Police Blotters for August 20

July 27, 2:57 a.m.: Officer Devin Small observed a blue Jeep Cherokee traveling southbound on South Main Street weaving from side to side.

The driver then crossed over the double yellow line, at which time Small activated his overhead lights in an attempt to initiate a traffic stop. The driver abruptly turned in to a residence at 830 S. Main St.

As Small approached the vehicle, the driver then quickly exited the vehicle. After talking to the driver, Small was able to get him to walk over to his cruiser.

After an investigation, the driver, Christopher Abraham was arrested and charged with OVI, state refusal, weaving in marked lanes, drug abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evidence, resisting arrest, unsafe vehicle and driving with expired license plates.

Since Abraham was unable to post his $14,000 bond, he was transported to the Lorain County Jail to await his appearance in Oberlin Municipal Court.

July 27, 1 p.m.: A 19-year-old female, claiming to have been a victim of an assault, came to the Amherst Police Department requesting to speak with an officer.

After all of the information was taken, the unidentified female requested arrest charges against a 23-year-old Matthew Kolcun of Amherst.

Officers were eventually able to make contact with this male at his home at 1170 Royal Dr., where police say the alleged incident took place. He was then taken in to custody without incident.

Kolcun has been formally charged with abduction, assault, aggravated menacing and disrupting public services.

He was then transported and booked into the Lorain County Jail.

July 27: Officer Michael Rosebeck was dispatched to Nate's Marathon in reference to a theft complaint.

Upon arrival, Rosebeck met with the complainant who advised he was approached by an unidentified male requesting change for a $100 bill.

The complainant offered to go to an automated teller machine to obtain the change and upon his return, he gave the male suspect the $100 in $20 denominations.

However, the male fled on foot without giving the complainant the $100 bill.

The investigation is ongoing.
