Strange Behavior

A man was reportedly shining a flashlight into the windows of homes while riding a bicycle on East First Street, in The Plains, on Thursday, according to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office. When deputies responded to the area, they made contact with a man fitting the description received.

The man was identified by deputies and taken into custody due to an active warrant. He was taken to the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail with no further incidents. 

So, what is trespassing?

This Isn’t Long-Term Parking

On Thursday, the Athens County Sheriff’s Office received an abandoned vehicle report on North Clinton Street, in The Plains. Deputies spoke with the property owner upon arrival and determined the vehicle owner was unknown. The property owner informed deputies the car was parked there for at least one month.

Careful Where You Toke

But I Wasn’t Stealing

Wrong People to Call

On Tuesday, deputies responded to a property dispute in the Coolville area, according to the Athens County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies spoke with the individuals involved and found the issue to be civil, not criminal.

Didn’t Actually Break the Rules
