Jefferson County Sheriff

Food fight: A Tiltonsville man was booked into the Jefferson County jail after he allegedly dumped a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs on his fiance, Wednesday. Michael Eugene Adams, 29, 342 Grandview Ave., was charged with domestic violence, deputies said. His fiance told deputies he’d complained about his dinner and asked her “what she put on it.” She said when she told him to throw it away if he didn’t like it, that he told her, “Get smart with me again and I’ll throw it on you” and when she went outside to try and defuse the situation he followed her out with a Tupperware container filled with spaghetti and threw it on her. When she went inside to change her clothes, she claimed he pushed her against a wall and started choking her, and deputies said the skin on her neck and upper chest was red and inflamed. Adams told police he walked outside with the container of spaghetti, but was just “kidding around” about throwing the food on her, suggesting she must have become startled and “jumped,” causing him to accidentally spill it on her and the porch. He told deputies he told her to pack her things and leave and when he tried to go upstairs claimed she “grabbed him,” so he pushed her against the wall to get her to let go. Her pre-teen children told deputies they saw him throw dinner on their mother and that he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.

Workplace issues: A couple working at a business in Warren Township, Rayland, reported being threatened by a co-worker, Tuesday. The female said she and an equipment operator were arguing over whether they’d finished their job and it escalated, with the operator allegedly yelling threats over the radio and telling her, “You don’t know who I am” and claiming to be part of the “Aryan brotherhood.” She also said he threatened to “send people from Steubenville to her home with guns to shoot her,” and said he pushed her several times so her husband “got in his face.” The equipment operator told deputies she was the aggressor, approaching his loader, throwing her hard hat and saying she was going to kick him. He admitted getting out of the loader and confronting her, but denied pushing her thought he did say he “lost his temper” during the exchange and told her he’d send people to her home because he wouldn’t hit a female. He called five co-workers, arranging for four of them to come to his home and confirm his account.

Scammed: A Rayland man told deputies he sent $300 to a dog breeder site on Facebook for a Rottweiler, but when he went to pick the dog up the only person at the residence was an elderly man who had no idea what he was talking about, Wednesday.
