DAYTON - The Dayton Special Weapons and Tactics team has surrounded a house near Smithville Road and Bellaire Avenue where they believe a suspect wanted for domestic violence is holed up.

Police Chief Richard Biehl said the incident, which began about 8:30 Thursday night, July 2, is related to temporary protection order from a domestic violence situation involving a boyfriend and girlfriend.

The man they are seeking, a 31-year-old Hispanic, is believed to have assaulted the woman on Wednesday and threatened her life, Biehl said. The man also is believed to be armed with a Tech 9 semiautomatic weapon, Biehl said.

Smithville Road continues to be blocked off to traffic at Bellaire Avenue in both directions, and nearby residences have been evacuated.

As of 10 p.m., it is unclear if the man police are looking for is in the house.

DAYTON - Police padlocked the entrance to the Dayton Motor Motel Thursday, July 2, after the motel&amp;#8217;s owner did not show up in court earlier this week to discuss a nuisance abatement filed against the business.

The motel, located at 1639 N. Keowee St., has been the site of numerous drug and prostitution arrests this year and years prior, Lt. Brian Johns said. 

The motel&amp;#8217;s owner, identified by the Montgomery County Auditor as Kailash G. Patel, also allowed homeless families to stay at the motel for a reduced rate, according to police.

Most recently the motel was the scene of a SWAT standoff with an alleged robbery suspect from Columbus, which ended with the surrender and arrest of Wayne A. Sparks. 

Johns said the motel will be shut down for at least one year. A message with Patel was not immediately returned.

KETTERING &amp;#8212; Police arrested a Kettering man on Wednesday, July 1, after a woman said he exposed himself to her while both were at the Kettering Municipal Court for hearings.

Justin W. Farthing was in court to face a charge of public indecency following a June 5 arrest. On that date, police found him running nude in a neighborhood at Marshall Road and Lincoln Park Boulevard about 3 a.m., Kettering Officer Michael Burke said.

Justin Farthing

Soon after changing his plea from not guilty to guilty on the offense, Farthing exposed himself to the woman sitting next to him. She alerted court officials, who called police, Burke said.

Police arrested Farthing on another misdemeanor public indecency charge and took him to the city jail before he was transfered to the Montgomery County Jail, Burke said.

Members of the U.S. Marshals Service-led group that searches out wanted persons has arrested a man accused of kidnapping his 11-year-old daughter and later served an  arrest warrant that led to the discovery of guns, drugs and a surveillance system at a house in west Dayton.

The Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team, known by the acronym SOFAST, arrested Victor Jones, 41, at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 1. He was wanted for kidnapping his daughter shortly before a custody hearing, said William Taylor, supervisory deputy of the Marshals for the Southern District of Ohio.

Authorities in South Bend, Ind., and Niles, Mich., helped SOFAST track Jones to the Fairborn home of a relative, where he was arrested, Taylor said. 

Victor Jones

Authorities kicked in the home&amp;#8217;s door after Jones, who was looking out a front window, would not open it, Taylor said. Jones struggled with authorities, who used a Taser on him. The girl was also combative with SOFAST members, Taylor said.

She was turned over to Greene County Children Services, Taylor said. Jones was also wanted for soliciting a child for sex in Indiana and failing to register as a sex offender in Michigan, he said.

Later in the morning, SOFAST members served an arrest warrant for a probation violation at a home in the 1500 block of South Broadway Street. While there, authorities discovered large amounts of a substance believed to be heroin, guns and an elaborate surveillance system that included flat-screen televisions, Taylor said.

Dayton police secured a search warrant for the home and were continuing to search it Wednesday afternoon.

TROTWOOD &amp;#8212; Several area law enforcement agencies are communicating with Trotwood police regarding three suspects arrested after an armed robbery and a 30-minutes chase on Tuesday, June 30, because they could be suspects in other crimes, a Trotwood detective said.

Police arrested JaMarcus Drane (aka JaMarcus Brown), 18, after the car in which he was riding lost two tires and stopped in front of a house on Gettysburg Avenue. Police arrested two other juveniles, including Drane&amp;#8217;s younger brother, said Trotwood Detective Steve Derringer.

JaMarcus Drane

The three men are accused of robbing a woman outside of her home, which doubles as her business, at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday and then leading authorities from the Dayton and Trotwood police departments and Montgomery County Sheriff&amp;#8217;s Office on a half-hour chase throughout west Dayton.

Drane remains in Montgomery County Jail, and the two juveniles are also in custody pending the formal filing of charges. Police will seek to have the two juveniles tried as adults, Derringer said.

The brothers are well-known to Trotwood police and other area law enforcement agencies as suspects in multiple crimes, Derringer said.

&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re into prettty much everything.&amp;#8221; Derringer said.

The incident began when the three suspects approached a woman outside her home in the 5000 block of Wolf Creek Pike. They had apparently watched her come out of a bank and believed she had a large amount of cash on her, Derringer said.

The suspects fled and were spotted soon after by Trotwood police, who initiated a pursuit that led police on the chase that included their white Cadillac hitting a police cruiser near the corner of Layton Drive and Stanford Place, running over stop sticks that slashed their tires on East Third Street and finally coming to a stop on Gettysburg.

The two brothers were arrested near the car, and the suspect by apprehended by a police dog after a short chase and treated at Grandview Hospital for injuries acquired while resisting arrest, Derringer said.

The suspects are believed to have tossed at least one gun from the vehicle during the chase, Derringer said. 

A gun was recovered on Decker Avenue in Dayton.

DAYTON &amp;#8212; A fire that was likely caused by a discarded cigarette was contained to the bedroom of a senior living community apartment by effective sprinklers, a Dayton fire district chief said.

Firefighters were called to Pheasant Run, 2920 Old Troy Pike, at about 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, on the report of a structure fire. When they arrived, they discovered smoke coming from a third-floor window, said District Chief David Grahl.

The initial investigation showed that the fire began on a mattress and was likely started by a cigarette left in the area when the resident left. The sprinkler system activated and kept the fire from spreading to other rooms in the apartment or throughout the building, Grahl said.

There were no injuries, Grahl said. Most of the damage is water-related, he said, and discarded pieces of the mattress were tossed from the window.

&amp;#8220;A cigarette can take hours to get a fire started,&amp;#8221; Grahl said.

Investigators were called to the scene due to the size of the building, he said.

RIVERSIDE - Two &amp;#8220;elderly&amp;#8221; women have been taken to Miami Valley Hospital after they were shot Tuesday night, June 30, in a house in the 300 block of Lawver Lane, by a gun-toting man who fired into the residence as he fled, police Chief Mark Reiss said.

The women, whose names and ages were not released, are expected to recover, Reiss said from the scene of the incident that occurred about 9:30 p.m.

One of the women was hit in the shoulder, the other in the foot, when the gunman fired at the house when he was told to leave following an altercation, Reiss said. The man, believed to be in his 20s, had come to the house searching for the grandson of one of the women.

He got out of a green Jeep Grand Cherokee and argued with a man who lives in the residence, Reiss said. It was during that confrontation that someone was hit with a pipe and the gunman was told to leave. He fired as he drove away, Reiss said.

Dayton police have joined in the search for the vehicle. 

Reiss said the altercation stems from an incident that occurred during the weekend involving the grandson the gunman was looking for. Reiss would not elaborate.

DAYTON - Investigators are awaiting a complete coroner&amp;#8217;s report in the death of a 12-year-old boy killed in a hit-and-run accident more than two weeks ago before formally charging the vehicle&amp;#8217;s driver, police said Tuesday, June 30.

Antwonne McGinnis, 25

The driver, identified by Dayton police as Antwonne McGinnis, is in Montgomery County Jail on probation violations, but has yet to be charged in the death of DaQuan Sales.

Sales was riding his bike in the 300 block of Elmhurst Road the afternoon of June 13 when McGinnis crossed a double-yellow line and struck the boy, Lt. Larry Faulkner said.

McGinnis fled the scene, but later returned smelling of marijuana, Lt. Brian Johns said.

Police are awaiting toxicology results and a few other medical tests performed on Sales&amp;#8217; body, said Ken Betz, director of the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab. 

Betz said the test results should be back within the next two weeks. Faulkner said it is then that his detectives will talk with Montgomery County prosecutors to discuss formal charges.

McGinnis, 25, has apologized to the Sales family and said it was an accident. He also offered to help pay for the boy&amp;#8217;s funeral expenses. 

He is in jail on $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 9 at 3:30 p.m.

DAYTON &amp;#8212; Two people were stabbed, another was hit by a baseball bat and several more were affected by sprayed Mace in the aftermath of an argument that began over a broken mop, police said.

Officers and medical personnel were dispatched to an apartment building at 1928 N. James H. McGee Blvd. at about 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30, on the report of a stabbing. When they arrived, they found two stabbing victims, an adult female and a juvenile female, with non-life-threatening injuries, said Dayton police Lt. Robert Chabali.

Two people were stabbed and one injured with pepper spray at this apartment at 1928 James H. McGhee Blvd. on Tuesday afternoon, June 30.  All three people were taken to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries according to Dayton Police Lt. Bob Chabali. Staff photo by Ty Greenlees

The initial investigation showed that the parties began an argument about a broken mop Monday night, and it escalated Tuesday. The adult female, who lives on the second floor of the building, apparently stabbed the juvenile female, who lives on the third floor, Chabali said.

The juvenile&amp;#8217;s mother then apparently stabbed the adult female, Chabali said. During the fray, someone sprayed Mace that affected several more people, and another juvenile was injured by the baseball bat, Chabali said.

The action occurred inside both apartments and spilled into a grassy area outside the building facing North James H. McGee Boulevard, which brought a large crowd that continuing watching the medical and police response 45 minutes later.

Police are continuing to investigate what charges will come from the incident, Chabali said.

DAYTON &amp;#8212; Police on Monday evening, June 29, served a misdemeanor arrest warrant on a woman and they are interviewing her for information about a homicide that occurred this month.

DAYTON - You might recall the bizarre story last week of a man who hit another man in the head with a piece of wood during an argument over hot dogs and bologna:

The victim, 68, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital with life-threatening injures and homicide detectives were called to the 600 block of Rockford Avenue Thursday, June 25.

Herbert J. Boddie, 65

On Sunday officers found Herbert J. Boddie, described by numerous witnesses as the man who hit the 68-year-old, according to police.

Boddie, 65, was booked into the Montgomery County Jail at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday on a felonious assault charge and was to appear in common pleas court Monday afternoon.

Officers arrived Thursday to find the 68-year-old man on the front steps of a home, conscious but incoherent, the report stated. 

Witnesses said a man fled on foot after striking the victim in the head. Boddie had been staying at the residence for a few weeks and returned Thursday to retrieve some food, the report stated.

The 68-year-old man came out to confront Boddie, who was arguing with another resident outside the house, the report stated. Boddie said he wanted his hot dogs and bologna back, the report stated.

Witnesses said Boddie became irate for no reason, picked up a &amp;#8220;large&amp;#8221; piece of wood and struck the victim in the head, knocking him in the air.

The 68-year-old victim recovered from the blow to head, police said.

A police dog attempted to track Boddie unsuccessfully. While at the scene, officers got a call from doctors who said the victim&amp;#8217;s condition had been downgraded to life-threatening, the report stated.

Doctors discovered blood under the victim&amp;#8217;s skull, which prompted his condition to be downgraded, the report stated. Officers notified the homicide unit, which responded to conduct an investigation.

Detectives combed the area and went to numerous businesses where the suspect allegedly hangs out, but came up empty, the report stated.

* CORRECTION (July 2): Information in this article regarding speed &amp;#8220;transition zones&amp;#8221; was incorrect when it stated they must be implemented where posted speed limits drop more than 20 mph. Governor Ted Strickland vetoed that portion of the transportation budget on April 1, citing unnecessary financial costs. *

This isn&amp;#8217;t crime-related although you can get in trouble for not complying, so please read:

Starting Wednesday July 1 you must slow down or move a lane over if you see a tow truck or utility service vehicles on the side of the road.

The new traffic law is one of many folded into the transportation budget approved by the General Assembly in March. 

Semi-trucks will also be allowed to travel 65 mph on rural interstates, up from the traditional 55 mph restriction.

Drivers must also turn on headlights when you turn on your windshield wipers in the rain. Warnings will be issued this year for those who don&amp;#8217;t comply with the wiper law, but tickets could be issued in years to come.

But not moving over or slowing down for tow-trucks or utility service vehicles will cost you $300 plus court costs for first-time offenders. The second offense is a $500 fine.

The new laws are important for drivers to remember since the Ohio Highway Patrol is usually out in force on the July Fourth weekend.

HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County - Sheriff Phil Plummer has issued a county-wide alert to law-enforcement agencies for a driver of a pickup truck who hit a motorcyclist and then fled the scene Monday morning, June 29.

Sheriff&amp;#8217;s deputies are still at the scene of the accident near the intersection of Webster Street and Ottello Avenue as of 2:30 p.m., Capt. Jeff Papanek said. 

Authorities said they are looking for a gray 2008 Chevy Colorado pickup truck with a &amp;#8220;camper-like shell&amp;#8221; on the bed of the truck. Reports are the driver carries a rifle in the truck.

The motorcyclist suffered severe injuries and he is listed in serious condition at Miami Valley Hospital, Papanek said.

Anyone who sees a truck matching that description is urged to call 333-COPS or 225-4357.

DAYTON - Two men apparently took justice into their own hands Sunday when another man accosted two girls and exposed himself to them, police reported.

Hector M. Amanza was intoxicated while walking in the 100 block of Clover Street about 10 p.m. when he grabbed the buttocks of a 12- and a 13-year-old girl, according to police.

Hector M. Amanza, 24

Amanza, 24, then exposed himself to the girls, police said. The girls told two men who then went looking for Amanza and found him walking in the 200 block of Perrine Street, police said.

Judging by Amanza&amp;#8217;s Montgomery County Jail mug shot, you can imagine what happened. Police said the two men confronted Amanza and the three got into an altercation that resulted in Amanza being taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

The two men who confronted Amanza were not arrested, police said. Amanza faces misdemeanor charges of sexual imposition and public indecency.

DAYTON - The U.S. government is kicking in $500,000 to help a Montgomery County-wide program to reduce gun violence, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown announced today, June 26.

Brown, a Democrat, claimed responsibility in securing the funds as part of a $2.6 million crime prevention/youth development package passed by the Senate Appropriations Committee. 

Biehl and his department are spearheading the Community Initiative to Reduce Gun Violence (CIRGV) program which began in November. 

The program identifies members of violent groups who are then brought into a court room to discuss their actions. The program, among other things, sets out to serve as a warning to criminals that they are being monitored and their actions involving weapons will not be tolerated.
