Steubenville Police

One cited, two booked: A driver was cited and two of his passengers in his vehicle were taken into custody after police pulled him over on North Seventh Street at McCook Boulevard, Monday. The driver, 40-year-old Wayne Harda, 3633 Marland Heights Road, was cited for driving under suspension. Passengers Alexis Majoris, 38, 236 Walker Manor Drive, Colliers, and Tonya Morgan, 42, no fixed address, Weirton, were taken into custody. Majoris was held without bond on a warrant for failure to appear, but was also charged with drug possession and conveyance charges after jail staff allegedly discovered she had .4 grams of crack in her possession when she was being booked. Majoris also was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia after a glass pipe was allegedly found in her purse and another hidden on her body at the jail. Morgan was held without bond pending extradition to Belmont County.

Different drummer: A woman who has no fixed address was chased from private property in the 500 block of North Street and another in the 400 block of North Fifth Street, Tuesday. She was advised to leave the North Street location and did, but the owner of the at the North Fifth Street property said she caught her on the porch recognized her from a 2022 incident at her home for which she’d been charged with theft. When the homeowner told her to leave, the woman allegedly “got into (her) face to argue before walking away.” Police said they’d also responded to calls for the same woman “acting strange” in the 200 block of North Seventh Street but said the woman “was not intoxicated, she was just acting as she normally does.”

Pair charged: Two people ended up behind bars after police were called to their location three times in one shift for domestic issues, the last an alleged physical altercation, Tuesday. Amy Hayes, 38, and Aaron Gilbert, 55, 711 Oakmont Ave., were both charged with domestic violence, police said. Hayes also was charged with resisting arrest. Police allege Hayes was “crying and clearly still intoxicated” when they arrived at the house with a bruised and bloody elbow she blamed on Gilbert, who said he was asleep when she “came into his bedroom and started an argument and began smashing things,” including the television. Gilbert denied hitting Hayes and said he “does not know how she got the mark on her elbow.” Police said when they told the couple they both were going to be arrested Gilbert was “very cooperative,” but Hayes fled to the second floor and it took two officers to pry her arm and legs off the footboard of the bed.
