Backsliding: A Cunningham Lane resident reported a disturbance and wanted a female to be removed from his home, Wednesday. The homeowner said the woman had been in rehab in another state for three years but “was intoxicated and began to argue with him.” Police said he had a small scratch on his face but didn’t want to pursue charges, though he did want her to leave. They said the woman was “extremely intoxicated” and since she didn’t live there, she would need to leave. She gathered some belongings, and they gave her a ride to a hotel.

Hide and seek: Charged: A driver was taken into custody following a two-vehicle collision on Market and Seventh streets, Tuesday. Police said Ryan Gooch, 34, no fixed address, was charged with no operator’s license, a red-light violation and leaving the scene after they found a maroon Dodge minivan on the sidewalk and witnesses identified him as the driver. They’d said after the impact he got out of the van and fled on foot. Officers said they followed his footprints in the snow and allegedly found Gooch hiding under a trailer parked in a lot in the 600 block of Market Street.

Police said Donna M. Heverly, 54, and George Heverly, 52, both of 12198 state Route 43, Amsterdam, were each charged with petit theft.

They said the buyer had ordered merchandise totaling $135.15, but the couple allegedly scanned more than $164 worth of items.

Scam attempt: An Arlington Avenue resident said someone tried to scam him by offering him a work-from-home job, Tuesday.

Police told the caller thieves commonly steal a check or bank information and then cancel the check after it’s deposited into the business account. Detectives said the New York company reported it has no employee named Charlie Lynn and its bank information had recently been stolen.

Scammed: An Adena man said someone called him claiming to be a deputy and said he’d missed a court date “and now owes a $2,000 bond,” Tuesday.

Deputies advised him to try and cancel the transfer.
