Steubenville Police

On the hook: A woman from the 400 block of South Sixth Street who rented a vehicle and a friend she’d let use it said a third person now had it and wasn’t returning it, Friday. The woman in whose name the vehicle was rented said she let the woman who came to the police station with her borrow it. While that woman had it, she loaned it to a third individual who now wasn’t responding to their calls. The woman who loaned it to the thief declined to say who had it. The woman who rented the vehicle was advised to notify Enterprise it was missing and if it’s pulled over it would be subject to being towed.

Tired legs: A caller reported seeing a man “walking in the road and possibly needing assistance” on University Boulevard, Thursday. When they advised him of the complaint the man told police he had “walked from Akron and was tired.” He refused medical attention, and police told him he needed to use the sidewalk.

Animal kingdom: Police were asked to check on the living conditions of animals in a residence in the 1200 block of Lincoln Avenue, Thursday. Police said the residence was clean but the residents told them they’d like to surrender some of the animals, so the Jefferson County Humane Society was contacted.

Hit-skipped: A city resident parked in the 600 block of North Fourth Street told police someone clipped his side view mirror, Wednesday.

Served: Donald Adams, no age or address listed, warrant (Municipal Court), Thursday.

Code issues: Notices of violation were sent to owners/occupants of properties at 1096 Claire Ave., junk and litter on front porch and in street; 1098 Claire Ave., litter and junk piled at side of street;

Jefferson County Sheriff

Out of line: A Dillonvale woman said she and several other council members have been “having issues” with a man sending them “threatening texts” and reports he caused problems for her when she bumped into him in a store, Feb. 17. She said she and her son were shopping when the man “approached her and started screaming in her face” and said it “got so intense her (juvenile) son had to confront him and tell him to get out of his mom’s face and quit yelling at her.”

Buy a vowel: A Smithfield man said a female “keeps showing up at his house” even though he’s “asked her numerous times to not come on his property,” Tuesday. He said she goes there to get another family member, but the two of them had a dispute “not long ago” involving her owing him money and complained “(she) called the cops on him when she was the one in the wrong.” He was advised to let them know when she shows up again “so (they) can attempt to make contact with her while she is there.”

Breaking bad: A Dillonvale business owner said his employees saw a group of juveniles “busting out windows of several vehicles,” Tuesday. He told deputies the cars weren’t in running order but he stores them there “in case he needs parts from them.” He said he didn’t want the kids to get into trouble but he does want them to put tarps over the vehicles so nothing inside got ruined.
