JEFFERSON COUNTY SHERIFF
Creepy: A Two Ridge Road resident said a man followed her to her apartment Saturday and when she opened the door, tried to "follow her in and stated he was looking for someone." She told him to get out and said she eventually pushed him out but lost track of where he went, describing him as wearing cowboy boots, jeans and a black-and-red shirt." Deputies searched the complex but were unable to locate him.
Splitsville: A couple who consider themselves separated, though they split time in their house and share a child but have nothing in writing, each contacted the sheriff's department to voice concerns that the other was going to cause problems. The male said they'd managed to remain civil since they called it quits but his estranged wife was upset since he had finally moved on and had a new girlfriend even though she'd had a baby by her new boyfriend. He said she was late getting to the home to take charge of the child and told him to leave the youngster home alone until she arrived and told him he'd better not be there when she arrived, but he was unwilling to leave the child home alone. She told deputies she was afraid he and his girlfriend would refuse to leave.
Ruckus: A caller in the Steubenville area reported hearing two people "screaming and cursing" at each other for quite a while Sunday and was concerned. The caller was concerned for the female because her male companion "is a drug addict." Deputies were unable to make contact with the woman.
Bad behavior: A Richmond man said Sunday he's being harassed by a sibling who had recently moved home. He said earlier in the day his sibling "attacked him and threw an open soda at him" and wanted it to stop, and that it's been a problem since the sibling came back.

STEUBENVILLE POLICE
Sugar buster: An off-duty employee at Mr. Fuel told police she watched a woman
"dropping merchandise into her bag before leaving without paying" for any of it Monday. The complainant said the shopper had her kids with her and loaded up on Little Debbie cakes as well as Reese's cups. The clerk asked police to tell the female and two men she approached in the parking lot that none of them are wanted on the property. Police also returned merchandise they found in the shopper's purse, including "numerous other candy items, energy drinks and a phone charger" valued at just under $51 that she said she'd stolen from Speedway.
Cash out: A man who dropped his wallet in the locker room at Planet Fitness Sunday said it was turned in, but minus the $200 he said had been in it.
Referred: A Steubenville man reported being shot with a BB gun in the 1400 block of Sinclair Avenue, but police had to refer him to the sheriff's department because the address was outside city limits.
