Police Blotter: Car left blocking well; cows found in road

Weird Place to Leave Your Car

An abandoned vehicle was reported on Industrial Drive, in Athens, according to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office. When deputies arrived, they discovered a car blocking the road leading to a public water well.

Deputies tried to contact the owner, but were unable to do so. They attached a four-hour removal tag to the car.

Careful Who You Send What

The Athens County Sheriff’s Office received a sexting complaint over the weekend. Deputies took a report and an investigation is pending.

COWS

Deputies responded to Alderman Road, in Millfield, regarding a report of ‘cows at large,’ according to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office. The cows’ owner was reached and they were taken home.

Guard Dog

The Athens County Sheriff’s Office received a call reporting a breaking and entering on Columbus Road, in Athens. When deputies arrived, they spoke with the caller, who said an old acquaintance had tried to get into her apartment. 

She said the man was met at the door by her dog, causing him to leave. The case is under further investigation.

Check With The Owner First

A breaking and entering was reported on Cline St., in The Plains, according to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office. When deputies arrived, the resident told them she was having repairs done on the home. 

As nothing was amiss, deputies returned to patrol.

Streaking?

The Athens County Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple calls from The Plains regarding a naked woman running through the neighborhood. Callers reported she may have been under the influence of drugs.

When deputies arrived, they spoke with two residents who reported the woman tried to enter their homes. The woman was found on the side porch of the second home. They discovered she was having a “mental crisis” while under the influence of drugs.

She was taken into custody for mental and medical assistance.
