Portsmouth Police Officers attempted to help out two women with no place to go.
Just after 1 am, a Portsmouth Police Officer attempted to help a homeless woman they spoke to at the intersection of Auburn and Bonser. She gave them an address to transport her to, but police said that address did not exist. Officers were unable to find a place for the woman to stay for the night.
At 3 am, an officer responded to a request to remove a vagrant from the ATM lobby at the PNC Bank. No one was in the lobby, but officers did speak to a man outside the building and advised him to move along.
Just before 11 am, a caller reported a fire burning on the north side of the railroad tracks near Offnere underneath the billboards. Police discovered someone had a campfire going and put the fire out.
At 10 pm, a caller reported an apparently high woman throwing up in a yard on the Scioto Trail. When officers responded to the scene, they said the woman did not appear to be high. She told police she’d recently been released from the hospital for dehydration and was going to attempt to find a place to stay at a friend’s apartment. She refused medical attention, and the police sent her on her way.
Just after midnight, a caller reported a woman walking around in circles on Offnere Street talking to herself and looking in windows. An officer spoke to the woman and arranged for an ambulance to take her to the hospital.
