Mingo Junction Police

Domestic: A caller told police a man with a knife was causing problems in the 600 block of Logan Avenue, Saturday. The woman said her boyfriend had been causing problems throughout the day over a friend who’d visited her earlier in the day, who he said threatened him “because he believed he was lying about him when (he) was in jail.” He said he was leaving to buy cat food when another of her friends arrived and said he threatened him after she told him about the domestic dispute they’d had earlier. The friend said he could tell the woman was upset and advised she’d been assaulted, so he told the boyfriend it was best if he left the residence so things didn’t escalate. He said the man left but returned and said when the husband pulled a pocketknife out of his pocket, he felt threatened, so he pulled his hunting knife out in self-defense and the boyfriend left.

Bad move: A woman said she was pepper sprayed at the corner of Longview and Carlisle, Sunday. She told police a gold SUV was tailgating her “the whole way” as she drove her daughter home and almost hit her several times at stop signs. She said she was afraid to drive home so she pulled over for him to pass and when she did, he got out and pepper sprayed her and when they told him they were calling police he told them to “go ahead.” Another motorist told police he saw the man get out of his car and yell at the woman, so he followed him. Police were able to review a surveillance video of the assault and said they smelled the pepper spray.

Grabbed: A woman told police she thinks a coworker stole a bottle of prescription medicine, Klonopine, that she carries in her purse for panic attacks, Monday. She told deputies she left it by her employer’s safe while she worked, but after she got home, she discovered it was missing.
