Steubenville Police

Punch drunk: A man told police he and his ex were drinking and when an argument erupted, she punched him in the face and gave him a bloody nose, Monday. Police said they tried to talk to his ex-wife but she was “highly intoxicated” and unable to explain much, though she did ask them if she was going to go to jail. Her ex-husband wasn’t interested in filing charges, so she let him gather some things and police gave him a ride to a family member’s home.

Measured response: Laila Court residents were arguing over their property line, Tuesday. Police told them to have their land surveyed.

Jefferson County Sheriff

Long drive: A Wintersville man told deputies he agreed to travel to Kentucky with a friend to see his nephew graduate, but they had a disagreement and the other man slapped him, Tuesday. He said he told the man to take him to the airport and he’d fly home, but instead the man drove him home, and told deputies he believes it constituted kidnapping. Deputies said they told him he’d have to file his complaint in Kentucky.

Young love: A Jefferson County woman came home from work and caught her teenage daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend hiding in her closet, Saturday. Her daughter told deputies her mom doesn’t like the idea of her dating and said she’s “tired of her ruining (her) life.” Her boyfriend said he “doesn’t like talking to (the mother) because the first time she contacted him was on Facebook,” though deputies pointed out she’d rather speak to him face-to-face, but he’s been sneaking around behind her back.
