Crime, Chaos, and Callouts: A Busy Sunday for Scioto County First Responders

From burglaries to medical emergencies, Sunday was anything but quiet for Scioto County’s emergency services. Deputies, EMTs, and firefighters responded to a packed list of incidents across the region — everything from alarm drops and animal complaints to car crashes and crimes in progress. 

While the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office decided to stop providing detailed call logs to Scioto County Daily News in early 2025, we’re committed to keeping you informed with every bit of data available. Here’s a breakdown of what went down on June 1: 

🚨 CRIME & LAW ENFORCEMENT CALLS 

Burglaries:

  • SpeedeeMart/Sunoco, Center Street: Deputies arrested a suspect for public intoxication.

  • Toro Loco, Ohio River Road: An EMS call here didn’t result in a transport. 

Fire Calls: 

  • A structure fire was reported near State Route 73. Units responded and marked it complete. 

🔔 ALARMINGLY BUSY — LITERALLY 

False Alarms Everywhere:
Deputies responded to at least seven alarm drops at various businesses and homes including: 

  • Pepsi Cola Warehouse (three separate times!) 
  • Big Sandy, Gallia Pike 
  • Chamberlin Road, Lick Run Lyra Road, Careys Run-Pond Creek Road, and Glenn Court. 

Nearly all turned out to be false alarms or were canceled en route. 

🐾 ODDS & ENDS 

  • Animal Complaint: Someone called in a concern at the Stoney Creek Apartments on State Route 104. 
  • Neighbor Disputes: Four complaints were logged across Oakwood Avenue, Hammerstein Road, Beekman Road, and Pollock Road. 
  • Patrol & Public Presence: Units were spotted on patrol around Hulet Street, Barker Street, and Franklin Furnace. 
  • Parade Detail: Deputies were on escort duty at Holiday Point Marina. 

From mental health crises to marina arrests and everything in between, Sunday kept emergency responders on their toes. While we no longer receive full narrative reports from the Sheriff’s Office, Scioto County Daily News remains committed to bringing you real-time insights from every available log. 

Stay safe, stay aware — and if you see flashing lights on your street, you’ll find the details here.
