City police officer, firefighter receive honors
Dayton police detective Doug Roderick was named Law Enforcement Office of the Year and Dayton fire paramedic David Gerstner Firefighter/EMS of the Year by the Montgomery County Association of Police Chiefs.
The awards were presented to both officers at a recent banquet, according to the organization’s press release.
The organization’s release said Roderick, a computer and cellphone forensic examiner, was chosen because he “Recently helped to solve a case where a local coach engaged in illegal sexual conduct with underage girls. He also helped to identify a traveling sexual predator suspect who had taken two juvenile females out of the local area, as well as identify four other sexual predators located around the country.”
Gerstner “was recognized for his role in getting the information about the H1N1 virus and vaccines distributed quickly and efficiently in Montgomery County,” the release said.
TweetSheriff’s deputy involved in multi-vehicle accident
HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County - A Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy looking for burglary suspects was hit by another car while inside his cruiser at Shoup Mill Road and North Main Street just around 9 a.m. today, Jan. 28.
There were no serious injuries in the accident, said sheriff’s Maj. Scott Landis, who added the incident is being investigated as “a failure to yield.” It was not clear who was at fault in the accident, Landis said.
Three vehicles were involved in the accident. The sheriff deputy was traveling north on Sue Ann Boulevard with his lights on when two other vehicles, both traveling east on Shoup Mill, struck his vehicle, said Chris Colbert of the Ohio State Patrol.
“At this point, we are still sorting out the details,” Colbert said.
No one was removed to a local hospital and a portion of intersection was shut down because of the crash, Landis said.
TweetWoman arrested by undercover cop for selling sex on Internet
DAYTON - A 32-year-old woman who police said posted a sex-for-hire advertisement on a Web site was arrested Wednesday, Jan. 27, after soliciting an undercover police officer.
Tamara Northern posted an advertisement on www.backpage.com titled “Your one stop feel good shop” and when the undercover opened it up found the woman described various sexual acts she would perform for money, according to a police report.
The undercover detective called Northern and setup a meeting at her apartment later that evening, the report stated.
Officers arrived at her apartment at 2327 Nill Ave. near Belmont High School about 7 p.m. and watched as her fiance Cassey Morris left the apartment, the report stated.
The undercover detective then walked up to her apartment and on the way in noticed she had a video camera in a birdhouse outside that was hooked to a television inside her apartment, the report stated.
Once inside Northern stripped down to a purple negligee and instructed the detective to take off his clothes, the report stated. The detective gave Northern $175 and then gave nearby officers a “predetermined take-down signal,” the report stated.
Northern told officer she recently lost her job and trying to make money, the report stated. Officers also arrested Morris but later released him on a citation for driving without a license, the report stated.
Northern was arrested on misdemeanor charges of soliciting prostitution and having criminal tools, the report stated.
