STEUBENVILLE POLICE
Love language: A Wellesley Avenue caller said her husband "was spraying her with bug spray" Saturday. She said he was "intoxicated and banging a broom on the room, keeping her awake" and during the ensuing argument "he threw cat feces and urine at her," but claimed it never got physical and she didn't want to pursue charges. Police said two guns were visible and the husband said the two of them had been moving them around to try and keep the other from getting hold of them. Since both parties admitted they were intoxicated and had been moving the firearms around, police took them to the station for safekeeping.
Pointed behavior: A city resident said she was having problems with her child Thursday. She said she's been having problems with the child for several days and that day he'd jumped out of the car near Lincoln Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard. She said she managed to get the child back in the car but once home, the child "began calling her names, punched her in the face and kicked her in the back." The child was upset because mom won't let him see dad.
All wet: A Cunningham Lane caller reported a possible disturbance Friday. The couple involved told police "nothing had taken place" and they "just got out of the shower."
Toothsome: A man in the 900 block of Carnegie Avenue told police he and his girlfriend were in a physical altercation and she "bit his leg," but his girlfriend complained he'd hit her in the face. Neither of them wanted to pursue charges.
Knife flex: A N. 6th Street resident said a man with a knife was at his door Saturday. The homeowner said when he asked the man to leave he "reached for his waistband and threatened him" before leaving. He said he didn't want to pursue charges but "just wanted him to leave...and was worried due to him being intoxicated."
Kids and alcohol: A caller reported hearing a loud radio at Linda Way Park Sunday. As police arrived, juveniles were seen fleeing on foot into a wooded area. Some stayed behind by a firepit, where a fire was burning, and "several alcoholic beverage (containers) were laying in the grass," which were cleaned up and discarded in the trash." The juveniles who remained behind denied drinking. Two juveniles seen walking away ended spending the weekend in the Juvenile Detention Center after they ignored orders to stop, then "began to make vulgar remarks toward (a) female officer and finally spit on her" cruiser and then kept walking.
They lied: Three people were found in a property supposed to be vacant Sunday, and one of them told police he had the owner's permission. Police checked with the owner, who advised no one had permission to be there. They were told to leave.
