Steubenville Police

Pushed to the limit: A man whose wife was jailed for domestic violence said she was released from jail after her charge was knocked down to disorderly conduct and wanted to argue, Friday. There was no protection order issued so police couldn’t make her leave and told the two to steer clear of each other until things calmed down. She wanted to know how she could get her son’s girlfriend evicted from the residence. Nearly four hours later police were called back to the residence by her husband, who police said “seemed to be very distraught” and wanted them to get her away from him.

She wanted to pursue charges.

A caller had reported the dog was in a cage inside the property, and police said when they knocked at the door no one answered but the garage door was partially opened and unlocked so they entered the property.
