informed me that his driver license was suspended, with him then producing an Ohio Identification Card that showed him to be Michael Franks.
The female passenger was able to provide me with an Ohio driver license that showed her to be Megan Cutlip, the registered owner of the vehicle. Cutlip did also say that she was aware that Franks's driving privileges were suspended when she allowed him to drive her vehicle.
Ptl. Ray also arrived to my location at around this time.
I then returned to my patrol car, where I was able to confirm that Franks was in fact under an OVI suspension. Cutlip's driving privileges were suspended as well. Once I confirmed the suspension, I returned to the subject vehicle and instructed both parties to begin calling for a ride because I was going to have the vehicle towed. I then returned to my patrol car again, where I began drafting Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032210 for Mr. Franks, which was for driving under suspension (ORC: 4510.11), as well as expired vehicle registration (ORC: 4503.21). I also wrote Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032211 to Cutlip, who was cited for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle (ORC: 4511.203). While writing these citations, a female subject, later identified as Taylor Burson, arrived on scene to pick up Franks and Cutlip. Ptl. Ray made contact with Burson, who was also found to have a suspended driver license.
While Ptl. Ray was handling Burson's citation, I advised dispatch to contact a towing company to tow the vehicle belonging to Cutlip. Sebring Tire was unable to respond, so K&D towing was summoned.
Ptl. Ray opted not to tow the vehicle belonging to Burson, but to instead allow her to call for a ride. I also at this point gave both Cutlip and Franks their citations, with both subjects signing them, being given their copies, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 on the next business day for information on when they would need to appear for their mandatory court appearances.
Approximately 25 minutes later, Roger Rhome, with K&D towing arrived on scene. Also arriving was a driver who came to pick up Burson, Franks, and Cutlip. Driver was determined to have a valid driver license.
An administrative inventory of vehicle belonging to Cutlip was also performed, with nothing of value being located. The vehicle was then towed to K&D's impound lot with a hold being placed.
Ptl. Ray issued a citation for Driving Under Suspension to Burson.
All parties then cleared from the scene. Nothing additional to report at this time.

CHARGES:
4511.19a1a OVI
4511.39 Turn Signal
On 03/11/2022 While on local saturation Patrol for the Mahoning County OVI Task Force I, patrol Brindack, was driving north bound on N 14th St. near Ohio Ave. I observed a silver in color Volkswagen Passat bearing OH HLU1137 pull out of a parking space near the Brickhouse and pull in front of my patrol car. The vehicle came to the intersection of N.14th St. and E. Pennsylvania Ave. and turn right onto Pennsylvania without using a turn signal.
I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle which continued until just before the intersection of Pennsylvania Ave and 15th St. where it came to a stop.
Upon approaching the vehicle, I made contact with the driver Tiberu Marian and identified myself and informed him of the reason for the stop which he scoffed at. Observed his eyes were glassy in appearance and slightly bloodshot. I also detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. I asked Marian if he had any alcohol to drink tonight and he replied "one beer".
I collected Marian driver's license and paperwork and told him I would be right back, as I was sitting in my patrol car running Marian through dispatch, he exited his vehicle and approached the rear of his vehicle. I ordered Marian to get back and his vehicle and he replied "I'm just making sure you can see my turn signals" and as he turned around to walk back to his vehicle, I noticed him stumble. At this point I Walked over to Marian and asked if he would do field sobriety tests. Marian said he would.
At this point Sgt. Kelm had also arrived on scene.
During the first test the horizontal gaze nystagmus, Marian advised he used glasses but only to read and had no head or eye injuries. During the medical scan I observed Marian had Equal tracking, equal pupil size, and no resting nystagmus. During the HGN Marian was instructed to put his feet together, keeps his arms at his side and to follow the stimulus which was the tip of my pen. I observed lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation in the left eye as well as onset prior to 45 degrees in his left eye, Marian was squinting his right eye the entire time making it difficult to observe and was asked to open further but continued to squint. Marian also moved his head multiple times and looked away from the stimulus multiple times.
During the "walk and turn" I instructed Marian to keep his feet together and place his arms at his side. I explained to Marian he would be taking 9 heel to toe steps in an imaginary line turn around and do 9 heel to toe steps back. I showed him an example by doing only three steps but explained to him I was taking three and he would be taking 9. Marian, During the walk and turn Marian missed touching his heels to his toes, raised his arms slightly and stumbled while walking and stepped off the line.
During the "one leg stand" I instructed Marian to put his feet together arms at his side, and informed Marian to pick a leg of his choosing either left or right and was going to raise it off of the ground and count "1 one-thousand 2 one-thousand 3 one-thousand" until told to stop. I showed Marian and example and asked if he understood. Marian put his left foot up. Said "1 one-thousand 2 one-thousand 3 one-thousand and placed his foot back down. We explained to Marian he needed to go until I said to stop. Marian began again, stumbled raised his arms for balance and then put his right foot down and raised his left foot he then counted to "6 one-thousand" and stopped. Marian swayed the entire time
At this point I advised Marian he was under arrest for suspected OVI, And placed him in handcuffs while cuffing Marian tightened his right arm and would not bring it to his left arm. Marian had to be told multiple time to bring his hands together. Marian finally complied and his cuffs were gapped and double locked.
I began walking Marian toward my cruiser and he pulled away and tried to go towards his vehicle and said "wait a minute" I held Marian in place and ordered him to stop. Marian complied and was placed in the back of my patrol vehicle. Marian refused a PBT. The passenger Cheryl Dawn Marian was given a PBT, found not to be impaired and allowed to drive the vehicle away.
Marian was transported to our station to be processed.
On station Marian was read a 2255 form and asked to submit to a chemical and breath test. Marian did submit both urine and breath, urine being first.

At 16:12 hours on 02-23-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While stationary along the roadside at the intersection of N. Johnson Rd and W. Ohio Avenue, I conducted a random registration check of a black Chevrolet Trailblazer that traveled through the intersection.
The license plate on the vehicle, Ohio Registration HXZ 9929, returned to a black 2005 Chevrolet Station Wagon but was found to have expired on 12-08-2021. The plates returned to a Phillip Goodwin from Salem, Ohio.
Upon catching up with the vehicle at the intersection of Ohio Avenue and N. 15th Street, I activated my patrol car's overhead emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle came to a stop in the 100 block of E. Ohio Avenue.
I made contact with the driver and informed him of the reason for the stop as well as requested his driver license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration. The driver produced an Ohio Driver License that identified him as Andrew J. Rice. He also produced an insurance card as well as a vehicle registration that showed the vehicle was registered to the individual advised by dispatch.
In speaking further with Rice, he said that he had bought the vehicle off of his neighbor, Phillip Goodwin, and he, through his mother, had taken care of registering the vehicle.
I then returned to my patrol car where I began writing a citation to Rice. I cited Rice for Expired or Unlawful Plates (SCO:335.10). Rice signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to either contest the citation or pay it if he wished to do so.
Rice was also instructed to have the vehicle properly registered before driving it again.
I then cleared from the stop. NFI

CITED: Curtis Smith, 42, 546 S. Johnson Rd., Sebring, OH
CHARGES:
ORC 4510.11 Driving Under Suspension(Non-Compliance)
ORC 4511.39 Turn/Stop Signals
At 08:33 hours on 02-22-2022 I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 302.
While patrolling eastbound on W. Texas Avenue approaching S. 15th Street, I observed a green Chevrolet Equinox, bearing Ohio Registration JMP 4875, that was traveling in front of me, fail to signal prior to 100 feet before making a right turn on S. 15th. As we traveled down S. 15th Street, I activated the patrol cars overhead emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle turned left on U.S. 62 and then came to a stop.
I then approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver, Curtis Smith. I informed Smith of the reason for the stop as well as asked for his driver license. Smith said that he did not have one and that his driving privileges were suspended. Smith was able to provide me with his social security number, as well as name and date of birth.
Upon returning to my patrol car, I relayed Smith's information to dispatch, with it being found that he was currently under seven separate license suspensions. I then drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No.032205. I cited Smith for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11), as well as turn/stop signals (ORC: 4511.39). Ptl. Brindack also arrived to my location at approximately this time.
I then returned to the vehicle that Smith was driving and instructed him to exit. Ptl. Brindack and I conducted an inventory of the vehicle, with nothing of value being located.
Smith then signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court No. 3 for further instructions on when to appear for his mandatory court hearing. It should be noted that in speaking with Smith, he did inform me that Cathy Morrison, the vehicle's registered owner, knew that his driving privileges were suspended before she allowed him to use the vehicle.
Sebring Tire then arrived and towed the vehicle to their impound lot. Because I planned on citing Morrison for Wrongful Entrustment a hold was placed on it. Once Sebring Tire towed the vehicle, both units cleared from the stop.
After clearing from the traffic stop, I returned to the police station briefly before going to Cathy Morrison's residence, located at 546 S, Johnson Road. Upon making contact with Morrison, I informed her that her vehicle had been towed because Smith was driving it with a suspended license. When I asked Morrison if she was aware that Smith's license was suspended, she stated "I think I did". Morrison was then issued Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032206.1 cited Morrison for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle (ORC: 4511.203(A)(2)). Morrison signed the citation, was given her copy, and instructed to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for further instructions on when to appear for her mandatory court hearing. I also advised Morrison that a hold had been placed on her vehicle until at least her first court appearance and that it had been towed to Sebring Tire, located at 10 N. 12th Street. I then cleared from the residence. Nothing additional to report at this time.

CHARGE: SCO: 333.03 Speed (59/35)
At 17:45 hours on 02-19-2022, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 304. While parked Parallel to Courtney Rd. in the loading bay at Famous Distribution, (350 Courtney Road), I observed a westbound Chevrolet Equinox, blue in color, that appeared to be traveling at a speed that was substantially higher than the posted 35 MPH limit.
Upon activating the patrol car's front-facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 59 MPH. I then activated the patrol car's overhead emergency lights and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Due to the speed that the vehicle was traveling allowing it to gain a substantial amount of distance from me, I also activated the patrol cars audible siren.
The driver of the vehicle then appeared to notice that I was behind him, with him coming to a stop on Courtney Road, approximately 1/10 mile west of N. Johnson. As I pulled up onto the vehicle, I noticed Ohio Registration HWC 2036 was affixed to the back. Upon making contact with the driver, I introduced myself as well as informed him of the reason for the stop. The driver informed me that he was looking for his glasses, was on his way to get feed for his chickens, and had not noticed.
I then requested his driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The driver handed me an Ohio Driver License that identified him as Benjamin Sparks, as well as the vehicle's registration. Sparks was unable to provide me with a copy of the vehicle's insurance information.
I then returned to my patrol car where I drafted Uniform Traffic Citation No. 032204. Sparks was cited for speed (SCO: 333.03), for going 59 MPH in the marked 35 zone. Sparks signed the citation, was given his copy, and instructed to call Mahoning County Court #3 on the next business day for information on his mandatory court appearance.

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

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.

2911.21 Tresspass
Court: 1/13/2022 @ 0900
On this date units responded to reports of an unwanted person at Oakridge Motel room #30.
On arrival K9 Ptl. Stanton and myself were met by the caller and worker at Oakridge motel. She said that she noticed a male was in room #30 and that no one was renting that room and nobody should be inside. She was unsure if the person was still inside and she thought he fled through the back window. She also said she believed it was a male was a male named Andrey Lyogky who was previously trespassed at Oakridge the day prior and had to be told to leave by officers.
She also stated they wanted charges on whomever was inside.
I asked if she had a key to the room. She stated they did have a key but the door was deadbolted from the inside.
I advised her we could force entry with her permission. She said that was okay with that.
Officer forced entry and due to this being an unknown threat situation I drew my service weapon for the search of the room.
Upon entering the room Andrey was found inside on the bed covered in blankets with just a small portion of his head visible. I ordered Andrey to show us his hands and he did not comply. I ordered him to show us his hands a second time and he complied.
Andrey was handcuffed by K9 Ptl. Stanton and placed in the back of patrol car #304. The room was searched and nothing was found to be stolen or out of place and no contraband was found. The rear window was open which is how Andrey made entry.
Andrey was charged with 2911.12 Burglary, a felony in the fourth degree, and 2911.21 criminal trespass a misdemeanor in the fourth degree. Andrey was read Miranda and advised he did not wish to speak with officers but did say at one point "it was too cold to be outside". Andrey was transported to our station, processed and transported to Mahoning County Jail by K9 Ptl. Stanton without incident. Andrey's court date will be at MCC#3 on 01/13/2022.

TRAFFIC - 15th Street / Texas Ave
CITED: Bruce Rodkey, 45, 11360 Johnson Ave NE
Charges:
335.01(a) No Drivers License
331.14 Failure to Signal
4510.11(B) Violation of Restriction
On 01/03/2022,1 Officer Ray, was sitting in the parking lot of Huntington Bank when I observed a GMC SUV drive past on Ohio Ave, and get into the turn lane at the intersection of 15th Street. At the time I also did not observe the vehicle to have a plate light. I pulled out of the parking lot and got behind the vehicle that still did not have a turn signal on.
Should be noted that at this point the vehicle was already at a complete stop. As I stopped my cruiser behind the vehicle the light at the intersection turned green, and then the turn signal was activated. The vehicle approached the intersection of 15th and Oregon and that light had turned yellow. The vehicle traveled through the intersection, but I was delayed by the red light.
The light turned green, and I activated my over head lights, and siren, and got the vehicle to stop at Texas Ave.
I approached the vehicle, and identified the driver as Bruce Rodkey, I stated to Bruce that I was stopping him for not using his turn signal 100 feet prior to his turn, and that his plate light was hanging off of the truck, and that it was not shining light on to his plate.
Bruce began to be hostile with me stating that he used his turn signal. He argued that the law does not state 100 feet, and he stated that he had planned to drive straight and that prompted me to ask why he was in the turn lane.
I asked Bruce for his drivers license and the vehicle's registration. Neither document was able to be provided. I returned to my cruiser, and asked dispatch for the registered owners information. Dispatch advised me that Bruce was restricted to daylight driving.
Should be noted that my time of stop was at 19:50 and it was dark.
I returned to Bruce and stated to him that he was being cited for the restriction, and again he began to argue with me stating that it was an issue with the BMV. I stated to him that I go off of what I am told by my dispatcher and that I was not the BMV. I stated to Bruce that I was not the court and to stop arguing.
Bruce stated that I never gave him a reason for the stop, and I repeated that he was stopped for not using his turn signal. Bruce then stated "why did it take you so long to stop me" and I advised him that he went through the intersection on yellow and I stopped at the red light. In that same sentence Bruce argued that I ran the red light. Should be noted that Officer Ossler was sitting at that same intersection and observed me stopping at the light. Officer Ossler will be doing a supplement.
Due to Bruce continuing to argue with me over the traffic stop, I advised him that I would be back. I returned to my cruiser and added the failure to signal on the citation.
I returned to Bruce, and stated that the failure to signal was now added, and I continued by asking him if he was going to sign the citation. Bruce agreed. While signing the citation, Bruce began to question why the traffic stop took so long and I advised him that due to him not providing any information to me in the form of a license or the registration that I had to call dispatch for them to read me all the information.
Bruce was cited for Violation of Restriction 4510.11(8), Failure to signal 331.14, and No drivers license 335.01(a).

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.

Cited: Steven Lively, (Age 39), 4732 Union Ave, NE Homeworth, Oh
Charges:
4510.11 DUS
4511.194(B)(1) Physical Control
4549.02(A)(1) Stopping After an Accident
On 10/02/2021, I, Officer Ray, along with Detective Reed, assisted Smith Township with a vehicle crash they had on SR 62. Dispatch advised the Smith unit that a vehicle had went through the stop sign on 15th at SR 62, and the vehicle had come to a stop across from the stop sign. Dispatch advised that witnesses were watching the individual begin to walk North on 15th street.
I was already in the area, and began to search 15th for the individual. I was unable to locate.
Smith unit advised dispatch the vehicles plate, N033723. The vehicle belonged to Steven Lively.
At this point Detective Reed advised all units that Steven had an ex girlfriend that lived at 332 South 15th Street. Detective Reed, and myself went to that address. Upon our arrival we made contact with who was currently on the phone with 911 to report that Steven had crashed into her car. She stated that Steven was at the residence, and they were going to try and make things work relating to a past domestic. Sh stated that Steven had rubbed the hand of a 17 year old girl. This caused an argument.
It was at that point Steven had flipped over the fire pit in the yard that had an active burning fire. He backed his vehicle out of the garage, and put the vehicle in drive, striking a vehicle. Steven fled south on 15th Street.
When advised how drunk Steven was I cleared from the residence to search 15th Street again, I
believed that Steven could have fallen into a ditch / needed medical help.
While searching 15th Street, dispatch advised me that motorists had seen Steven stumbling down 12th Street near SR 62, As I turned on to 12th from SR 62 I was flagged down by a motorist who stated Steven was down the street trying to hitch hike. I observed Steven standing on the side of the road with his arm out, and his thumb up in a hitch hiking position. As I exited my vehicle I observed Steven swaying back and forth, bleeding from his right shin, not wearing shoes, and confused of his location. Steven stated to me that he believed to be on Union Street in Alliance, and was trying to hitch hike home. Steven stated to me that he was not driving any vehicle that night.
I detained Steven at 2038 hours, placed him in hand cuffs, gapped/ double locked, and placed him in the back of marked cruiser # 304. I transported Steven to his crashed vehicle on SR 62 where the Smith unit was still at. Upon my arrival Smith Township took custody of Steven.
I stood by at the scene while Smith unit conducted field sobriety on Steven. At this point Smith Township placed Steven under arrest. Smith transported Steven back to Sebring PD where OSP was waiting to use the lntoxilyzer 8000. Steven refused. It should be noted that during the time spent with Steven I observed a strong odor of alcohol, blood shot eyes, Steven had slurred speech, and was having a difficult time standing up.
I cited Steven with Physical Control of a vehicle 4511.194(B)(1), DUS 4510.11, and for not stopping after causing an accident 4549.02(A)(l).

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.

At 16:59 hours on 09-03-2021, I was conducting traffic enforcement in marked unit 303. While patrolling eastbound in the 200 block of W. Georgia Avenue, I clearly observed a person who I know to be Christopher Guildoo driving a green Ford Expedition westbound on the same road.
This vehicle also had a small trailer in tow.
Upon seeing Guildoo, I requested his driving status from dispatch, with it being advised shortly after that his driver license was suspended. I then turned my patrol car around and went towards the area where I had last seen Guildoo's vehicle.
As I neared the intersection of S. 18th Street and W. Georgia Avenue, I observed Guildoo's vehicle in an alleyway that connects W. Georgia to S. 18th Street. I then pulled into this alleyway opposite the direction he was going and initiated a traffic stop.
Upon exiting my patrol car and approaching the vehicle, I observed Christopher Guildoo in the front driver seat, Loni Quinn in the front passenger seat, and Brittany Landacre in the back seat behind Quinn. At this point I also noted that Ohio Registration JLW 5706 was attached to the SUV. This registration showed the vehicle as belonging to Loni Quinn. Ohio Registration SYX3177 was attached to the trailer. This registration expired on 09-15-2021 and returned to a Ronald Hubbs of Sebring.
I then returned to my patrol car where I began writing traffic citations for both Quinn and Guildoo. Due to officer safety, I requested mutual aid from Smith Township so that I could complete an administrative inventory of the vehicle prior to towing. Ptl. Iverson arrived a short time later. Guildoo was cited for Driving Under Suspension (ORC: 4510.11) as well as Expired Registration (ORC: 4503.11). Quinn was cited for Wrongful Entrustment of a Motor Vehicle(SCO: 335.05).
Both parties were advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 the following business day for information on when to appear for their court hearing. I then began an administrative inventory of the vehicle with nothing of value being located.
Sebring tire then arrived on scene and towed the SUV to their impound lot. Due to Quinn being cited for Wrongful Entrustment, a hold was placed on the vehicle.
The trailer, with Consent from resident Katrina Salyers, was left in her yard at 335 S. 18h Street. Guildoo was advised that he would need valid registration to use it on a public roadway.
I then cleared from the stop. Nothing additional to report at this time.

At 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.

Traffic - N. Johnson Rd/Courtney Rd
CITED: Andrew Lusebrink, Age 18
278 Venango Trail. Mars, PA 16046
Charge: SCO: 331.16 Right of Way at Intersections
At 15:17 hours on 08-05-2021, I responded to a two car MVC at the intersection of N. Johnson and Courtney Roads. Upon arriving with Sebring Fire/EMS Medic 1, I observed a black Buick Encore (OH Reg HTG 4990) facing southbound in the grassy area to the southwest of the intersection. Directly behind it, still partially in the southbound lane of N Johnson Road, was a black Jeep Grand Cherokee (PA Reg KZN 6520). The Buick had moderate/disabling damage to the front end and front portion of the driver side. The Jeep had moderate/disabling damage to the front end.
As I exited my patrol car. I made contact with an adult female subject who had been driving the Buick (Savanna Semler), and asked her if she or the toddler child she was holding had been injured. Semler advised that she had hit her head but was okay.
Sebring EMS began speaking with her at this point, with me then making contact with the driver of the Jeep, Andrew J. Lusebring. In speaking with Lusebrink, he advised that he believed the intersection was a fourway stop and proceeded through, striking the other vehicle. Lusebrink and his adult male passenger, Alexander Khorey, both advised that they were wearing seat belts and had not been injured.
After collecting his driver license, registration, and insurance information, I went back to my patrol car where I wrote Uniform Traffic Citation #032087 to Lusebrink for right of way at intersections (SCO:331.16). Lusebrink signed the citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on how to either contest the citation of pay it if he wished to do so.
After photographing the scene and vehicles I remained on site for traffic control until Sebring Tire was able to remove both vehicles. Nothing additional to report at this time.

Traffic - E. Wisconsin Ave. @14th St.
CITED: Austin Sturgill, age 24, 4439 Center Rd. Conneaut
Charge: 4511.19 A1A OVl SFST / Bond $500
While on patrol I was waved down by the complainant later identified as Christin Sanders 836 N. 15th St., near the intersection of N. 15th St. and E. Wisconsin Ave. Christin advised her boyfriend, later identified as Austin Sturgill, had been driving around and he was drunk.
Christin advised Austin was driving a white in color Dodge Ram. I then began a sweep of the area. I was able to observe a white in color Dodge Ram traveling east on E. Vermont Ave. which then turned north on N. 12th St.
I got behind the vehicle to observe their driving, when the vehicle got near 835 N. 14th St. I observed the vehicle turn into the alley without properly signaling. I then activated my overhead emergency lights and conducted a traffic stop. I made contact with the driver Austin Sturgill who appeared very nervous and was stumbling on his words. I then asked Austin for his drivers license, registration, and proof of insurance.
Austin produced his drivers license but had to be asked again for his registration and insurance information.
After being asked a second time Austin was able to provide a valid registration and advised his insurance information was on his phone but he was having trouble signing in. While speaking with Austin me had his hand covering his mouth as he spoke and I was able to faintly smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from inside the vehicle. I then asked Austin if he had anything to drink and he replied he had 2 beers approximately 2 hours ago. I then advised Austin I would like to perform a test to ensure he was ok to driver which he complied with.
While Austin was seated in the drivers seat of the vehicle I performed the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. I advised Austin to look at my finger tip and only my finger tip and follow it was only his eyes. I then checked for equal pupil size and resting nystagmus. Austin had no signs of resting nystagmus and both pupils appeared to be of equal size. I then checked both eyes for equal tracking and both eyes tracked the tip of my finger equally. I then checked both eyes for onset of nystagmus at maximum deviation which I was able to observe in both eyes. I then checked both eyes for onset prior to 45 degrees which was also observed in both eyes. I then advised Austin I would like to perform 2 more tests to ensure he was ok to drive. Austin complied and I advised him to step out of the vehicle.
I then had Austin stand with his arms at his sides and his left foot in front of his right heel to toe while I showed him an example of how the walk and turn test was to be completed. Austin advised he understood the instructions. I then had him begin. Austin immediately used his arms to keep balance, and stepped off the line several times.
I then had Austin stand with his arms at his sides and feet together. I then showed Austin an example of the next test the one leg stand. Austin advised he understood my directions. I then advised Austin he could start the test. Austin used his arms to keep his balance, did not count how I advised him to, and dropped his foot multiple times.
I then advised Austin he was under arrest for suspicion of OVI. I had him turn with his back facing me, placed him in handcuffs (double locked and properly gapped), and placed him in the rear of my cruiser.
At this time the complainant arrived on scene and advised she would drive the vehicle to avoid it getting towed. I verified she was a valid driver and ensured Austin agreed that she could drive the vehicle. I then transported Austin back to the police station where he was read the BMV 2255.
Austin advised he refused to take any chemical tests. Austin was then photographed and fingerprinted and released on an OR bond. Austin was advised of his court date on 7/29/2021 at MCC#3 at 0900hrs.
I then gave Austin a courtesy transport back to 836 N. 15th St.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Traffic - 100 block of S. 12th Street
Cited: Henry Mumaw, 21, 93 edgewater Dr., Poland, Oh
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.

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

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.
A consent search was also conducted on the vehicle with no weapons or contraband being located. Both units then cleared from the stop with nothing additional to report at this time.

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

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

I then returned to 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.

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.
Ptl. Peterman and I then cleared from the stop.
Upon returning to the police station, I prepared the necessary paperwork for a summons to be issued to Heestand, The suspected methamphetamine, ball pipe, and marijuana were secured in temporary evidence locker #1. The suspected methamphetamine will be sent to Ohio BCI with additional charges possible pending the results of chemistry testing.
Nothing additional to report at this time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

While stationary in the loading bay parking lot at Famous Supply, located at 350 Courtney Rd, I observed an eastbound pickup truck, gray in color, that was traveling towards me on Courtney Rd. This truck was traveling at a rate of speed that appeared to be substantially higher than that of the postad 35MPH limit. Upon activating my front facing radar antenna, I obtained a locked speed of 55MPH. Once the truck passed by me, I activated my overhead emergency lights in order to initiate a traffic stop. Although I was behind the truck with my overhead emergency 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 contact with the driver. I introduced myself and asked for his driver license, vehicle 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 McAfee. I cited McAfee for speed (Sebring Codified Ordnance 333.03) for going 55MPH in a posted 35MPH zone, with a personal appearance required. McAfee then signed his citation, was given his copy, and advised to contact Mahoning County Court #3 for information on when to appear for the citation. I also at this point asked McAfee if he had consumed any alcohol or drugs prior to driving given that it took him an 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.

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.

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

Pennsylvania Ave. Patrolman D.A. Marchionda #505 9.12.2020 Immediately after reviewing the call from dispatch, I retrieved my patrol rifle and initiated an expedited emergency response to 205 E Pennsylvania Ave. Upon arrival, I located the victim, Melissa Kastenhuber, outside the residence and escorted her to the rear of my patrol vehicle out of sight of the residence. Kastenhuber was visibly shaken, upset and crying. I notified dispatch to have EMS stage at their station as the victim had visible injuries to her face and right leg. Ptl. Russell arrived on scene shortly thereafter and I requested mutual aid response from Smith Township due to the potential presence of a firearm. Ptl. Russell and I took up cover behind marked unit #301 with our weapons trained on the house and used the PA speaker to make contact with the suspect, William Dawson. Kastenhuber advised us earlier he was still inside the house with a shotgun and that he had pointed it at her. As Smith Township Patrolman Caughey arrived on scene to assist, Dawson emerged from the east side of the house with his arms raised and hands visible. With weapons trained on Dawson, officers ordered him to walk back while keeping his arms raised and hands visible. With lethal cover from Ptl Caughey and Russel switched to less-lethal and trained my X26P Taser on Dawson while he was placed in handcuffs behind his back (gabped/double-locked). A search of Dawson person produced two folding knives and a glass pipe with an unknown burnt residue. Dawson was placed in the rear of marked unit #301 and advised he was detained pending further investigation. Sebring Fire Medic-1 was given the green light to enter the scene at this time to attend to Kastenhuber who was sitting In the tailgate of marked unit #304. I acquired verbal consent from Kastenhuber to enter the residence, retrieve the shotgun as well any other weapons. Ptl. Russell remained in the ambulance with Kastenhuber to get her side of what happened prior to our arrival. Ptl. Caughey remained on scene and assisted with scene control while I secured the glass pipe and knives securing them in marked unit #304. Before entering the rear entrance of the residence, I observed a butterfly knife on the ground on the east side of the residence where Dawson had emerged. The butterfly knife was also secured in marked unit #304. As I approached the rear of the residence, I observed broken glass on the porch and shattered windows on the back door. I announced myself twice before entering the residence with my weapon drawn. During the course of searching the first floor, I observed signs of a disturbance with more shattered glass on the kitchen floor and other items scattered about. As I entered the living room, I located a sawed-off single shot shotgun with a modified taped grip sitting on the couch next to a grey bag that appeared to contain additional shotgun shells. A check of the weapon found the gun to be loaded with a single live Winchester 12ga 3" Magnum shell. The weapon was subsequently cleared, the live round recovered and both items were secured in marked unit #304. I returned and subsequently secured the the bag containing additional shotgun shells in marked unit #304. Out of sight of the victim, I asked Ptl, Russell over the radio if Kastenhuber could describe the shotgun that was pointed at her. Ptl. Russell advised Kastenhuber described the shotgun as shorter than normal and black in color. I requested dispatch to run Dawson's CCH for prior felony and/or domestic violence convictions. Dispatch confirmed through LEADS Dawson was charged and convicted of improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle. Ptl. Russell provided me the details of what Kastenhuber had told her. According to Ptl. Russell, Kastenhuber had been assaulted in the bathroom and after managing to get out of the house, Dawson pointed the shotgun at her through the door. After receiving this information, I opened the rear driver door of #301 where Dawson was placed and advised him of his Miranda Rights. Dawson acknowledged his Miranda Rights and advised he was not willing to waive them to make a statement. Dawson was informed he was under arrest for at least one charge of domestic violence and having weapons while under disability. Per department policy regarding felony charges, Sergeant Kelm and Chief Harris were notified immediately. Kastenhuber signed an against medical advice waiver and refused to go to the hospital to get checked for her injuries. I provided Kastenhuber with a voluntary written statement packet and and asked her if she would be able to provide a written statement at this time. The packet was explained, to her and she agreed to provide a statement. I advised Ptl, Caughey his assistance was no longer needed and he could clear. According to Kastenhuber's written statement Dawson had berated her earlier this morning and throughout the day. During the early evening hours Kastenhuber took a shower and was subsequently pushed into the shower/tub and struck in the head with a "copper thing" (sic). Kastenhuber stated after she pushed him out of the bathroom, she got dressed and went downstairs to get out of the house. According to Kastenhuber Dawson shut the door and pointed a gun at her head when she attempted to re-enter the rear of the residence, breaking the back door windows. Kastenhuber was provided a domestic violence complaint packet and signed the statement of complaint. Kastenhuber also provided her signature on the authorization for release of medical information earlier in the ambulance in the event she did go to the hodpital. Kastenhuber signed the instructions for filing domestic violence and was provided a copy. Photographs were taken of Kastenhuber's forehead where she was struck and of her right leg where dried blood spots were visible. Additional photographs were also taken inside the bathroom where it was evident a disturbance had taken place. Ptl. Russel transported Dawson to the station for processing while I transported the evidence. Following our arrival at the station, Dawson was escorted into the video/audio recorded squad room where he was kept in handcuffs due to the circumstances and was provided a face mask, I advised Dawson he could have the cuffs removed in the event he wanted to make a phone call or go to the restroom. Dawson was read the charges against him: ORC 2903.11 Felonious Assault (F-2), ORC 2923.13 Having Weapons While Under Disability (F-3) ORC 2919.25 Domestic Violence (M-1). The handcuffs were removed during processing so Dawson could be photographed, thumb printed and DNA collected for the felony charges. According to his CCH, there was no DNA sample on file from his prior felony arrest and conviction. Dawson was informed due to the felonious assault charge his bond would have to be set by a judge and he would be transported to Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown. Dawson was allowed to use the restroom and given the opportunity to place a phone call but did not because he did not know any numbers to call off hand. Dawson's personal property was collected and gathered into a manila envelope. Among Dawson's property was $52 in cash (2-$20 US bills, 2-$5 US bills, 2 -$1 US bills). A more thorough and pat dawn of Dawson's person and clothing was conducted before being placed back in handcuffs behind his back (gapped/double-locked). All jail paperwork was completed and Ptl. 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 9.12.2020 On Saurday, September 12, 2020 myself and Ptl. Marchionda were dispatched to 205 E. Pennsylvania Ave for a domestic violence complaint containing a loaded firearm 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 #304, Melissa Kastenhuber. I immediately drawn my weapon from my holster and 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). A search of of Dawson's person was conducted produced was two folding knives and a glass pipe with an unknown burnt residue. Dawson was then placed in the back of my Marked patrol car unit #301 and advised he was being detained while officers continued to investigate the situation.

I was advised by Officer Marchionda at this time she had visible injuries and was sobbing and crying when he arrived on scene. At this time Officer Marchionda was given verbal consent to enter the residence by Melissa. I then went to the ambulance to while speaking with Melissa to get more information on what happened.

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.

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.
