Steubenville Police

Cut up: A woman with no fixed address was taken into custody after police responding to complaints that a female was seen “dumping garbage in the parking lot” allegedly caught her by the West End water tank with bags of cut up cable and wire that didn’t belong to her, Thursday. Police said when they got to the campus Laura A. Shanley, 54, “appeared to be burying or pushing something down into the snow” along with “an enormous pile of trash that had been strewn throughout the parking lot,” and report that when they questioned her, she “claimed that she was only ‘cleaning’ her car out and had every intention of picking the garbage up. When they asked her why her car was parked “so far away” from her belongings, police claimed she told them she needed to use the restroom and when she couldn’t get into the college she drove “toward the water tower where she then walked into the woods.” As she began gathering her things police followed her footprints in the snow to the water tower, where they located several spools of cable wire belonging to AEP and a large duffel bag containing more wire “that had been compressed into the snow” as well as several other pieces of metal “that had been cut up (and behind an old storage container” behind the tower. Police said Shanley told them “she had been seeing the pile of old wire and cable for years, just being piled up” and assumed it to be abandoned, but they reported finding other bags filled with wire that “had obviously come from another location” that were seized along with the bag allegedly containing the AEP wire. Shanley was charged with theft and was ordered to clean up the mess she’d made “in a timely manner.”

Thanks, but no thanks: A woman who dropped her grandchild off at a Market Street apartment said she got in an argument with the child’s mother and then her son intervened, Thursday. She said her son told her to leave, “then pushed (her) several times and picked her up and threw her to the ground outside.” She didn’t want to file charges, but she did ask police to speak with the family, which they did.
