Steubenville Police

Bad move: A city resident was charged after he allegedly kicked his ex-girlfriend’s door in to argue with her about a coat he claimed to have left there as well as her relationship with another man, Monday. She told police he hasn’t lived at the residence in more than a month and wasn’t welcome there, and said when he heard her calling 9-1-1 he “became upset” and left, putting “a large hole” in the wall in her living room as he exited her home.

Police said they took Anthony M. Beckett, 21, 2516 Crabbe Blvd., Apt. A, into custody on charges of falsification as well as probation violation. He was found guilty in Steubenville Municipal Court Monday on those charges and sentenced to a total of 180 days in jail, which includes the 153 days he was ordered to serve for violating his probation on an amended charge of attempted drug abuse. Authorities said Beckett had been let out of jail to enter drug treatment but smuggled illegal drugs into the facility and tried to sell them to others in treatment, “jeopardizing the sobriety of everyone there,” and then lied to police about his identity in hopes of avoiding being arrested for the probation violation. Additional charges may be forthcoming for the weekend incident, authorities said.

Ignored warnings: A man was banned from a property in the 100 block of North Sixth Avenue, Sunday. Staff told police the man was “screaming profanities at her and other residents so he was told to gather his belongings and leave.” Police told the man they don’t want him to return, but he did. The first time staff said he’d “returned, entered the common area and began screaming and yelling profanity and acting in a hostile manner” but left before police could get there. Police said they found him dragging his belongings through a parking lot to North Fifth Street and report he was “highly agitated” because he left his phone charger and a few other times behind and had gone back to get them. They said he smelled of alcohol and “appeared somewhat intoxicated” so they advised him again to stay away from the property and took him several blocks away to stay with a family member. Later, however, staff reported he’d returned and when they arrived, police said he was “behind the facility engaged in a profanity-laced disturbance with staff and other citizens” and took him into custody. Joel C.A. Greer, 33, no fixed address, was charged with criminal trespass and intoxication, police said.

At odds: A disturbance in the 1300 block of Sinclair Avenue was caused by a dispute between a woman and her mother-in-law, Sunday. Police said the women were arguing “over the condition of the house and that children were hiding clothing items.” Police told the two of them that’s not something police can address, so the younger women then requested her mother-in-law be removed from the premises. They told her they couldn’t do that, either, since both of them had confirmed the older woman had lived there for more than 30 days.

Canned: A caller reported a raccoon with a can stuck on its head, Sunday. Police said they located the raccoon and it did, indeed, have a can on its head but they were able to cut it off and release the animal into the woods.

Lapse in judgment: A Maryland Avenue man was upset because he gave a man $1,500 to fix his vehicle and it still isn’t working and the man wouldn’t produce any receipts for the parts he was supposed to have purchased. Police told him it was a civil issue and he’d have to take him to court.

Bushwacked: A Marion Place resident told police a neighbor cut a bush down that was on her property, Sunday. She asked police to tell the man he needed to stay off her property.

Peeper: A Dresden Avenue resident told police a family member saw a stranger looking in their windows, Sunday.

Theft: A resident reported the theft of a bike from the bed of his pickup truck parked in the 100 block of North Fourth Street, Sunday.

Jefferson County Sheriff

Behaving badly: A Tiltonsville woman who was “highly intoxicated” told deputies her boyfriend “grabbed her by the throat and threw her out of the house, naked” after an argument, Saturday. She said she walked to a friend’s house so she could help her get her keys and cell phone back, but he wouldn’t answer the door and refused to give her her belongings. Deputies said the doors to the boyfriend’s Dillonvale residence was open and said the male told them they’d been drinking with friends and when they returned home she “started yelling and screaming at him” and threw papers all over his living room so he told her to leave. He said she gathered some things and walked out the front door wearing only a hoodie, then tried to get back in his house and broke his front door and showed deputies security footage of her walking out of the house on her own, then walking around the front porch yelling before coming back to the door and banging on it then “attempting to rip the door open” while yelling for her stuff. The male said he’d handed her the key she’d given him to her house and put her purse on the hood and her car on the roof of her car, and showed them footage of her driving away with her phone still on the roof of the car. Deputies found the phone along the road and returned it to her.
