Jefferson County Sheriff

Demanding: A woman called 911 and sheriff’s dispatchers at least 13 times in a manner of minutes, calling them “derogatory names and using obscene language,” Tuesday. The woman said she was somewhere in Yorkville but couldn’t tell them where and demanded deputies give her a ride home. They said she called back repeatedly while they were enroute, “cursing them out” because no one was there even though she had no idea where she was at. When they found her they said she was “inappropriately dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and think pants” and no coat. Deputies said she smelled of alcohol.

Over imbibed: A Mingo Junction bar reported a “highly intoxicated man was laying on the sidewalk in front of the business and was having a hard time getting up,” Sunday. Deputies located the man and said that, due to his high level of intoxication, they called an ambulance to transport him to the hospital.

Causing problems: A Dillonvale woman was upset when 911 dispatchers told her she couldn’t bond someone out on a Saturday, Jan. 18. The woman “didn’t like the outcome and had been calling the 911 center non-stop, ever since,” they said. Deputies were dispatched to her home to explain to her she could face charges for misuse of 911 if she continued, but she wasn’t there.

Holding grudge: A Stratton man said his former landlord in Columbiana County is threatening him, Sunday He said he was paid up on his rent and utilities when the landlord changed the locks and evicted him while he was away for a funeral three years ago.

Suspicious: A woman in Bloomingdale was concerned because she found her gate open and thought her neighbors were behind it because she’s had issues with some of them, Friday.

Sucked in: A woman told deputies her mother is being taken advantage of by someone from a fake Facebook profile claiming to be Elon Musk and she was supposed to drive to Pittsburgh to meet him, Jan. 17. The daughter was concerned for her mother’s safety, but when deputies went to her home she wasn’t there. Her husband told them he was “aware of his wife’s donations and (she) was well aware of what she was doing.”

Marital bliss: An argument involving a Wintersville couple ended with her reportedly throwing her phone at her husband and him pushing her to the ground, Jan. 17.
