A troubled homeless woman with a long history of arrests for everything from theft to endangering children, to domestic violence to DUI, who once even locked police out of the Post Office Lobby when they tried to prevent her from camping there was arrested yet again after an incident on Boundary Street.
Around 4 pm, a caller reported an apparently high woman hanging around an empty house. When police arrived, they discovered Amy Thurman, who ran from officers initially. However, they caught up with her and convinced her to go with a drug treatment team.
Thurman reappeared about three hours later at Kroger and police took her into custody for disorderly conduct. This was at least her 20th trip to the Scioto County Jail.
Despite numerous arrests and incidents when Ms. Thurman ran into traffic or was discovered unconscious, she is still roaming the streets.
If you’ll recall, back in 2022, officers had to remove her from the Post Office lobby multiple times every week. At one point, she tied both doors to the lobby shut with clothing. She was also suspected of taking a table from the patio of a downtown restaurant.
