Steubenville police
Risky ride: A woman who picked up her boyfriend at Club 106 Sunday said someone in a dark-colored sedan shot at them. The woman said she'd noticed a vehicle following her. As she approached the Adams Street intersection the other vehicle pulled out to pass her and a male in the passenger seat wearing a white T-shirt reached out the window and began firing at her vehicle. She said the vehicle the shooter was in continued on Sixth Street as she made a right onto Market Street. Police located four bullet holes on the vehicle and several graze marks, and said the driver side headlight/grill area was damaged. Neither the woman or her boyfriend were injured. Police said they were unable to locate the other vehicle.
Caught in the act: A witness reported seeing a woman break out the rear windshield of a car parked on North Fifth Street, Saturday. She denied it, though she said the vehicle belonged to the father of her child and he was in a nearby residence with his "side piece." He eventually came outside and said he didn't want to pursue charges.
Agitated: Quanita R. Elmore, 52, 102 Langley Ave., Steubenville, charged with disorderly conduct and menacing, Friday. Elmore allegedly threatened an employee at Kroger after allegedly losing a bank envelope she said contained $500. Elmore told police she had put two cash envelopes, one containing $900 and the other $500, down on the counter in the flower shop along with her cell phone and debit card when she had a wardrobe issue, leaving them unattended while she adjusted her clothing. She said she heard a drawer shut and when she looked back, the envelope was missing. Police attempted to walk her out of the store without filing charges against her, telling her the report would be filed if she persisted but said she didn't calm down.
Tall tales: A woman ordered to leave a University Boulevard hotel told police she was afraid to because she'd witnessed a gang shooting in downtown Wintersville while she was at the laundromat, and that her identification and debit cards were stolen while she was there, Friday. The front desk advised police the woman had a debit card, but it was not approved, and also pointed out she had an identification card. She eventually produced an Ohio ID card, but told them it was her Colorado ID card that was missing, then told them it was actually her federal ID card that was taken. Police confirmed there had been no gangland shooting in Wintersville, after which the woman thanked them for doing their job and left the area.
