Driving hazard: A Hammondsville woman said a man who “seemed to be highly intoxicated” and driving a red Ford F-350 “tore up (several) yards” in Irondale, Thursday. They said he began “driving around erratically” after they confronted him and then had gotten out of a vehicle behind someone’s residence and was “yelling at everybody.” The caller said she’d had some friends and family over for the evening when they saw the man driving up and down the street, at one point stopping so abruptly a dog in the bed of the truck fell out and onto its back on the pavement. They said they ran over to help the dog, but it ran off, though the driver “became aggressive” toward her and her friends. She said someone shot a video showing the driver trying to goad one of her friends into a fight. A deputy located the truck and said the driver smelled of alcohol and admitted he’d been drinking since that afternoon, but he had already gotten out of the vehicle. He initially denied driving, then later told them “A group of people tried to fight him, and he drove back home and parked his truck.” He refused to agree to a field sobriety test. He was not charged, though he was warned not to leave his home.

Ex-ed out: Neighbors reported a disturbance at a Dillonvale residence, Thursday. A woman involved in the disturbance said her ex-husband came to her residence to demand his wallet and when she told him she didn’t have it, tried to come in anyway. She said he spit at her through her screen door. She said she’d served him with a three-day eviction notice but he’s ignored it and was reluctant to pursue charges.

Staked out: A Bloomingdale woman said her neighbor was cutting the grass along their property line and removing survey stakes as he went along, Thursday. She said she’s not sure what he did with them.

Steubenville police

Risky business: A Longford Drive resident asked police to check on a neighbor after seeing a “male known to her as a person of ill repute” climb over the neighbor’s fence, Wednesday. She said the man and two others eventually came to her door asking for money. Officers were able to make contact with the neighbor, who is familiar with the male “and often gives him money for food, etc.” but admitted it was “worrisome” he’d climbed over the fence. Police said the woman called them herself on Thursday, saying he’d returned and asked her for money. She told police her husband used to give the man food and money from time to time, but he has since passed away and the man continues to come to her home at odd hours of the night, sometimes bringing strangers with him.

Charged: Giorne Manson, 28, 1434 Ridge Ave., Steubenville, drug abuse, Thursday. Police said an apparent overdose had been reported in the 400 block of South Fifth Street and when they arrived found Manson in the bathroom, unresponsive, “with a hypodermic needle still in her thigh from a recent injection.” Steubenville firefighters revived her with Narcan.

Scratch and dent: A Sherman Avenue resident showed police two dents “and what looked to be a long scratch from a key or tool” on the side of her car, Thursday. She told police she thinks the person who vandalized her car is a man who “had been making threats to her and regarding her” to others.

Attention getter: Two people were causing a disturbance at Seventh and Adams streets, Thursday. The two of them told police they “were just arguing and everything was OK,” but police discovered the female had an outstanding warrant. Desaray R. Lacy, 30, 2610 Chestnut St., Steubenville, was booked for probation violation, police said.

Booked: Rani A. Stone, 25, 55 Vargo Lane, Dillonvale, aggravated possession of drugs, Thursday. Police allege while they were serving Stone with a warrant out of Carroll County she told them a family member had given her a black velvet pouch containing plastic bags with a white, shard-like residue to hold for her and she’d concealed in her bra. They said they also found another bag with more of the shard-like substance as well as “one small piece of what appeared to be methamphetamine.”

Wobbly: Michael D. Thompson, 29, 824 Rosswell Ave., Steubenville, was served with warrants for failure to appear out of Steubenville Municipal Court and Guernsey County and cited for improper display of plates and driving under suspension after a traffic stop, Thursday. An officer on patrol said he noticed the driver’s side rear wheel “was sitting off camber, creating a severe wobble” and stopped the driver on Lawson Avenue to warn him and find out why it had no license plate. He admitted his license wasn’t valid and told police he’d just purchased the car so he hadn’t had time to purchase plates or tags. Police deemed the vehicle unsafe and had it towed.

Irritating neighbors: Residents were upset with people who were riding four-wheelers in the street in the vicinity of Oak Grove Avenue and Pittsburgh Street near Arlington Avenue “at an excessive rate of speed,” Thursday. Police located the group, advising them of the city ordinance regarding use of ATVs and UTVs on city streets. They were advised to keep the vehicle parked and warned that if it continues to be a problem, the owner will be cited and the vehicles will be towed.

Pulling punches: A Pershing Avenue resident told police he was sitting on his couch when a family member “came into the room and began to punch him in the face” before a third family member broke it up, Wednesday. He and the third family member believe his assailant was under the influence of methamphetamine. Police said he had a swollen black eye and stitches in several places.
