• At 8:13 p.m. on Jan. 9, police responded to assist in a traffic stop on Creekside Drive. An officer advised she had called for a squad in reference to the female passenger acting erratic and having stomach pain. “The female was extremely dramatic about the pain and was yelling out loud about how much she hurt,” the report states. Police spoke with the driver, a 74-year-old Sabina male, who seemed to “not know anything about anyone.” He stated he was over at someone’s residence and they asked him to transport this female to the hospital. He also advised they wanted him to transport some of her belongings to a friend’s house as well. The squad responded and transported the female to CMH. Police spoke with the male again and asked him for consent to search the vehicle. The subject advised that was fine but he didn’t want units tearing the vehicle apart. After a few moments of units searching the car, they located the ID for the female passenger who was unable to give her name due to “stomach pain”. After running the ID through dispatch it was found that the female, age 54 of Wilmington, had active warrants for her arrest. A short time later the squad members advised the female had fled on foot once she arrived at the hospital. Other units left the traffic stop to respond to CMH to locate the female. The suspect was later located and it was discovered she had a nationwide warrant. The arrest record indicates it was for an aggravated drug possession offense.

The subject stated that he was lying down because he was exhausted. He advised that he had been awake for a week and was tired. “He advised that he left Fayette County because it wouldn’t snow,” the report states. “He also stated that he was checking the ground as he slapped the dirt to see if the pipes were freezing or not because he cares about the land.” At one point he wanted to go to jail but police said he hadn’t committed any wrongdoing so they wouldn’t be doing that.
