No return: A man staying at Beacon House was cited after he allegedly flipped a table over in front of police, then wouldn’t stop “cussing and yelling” because his charger cord was stolen, Friday. Police said they couldn’t convince Christopher Little, 40, no fixed address, to calm down, even after they told him they’d “watch the video and attempt to get his cord back” and claim he continued to “scream and cuss outside, causing a disturbance.” Little told them he was leaving but when they told him the staff didn’t want him to return they report he “turned around and began to get in (an officer’s) face, “screaming and not leaving.” Little was cited for disorderly conduct, police said.

Nurses struck: Two more nurses, one of them pregnant, told police they want to pursue charges after a patient in the Progressive Care Unit struck them, Friday. Police said the male “was uncooperative and denied any wrongdoing,” but told them he was upset the two nurses “woke him up for some kind of treatment.” One of the nurses said they’ve dealt with the man “pretty regularly” but this is the first time he actually struck anyone. The pregnant nurse was “extremely upset” and said the patient had “swung his hand back toward her in an attempt to get her away from his hospital bed and actually struck her … in the middle of her stomach.”

Booked: A city resident who’d been warned to stop yelling earlier in the evening ended up in police custody after police had to talk to him about it a second time at the intersection of Sixth and Market streets, Saturday.

Fourth St., Apt. 308, Steubenville, was waving his arms above his head and yelling in the early morning hours and when they told him why they’d stopped, became “immediately passive-aggressive as well as argumentative and stated multiple times that he could do that.” Young allegedly “took a step toward (an officer) in an aggressive manner” while behaving confrontationally. They reported he smelled of alcohol and resisted when they tried to take him into custody, and claimed that once at the jail he told them they’d “messed with the wrong one and we were going to die.” Young was booked into the Jefferson County jail on charges of intoxication/disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, retaliation, counterfeit controlled substance and use of sidewalk, Saturday, police said.
