HARASSING COMMUNICATION, VARIOUS LOCATIONS: Police received a call Jan. 5 from a woman working at a travel resort on the Island of Anguilla in the British West Indies, who reported that after a Chicago man had vacationed there, her hotel received “hostile and obscene emails” from a Chagrin Falls travel agent who wanted a commission, claiming to have set the whole trip up. Although they weren’t sure of the jurisdictional implications, Chagrin Falls police contacted the local travel agent and registered their concerns “as a courtesy.” He explained that he was upset at the time about the commission.
Police are checking phone records to determine if a Chagrin Falls man, 43, is being harassed by the same individual he filed a complaint against last year. At that time, he was getting a lot of hang-up calls, which stopped until recently, when he started getting calls wishing him a “Merry Christmas” before the hang up. “He thinks it’s the same guy, now that he’s getting the calls again,” police said. The latest report was filed Jan. 5.
Police responded Jan. 6 to a report of an ex-boyfriend texting his ex-girlfriend that her new boyfriend “would regret the day he was ever born” if he messed with him, his daughter, or the ex-girlfriend’s daughter, who had somehow managed to remain friends since the break-up. The ex-boyfriend had been waiting outside an East Carriage Street residence to pick up the girls prior to police being called. The ex-girlfriend did not think the threats were credible, but the new boyfriend wanted a report on file.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT, HIGH STREET: As police responded to a report of an intoxicated female attempting to gain entry into a home at 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 8, they learned she had just broken out a window to get inside. The suspect, 37, who moved into the home of her boyfriend a week earlier, was in the bathroom when officers arrived. She had a small cut on her index finer and told police “she did not mean to break the window, that she was just knocking.” The boyfriend, who was home at the time, declined to press charges.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SOUTH FRANKLIN STREET: After police located a missing South Russell woman, 23, about 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 4, they charged her with domestic violence when police noticed the man who reported her missing had a scratched and bloody face. He declined to press charges, but police saw the injuries and filed the complaint. The woman had gotten out of the man’s car after being picked up from an accident scene in Bainbridge.
HIT-SKIP, WALNUT STREET: A firefighter reported that his pickup truck, parked from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Jan. 3 — was hit, possibly by a vehicle with a snow plow.
CONTEMPT OF COURT, MAY COURT: A judge is reviewing a case pending against a Bainbridge man, 53, who, as a condition of his bond, had been ordered to stay out of Chagrin Falls and Bainbridge (he is currently living elsewhere in a hotel). But when Chagrin Falls police saw him shoveling snow there at 9:49 a.m. on Jan. 4, he told them the bond conditions only applied to “Chagrin Falls Park.” The judge on the case told police not to charge him yet, pending further review.
DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION, WEST WASHINGTON STREET: A woman called police shortly before 9 a.m. on Jan. 4 to report that her son, no age listed, had left his saxophone in a black case near a bench by The Popcorn Shop. She asked to be notified if anyone turned it in.
