You’re in: A fight was reported in the 100 block of North Fourth Street, Monday. They located a man walking down the street who matched the description of one of the men said to be involved and said he admitted being involved. He said he was sitting outside when another man approached him and “started shaking the table where he was seated, telling him to leave.” He said he stood up and squared off, then they started fighting. The other party told police a female had complained she saw him outside, “possibly” performing a lewd act, and when he told the man to leave was told “call the cops, I’m not leaving.” He said at some point the alleged offender stood up and punched the man who’d asked him to leave in the face.

Allen Jr., 46, no fixed address, was charged with assault along with public indecency.

Teenage angst: A woman in the 1200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue said her juvenile son’s juvenile ex-girlfriend is harassing her, Tuesday.

Jefferson County Sheriff

Water fight: An Adena resident said a pipe near her garage door backed up and the storm water flooded her basement, Tuesday. She told deputies she got a bucket and tried to drain the puddle that had formed until a neighbor came out and “began yelling and calling her names” and accusing her of dumping the water down the hillside so it would flood a vacant home he owns, though she said she was trying to pour it into her grass. She said there were no threats, just name calling but said he also accused her of setting that same vacant house on fire about a year ago. Deputies told them to stay away from each other.

No gratitude: A Yorkville woman’s neighbors were being evicted so she let them store their things in her detached garage until they started claiming she was stealing them, Monday. She said she told them to get everything out of her garage and they packed most of it and said they’d return for the rest, but then they started texting her accusing her of stealing from them. Since then, she’s discovered a dent in the front of her garage door that’s making it hard to open and close it and thinks someone tried to break in.

Brutal: A Toronto family told deputies they saw a man driving on a township road outside Salineville call a dog over to his truck and “as it was walking back home” and shoot it in the face, Sunday. They said the truck stopped in the roadway and initially they thought it was because the dog was in the roadway, but then the driver, who they recognized, stuck his gun out the window and shot the dog, then threw it in the bed of his truck. He said the truck driver later went to the owner’s home and confessed what he’d done but thinks that was only because he and his family saw him kill it. The owner said the dog was 14 and very friendly and would routinely run up to the truck driver and jump in its lap and he would give it table scraps. The owner said when he asked the truck driver where his dog was the man told him he’d tossed it over the hill. He said the truck driver told him he’d seen it coming out of his chicken coop with a chicken in its mouth and claimed it had already killed 10 chickens. The owner of the dog said he wished his neighbor had come to him first, telling deputies “he would have purchased multiple chickens for (him) if he would have told him about the issue prior to shooting the dog.”
