Police reports

Jefferson County sheriff

Walk the line: A Dillonvale woman told deputies she can’t prove it, but she thinks a neighbor who’s convinced he owns some of her property is removing her survey markers, Thursday.

Deep sleeper: A Bloomingdale man told deputies a disturbance reported at his residence was caused by his son sleeping in and missing a dental appointment, Thursday. He said the younger man has been having problems with his teeth and was upset when he realized he’d slept through his appointment. Callers had told deputies they could hear screams and things being thrown around inside the residence.

Mail call: A Mingo Junction resident told deputies another couple is having mail and packages sent to their address, then coming on their property uninvited to retrieve the items, Thursday. The culprits, who used to live at the address in question, said they’ve tried to update their address with the post office by submitting the proper paperwork and even called the USPS 800 number, but it hasn’t worked.

Pretender: A Salineville man said he got a Facebook message from someone pretending to be a coworker who pitched a money-making opportunity that turned out to be bogus, Wednesday. The victim said the individual conned him into supplying his identifying details, but he told deputies he hadn’t provided the thieves with any money. He said he’s had to freeze his accounts with the credit bureaus, report the scam on the FBI Consumer’s Fraud Reporting website, contact his banks and credit card companies and sign up for an identity guard service.

The rules: Two girls temporarily living in Richmond claimed their grandmother abuses them when their mother goes to work, but their mother told deputies the girls are the problem is the girls just don’t like to listen, Thursday. Neither of the girls had any sign of injury, and deputies said grandma told them the girls are “disrespectful, mouth off and don’t listen.”

Booked: Victoria Neeley, 31, 233 Ohio St., Steubenville, failure to appear, Thursday; Christopher Monigold, 33, 30 Township Road, 308, Amsterdam, probation violation, Thursday; Skylar Scott Miller, 18, 662 Rinker Road, Steubenville, unlawful sexual contact, Thursday.

Steubenville police

Swept up: A Ridge Avenue resident said a woman wouldn’t let her get out of her car and threatened to get a broom and beat her and her kids with it, Thursday. She said the woman also spit in her face. Police said the other woman appeared to be “very intoxicated.”

Walker: A Rosswell Avenue woman who said she was trying to make it home took a breather in the 700 block of Pine St., much to the chagrin of the home’s owner who wanted her off his porch, Thursday. Police said the woman was “highly intoxicated” and told them she was “too drunk to walk,” so they drove her home.

Damages: A man driving through a parking lot in the 2800 block of Sunset Boulevard told police he hit a parked car.

Doggone it: A Keagler Drive resident said she was trapped in her car by her neighbor’s dog, Thursday. She said the large dog stood by her vehicle barking aggressively and not letting her open the door. Shortly after calling police, she said the neighbor came out and got the dog.

Code issues: Notices of violation were sent to owners of property at 1305 Cardinal St. and 1306 Arlington, both for high grass.

Cited: David A. Hall, 35, 148 Palmer Road, Athens, Pa., intoxication.

Booked: Thomas Walenciej, 43, 1306 Arlington Ave., Steubenville, failure to pay child support, Thursday.
