Steubenville Police

Order nixed: A DoorDash driver told police he received a threatening text message, Monday. He said he’d received an order the evening before for cinnamon twists from Taco Bell and then was advised it was canceled. After the order was canceled, he said he received a text from the phone that had been used to place the order that began with a two-word invective followed by the words “if you come here you will die.” He was concerned.

Heavy hitter: A downtown resident told police he was trying to sleep in a chair when his female companion accused him of cheating on her and “began striking him in the face” with an unknown object, Monday. He said he pushed her away and tried to get out of the room, but she followed along, “continuing to strike him as he was exciting the room and walking down to the first floor.” His left eye was swollen and bloodshot, his cheek and eye socket were bruised and swelling and his lip was bloodied and swollen. Police said she “made comments about (him) cheating on her…” and said her head hurt because he hit her and claimed she “struck him with her fit in self-defense.” There was a broken wooden chair on the floor and a glass door on a dresser was shattered, but police said they didn’t observe any injuries to her face or head. A witness told police she saw the male trying to get down the steps while the woman was hitting him on the side of the head. Police said he told them he doesn’t want to pursue charges though he does want her to get “some sort of professional assistance.”

Popped off: A Maryland Avenue resident said his wife “hit him in the head with a pop can,” Monday. He told police he couldn’t remember why they were arguing but remembered her throwing the can at him. He said he didn’t want medical attention and wasn’t interested in pursuing charges.

Taking aim: A couple in the 400 block of Union Avenue told police they’d been arguing “over matters in their relationship,” Tuesday. She said they both were throwing things “but ultimately missed hitting each other.” They separated for the night.

Undeterred: A caller reported a woman with a handgun in her waistband going door-to-door in the 1100 block of Lincoln Avenue trying to sell life insurance had returned to his mother’s home a second time and he didn’t want her there, Monday. He said he walked in and told her his mother wasn’t buying insurance and told her to leave, and she eventually did, but not right away. Police located the woman, who advised the woman’s son “was very upset with her being at the residence and carrying a firearm.” She said she left when he told her to but planned to return once the son calmed down, but they told her he doesn’t want her at the property.

Grab ‘n go: A man tried to leave Kroger with $350 in merchandise he hadn’t paid for, March 12. Police said security footage shows the man pushing a loaded shopping cart out of the store and when the wheels locked up, he grabbed paper towels and other items and left.

Jefferson County Sheriff

Outer limits: A woman at a Jefferson County trailer park told deputies she’d been hearing “the same song, over and over for the last 24 hours” and believed it was emanating from a home behind the trailer park, March 12. Deputies reported making contact with a woman at the residence “regarding some sort of hacking attempt (who told them) somebody was continuously changing her music” and holding a handwritten posterboard that said “Judy Garland.” Ninety minutes later deputies were called back to the location because the woman was “walking in the middle of the roadway singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” while carrying the Judy Garland sign. That same night a man at the trailer park called to complain about someone playing loud music and reported the current selection was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” When they arrived the volume had been turned down, but a few hours later they came back to make sure there was no loud music playing and said five residents approached to report it was being played “at all hours of the day.” The woman with the sign called deputies later that day to report someone “tried to pick her up and take her home while she was out on the roadway” and claimed he threatened her. The woman said she was standing by the road “holding a sign to bring awareness to the main actor in the Wizard of Oz movie.” She said the man questioned her about the sign and claims he “became aggressive toward her” and told her to get in his vehicle, but she refused. Deputies ended up taking her to the hospital for evaluation after she reported “loud noises” outside her home as well as “what looks to be a bullet hole in the wall,” though after inspecting it deputies said it “appeared to be an old piece of utility pipe or rebar, possibly framing for the brick, to be sticking out the side of the wall.” Other holes in the mortar she pointed them to “appeared to be intentional drill markings,” deputies said.

Concerned: A juvenile reported seeing a “suspicious white van” following her and three friends near William Street in Yorkville, March 9. The juveniles said the van had no side windows and was “appearing to follow them as they walked down the street.” They said two people in the van were wearing ski masks. A parent arrived on scene and took all four girls home.

Bad start: The new owner of a property on Township Road 582 said a man she didn’t know “came out of the house across the road and was yelling “they don’t own the property and better come with a gun out next time,” March 9. She said they were cleaning the house when the man “came out swearing and asking if they had permission” to be there, then “continued yelling obscenities and said, ‘I hope you brought a gun’.” He told deputies the new people “started cursing at him first so he told them he carries a gun.” Deputies told all of them they need to get along.
