It was a wild start to the week for Portsmouth Police. They kicked off their Monday morning with a manhunt. We’ve got lots of ODs, a lot of stick-fingers, and the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen happened at Kroger. Read on to find out what went down.

Drugs and ODs

  • Just after noon n Sunday, police made one of their daily trips to the Royal Inn. Unsurprisingly, it was for an overdose. The woman refused assistance.
  • At noon on Monday police received a report of two men in a blue Nissan at the Mabert Road Baptist Church. The Witness reported they were flopping around on top of the car.

  • At 2:22 on Monday, officers responded to a welfare check on another toddler. The caller said the child was living in a house full of bedbugs, roaches, and fleas. Additionally, the caller claimed adults were doing drugs in front of the child. Police say the house and child were fine. There were no signs of drugs.
8

  • Just after 9 pm on Sunday, a man called to say he found his stolen Bobcat loader at a home on the Scioto Trail. Police assisted him in getting his property back.
10

Manhunt

Monday got off to an exciting start for PPD officers. They received a call just after midnight reporting a man with a gun on Thomas Avenue. A caller said he saw a man pointing a gun at a woman.

When police arrived, they spotted a man with an active warrant in Lawrence County and took him into custody. They never found the guy with the gun  but they did pick up a suspect to hand over to Lawrence County.

11

Fishy Story

  • A report of a missing van came with a very convoluted story. Police were called out to 17th Street and Thomas at 1 am on Monday.
  • The caller claimed a someone had taken their van the previous week and that they were currently following that person through town.
  • Police intercepted that van at 17th and Hutchins.
  • The person who reported the van missing had a couple of different stories about how she got it. The registration for the vehicle turned out to be fake.  At first, she claimed she’d loaned it to the driver to get materials. Then she claimed someone had left it on her property.
  • Since the driver didn’t have a license and there was no valid registration, the van was taken to impound. Police told her she could have it when she produced a valid title.
12

Back off Mom’s Stimulus Money

A worried son called police just before 9 am on Monday. He thought someone was trying to get his mother’s stimulus money.

Police responded to her 17th Street Apartment. She seemed fine and didn’t want help from police.

13

Grandma Patrol

  • Officers got a call from a 17th Street mother just after 10 am on Monday. She said her mother had taken her children for a couple of days and she wanted them back. Police spoke to the Grandmother in Otway. She’s returning the kids.
  • Another grandmother called just after 11:30 am from just down the street on Kendall Avenue. She said her granddaughter had texted that she was about to get jumped.
14

Meanwhile at Kroger

Absolutely nothing happened. Not one single call to Kroger between Friday and Monday. In all the time we’ve been doing police reports, that’s never happened.

Maybe the shoplifters have decided to socially distance themselves. Maybe the shelves have been stripped so bare there’s nothing they want to steal.
