3 May 2025 Deputy Norris was dispatched to Williamson Avenue, New Matamoras, Grandview Township, in regards to a report of Andrew D. Creighton taking a dog the previous night around 2130 hrs. 2 May 2025 a man was observed carrying a smaller dog and walked past the owner of the dog as they were walking to their vehicle. The owner didn’t pay much attention to the male, and then realized their dog was not inside their apartment. The owner then approached the subject, and identified him as Andrew Creighton. The owner also identified the dog he was carrying as hers. The owner told Creighton to give her dog back to her and he made a comment along the lines of “I’m taking your dog on a ride, I’m sick of people. What part of your dog do you want back?”, and making a derogatory statement about the dog's return. Creighton then took off in the vehicle and did not return the dog. A warrant was requested through Marietta Municipal Court and issued for the arrest of Anthony Don Creighton, age 34, 2090 Sheets Run Drive, New Matamoras, OH, on a charge of theft and burglary.
8 May 2025 Deputy Gerber responded to a domestic dispute at 630 Mercer Road, Stockport, Wesley Township, following a report from Jodi Ditterline involving her and a family member. Ditterline contacted dispatch, stating she had left the residence and would meet a deputy at the end of the road. Upon Deputy Gerber’s arrival, Ditterline was not present, and the vehicle was found in the driveway. Deputy Gerber was advised Ditterline left in a black Toyota. In speaking with the family member, he stated that after returning home early from work, which upset Ditterline, who had been drinking and became belligerent, a verbal argument escalated. Ditterline then threw a drying rack of dishes across the kitchen in the victim’s direction, shattering them on the floor. Deputy Gerber observed the broken dishes on the scene. It was further reported that the argument turned physical, with Ditterline allegedly biting the victim’s hand, leaving visible teeth marks, scratching his stomach and chest, and striking him above his left eye. Ditterline also reportedly threw a glass butter bowl, which struck the wall and shattered, leaving butter residue on the wall near the victim. Video footage provided corroborated these accounts, showing Ditterline attacking the victim and ripping his shirt in half as he attempted to retreat. Deputy Gerber requested a warrant for the arrest of Jodi Michelle Ditterline, age 39, on a charge of domestic violence. Ditterline was taken into custody later that same date and processed into the Washington County Jail.
There are currently 15 women and 97 men incarcerated in the Washington County Jail.
