A West Portsmouth man contacted the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office just before 1 am to report an incident on Careys Run Road.
He told police someone kicked in his front door, breaking the lock. The man claimed his ex-wife and stepson were behind the break-in, pointing to the fact that only his former wife’s belongings were taken from the home.
He said she did not have a key to the deadbolt and that he received Facebook messages from his ex saying that she had the missing items.
Since her items were the only things missing, he decided he did not want to file a police report, but he did want the incident documented.
