Steubenville Police
Crossed up: A University Boulevard business told police a man carrying a cross and dragging a chain had been asked several times to leave the property and refused, Saturday. Police caught up to him by Belleview Park and advised him not to return to the property.
Cracked: A city resident said her live-in boyfriend came home in the early morning hours and when he found out she’d locked the door climbed through an open window, Sunday. Once inside she said they argued and when she tried to leave the house he got in her way, they slapped her in the face, grabbed her by the arms and threw her down. Police said the woman’s face was red and her arms and face bruised, and she was “obviously afraid of him.” Frankie Scalise, 29, 1327 Maryland Ave., Steubenville, was booked into the Jefferson County Jail on a domestic violence charge.
Dog’s world: A Wildon Avenue resident told police she’s tired of cleaning up after her neighbor’s dog, Sunday. She said the neighbor lets his dog roam free and it “continues to have feces on her property.” At her request police spoke with the neighbor, and “shortly after (the two of them) began to argue and were immediately separated.”
Stimulating: Police said a woman who was “seemingly intoxicated” wanted to get back to her father’s residence to get her children, Sunday. Police said the woman was “sweating profusely and speaking in a frantic manner,” and told them her boyfriend had dropped her off and she hadn’t seen him since. They said her pupils were pinpointed, she couldn’t keep still and had several track marks on her arm consistent with drug use. She said she’d only taken her prescription medications, but police believed she was “intoxicated/under the influence of some type of stimulant” so she was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Free advice: A Sunset Boulevard resident told police his neighbor had threatened him, Sunday. He said he didn’t know the man or why he came after him, but the neighbor said the caller had made a comment about him and his girlfriend and it upset him, so he “made comments about beating him up and to stop talking about his girlfriend.”
Limited access: A Lovers Lane resident told police someone stole about 25 phenobarbital tablets prescribed for his dog to prevent seizures, Friday. He said only one other person had access to his apartment overnight.
Money talks: A battle is shaping up between the heirs of a former Braybarton Boulevard resident, Saturday. A man told police he’s been living in the home since for nearly 10 years and when his mother passed it was placed in trust for him and his three siblings. He said his sister from New Jersey showed up and he let her in, but once inside she started rummaging through things and refused to leave. His sister said the siblings have tried to sell the house in the past and even filed for his eviction but didn’t follow through and told police that since they all have an equal share in the property and contents, she felt justified in refusing to leave the property. Police told her she or the trustee of her mother’s estate would have to file another eviction request, and pointed out that under Ohio law her brother legally resides in the home even if he isn’t paying taxes or rent.
Pocketed: A shoplifter fled Wal-Mart with $176 in merchandise he hadn’t paid for, Saturday. Employees told police Pokemon cards a “popular theft item” and said they watched a man “grab several boxes and place them into a shopping cart. They said he made his way farther into the store and then tore the four boxes open “and stuff(ed) multiple packs of cards in his pants” before “sprinting out of the store” without paying for any of them. He ran to an SUV but employees tried to detain him, so he took off running toward Fort Steuben Drive. The SUV followed him to the road and he jumped in. Employees said he stole 31 packs of Pokemon cards.
Vandalized: A Chestnut Street resident who’d parked his car in the driveway said he was on Sunset Boulevard when he got a low tire pressure alert, Saturday. He said when he pulled into a repair shop it was “completely flat,” and they called him later to report it had what appeared to be a cut “similar to a slashed tire from a knife.” The owner told police he has no idea who might have done it.
Big bang: A Claire Avenue resident said he heard a “loud banging noise” from a woman’s residence but didn’t check it out until morning, when the woman discovered “somebody had tried to kick in the door,” Saturday.
Noisy: A caller reported a woman screaming at a house in the 900 block of Sherman Avenue, Sunday. The woman told them “she was having a bad morning and was just upset.” They advised her to keep the noise down.
Bothered: A Market Street resident complained of being harassed by a man who thinks she’s someone else and “was harassing her and making threats,” Friday. She said she told him he had the wrong person but he continued harassing her, and told police she thinks it has something to do with a Rebel 5 and an iPhone SE that were stolen from her apartment.
Mess: A Virginia Avenue resident told police someone spread a substance over the driver’s door handle of both her vehicles, Sunday. Police said it appeared to be chocolate pudding.
Heat related: A female lying in the grass near the Lovers Lane roundabout told police she was “severely dehydrated,” Sunday. The woman said she and a male friend had walked there from Wintersville with a man and she needed to rest. The male was able to get her a drink from a resident and she declined medical assistance.
Protected: A Plum Street resident complained his ex was violating a protection order, but when police arrived at the residence he was nowhere to be found and she was sitting on a porch across the street, Sunday. Police advised her to stay away from her ex and his home.
Fuss: A woman in the 200 block of North Seventh Street who callers said caused a disturbance told police she was upset “because several men approached her and began making comments to her,” Saturday.

Jefferson County Sheriff
Need for speed: A Steubenville man called 9-1-1 claiming a man had hit his car with a weed eater, and when he pulled over to ask him what his problem was the man yelled a proanity and tried to egg him into a fight, then told him he’d put a bullet in his head for calling police, Saturday. The man doing his yardwork said he never struck the man’s Mustang with his weed eater and did nothing to provoke the man to stop in the middle of the road, but admitted calling him out and said he also called him a a derogatory name. He said he and other neighbors are tired of the man speeding up and down the street as well as his loud exhaust and said he lied about there being a gun. A witness confirmed the man “does speed up and down the road daily and all the neighbors are tired of it.” She said she didn’t hear any talk of a gun nor did she see her neighbor strike his vehicle with the weed eater.
Still bitter: A Dillonvale woman told deputies her ex-husband walked into her home uninvited and wouldn’t leave, July 14. She said he screamed at her and her new boyfriend, who was in the bedroom. When he refused to leave, she told him she was going to call police, but he told her “she wouldn’t because if he got arrested, she would lose her child support.” She said they divorced five years ago.
His side: A Toronto man told deputies his estranged wife didn’t tell them the whole story when she filed a report about a July 18 incident, Saturday. He said she was driving him to work and they started arguing “about work and money.” He said she “slammed the car into park” at a stop sign and told him to call his ex to take him to work. While he waited, he told deputies he got out and started to walk down the hill but she turned around came flying up behind him “and turned the wheel toward him,” striking his leg and knocking him into a ditch. He said he picked himself up and told her if she ran into him again he would “hit her like a man.” He said his wife told him he wasn’t allowed at their house and locked him out.
Booked: Alison McEwen, 24, 149 Canton Road, B, Steubenville, possession of drugs, methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, a crack pipe, Sunday. McEwen said the pipe wasn’t hers and she didn’t know the methamphetamine was in her wallet, deputies said.
