On 8 May 09 Deputy Sheriff Travaglio issued a citation to Charles L. Augenstein Jr., age 34, 1560 State Route 550, Bartlett, for not wearing a seat belt. Deputy Travaglio originally stopped Mr. Augenstein driving outside the marked lanes of travel on State Route 550 near Graham Road in Wesley Township.

On 8 May 09 Kimberly Michael, age 33, 23560 State Route 339, Beverly, reported she attempted to leave her residence while holding her two year old daughter to avoid further problems caused by her live-in boyfriend Michael Brannan, age 35, repeatedly accusing her of having an affair. While inside the garage area, Ms. Michael said her boyfriend would not allow her to leave the home with their daughter so she hit him in the arm. At that point, Mr. Brannan said he reflexively pushed Ms. Michael, causing her and the toddler to fall to the ground. As a result of his investigation, Deputy Carr arrested Mr. Brannan for domestic violence and transported him to the Washington County Jail.

On 8 May 09 Lt. Canavan and Deputy Sheriff Anderson were en route to a fracas involving several subjects at 700 Greenhill Road, Marietta, when they encountered a white male who was holding his side and was covered in blood and dirt. Identified as Anthony Martin, age 23, the individual said he lives at the aforementioned address with his mother Angela Harkins, age 46, and her boyfriend William Aronhalt, age 56. As Lt. Canavan returned Mr. Martin to the scene, Mr. Martin stated the melee began over a phone call during which he refused to allow his estranged wife to take their two children because she is currently living with a registered sex offender in West Virginia. Mr. Martin said around 11:30 am his estranged wife, her mother Jodie Kirl, age 39, Route 1 Box 196 Apt. B, Parkersburg, and two friends, one of whom he identified as Michael T. Powell, age 20, 1710 Park Street, Parkersburg, appeared at the residence. At the scene, Mr. Aronhalt detailed to Deputy Anderson that he answered a knock at the door and Ms. Kirl pushed him aside and barged into the home screaming, “I’m taking the kids!” Stepping outside the residence to keep anyone else from entering, Mr. Aronhalt said he was attacked with a shovel and a 2 x 2 piece of wood by Mr. Powell and the other male. Inside the residence, Ms. Kirl pushed Mr. Martin and Ms. Harkins onto a baby crib, causing it to collapse and then began hitting the two along with her daughter. Escaping and attempting to assist Mr. Aronhalt, Mr. Martin was also attacked by the assailants before the two retreated inside the home. By the time the skirmish finished Mr. Martin was also hit in the ribs with a brick and the two children vanished. On 10 May Deputy Anderson gathered enough information to request warrants for Ms. Kirl and Mr. Powell for aggravated burglary and felonious assault. When he obtains further information on Mr. Martin’s estranged wife and the other male subject, Deputy Anderson will file charges on them as well.
