DAYTON - Task force agents with the Community Initiative to Reduce Gun Violence said they foiled a drug deal for Vicodin pills Thursday, Nov. 19, and made a more surprising discovery while searching the alleged seller&amp;#8217;s SUV.

Lacory Adams, 28

The Dayton Police officers were patrolling the area of 2000 Needmore Road about 7 p.m. when they noticed Lacory Adams&amp;#8217; SUV parked near a sedan belonging to another man, according to a police report.

Adams was bent over, leaning on the other man&amp;#8217;s car window, when officers pulled up to ask the men questions, the report stated.

Adams said he was selling the man 20 Vicodin pills for $50 and was selling drugs to help his daughter&amp;#8217;s Girl Scouts troop, the report stated.

He gave officers consent to search his SUV, where they found a loaded 9-millimeter handgun with seven rounds, including one in the chamber, the report stated.

Adams, 28, said he and his girlfriend bought the gun at a recent &amp;#8220;gun and knife show&amp;#8221; for protection, the report stated.

The other man, 31, told the officers he needed the pills because he has back problems, the report stated. Both of the suspects&amp;#8217; cars were towed, and the men were taken to Montgomery County Jail.

Adams faces felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and drug trafficking. The second man was later released from jail without charges being filed.

DAYTON - A Miami Valley Hospital security officer helped arrest a man who was seen walking near the hospital with a black purse belonging to an expectant mother at the hospital.

Richano V. Fisher, 34

The officer noticed Richano V. Fisher, 34, carrying the bag about 2:45 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, and approached the man, asking what he was doing with the purse, according to a police report.

Fisher, who lives at 500 Bowie Drive, said he was getting the purse for his &amp;#8220;baby&amp;#8217;s momma&amp;#8221; and was walking back to the hospital to give it to her, the report stated. The security officer asked Fisher to look inside the purse and noticed the identification inside belonged to a different woman, the report stated.

The officer determined the purse belonged a patient at the hospital and called Dayton Police officers to assist him with detaining Fisher, the report stated.

Inside the hospital, Dayton officers found the owner of the purse, who said it went missing about 11 p.m. after she and her husband fell asleep in her room, the report stated.

The woman&amp;#8217;s husband, who declined to be named, said his wife was in the maternity ward at the hospital and Fisher came in while they were sleeping. He said they didn&amp;#8217;t notice anyone come in the room and were shocked when hospital security notified them of the theft.

Hospital spokeswoman Nancy Thickel said she was checking into the incident about 1:30 p.m. and would release any details she could later this afternoon.

Outside Fisher became combative with officers, who transported him to Montgomery County Jail. Fisher is expected to appear in court Friday, Nov. 20, on a felony charge of receiving stolen property, according to jail records.

Court and jail records show Fisher is a habitual offender with numerous arrests for domestic violence, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and aggravated robbery.

DAYTON - Leads in the ambush-shooting death of Cornelius Maxwell Jr. have steered homicide detectives back to his brother&amp;#8217;s 1997 slaying.

Lead homicide detective Sgt. Gary White said today, Nov. 18, &amp;#8220;We are looking into the possibility of Cornelius&amp;#8217; murder being related to his brother&amp;#8217;s murder in 1997. There is nothing solid at this time.&amp;#8221;

White declined to say how the two killings might be related.

Cornelius Maxwell, 40, was shot more than a dozen times by a gunman who approached on foot while firing an AK-47 at his car Nov. 9, police said. Maxwell was on his way to work about 6 a.m. when the incident occurred in the 4700 block of Blueberry Avenue.

His death was the third homicide in four days. John R. Morgan, 36, was stabbed to death and Chad DeWitt, 23, shot during an alleged robbery attempt in unrelated incidents on Nov. 6.

In Cornelius Maxwell&amp;#8217;s killing, White said the gunman might have known his routine and was waiting. Maxwell, who served time in the U.S. Army in the early 1990s, lived with his parents, police said.

His brother, Eric Maxwell, was shot in similar fashion in 1997, though no one was ever arrested. His homicide investigation remains open, White said.

Morgan&amp;#8217;s killer also remains at large. Police said the man who killed DeWitt was acting in self defense.

DAYTON - A 30-year-old man is facing a misdemeanor public indecency charge after officers found him passed out on the front steps and partially nude Tuesday, Nov. 17.

Matthew D. Emrick,30

Residents at 30 S. Terry St. said they were trying to help Matthew D. Emrick about 5 p.m. because he was acting strange, but they called police when he became uncooperative, according to a police report.

By the time officers arrived, Emrick was passed out on the front steps and had urinated, the report stated.

Emrick woke up and became combative, swearing at officers and reeking of alcohol, the report stated. He was arrested and transported to the Montgomery County Jail.

DAYTON - City officials are in discussions with the Norfolk Southern Railway Corp. to tear down an abandoned train trestle bridge now used as a tent-housing complex by the area&amp;#8217;s homeless.

Engineers from the city and the railway company examined the bridge that runs over South Patterson Boulevard, just south of Apple Street within the last two weeks, city spokesman Tom Biedenharn confirmed Monday, Nov. 16.

Biedenharn said no decision has been made yet about the bridge coming down.

A call to Norfolk Southern seeking comment Monday afternoon has not yet been returned. The company owns the bridge and must give the go-ahead to have it torn down, city officials said. 

The bridge for years has been a home to homeless people who refuse to stay in area shelters, police said. Numerous tents have popped up on the bridge, though police on more than one occasion have tried to chase the vagabonds off.

Norfolk Southern officials were reportedly taken aback by the conditions on the bridge and are open to having it torn down, city officials said.

The bridge was also home to James Cundiff, 42, a homeless Tier III sex offender recently indicted for numerous attacks on women.

Police have said many living in the tents on the bridge refuse to stay in area shelters because of the rules they must follow.

DAYTON - A Dayton family is giving special thanks to a taxi driver who found a 3-year-old toddler that slipped out the back door and was wandering the streets Saturday, Nov. 14.

The child slipped out his house on Tip Top Avenue about 7 a.m. and was standing on the corner of Wayne and Holly avenues when taxi driver Paul Duncan noticed him, according to a police report.

Duncan put the boy in his cab and called the police. The boy was wearing a T-shirt, cotton pants and socks and couldn&amp;#8217;t tell officers where he lived, the report stated.

Officer started going door to door asking if anyone was missing a boy, but no one claimed him, the report stated.

About 7:50 a.m. Sally Fryman called police and said her son was missing. Officers also made contact with the boy&amp;#8217;s father Bobby Bennett, who was &amp;#8220;frantically&amp;#8221; combing the neighborhood for his son, the report stated.

Bennett said the boy knows how to unlock the back door and when he couldn&amp;#8217;t find his son he noticed the back door was ajar, the report stated. The boy appeared to be missing for about 20 minutes before the cab driver noticed him.

Bennett said he was going to install new locks that day, the report stated. No one was charged with a crime and the boy was fortunately OK.

DAYTON - Police are trying to sort out who was behind the wheel of a blue Chevy Caprice that struck a Dayton City Schools bus full of children and fled the scene.

Officers responded to the intersection of Kings Highway and DeWitt Avenue about 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, on the report of a bus struck by a car that ran a stop sign and then fled the scene, according to a police report.

Bus driver Lee Wilson told officers he was talking to the man driving the blue Caprice, when the driver said he was going to turn the car around, the report stated.

Students on the bus watched as the driver got in the car and took off. Officers found the vehicle nearby at 1808 DeWitt Ave. with a man standing beside it, the report stated.

The students said the man, Michael Thornton who is the owner of the car, was not the driver when it struck the bus. Despite witness statements Thornton insisted that he was the driver, the report stated.

Marquasha Stewart claimed to be the front-seat passenger in the the car at the time of the accident and said Thornton was the driver, the report stated.

After pressing Thornton for more details, the man admitted to police he was not the driver. Stewart insisted he was, but based on Wilson&amp;#8217;s statement and the students on the bus, officers determined Thornton was not the driver.

Neither Stewart nor Thornton have been charged in the accident, the report stated. Police are still investigating the accident. 

The students on the bus were treated for minor injuries, the report stated.

No additional suspects were listed in the police report.

DAYTON - Police are looking for a teenager who robbed a Mike-Sells Potato Chips delivery driver at the Express Foods convenience store Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The driver 51-year-old James Montgomery, said he was unloading chips about 5 p.m. at 2050 N. Gettysburg Ave. when a teenager in a black hooded sweatshirt approached and pulled a gun, according to a police report.

The gunman demanded money, grabbed Montgomery&amp;#8217;s jacket and took $89 in cash from a pocket, the report stated. Montgomery described the suspect as a 15-year-old black male, about 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, the report stated. 

He said the gunman took off running toward the Cornell Ridge Apartments. Montgomery immediately called police and told officers at the scene there was surveillance video of the robbery, the report stated.

A K-9 unit was called to the scene and led officers down a dirt trail near the apartment complex, the report stated. But the dog lost the suspect&amp;#8217;s scent near one of the apartment buildings.

Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call 333-COPS.

A 23-year-old self-proclaimed graffiti artist wanted for tagging buildings and billboards in Dayton was arrested last week in Indianapolis for related crimes.

Miguel Villanueva, of Richmond, goes by &amp;#8220;CHOKE&amp;#8221; and has tagged buildings across the country with that moniker, including Las Vegas, Dayton and Cincinnati, police said.

Police in Indianapolis arrested Villanueva after he tagged dozens of city buildings and caused about $100,000 in damage, the Indianapolis Star reported Saturday. The newspaper said Villanueva was arrested by detectives at a tattoo parlor near Indianapolis.

Dayton police Lt. Larry Faulkner said Tuesday, Nov. 10, Villanueva is suspected of tagging downtown buildings in Dayton, as well as billboards along highways.

He was booked in Marion County Jail on $500 bond and has a court date scheduled for today, according to jail and court records.

The Indy Star reported police said Villanueva is part of a national &amp;#8220;tagging&amp;#8221; gang that tries to display its &amp;#8220;art&amp;#8221; on train cars and buildings.

DAYTON - A 28-year-old Dayton Children&amp;#8217;s Medical Center pharmacy technician was arrested Monday, Nov. 9, on a felony theft charge after she confessed to stealing Vicodin pills.

Jamie M. Norris, 28.

Jamie M. Norris said she took the pills to deal with the recent death of her father, but later said she was selling them to buy formula for her children, according to a police report.

Officials at the medical center said they launched an investigation after noticing a discrepancy in the amount of pills in their distribution center and questioned Norris about it, the report stated.

As a pharmacy technician Norris assisted pharmacists with the &amp;#8220;preparation of medication for dispensing,&amp;#8221; medical center spokeswoman Vicki Giambrone said. 

Norris said she has been taking a small amount of Vicodin for about four to six weeks, the report stated. She changed her story again and said she was taking the pills for personal use, the report stated. 

Officers arrived about 6:45 p.m. and found 13 Vicodin pills in her purse, the report stated. Norris said she had already taken two of the pills while at work. 

She was then taken to the Montgomery County Jail on the theft charge. Norris has since been fired from her job at the medical center, Giambrone said.

DAYTON - A 46-year-old who tried to stab and set a woman on fire Saturday, Nov. 7, has been arrested on felony assault and burglary charges.

George E. Combs Jr., 46

Officers were called 4447 Foxton Court about 10:20 p.m. by witnesses who said &amp;#8220;male and female fighting about a crack pipe,&amp;#8221; according to a police report.

Mary Akers, 47, told police George E. Combs Jr. had a gas can and was trying to set a truck on fire while she was inside the vehicle, the report stated. Officers noticed Akers had a cut on her head and bruising under her left eye, the report stated.

Akers said she and Combs&amp;#8217; girlfriend, Andrea Fradl, were inside her apartment when he broke into her place, the report stated. 

Fradl said the incident started when Combs came in the home &amp;#8220;intoxicated&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;belligerent,&amp;#8221; while demanding $10, the report stated.

Combs hit Fradl in the face after she told him &amp;#8220;no,&amp;#8221; the report stated. Combs then went outside and flattened tires on Fradl&amp;#8217;s truck, the report stated. He returned with a lighter and gas can and tried to pour gas on Fradl, Akers told the officers.

Fradl said she then fled to her truck and locked the doors, the report stated. Combs, armed with a knife and gas can, followed and opened a window in the back of truck, she told police. Combs swung the knife wildly inside the truck, cutting Fradl and threatening &amp;#8220;to kill&amp;#8221; her, the report stated.

Combs ran from the scene right before police arrived, but was found by officers nearby sitting down near an access road, the report stated. He was arrested on felony burglary and assault charges and also faces two misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging charges, the report stated.

He is in the Montgomery County Jail.
