Steubenville Police

Dressed for success: A caller reported seeing a naked man carrying a black briefcase walking through a wooded area at Beatty Park, Sunday. Police didn’t find him.

Woman booked: A 31-year-old city resident ended up in custody after a man in the 2600 block of Hollywood Boulevard told them she’d assaulted him, Tuesday. Police filed charges of domestic violence against Monica A.N. Ray, 2642 Hollywood Blvd., after seeing her boyfriend’s swollen lip and bleeding calf. He told them Ray “was arguing with him and had accused him of cheating on her” so he’d retaliated by calling her a derogatory term. He said he heard her running into the room he was in and “jumped on top of him” then “choked him out and struck his mouth with her knee.” Police said Ray was still in the house and after they knocked for some time came to the door, “pretending to (have been) sleeping.” They reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol on her and said she eventually confirmed what her boyfriend had said, though she claimed he’d “body slammed” her after she attacked him and that she thought “he was going to assault her and she was trained as a medical aid how to restrain someone.” Police said she had no injuries.

Robbed: A Market Street resident told police he was walking in the 700 block of Market Street toward South Seventh Street when he was accosted by a juvenile armed with a small pocket knife with a curved blade that he had pointed at his stomach, Sunday. He said the youth stole a chain he described as a “daddy-daughter necklace” valued at about $15, then jumped the fence and fled north in the 100 block of South Seventh Street.

In denial: A caller reported seeing a man assaulting a female in the 100 block of Brady Circle East and then dragging her down the road, Sunday. The two were spotted on Sunset Boulevard near McDonald’s and police said the man did appear to be “pulling the woman down the sidewalk by her arm.” Police allege the male started running when he saw them and ignored orders to stop, and when he was taken into custody gave them a fictitious name. The woman told police he’d seen a message on her phone from an ex-boyfriend and “got mad.” She had redness and bruising on her upper chest and right arm but claimed she had fallen while they were walking down Sunset and denied having been in an altercation, but her boyfriend, Caleb Hoggard, 21, of East Liverpool was taken into custody on charges of obstructing official business and falsification, as well as warrants for a parole violation and failure to appear.

Threatening: A caller reported a man in the 2300 block of Chestnut Street “threatening to burn the house down with the gas cans sitting outside,” Friday. Police were unable to make contact with anyone inside the residence, so they took possession of the gas cans.

Damaged property: Police said multiple vehicles parked on Oregon Avenue and Belleview Boulevard were egged, Monday. They checked the rest of the Labelle community but no others were affected.

Mowed over: A Lawson Avenue resident said a guy on a minibike ran into his lawn mower, Sunday. He said a juvenile had ridden a minibike past him while he was mowing his parent’s lawn but he didn’t realize there was another one approaching from behind. He said he stopped to watch the rider who’d just passed him when the other bike, operated by an older male, drove up into the yard “and ran over the lawn mower, causing him to wreck.” The mower’s front wheels were damaged and it was “heavily scratched from having been overturned when struck by the minibike,” police said. When they spoke with the man who’d been operating the minibike police said he “claimed he was struck by the lawnmower,” but they noted the markings his bike left in the yard “were clearly several feet away from the sidewalk, which confirmed that (he) had left the sidewalk and drove into the complainant’s front yard” before crashing into the mower. Police also advised the man minibikes are not permitted on sidewalks or in streets and the owner of the bikes said she would pay for the damages to the lawnmower.

Wake up call: A small juvenile was seen walking in the street in the 500 block of South Fifth Street, Monday. Police returned the child to her mother, who said she was “sleeping and didn’t hear her open the front door.”

Say goodbye: A disturbance was reported in the 800 block of North Sixth Street, Monday. Police spoke with a female involved, who said everything was OK and told them to speak to her boyfriend. He claimed she “was intoxicated and was arguing with him” and got into a verbal dispute with a woman across the street. The front window at the residence was broken and he told police his kids did it earlier in the day. He said no further assistance was needed, but police spoke with her again because the two of them had a history of physical altercations. She insisted they would stay separated for the night. Later in the day someone reported a man assaulting a woman in that same area. They spoke with the woman again and said “she denied anything going on,” though she said she heard some yelling on Franklin Avenue. Police said all appeared to be in order so they left.

Kid cited: Juveniles were caught drinking alcoholic beverages in the bathroom at Wal-Mart, Sunday. Employees said they saw two children “roaming around and riding the handicap motorized scooters” and at some point entered the restrooms “and did not come out for some time,” When they checked the bathroom employees said they found an empty eight-pack of an alcoholic beverage and the kids fled on foot, with one of them dropping several cell phones as he tried to get away. One of the kids was taken into custody, and when police talked to him he confirmed they’d ingested the adult beverages, though police noted he was “slurring his speech and slow to respond.” When his mother arrived at the scene she was told her son was being cited for underage consumption.

Kids at play: Someone reported hearing yelling from inside an apartment in the 400 block of South Sixth Street, Monday. Police said the tenant told them “he has multiple small children and they are loud when playing inside.”

Wants to go: A Greenbrier Court resident told police she and her husband have been arguing and she wanted to take her son and go to a family member’s residence but her husband wouldn’t let her leave, Monday. He said he had no problem with her leaving but didn’t want her to take their 2-year-old. Police told him that since the child is still breast feeding it was in his best interest to go with his mother, so the husband gave the child to his mother and they left. Before leaving, the two of them were advised to seek counseling or start proceedings for divorce or child custody.

Animal rescue: Police freed a white-tailed fawn stuck in a hole in the ground in the 400 block of Dresden Avenue, Monday. Once out of the hole they said the fawn returned to the woods.

Thief: A South Eighth Street resident doing his laundry said he sat his credit card on top of the washer and forgot to pick it up, Monday. He said he realized his mistake when he started getting fraudulent charge alerts for the card. He had the card deactivated, but not before the thief made roughly $450 in fraudulent charges throughout town.

Nitpicking: A Maxwell Avenue resident complained of hearing a loud radio, Monday. Police said they could hear music being played at a nearby residence, “however, it was not found to be overly loud.”

Complaining: A woman in the 800 block of North Sixth Street said a man came into her building with a baseball bat “and she felt as though he was harassing her with it,” Sunday. Police located the male, who told them the woman “has issues with him.” Police told them to stay separated for the night.

Big mistake: A woman in the 400 block of South Fifth Street wanted a vehicle that was in her name returned to her, Sunday. Police located the vehicle on Mucci Way and said the man who had it removed all of his belongings and turned it over to the woman, his ex. Police said the male had been in a relationship with her when he purchased it and put it in her name.

Startled: A caller in the 400 block of Madison Avenue told police a man pulled a knife on him, Monday. He said he noticed a silver van in front of his residence and the driver appeared to be passed out. When he approached to ask the man if he was OK, he said the man “got out of the vehicle and pulled a knife on him.” The caller told police he used his walker to push the male away, then the man got back in his van and left the area.

Hit-skip: The owner of a vehicle parked in the 600 block of McDowell Avenue reported someone crashed into it between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. and left the scene, Sunday. Police said the driver’s side door, mirror, wheel well, front tire and tire rim were all damaged and located a white SUV with its passenger side front tire lying in the roadway and its tie rods snapped. The owner of the SUV was looking at the damage and, told that it had been in an accident, said her granddaughter, Tashera Jett, had borrowed the vehicle the day before and “had been told it was parked (there).” A tow truck driver arrived and told police he’d been contacted at 4 a.m., which fit the timeline. Jett was called to the scene and when she arrived, police said she admitted to operating the vehicle at the time of the accident and said she was going to reach out to the owner of the parked vehicle but, because it was so early in the morning, she planned to contact them later. Police said they cited Jett, 32, 241 N. Seventh St., Steubenville, for failure to control and leaving the scene of an accident.
