Questions about report: An Oak Grove resident said he had a run in with juveniles harassing his girlfriend, and after chasing them away the father of one of the juveniles showed up threatening to shoot him for pulling a gun on his son, Wednesday. The man who’d had the run-in with the children told police he doesn’t have a gun and would produce security camera footage of the incident.

Bitter break: A couple in the 1000 block of Wilson Avenue was having trouble ending their relationship with civility, Tuesday.

Police told them they don’t referee disputes over property, and explained the eviction process to them. They were called back to the residence a short time later when the male reported the woman was becoming violent. Police said he’d recorded her breaking her own glasses, so they documented the condition of the residence “in case she would damage anything structural.” The man then told them he was going to bed and would lock himself in his room.

Booked: Robert A. Love, 50, 531 Linden Ave., Steubenville, was charged with possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia, Sunday. Love was found on the floor of an upstairs bedroom, unconscious. The people who found him said they didn’t see him use drugs, but police said his breathing was shallow and his skin was gray, both consistent with an overdose, and when Steubenville firefighters administered Narcan he had a positive reaction. After he was taken to the ambulance police allegedly spotted a crack pipe with burned chor and a burned spoon in plain view on a television stand next to where he’d been lying.

Fearing she was slipping into an overdosed state, an officer called for an ambulance and restrained her to prevent further injury and said he talked to her to try to keep her awake. Firefighters arrived and administered nasal Narcan, after which she was able to speak coherently in short bursts and told them she’d taken fentanyl. Because she’d already been given two or more overdose forms she was informed she would face charges. When she was searched officers said they located a blue silicone capsule containing a white rock substance believed to be crack.

Murky dealings: A Cadiz man who’d paid his boss for $4,000 for a used car and had the title change notarized and the vehicle insured said the man waited until he wasn’t around and took it back on his lot, then convinced the state to issue him a lost title and now has the vehicle listed for sale, Tuesday. He told deputies the only reason he hadn’t completed the title change was that he ran out of cash that day to cover the taxes due. In the days since he said he was driving his boss’s tow truck, which he said the boss had assured him was insured, only to find out when he was stopped by Ohio State Highway Patrol that it wasn’t, and ended up with a suspended license, then his boss fired him because of it. He said when he went to his former boss to find out why his car was on the man’s lot and “tried to be civil about it,” the man told him to leave his property and said he’d already “filed for a lost title and now has a clear title to the car.”

Some friends: A Tweed Avenue resident told deputies that someone broke into his house while he was in jail, Monday.
