Steubenville Police
Mail fraud: A resident in the 1300 block of Oregon Avenue told police her neighbor has been taking her mail, Monday. She said they share a duplex and produced video of the neighbor kicking a package off her side of the porch “and continuing to kick it down the street” on March 5, then two days later the neighbor grabbed a package from the caller’s side of the porch “and begin to walk back into her residence with it” until the caller activated her security camera and yelled at her to put it back.
Good deed: Police were called to a city residence to assist EMS with a woman who was being transported to the hospital because she wasn’t feeling well, Monday. They said the woman asked them to lock her side door, but when they went around the corner they discovered groceries that she had just bought lying on the ground near her door, so officers gathered them and put them in her refrigerator for her.
Hunger buster: A North Sixth Street resident said he was sitting on his porch when a man apprached and “asked if he wanted any Oreos,” Monday. He said after he told the man he’s diabetic the man “ran around the side of the building toward the dumpsters” and he heard “lots of commotion.” When he went around the corner to see what was going on he discovered the man left 11 packs of double-stuffed Oreos in a plastic bag behind the dumpster.
Making it up: A woman in the 2500 block of Chestnut Street told dispatchers her son “struck her and was damaging the house,” Monday. Police said she told them her son “punched her in the eye and threw her on the floor,” but noted she had no injuries or marks. They said her son was in the house and calm and told them they’d argued over money but it never escalated to violence, at which point his mother said she “may have struck her eye on the door on her way out. When they asked her what had been damaged, they said the caller told them she “was unsure what had taken place” and was just “very upset.”
Crime of opportunity: A man said he dropped his wallet in the downtown Speedway and was told another man picked it up and left, Monday. He said the man returned to the store five minutes later and gave him back his wallet, minus $600 he’d had in it. He told police he’d like to pursue charges.
Standout: Employees at Wal-Mart reported a purple-haired woman had just fled the store without paying for merchandise she’d allegedly stuffed in a pink and white bag, Monday. An off-duty Jefferson County sheriff’s deputy spotted the woman getting into a red coupe and followed the vehicle to Sunset Boulevard, where police pulled the car over. Police said they saw several food items in plain sight from Wal-Mart and when they searched the vehicle reported finding “dozens of items, including food and clothing.” Wal-Mart employees collected their merchandise, which totaled $160.77. Police said they charged Mary Eddy, 36, 1522 Maryland Ave., Steubenville, with petit theft and cited the driver, Jian Minnifield, 27, no fixed address, for driving under suspension.
Damaged: A resident who parked in the 700 block of Kendall Avenue reported a hit-skip driver damaged his vehicle, Monday. Police said his driver’s side door and side mirror were damaged.

Jefferson County Sheriff
Fired up: Yorkville, Tiltonsville and Rayland firefighters reported an aggressive homeowner “at a fire they were trying to extinguish on Jackson Heights Road.” Deputies said the property owner was calm when they arrived and said wasn’t aware of a burn order being issued and was burning an old couch. EMTs advised he’d “screamed at them but soon calmed down after they spoke with him.”
Changed her mind: A county resident told police she wasn’t home but her “on-again, off-again boyfriend” had sent her pictures of himself inside her home, Monday. He admitted to deputies he’d been inside but said she’d asked him to “make a surprise visit and wake her up” several days earlier. Both admitted they “been intimate on multiple occasions,” deputies noted. The female told deputies she doesn’t want him returning to her property.
Troubled: Deputies were asked to assist with a woman who was being assaulted at a Mingo Junction location, Monday. They said they spoke with a man and a woman who assured them nothing had happened “and they didn’t know why were there,” but 15 minutes after they left deputies had to return. This time, the male was on the porch and said he wanted the female “out of the house.” They said when he was asked what had happened, he “kept saying (deputies) weren’t taking him to jail.” The female eventually told a deputy he had slapped her face but it didn’t leave any marks. She left.
Bad information: A woman told police her sister had texted her from jail to report her home in Dillonvale had been vandalized, Monday. She said her sister said there were “unknown individuals in her residence that are not permitted to be there.” Jail staff spoke with the inmate, who said her boyfriend was at her residence when he was “jumped by several individuals and he witnessed several broken.” Deputies checked the home and said they found all windows and doors to be secured.
