Marietta, when one of the home’s residents, Yvonne M.
Duskey, age 23, became disruptive. Ms. Duskey had a strong
odor of alcohol, yelled, screamed and would not comply with
the home’s staff. As a result, Major Winstanley arrested
Ms. Duskey for disorderly conduct by intoxication and transported

On 11 Oct 07 Deputy Sheriff Morris requested
a summons for a fifteen year old Marietta resident to appear

passenger in a vehicle stopped for a traffic violation when

On 11 Oct 07 Deputy Sheriff Staats issued
a minor misdemeanor citation to Tyson A. Dennis, age 19, 206
Laramie Road, Marietta, for possession of marijuana. Deputy

On 11 Oct 07 Lt. Wilson issued a citation
to William H. Nance, age 54, 299 Township Road 1214, Ironton,
for traveling the wrong way on a one way street. Lt. Wilson
stopped Mr. Nance after he observed him enter the exit ramp
from US 50 to State Route 339 in Belpre Township. Learning
Mr. Nance was a concealed carry license holder, Lt. Wilson
twice asked Mr. Nance if there was a weapon in the vehicle.
Despite Mr. Nance's reply there was no weapon in the truck,
Lt. Wilson discovered a Glock 23 in a case partially covered
by a shirt, a violation of weapons laws. Because Mr. Nance
did not immediately notify Lt. Wilson of the weapon, Lt. Wilson
will request a summons for Mr. Nance for violating the terms
of his license to carry a concealed weapon.
