Sir Robert Peel is credited with establishing the first modern police force back in the 1820&amp;#8217;s in Great Britain. Some 190 years later, Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl loves to quote the former British Home Secretary when talking about &amp;#8220;modern&amp;#8221; community policing.

&amp;#8220;The police are the public and the public are the police,&amp;#8221; Peel said. &amp;#8220;The police being only members of the public who are paid to give full time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.&amp;#8221;

Thursday offered a perfect example.

Police were called to the 900 block of North Gettysburg on a report of an aggravated robbery. When officers arrived, they determined it was another in a long string of &amp;#8220;jacboy&amp;#8221; robberies. Jacboys are groups of young teens, often armed, who target lone pedestrians.

In this case the victim was a 16-year-old robbed of his cell phone at gunpoint, according to the police report. The victim told police he was approached by four young men, one of whom he knew from grade school. His former friend asked to use the victim&amp;#8217;s cell phone, and the victim agreed. The former friend began to walk away with cell phone in hand.

The victim asked for his phone. The former friend then said, &amp;#8220;Put a gun on him,&amp;#8221; according to the police report. That prompted one of the four &amp;#8220;jacboys&amp;#8221; to produce a small handgun and wave it around. The four then fled.

The story did not end there.

Three hours later, the two officers were called to Kammer Avenue. A mother wanted the officers to take in her son, the former friend, for the robbery. When police arrived, the mother said she had been contacted by the her son&amp;#8217;s aunt. The aunt told her the victim had activated the GPS on his stolen phone and traced it to the aunt&amp;#8217;s house.

The victim and his grandmother then came to the aunt&amp;#8217;s house and confronted the former friend and a group of young men on the aunt&amp;#8217;s porch. The former friend told the victim that the phone had already been given away. The victim and his grandmother left.

Hearing all this, the former friend&amp;#8217;s mother called police, who took her son, the former friend, into custody. The former friend is being questioned by robbery detectives.

<title>Suspected dealer gives a very suspect story</title>

The suspect told police he was working a con on a &amp;#8220;geeker&amp;#8221;. He also said he was hoping to work his way up the drug ladder of success &amp;#8212; jumping from selling marijuana to selling heroin.

The only problem he had was no heroin. He forgot to mention the nearly 2 grams of suspected heroin he tried to dump when confronted by two security guards.

Dayton police were call called to the Summit Square apartments around 7 p.m. Wednesday. The Ranger Security officers had the suspected dealer in handcuffs, while keeping watch on the alleged buyer.

The security officers told police they had spotted the white male in a car parked in the apartment&amp;#8217;s lot. When they stopped to question him, they discovered a hypodermic needle. The man told the security officers he had used his cell phone to contact the suspected dealer and was waiting for the dealer to deliver. The security officers had the man remain in his car while they kept watch for the dealer.

When the suspected dealer came out the apartments and walked to the car, so did the security officers. The suspected dealer attempt to flee but stopped when one of the security officers drew his weapon and ordered the man to halt. The security officers recovered a baggie of what appeared to be heroin the suspected dealer dropped.

When questioned by police, the suspected dealer told them he had been sitting in his girlfriend&amp;#8217;s car, eating Chinese and waiting on her as she was having her hair done. He was unable to tell police what apartment his girlfriend was visiting. The suspect told police he spotted the white male and walked up to his car, offering his phone number to the driver should he ever want any drugs.

The suspect told police he never intended to sell the drugs; rather he was planning to take the &amp;#8220;geeker&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8221; money and run. A geeker is street slang for a white person, generally from the suburbs, who comes to Dayton to buy drugs. The driver was from Lebanon.

Without prompting, according to the police report, the suspect told police he&amp;#8217;d been arrested two days prior for trafficking marijuana. He admitted he sold weed, but never hard drugs.

A further search of the suspect turned up a baggie of empty gel caps, the standard method for street dealers to sell heroin. Asked about the caps, the suspect said he was planning to become a heroin dealer.

He was taken to the Montgomery County Jail, awaiting his initial court appearance. The suspect previously had been released from jail a day earlier after no formal charges were filed in his trafficking arrest.

According to one man, his dream of fighting off terrorists ended when he shot himself in the leg.

Dayton police were called Tuesday to a home on Larchwood Drive minutes just after 5 a.m. They found the victim being treated by medics for a superficial leg wound.The 32-year-old man told officers he was asleep, dreaming he was fighting with terrorists when he shot himself, according to the police report.

He told police he sleeps with a .38-caliber Ruger revolver under his pillow.

Officers examined his bed and clothing, concluding that the man&amp;#8217;s story was likely correct.

The man added he had two other firearms in a living room ottoman.

The man was taken to Miami Valley Hospital by his girlfriend, declining the services and cost of an ambulance. 

No charges were filed in the accidental shooting.

Dayton police said there is a chance a man with a gunshot wound is somewhere in the area.

Police confirmed Monday they had notified area hospitals to be on the lookout for anyone with such a wound.

The Regional Dispatch Center received a call early Sunday morning from a woman saying her husband was fighting in their backyard with someone who had broken into their garage. She told the dispatcher that her husband was holding a man at gunpoint. She later told police she heard a gun shot while on the phone to 911.

When police arrive in the 700 block of Superior Avenue, they found a blood smear on the backyard fence and a large pool of blood near the garage.

The husband said he confronted the man as he was rolling tires out of the garage. The husband said he was able to kick the unidentified man in the face. The man then jumped over the fence and fled. The husband claimed he was not armed, but if he had been he would have shot the intruder. Upon hearing this, his wife told her husband to go ahead and tell the truth. The husband maintained he was not armed.

Police found a 9mm semiautomatic pistol inside the house with one round fired. The husband said he&amp;#8217;d fired the weapon New Year&amp;#8217;s Eve.

Police were able to find a bullet fragment in the pool of blood.

As of 1 p.m. Monday, there were no reports of a gunshot victim.

Three Dayton police officers were injured and two cruisers and an unmarked car damaged Wednesday afternoon in a gas station parking lot when the officers attempted to stop a stolen car driven by a convicted drug dealer, four months out of prison, according to police.

Police said a plainclothes detective spotted a stolen 2011 Dodge Charger on Germantown Pike around 3:15 p.m. The detective followed the Dodge and called for backup as the car pulled into the BP station at the intersection with Gettysburg Avenue.

Frank Chatman Jr.

One cruiser pulled in front of the Dodge. The Dodge&amp;#8217;s driver, Frank Chatman Jr., 22, of Dayton, put his car in reverse, slamming into a cruiser that pulled up behind him. Seeing the Dodge was about escape, the detective drove his unmarked car into the Dodge as it slammed into the front cruiser, Maj. Pat Welsh said.

Chatman then jumped from the car and fled, only to be run to ground by the pursing officers. The detective and the officer in the rear cruiser were injured in the crashes. A second uniformed officer was injured during the foot chase, Welsh said.

The major said all three officers were treated and later released. None are cleared for duty until Monday.

Police recovered a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol with 14 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. Cocaine and heroin were recovered from Chatman.

Chatman was taken to the Montgomery County Jail. He was charged Thursday in Dayton Municipal Court with felonious assault of a peace officer, felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of heroin, felony vandalism and a felony weapons charge.

According to court records, Chatman was convicted of drug trafficking, two counts of heroin possession and a weapons charge in 2008 and sentenced to 3 years in prison. He was released from prison on Sept. 23 and was under probation supervision.

According to police records, Chatman had numerous arrests as a juvenile for drug possession, weapons charges and fleeing police. During one arrest, police discovered Chatman was wearing an electronic anklet because he was under house arrest.

One man let the stress of tax time boil over and he now faces a possible felony charge as a result. 

Police were called a tax preparation business at 3251 West Siebenthaler Ave. Monday evening on a report of a robbery. 

The manager said a customer became angry when his return was less than originally estimated. He was also informed that he was not eligible for a loan from the business. 

According to a police report the man demanded to see his completed tax forms, then took them and tried to leave. He allegedly shoved an employee several times on his way out of the store. 

He ran down the street leaving his vehicle behind. Employees told police that a woman later came and picked up the car. 

The manager said the man owes $244 for the tax services performed by the company.

Police tracked the man down at his home in Harrison Township and arrested him. He did not turn over the completed tax forms and police were unable to locate them. He was transported to the Montgomery County Jail and faces a possible felony robbery charge.

Wednesday was a bad night in Dayton for a &amp;#8220;date&amp;#8221;.

Vice officers set up an Internet sting, arresting three men who sought the services of an undercover officer posing as an escort at a local hotel.

The men offered the &amp;#8220;escort&amp;#8221; anywhere from $40 to $200, depending on the services they desired.

The vice officers took out an ad advertising the &amp;#8220;escort&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8221; services on BackPages.com and waited for the calls. One at a time, the &amp;#8220;escort&amp;#8221; bargained with the callers, agreeing to meet them at a local hotel.

Once at the hotel, the caller was directed to the hotel bar, met the &amp;#8220;escort&amp;#8221;, chatted her up and walked her to her room where the caller was greeted by vice detectives rather than the agreed upon services.

Two of the callers tried to tell detectives they were just there to get a massage. One admitted his wife likely would not approve of his getting such a massage. The third admitted he made &amp;#8220;a bad decision.&amp;#8221;

All three were hauled off to the Montgomery County Jail and later released. All three face possible misdemeanor soliciting charges when they make their initial court appearances. The cash the three were carrying was confiscated.

Which did not make for a good date night.

When police opened the door to an apartment in the 3100 block of Wexford, they found a 2-year-old asleep in front of a TV and 4-month old awake in a bassinet, his diaper filled. The baby also had a major diaper rash fore and aft.

What officers did not find last Friday was a parent or a guardian or any adult supervising the toddlers.

It was not the first time the toddlers had been left alone to fend for themselves.

According to the officers&amp;#8217; report, a neighbor had called after hearing a child wailing in the apartment for nearly one-half hour. The officers reported the apartment was filthy. The only food found in the refrigerator was for adults. A bottle of prescription antidepressants was on a coffee table within reach of the 2-year-old. A knife was found on the floor, the report said.

Child Protective Services was called. The caseworker told police Protective Services had just closed a case on the mother and children. The officers searched police records and found the mother had left her children alone under similar circumstances in 2010.

Protective Services removed the children.

The mother never returned to the apartment. Tuesday, however, police got a tip that she was staying at an apartment in the 2300 block of Germantown Pike. She was quickly arrested. During the arrest, officers found a crack pipe. The mother remains in the Montgomery County Jail facing possible child endangering charges when she makes her initial court appearance.

I don&amp;#8217;t suppose it happens often &amp;#8212; a robber threatens a cashier not with a gun or a knife or a baseball bat.

Rather the fellow who entered a Family Dollar Store in Dayton on Tuesday threatened the cashier with a bullet &amp;#8212; a single .38 caliber round he pulled from his pocket.

Verlin Q. Alsept

The 59-year-old man asked the cashier for all the money in the cash register. Unfazed by the threatening bullet, she declined, and he left the store empty-handed. A nearby private security guard at the Westown Shopping Center &amp;#8212; alerted by the cashier &amp;#8212; quickly ran the man to ground as bystanders called police.

The cashier told officers the man approached her register softly mumbling. She asked him several times if she could help. The man finally spoke loud of enough for her to hear that he wanted money and &amp;#8220;this was a robbery,&amp;#8221; according to the police report.

It was then the man pulled the bullet out of his jacket pocket. The cashier said she then told him she could not open the register without her manager. The man walked out the door.

Officers noted the strong odor of alcohol coming from the man.

Verlin Alsept was taken to the Montgomery County Jail. Prosecutors approved a felony robbery charge on Wednesday.

Dayton police were called to an elementary school Monday by the school&amp;#8217;s principal. She reported that the grandmother of one her students had called fearing her granddaughter was being exposed to drugs at home.

Police checked in with the grandmother who explained her granddaughter told her she had seen her mother &amp;#8212; the grandmother&amp;#8217;s daughter &amp;#8212; &amp;#8220;putting medicine in her arm with a needle.&amp;#8221; The grandmother agreed to meet police at the house where her daughter and grandchildren lived.

In their report, the officers described the appalling living conditions they found when they entered the daughter&amp;#8217;s home. Along with the filth and clutter, police found several crack pipes lying around. No one was at home at the time. The grandmother had been caring for her daughter&amp;#8217;s two children at her own home since Saturday.

Police contacted Child Protective Services, and a caseworker was dispatched. After showing the caseworker the house, the officers said they were removing the children. The caseworker agreed that the children should be officially placed in the care of the grandmother.

The daughter and the father of the children were notified of the removal.

Later Monday, the same two officers responded to a drug complaint less than one-half mile away from the daughter&amp;#8217;s house.

There they found the daughter and the father of the children in the basement of a house on Linden Avenue with another man. Also found in the basement was a quantity of heroin. The other man said the daughter and the father of the children had nothing to do with the heroin, and the couple was released after questioning.

The daughter and the father of the children were not charged in either incident.

Bullets started flying Wednesday evening in West Dayton when around 12 rounds were fired in two separate incidents an hour apart.

No one was hit, but not for a lack of trying.

It began 5:15 when shots were fired into a car in a supermarket parking lot in the 1600 block of North Gettysburg. A Chevy Impala had two dings and a flat tire, while a nearby Cavalier was hit once. A 27-year-old male passenger and a 3-year-old boy in the Impala were unharmed. The Cavalier was not occupied. The Impala&amp;#8217;s driver was in the supermarket at the time of the shooting

Witnesses said a car drove passed on Gettysburg, and the front passenger opened fire on the Impala. The car turned around and made a second pass, this time the passenger was hanging out the window, shooting over the roof of the car at the Impala.

The driver and passenger of the Impala said it must be a case of mistaken identity, because they could not think of anyone who &amp;#8220;was coming after them,&amp;#8221; they told police.

Just after 6 p.m., officers descended on the 800 block of Harvard Boulevard where a landlord reported he was robbed of $6 and fired upon by his assailant as he called police.

The landlord said he had just finished up some work at one of his properties when he was accosted by the robber as he approached his pickup. The landlord said the robber requested his money at gunpoint. The landlord handed over the six bucks, and the robbery walked away. Once in his truck, the landlord called police.

The robber saw him talking on the cell phone and opened fire as the landlord drove away, hitting the truck with three rounds, one of which went through the cab&amp;#8217;s back window. A fourth round traveled down Harvard, across Richmond and through a window, shattering a flat-screen television. The bullet whizzed over the head of the homeowner&amp;#8217;s daughter, who was sitting on the couch in front of the window.

A masked man walks into an East Dayton drive-thru and asks for money and three cartons of Marlboro cigarrettes.

The clerk at first thinks it&amp;#8217;s a joke. Then the man pulls up his shirt to display a large knife in his belt. The clerk empties the cash register of around $150. Having but two cartons of Marlboros, the clerk hands both over, and the masked robber is satisfied.

As he&amp;#8217;s leaving, the masked robber tells the clerk &amp;#8220;he usually doesn&amp;#8217;t do this, and if he got away with it, he&amp;#8217;d return the money,&amp;#8221; according to the police report.

The suspect in the Tuesday night robbery of the Kwik &amp;#8216;N&amp;#8217; Kold in the 1400 block of Linden Avenue is described as a 6-foot-1, skinny white male, wearing a long-sleeved white T-shirt, blue jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt. The clerk described the mask as being homemade with the eye and mouth holes roughly cut out.

The robber was spotted by a WHIO-TV videographer as he fled the scene on foot. A police search did not locate the suspect. Police are awaiting a copy of security video of the robbery.

A man police say shot another man in an apartment complex parking lot Friday night was arrested Wednesday by members of the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST). 

Demeacco Jordan, 26, faces possible charges of felonious assault and possessing weapons under disability for a previous drug conviction.  

Demeacco Jordan

The Montgomery County Sheriff&amp;#8217;s office was searching for Jordan in connection with a shooting in the parking lot of the Country Brook apartments Friday night.

Around 9:30 p.m., Montgomery County Sheriff&amp;#8217;s deputies responded to a call of shots fired at the complex, 2870 Stop 8 Road, and found a 35 year old man with a gunshot wound to the hip. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A citizen tip led SOFAST agents to Jordan Wednesday at the Red Roof Inn, 2580 Colonel Glenn Hwy. in Fairborn. He was taken into custody without incident and remains in the Montgomery County Jail.

Jordan was arrested  last year in connection with the shooting of 31-year-old Letricia Allen. Allen was shot in the face Feb. 7, 2010. She survived and Jordan was convicted of having weapons while under disability for two prior drug convictions. He was sentenced to one year in prison in July of 2010. 

Jordan&amp;#8217;s bail has not been set. He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, Dec. 15.

A Dayton man was arrested after a brief foot chase on North Main Street Monday evening. 

According to a police report, Steven Lamar Arnold, 28, was the front seat passenger in a Pontiac Bonneville that was pulled over on East Hudson for a traffic violation at about 8:30 p.m.

Steven Lamar Arnold

When the female who was driving came to a stop Arnold jumped out of the car, police said, and began running west on Hudson, back across North Main. At one point he threw a metallic object on the ground. A police officer found Arnold hiding next to the front steps of a house in the 2000 block of North Main. 

He was taken into custody and a search revealed that he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest. One for possession of cocaine and one for a parole violation. 

Officers found the object that he allegedly threw down, which turned out to be a magazine for a handgun. A .40-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun was found under the front passenger seat of the car where Arnold had been seated. According to the police report, the officer making the traffic stop had seen him reach down towards the floor several times before he fled the car.

The gun was loaded with one bullet in the chamber. The way it was positioned under the seat, it was pointed directly at a five year old child seated in the back seat.

The female driver of the car was cited for a traffic violation and released with the child. 

Arnold was booked into the Montgomery County Jail. He is charged with improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle and having a weapon with a prior drug conviction. He has multiple prior convictions for cocaine possession. He is also facing charges for his parole violation and outstanding drug warrant. 

His bond has been set at more than $10,000.
