Cruel and unusual: A nonagenarian who'd been released from the hospital told a neighbor in Mingo Junction she was unable to get inside her home, Friday. The woman told deputies she thought a family member had changed the locks while she'd been in the hospital, and when they investigated they discovered new locks on the doors. They said her deadbolt had been drilled through, so whoever was responsible for the lock change apparently had no key to get inside. The woman told deputies they have a conflicted relationship and she doesn't get along with the family member she thinks is responsible, who lived nearby. Deputies were unable to locate the woman.
