WILMINGTON — The following information comes from incident reports provided by the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office. All those arrested are presumed innocent until possibly found guilty in court.

The sheriff’s office recently processed these reports:

• At 5:06 a.m. on April 24, deputies responded to the 5900 block of Cuba Road in Cuba, Washington Township, in reference to a burglary in progress. Upon arrival, the homeowner told deputies the suspect was cornered in the back yard. Deputies found the suspect — a 38-year-old Morrow male — was found wrapped in a blanket and had two knives on his belt. The suspect was ordered to drop the blanket and put his hands on his head; he complied and told deputies about the knives. The knives were removed, no other weapons were found, and the suspect was placed in custody in the back of a deputy’s vehicle. The homeowner told authorities he was lying in bed when he heard a slight banging outside. He first thought his wife outside with their dog and got locked out, but later realized his wife and dog were inside. The resident saw the suspect run out of the sunroom attached to the resident. He released his dog and corned the suspect. The resident grabbed a baseball bat and talked to the suspect before deputies arrived. Deputies advised the suspect of his Miranda Rights and upon further inspection of him, found a clear bag with an unknown substance in it. The suspect told authorities he was at a friend’s house in Cuba when he and his wife “had gotten into an argument and he took off walking.” The report later says, “he was unsure where he was and advised that he did some meth earlier in the evening. He was aware of the incident and advised he was just trying to get warm and out of the cold.” The resident requested burglary charges not be file against the suspect. The suspect was taken to a friend’s house on State Route 350.
