Fake Cop Targets Misty’s Kone Shoppe
A fake cop targeted Misty’s Kone Shoppe, a Wheelersburg ice cream store, just after 1 am. The scammer called the business and said he was an officer from the Portsmouth Police Department and needed to know how much cash was in the register and how many employees were at the business.
The faker called the business repeatedly from several different phone numbers. Officers logged the incident and said they would try to keep an eye on the business.
Shots Fired at 2 am, Officers Investigate
Just before 2 am, a McDermott resident contacted officers to say there were three people in front of her house holding flashlights and shooting weapons.
The woman later called back and identified the shooter as her neighbor who was standing in the middle of the road shooting.
When deputies spoke to the shooters, they said they were shooting a shotgun at a tree stump. Police advised them not to do that at night.
