Portsmouth Police responded to a report of a man dropping his pants at Kroger and a pregnant teen was assaulted in Wayne Hills. We break down the Portsmouth Police Chief\u2019s Daily Briefing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suspicious Activity<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just after 5 pm, a Campbell Avenue caller reported hearing movement in his garage. He thought someone might be inside. When police arrived, they didn\u2019t find anything suspicious.<\/span><\/p>\n

A local rehab facility contacted police at 5:40 pm to report a troubled man out in the back of the building kicking a telephone pole. Police spoke to him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That Must Have Been a Pretty Boring Movie<\/span><\/h2>\n

Police responded to a report of a man passed out at the Portsmouth Cinema just after 6 pm. He would not wake up but was still breathing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the police arrived, they discovered the man was just asleep. They were able to rouse him. Officers did not say which movie put him out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Candy Thief Hits Marathon<\/span><\/h2>\n

A shoplifter with a sweet tooth hit the Marathon station of the Scioto Trail at 6:13 pm. Witnesses said a woman stuffed her purse with candy bars and fled the scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Officers took information for a report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pregnant Teen Attacked<\/span><\/h2>\n

Police were called to a Wayne Avenue apartment for a report of an assault on a 17-year-old girl. The victim was 37 weeks pregnant and reported she was in pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Officers say the alleged attacker lived just a few apartments away on Thomas Avenue. Officers took information for a report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the Influence<\/span><\/h2>\n

At 6:36 pm, officers responded to an overdose on Castle Street. The man refused treatment. A drug counselor spoke with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Man Drops Pants, Chases Cars at Kroger<\/span><\/h2>\n

At 9:30 pm, officers responded to a report of a man pulling down his pants and chasing after cars at Kroger on Gay Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

It turned out to be a troubled man with whom police have nearly daily contact. Earlier this week, he was arrested twice in 24 hours for erratic behavior and released as well as taken to the hospital after overdosing at the Post Office.\u00a0 He was not taken into custody on this occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

About an hour later, a caller reported him walking in the road hitting things at 3<\/span>rd<\/span> and Chillicothe. Police caught up with him in the 300 block of Chillicothe and advised him to stop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Publisher’s Note<\/b>: When patients are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, mental health facilities usually won’t take them. At the moment, there aren’t enough facilities to accommodate those in need of emergency mental health treatment. Any assistance our citizens can provide in contacting their representatives is greatly appreciated by law enforcement officials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before drafting legislation, our state and federal representatives need to do their research on the issue and talk to those who have knowledge on the subject. Otherwise, you will get what Scioto County has with its numerous non-clinical sober living houses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The last step is accepting help. No matter how well we may provide inpatient mental health treatment and clinical drug treatment, it ultimately boils down to what the individual decides to do.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
