On 18 Mar 09 Ralph Drains, age 18, 4945 School
House Road, Little Hocking, suffered minor injuries and was
transported to Marietta Memorial Hospital as a precaution after
an accident at Miller’s Supply on State Route 7 in Marietta.
Mr. Drains and another employee were working on a piece of
equipment called a pumpjack when his abdomen became temporarily
pinned between parts of the pumpjack. The other employee freed
Mr. Drains shortly thereafter by lifting the part that had
Mr. Drains pinned (1090).
On 18 Mar 09 Lynsey Erb, age 21, 811 Pioneer
Community Road, Saint Marys, reported she was visiting a friend
at 1308 Williamson Avenue Apt. 3B, New Matamoras when she was
assaulted by the residents of other apartments. Outside the
apartments, Ms. Erb said Ivy M. Ferrell, age 18, Apt. 3C, began
yelling at her and accused her of waking her sleeping child.
Hearing the argument, Betty Dunn, age 60, Apt. 2E, exited her
apartment, grabbed Ms. Erb’s hair and would not let go.
Not wanting “to hit an old woman,” Ms. Erb grabbed
Ms. Dunn’s arms. At that time Ms. Ferrell struck Ms.
Erb and began punching and kicking her in the head when she
fell to the ground. Another nearby resident, April D. Wells,
age 20, Apt. 3E, entered the fray as Ms. Erb walked away and
spit blood on the ground. Ms. Wells punched Ms. Erb in the
back of the head and kicked her numerous times when she fell
to the ground. Interviewed by Deputy Sheriff Eddy, Ms. Ferrell
and Ms. Wells minimized their involvement and would not divulge
information on the other parties involved. As a result of the
incident, Deputy Eddy arrested Ms. Wells and Ms. Ferrell for
assault and transported them to the Washington County Jail.
Deputy Eddy also requested a warrant for disorderly conduct
for Ms. Dunn’s role in this case.
On 18 Mar 09 T.J. Cronin, age 40, 150 Mile
Run Road, Marietta, reported a suspect shot a number of paintballs

the matter further because he feared retaliation by the suspect
(1090).
