Kind Officer Helps Woman in Wheelchair Get Lunch: Best of the Blotter

Here are some of the most interesting police reports and incidents from departments across the region.

Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction. 

Finally, some good police news- A concerned witness alerted Strongsville police to a woman in a wheelchair riding in the street shortly before noon Jan. 27.

The woman told police although the sidewalks were mainly clear, they were still slushy and her electric wheelchair was getting stuck. 

The officer drove behind the woman as she went so she could get a pizza for lunch, then followed her back to her apartment to make sure she got home safely.

These coaches really fight or their players- Two basketball coaches were issued minor misdemeanor citations for disorderly conduct after they get into a fight during a youth basketball game in Twinsburg

The fight occured during a youth basketball tournament on Jan. 26 at the Edge Sports Performance Academy on Ravenna Road.

A witness to the fight called 911 at about 1:46 p.m. to report the fight, which began after the coaches started arguing about the game.

One of the coaches told police that the other man threw him to the ground. Police officers saw blood on the right hand and nose of one of the coaches. The fight was broken up by other coaches.

The cat came back to life- A woman called Lakewood police at around 2 p.m. Jan. 2, and said that she thought her cat might be dead.

She told police she was too drunk to call the animal warden. She called back later and said that her cat was fine.

Please unlock my car with drugs in it- On Jan. 24, a 30-year-old Akron woman called Bath Township police because she locked her keys in her car.

When officers arrived and got the woman's door open, the smell of marijuana wafted out of the car. When police asked the woman if she had any, she admitted there was a marijuana roach in the ashtray. 

Police charged the woman with drug abuse and she was released at the scene.

Agreed. New site is much too busy and/or confusing. Old format was easy to navigate and followRead More certain stories , a very cumbersome ordeal now. Thumbs down on the change.

I agree. I had even been tempted to start a blog just before this new and "improved"Read More layout. No longer interested in doing that - can't find anything on this patch.

That's odd. I was at the previous meeting, my first - on Global Warming, paid dues for the firstRead More time ever, wrote down my e-mail more than once, and still had no idea there was a meeting was last night.

Along those lines, Diane, I thought an indoor greenhouse would be a good idea. Classes on how toRead More create gardens, grow food, store and preserve food would be an asset to the City.

Diane H. Dreizen & bachtobroadway42 - what interesting ideas! I'd love to see the whole messRead More raised and the area turned into a public park/recreation area with walking trails, bicycle paths, community gardens, etc. It seems the wind turbines could be in a place like that too. That's my dream, but we'll probably get some hideous redundant commercial development instead.

Fantastic ideas. I think a combo of retail and new green technology would be awesome. This is aRead More chance for CH to be innovative and show that it's not about the bottom dollar - it's about preserving what we have. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE NEXT MEETING IS - I WILL BE THERE!!!

Just ignore them then. The important thing is what we're talking about HERE.

Please join the conversation. The proposed school bond would be a timely starting point!
