On Wednesday, May 7, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office responded to 66 separate calls throughout the county. These incidents covered a wide range of public safety matters. It’s important to note that as of recent policy changes, the Sheriff’s Office no longer provides detailed narratives or outcomes with their call logs, meaning we are limited to basic call types and locations without context previously shared with the public.

The Sheriff’s Office and local EMS remained active throughout the day, handling a variety of incidents ranging from theft and mental health concerns to minor accidents and alarm activations. Theft reports were notably frequent, and there was at least one confirmed arrest made. The day also included several traffic warnings and complaints involving suspicious activity. Emergency medical services responded quickly to several calls, with over half resulting in patient transport.
Due to the Sheriff’s Office’s reduced transparency in daily reporting, we are unable to provide the same level of narrative detail we have in past reports. We will continue to report factual summaries and encourage the public to reach out to the department for more information when needed.
