Blotter: Trees timbered; mail missing

We weren’t doing anything

Over the weekend, deputies from the Athens County Sheriff’s Office responded to a suspicious vehicle on Monk Road. 

Two men were in the car but were not doing anything illegal. 

I didn’t send it

Deputies received a report of someone’s email being hacked over the weekend. 

The person reported several of their friends and contacts received suspicious emails from their account asking for money, which the individual did not send.   

The individual changed their password and reviewed security settings. 

Yelling timber

Over the weekend, a man who lives on Houston Road reported some trees on his property were timbered. 

A report was taken. 

Backup for bicycles?

Extra patrol was requested over the weekend at the old Chauncey School in regard to multiple  juveniles in the parking lot who were riding bicycles. 

Criminal activity was not observed during patrol. 

Sorry, my car broke down

Over the weekend deputies got a report of a suspicious vehicle near a Chauncey residence. 

The caller said the vehicle pulled off the road near their home and had the hood up on the car. 

Deputies located the vehicle and spoke to the person driving the car. The individual was having mechanical issues with the car and was trying to let it cool down before leaving. 

A major scheduling issue

Deputies reported to State Route 691 in Nelsonville over the weekend due to a report of someone trespassing at an Airbnb.

After deputies spoke to the manager and the person involved, it turned out it was just a scheduling error.

No further action was needed. 

Who set it off?

Over the weekend, deputies responded to The Plains for a commercial intrusion alarm which was activated.

The building was secure and no evidence of tampering or forced entry were found. 

The situation was determined to be a false alarm. 

Making renovations

Deputies responded Tuesday to a call of possible trespasser in a vacant trailer in Tomoko Trailer Park. 

The alleged trespasser was actually the owner of the trailer. The man said he is currently remodeling the trailer. 

Lost mail

Deputies took a report on Tuesday regarding stolen mail that was found on the roadway.  

Deputies found the mail and returned it to its owners. 

Who was in my mailbox?

On Tuesday, deputies responded to Fisher Road for a possible theft report. 

The individual reported her mailbox was open and her mail was gone. 

The case is being referred to the postmaster.
