Felonious: An Amsterdam man told deputies an individual known to him fired several shots at a car he was riding in on Wolf Run near Bergholz, Wednesday. Deputies said the man and his mother were passengers in a vehicle operated by a friend who pulled into the passing lane to get around an SUV with its flashers on when the individual on the tractor looked back at them, then pulled a gun out and “shot at them two or three times.” The man said they ducked, but he and the driver watched their assailant in the mirror “holding and pointing the gun at us as he fired the last shot.”
Texting: A Hammondsville resident said his late wife’s mother is harassing him and his children, Wednesday. He said the woman has been telling his children he doesn’t love them and is putting them in harm’s way, and that she’d texted one child that, “I thought you were smarter than what you really are.”
Thief: A resident of Township Road 382, Steubenville, discovered her back door had been pried open while she was away from home, Wednesday. The homeowner reported the intruder pilfered a laundry basket and 75-100 pounds of beef, pork chops, bacon and sausage from her freezer. She told deputies it’s the second time it’s happened

Batty: An Oakmont Avenue resident told police she needed help removing a possible bat from her residence, Thursday.

Stiffed: A Scioto Drive resident said she ordered an $81 door decoration but never received it, Wednesday.
