Steubenville Police

Unrequited: A woman working at a Steubenville business said for the past two years a man keeps “coming to her workplace … stating they are going to get married,” Monday. She told police the man “even purchased wedding rings” and has “continued to come to her place of business … (and) will sit and stare at her” for extended periods and she’s had to block him on several social media sites. Police told her to look into having her employers ban him from her workplace, to call them immediately if he returns and advised her how to obtain an order of protection.

Walk-ins not welcome: A city resident was taken into custody after four juveniles in the 800 block of North Eighth Street reported an intruder, Monday. As they arrived police said “several juveniles” were screaming that a man was in their home. The man said he was at his brother’s home on Franklin Avenue and saw the little boy outside. After returning home he said he received a notice that his debit card was being used and realized he’d lost his wallet, so he “went to the little boy’s residence” and the boy gave him $130 of his money. When he demanded his wallet, the boy said he didn’t have it and then told him he was calling police, which he encouraged. When police went inside the home they discovered “the TV flipped upside down on the couch (and) a wire from the TV leading out the front door” and said the kids “were all talking at once” and after quieting them the youngest told them her brother opened the door “and the man yelled at him … then he came inside and broke all of (their) toys.” The girl said the intruder “took their game console and almost broke the TV” and that “she was very scared.” The kids then told police the boy had found the wallet and brought it to their babysitter, who took the money out and split it with them and took them to a nearby store where they bought “toys and candy.” They said the intruder took the items they purchased “and smashed them,” then “threw a bike at the porch, knocking the support post off.” Police said the observed “toys smashed … the porch support damaged and an Xbox laying in the yard.” Police said Justin Hendricks, 33, 338 Lawson Ave., was booked into the Jefferson County jail on a burglary charge.

Dollar day: Employees at Wal-Mart said a woman at the self-checkout was scanning her order in but everything was coming up for $1, Monday. The machine was paused so they could fix the discrepancies, but the woman “decided to turn the clothing over and did not proceed with attempting to steal them.” They detained her anyway and when they told her they’d called police, she allegedly produced several items concealed in her purse. The woman told police she steals “because she does not have money.”

Something’s fishy: A woman said she was sitting in the lower lot at Belleview Park talking on the phone when a “younger white female” exited a sedan and asked her “if this area was a playground and if (she) knew how to use the equipment,” Monday. The caller said she didn’t engage in conversation with the girl because she was on the phone and told her as much. The girl lingered for a few minutes, she said, and told police she thinks “the other occupants in the (sedan) were recording the interaction.” She said the girl “walked away through the trail that goes behind the fields closer to the wooded area” and then the male driver got out and followed her on the trail, so she “sped up and left the area.”

Vandalized: A resident in the 200 block of Belleview Boulevard reported finding a broken garage window, Monday. Police said there was a large piece of cement laying inside the detached garage, but the owner said he isn’t sure when it happened since he hadn’t been in it for several days and had only spotted the glass in the driveway that day.

Lost him: A city resident requested help locating her father, Monday. She said she last saw him Nov. 1 at an area hospital. Police contacted the hospital and learned he’d been discharged four days later and sent to a nursing home.

Charged: Ashley B. Dukeman, 43, 150 Leonard Ave., Wintersville, theft, Monday.
