Bloody Woman Spotted on Piketon Road 

Around 2:30 pm, callers in the area of Piketon Road reported a mysterious woman in a maroon dress walking in the middle of the road.  

Witnesses reported that she refused to move to make way for cars and that she was also looking in mailboxes along the way. However, by the time officers arrived about 45 minutes later, they were unable to locate her. 

Around 3:15 pm, another caller reported a bloody woman on that same stretch of road. He said the woman had blood on her hands and was not acting coherently. He said the woman did not seem to know where she was.

Woman Staggers Into Road, Cusses Out Cops  

Just before 6 pm, deputies responded to a report that a woman was lying on the ground at a house on St. Rt. 139.  

When officers spoke with the woman, she refused to give her name and also refused medical attention. She said she didn’t like cops and did not want to speak to them. She got up and walked across the road.  

About an hour later, a caller reported a woman with blonde hair wearing an American Flag T-Shrit was staggering in and out of traffic. 

Officers recognized her as the same woman from the earlier call. They offered her medical attention or a ride home, and she cussed them out and walked off in the direction of the Family Dollar.  

An hour after that, another caller reported the woman staggering down the road again. Officers returned to the scene but were unable to locate her.

Woman Calls 911 When Neighbor Flips Her Off 

An upset woman called 911 to report that she’d caught her neighbor flipping off her security camera. She felt this act constituted a violation of a no-contact order. 

Dispatch advised her that this was not an emergency and that she should call 411 and not 911. The woman then called back to 911 to ask what the number she needed to call was. Dispatch also advised her that there was not a standing no-contact order with her neighbor, so there was no violation. 

Further, dispatch reminded her not to call 911 unless there was an emergency.
