Steubenville Police

Where they shouldn’t be: A man was booked into the Jefferson County jail and two women were cited after police searched an abandoned building in the 200 block of North Commercial Alley, Monday. Police said they found Roy Watkins, 31, 368 Summit Ave., Steubenville, “hiding in a room” and discovered there was an active warrant for his arrest. The women, identified as Marta Cutlip, 48, 726 N. Sixth St., and Lamontea Whatley, 32, 414 N. Sixth St., Apt. 2, were each charged with criminal trespass because they’d allegedly been warned previously that they cannot be on the property. Police said they gave a female juvenile found with Whatley on the third floor of the building a ride to her home and advised not to return to the property.

Pest: A Market Street resident who called for help and then hung up told police a man she knows had been knocking on her door and “she did not want him around so she called 911,” Sunday. Police respond to 911 hangups, and when they showed up at her home the woman told them the knocker was already gone.

Hard bed: Police spotted a man “slumped on the steps” of the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County, Sunday. They stirred him and told him he “cannot be sleeping” there, then stood by while he gathered his things and left.

Drug arrest: A Steubenville man was taken into custody after police allegedly discovered a satchel containing various pills in his possession as well as “a large quantity of a white rock substance” in his pocket during a traffic stop in the 500 block of Maxwell Avenue, Friday. Police said Samuel Jones, 53, was charged with felony drug possession and a female companion, 44-year-old Melissa Marker, 119 George St., Mingo Junction, admitted concealing iems on her body, but had an outstanding warrant in Harrison County. The driver, Jamesina Starr, 38, 636 Banfield Ave., Follansbee, was cited for a loud exhaust, they said.

Missing: A Sotuh Fifth Street resident told police he can’t find two handguns he owns, Sunday. He said all he knows about them is that one is a 9 mm and the other a revolver and both are black. He said he “bought them a long time ago” at a pawn shop and believes a family member may have taken them because “he knows where he keeps them.”

Magnetic attraction: An Arlington Avenue man said a female “was circling his residence in her vehicle and was refusing to leave him alone,” Sunday. Police checked the area several times but she wasn’t in the area, they said.

Causing consternation: Employees at a Sunset Boulevard business told police a man was causing a disturbance in the parking lot and scaring customers, Sunday. Police said the man was “wandering through the lot talking to himself,” but when they told him he had to leave because management no longer wanted him near other customers he completed his purchase and left.

Theft: Employees at Wal-Mart told police a man tried to walk out of the store with merchandise he hadn’t paid for, Sunday. They said the man had grabbed batteries off a display shelf before walking into a food aisle, and when he left the food aisle he no longer had the batteries in his hand. They told police when they confronted he “handed over two packs of batteries” an employee had seen him take off the shelf, along with “a steak that was concealed in his pants” before fleeing on foot. Employees believe he had more merchandise on his person that he hadn’t paid for, and said the three items he’d stolen totaled just over $77.

Served: Lara M. Davis, 55, Pickerington, Ohio, warrant for probation violation (Franklin County), Sunday.

Cited: Kimberly Roots, 54, 480 S. Sixth St., Steubenville, expired registration.

Jefferson County Sheriff

Concerned parent: A county resident requested assistance because an unnamed person was “contributing to a delinquent minor,” Sunday. He said the adult is giving his teenage child “weed and alcohol.” He told deputies he was going to retrieve the child “and will call … when they are back in” Jefferson County but hadn’t as of Monday.

Bad reaction: A Wintersville woman said two people came to her door and wanted to speak with someone there and when she said no, one of them “reacted by kicking her door several times and demanding to be let in.” She said it’s an ongoing issue. The two unwanted visitors were advised to stay away from the residence.
