Un-welcome wagon: Women in the 700 block of Kendall Avenue were causing problems, Wednesday. The callers said the argument started over her mother parking in front of the residence and the neighbor was “yelling at her” and claimed it’s been an ongoing problem. The callers said they were inside their apartment and believe someone kicked the door and believed it to be the neighbor, but police noted there were no footprints on the door. The neighbor said she came home “and was having a hard time parking due to the mother’s truck” so she “knocked on the door pretty hard to attempt to make contact with them due to the apartment being upstairs.” The neighbor claimed she “politely” asked the (caller) to move her truck, but they “began cussing at her and telling her that she isn’t going to tell them where to park.” She insisted she didn’t kick the door and was not even outside during the time they said the incident took place. Both parties were advised there are no designated parking spots on the street, but it was in the best interest of all involved “to try and be courteous to each other due to the fact that they live in an apartment building.” They were advised to avoid further interaction. Later, the callers reported the neighbor and her girlfriend were harassing them, telling police the neighbor’s girlfriend “started messaging them that they were getting evicted” and that they’d “better stop messing with (the neighbor) or they will regret it.” The caller also claimed the neighbor and her girlfriend were “pounding on the walls and scared her kid.” Police spoke with the neighbor’s girlfriend, who advised she’d been sleeping and was unaware of the earlier incident but was “frustrated and did try to knock on the door to find out why (the caller and her daughter) are now blaming her (partner) for her tires being slashed and kicking their door.” The girlfriend said she texted them “out of frustration” and claims their issues have been ongoing due to her having been “married to (the caller’s) sister for several years.”

Boxed out: Neighbors reported “constant screaming and yelling of profanity and ongoing fights and disturbances” coming from an apartment in the 2500 block of Sunset Boulevard, Wednesday. Police said the woman in the apartment “was intoxicated” and said there was no disturbance in her home but then a neighbor played a recording of some of that night’s incident in which the woman in the apartment could be heard “yelling and arguing with another person.” While they were talking with the neighbor, police said they could hear “yelling and thudding” coming from the woman’s apartment so they went back to talk with her again and said this time she “had boxing gloves on and (told them she) was sparring with a friend.” Police told her to keep the noise down and be considerate of her neighbors.

Headed home: A mother who let her daughters and grandchild go to their godparents’ home in Weirton on Saturday said they were still there, but the couple said the kids could leave but they weren’t bringing them back to Steubenville, Wednesday. She said she hasn’t been able to pick them up due to transportation issues but Weirton police had done welfare checks and didn’t find problems. Police were able to speak with the woman’s oldest daughter, who said she had been communicating with her mother, and she had returned Tuesday to gather some clothing and other items told her mother “she needed a break” but made arrangements to meet her mother for a medical appointment. Police told her she needed to make sure her sibling and her child were at the appointment as well so they could go home with her mother.

Loading up: A man was seen bagging items as he wandered through Wal-Mart “to make it look as if he had already paid” for them and walked out of the store with no money changing hands, loaded them in his vehicle and then came back in the store for more, Tuesday. On the second trip employees said the man “walked past all points of sale with another shopping cart of items without paying for them” and when they confronted him, “pushed the shopping cart to the side and walked out leaving all of the merchandise in the store.” Police said six items valued at $60 were in the cart when he fled the property.

School questions: A caller reported a disturbance in the 400 block of South Fifth Street, Wednesday. Police said a mother told them “she had been yelling at her kids to get ready for school and they were not listening.”

Missing meds: A Lovers Lane Circle resident said her doctor’s office told her medication she’d ordered had been delivered by the post office but she never received it, Jan. 15.

Code issues: Notices of violation were sent to owners/occupants of properties at 418 Spring Ave., litter and garbage piled in open detached garage, cat litter containers, an indoor computer chair, broken screen door frame, tires and scattered household trash on all sides of proper, as well as appliances, weight room equipment “and other junk” on two sides of the property; 1542 Oregon Ave. “large amount of junk” stored on front porch; 2512 Sunset Blvd., sofa in front yard.

Jefferson County Sheriff

Full of regret: An Adena woman said her son had let a woman and her three children move in because they had nowhere else to go but she’s had enough and wants them to leave, Sunday. The homeowner said she “can’t take the disrespect from (the woman) and her children,” complaining the kids “give her attitude when asked to follow simple household rules like “eating downstairs at the table,” not in their room, and said neither they or their mother clean up after themselves. The homeowner said she’d asked the woman to leave two weeks ago but she couldn’t because she had nowhere to go. The homeowner’s daughter said she stopped by to drop something off for her mother and said she could hear them yelling at each other. Deputies told the homeowner that, since the family had been living there for two or three months, they’ve established residency and she would have to have them evicted. Deputies were unable to find an emergency shelter that would accept the woman and her children and, to minimize contact, arranged for them to eat in their room “so long as all trash was properly disposed of.” Deputies said the man who’d invited them to move in was staying away until they moved out.
