Forced Eviction
On Monday, Athens County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a domestic incident in The Plains, during which a woman requested keys to a residence after a man threatened to “burn the house down” and refused to relinquish the keys.
According to the Sheriff’s report, the male eventually agreed to give up the keys, and said he would retrieve his belongings the next day. A short while later, he was found “knocking on all the doors and windows” and running away before the woman could answer.
The report notes that deputies spoke to the male again and told him to stop.
The Scream
On Sunday, ACSO deputies were dispatched to Guysville after receiving reports of a man “yelling very loudly” outside an apartment complex.
While on scene, deputies found a woman who had an outstanding warrant from Belpre. She was placed under arrest and transported to the Belpre Police Department, while the man who was reported to have been yelling was transported to O’Bleness Memorial Hospital for an evaluation, according to the Sheriff’s report.
Sleepless in Athens County
That same day, deputies responded to reports of a domestic verbal dispute, during which a man said his wife “would not go to sleep” and kept waking him up. The man told deputies his wife was not only under the influence of alcohol, but had taken medication as well. Upon speaking with officers, the wife claimed she was not tired, and “did not wish to go to sleep,” denying her husband’s claims.
Deputies told the man he “could not force his wife to sleep” and resumed patrol, according to the police report.
