On 13 Sep 09 a fifteen year old Lowell resident

pointed his weapon at the teenager. This case remains under

On 13 Sep 09 Deputy Sheriff Carr responded
to a domestic dispute involving Margie Smithberger, age 53,
106 Oak Grove Lane, Marietta, and her daughter Melissa Sterling,
age 24. Stemming from Ms. Sterling’s desire to have a
male spend the night in her room, both women were combative
toward each other. During the fray Ms. Suffered scratch marks
to her back and neck and Ms. Smithberger received a black eye.
Citing equal involvement of both parties, Deputy Carr arrested
Ms. Smithberger and Ms. Sterling both for domestic violence

200 Colegate Drive, Marietta, was yelling at the Trooper and
would not obey orders to stop interfering with the arrest.
Appearing intoxicated, Mr. Johnson quickly pulled away from
Lt. Wilson when he was informed he was under arrest and only
complied when Lt. Wilson utilized his Taser on him. Consequently,
Lt. Wilson charged Mr. Johnson with resisting arrest. Johnson
was transported to the Washington County Jail by the Highway

business.

painkiller and was highly agitated following Ohio State’s
loss against USC. Asked to stop complaining about the football
game, Mr. Ball grabbed his pregnant girlfriend’s left
cheek and pushed her to the floor. Ms. Lupardus left the home
and returned later with a friend, Rachel Paulisin, age 26,
4427 12th Avenue, Parkersburg, at which time Ms. Lupardus told
Mr. Ball to sleep on a couch. Infuriated, Mr. Ball struck Ms.
Lupardus in the head with a Maglite and kicked her down a flight
of stairs. Mr. Ball then picked up a three foot wooden board
