Jefferson County Sheriff

Not listening: A woman living on township Road 381 told deputies a man who claims to be her landlord’s son had walked in uninvited, Friday. She said the man was “highly intoxicated and refused to leave because…it’s his property.” The woman said she’d seen him try to get in her house once before and stopped him and felt the second time she had to call police. Deputies said the male was “extremely intoxicated and arguing with them about (their) presence there.” When they said they’d received a complaint that he’d tried to enter a neighbor’s property “he stated he never did such a thing,” they said, and when he continued arguing with them, he was told to go to bed and stop leaving his property while he was drunk. They said he eventually said he would go to bed and went back in his house, but deputies said five minutes later while they were speaking to the woman, they watched him leave his house and start walking over to the woman’s home. Deputies intercepted him and report he “seemed completely confused” about why they were there. When they warned him he needed to stay away from the woman’s property they said he “began to argue that he is on his own property and… he wasn’t doing anything wrong.” They warned him he could be arrested if he did it again and sent him back to his own house.

Puff n’stuff: A county resident said a friend of her son’s she doesn’t like blocked her husband’s car in, and when her husband asked her to move it she refused.

She said the girl suddenly stopped screaming and left.

Goodbyes: A woman locked herself in her car because her fiance was yelling at her after she asked him to leave, Thursday.

Two hours later police were called to the 300 block of North Fifth Street after Steubenville firefighters reported a man was “lying on the ground in his underwear, possibly overdosed,” but when police arrived they said he was “completely dressed and coherent.” They suggested he stay at City Rescue Mission for the night and he agreed. Fifteen minutes later police saw the same man at a property in the 200 block of North Seventh Street where he’d previously been told he was no longer welcome.

Police saw the woman they’d described going into Kroger and realized she’d been banned from the property. Elizabeth M. Ely, 39, 32 Woodmont Ave., Steubenville, was booked for contempt of court, police said.

Exposed: A woman sitting in her car while she waited for her laundry to finish drying said a male got out of another vehicle that had pulled into the lot with his pants down, Saturday.

Title fight: The owner of a vehicle that was towed a month ago and the man who was operating it when it was seized told police that while he was in jail someone claiming to be the owner took possession of it, then sold it at auction, Friday. The owner said she’d tried to retrieve it herself but was told it couldn’t be released at the time, so when the man who’d been driving it reached out to the impound lot he was told it had been released to someone claiming to be the registered owner. The male said he knew the woman was in Columbus that day and there were no liens on the vehicle. They said the owner of the car lot that had taken possession of it “realized that a mistake had been made” after the auction and bought the vehicle back from the buyer. The two of them are concerned that the woman will not be able to get the vehicle back “as it is no longer in (her) name.” Police said at that time they don’t know how the car seller got possession of the same title that (the owner and the man who was driving it) had or how the reseller had the title transferred into (his) name without the woman’s signature, since she was the actual owner.

Poker face: A woman in the 700 block of North Seventh Street said a man grabbed her and poked her forehead after she told him she didn’t have a cigarette, Saturday. She had some redness and scratch marks on her arm. She said she knows who he is because he lives in her building and told police she wants to pursue charges.
