Police Blotter for August 13

July 13, 2:17 a.m.: Officer Devin Small advised dispatch of a vehicle which was traveling the wrong way down Park Avenue.

As the vehicle turned right on Church Street, so did Small who was following behind.

As the driver speeded up and slowed down several times, Small initiated a traffic stop at the intersection with Elyria Avenue.

Upon investigation, it was concluded the driver, Gretchen Swann was intoxicated. She was arrested and charged with OVI, having a blood alcohol level over .008 percent, going the wrong way down a one-way street and weaving.

Swann was later released to her father after signing a $2,300 personal bond.

July 20: Officer Robert Lane was dispatched to Crocker Street in reference to a vehicle being driven through the back of a garage.

Upon arrival, Lane learned the 88-year-old male was attempting to pull his vehicle in to his attached garage, when the vehicle suddenly accelerated, crashing through the partially open garage door, through the back wall and then traveled another 45 feet before crashing through the front of his workshop shed.

Neither the unidentified 88-year-old male nor his 84-year-old wife were seriously injured.

Both of them refused treatment at the scene for their injuries.

July 21, 11:51 p.m.: Officer Jacob Perez was on patrol on Woodhill Drive when he noticed a tan Honda Accord traveling northbound, operating without a visible exhaust, which produced an excessive noise.

After Perez initiated a traffic stop, the driver, Micheal Opel, acknowledged his missing muffler, but told Perez he didn't have the money to fix it.

While Perez was speaking with Opel, he detected an odor of burnt marijuana emanating from the interior of the vehicle.

Opel was arrested and later charged with drug abuse, possession of marijuana, two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and having a faulty exhaust.

July 22, 12:36 a.m.: Officer Jacob Perez was on patrol on Cleveland Avenue when he noticed a blue Chevrolet Silveraldo traveling eastbound, weaving from side to side.

As the driver, Jacob McQueen approached Washington Street, the traffic light turned red for those who were traveling eastbound.

Perez noticed McQueen came to an abrupt stop just prior to the intersection, activated his left turn signal and made what Perez called an aggressive turn, turning in to a driveway at a high rate of speed at 475 Cleveland Avenue.

According to the police report, it appeared to Perez that McQueen was trying to elude him.

After Perez conducted a traffic stop in the driveway of the residence, it was clear to him that McQueen exhibited signs of being intoxicated.

After further investigation, McQueen was arrested and later charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, having a blood alcohol level over .008 percent and weaving the course.

July 23, 2:30 p.m.: Officer Troy Donaldson was dispatched to Shupe Elementary School for a criminal damaging complaint.

Upon arrival, Donaldson met Anthony Jordan, who is the head custodian with the school.

Two windows on each trailer had windows broken on the south side. Three of the windows had both panes broken and one with just the outside pane broken.

Several rocks were located inside the trailers and the mess had already been cleaned up by the time Donaldson arrived on-scene.

The staff requested that only a police report be on file for administrative purposes.
