1. Cops Called Over Potato Chip Incident
A Portsmouth man is really fond of his potato chips. His teenage cousin took a bag of chips from his home without permission. The teen’s father contacted police at 1:55 pm to report the man was now threatening the kid.
Officers spoke to the boy’s father and also advised the angry cousin about the possibility of burglary or trespass charges against the nephew.
Police said they would follow up with the teen’s grandmother, who was out of state.
2. Squatters Make Off With Floor?
An Otway caller contacted the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office to report a strange burglary just before 9:30 am. The caller said there were some suspicious goings-on at a vacation home.
The house should have been empty, but a man and a woman were squatting there and she had spotted them taking things out of the residence.
When officers arrived to investigate, they discovered the door to the home open, and it seemed to have been opened by force.
There was no one inside the home, but the floor was missing, and there were soda cans on the countertops and cigarette butts. The officer tried to secure the resident and tried to find information for the homeowner.
