Wanted Person
On April 30th, 2025, at approximately 0707 hours I was at EB gas station, at 5229 Darke County Industrial Way getting gas. I observed a black Pontiac bearing registration KMF6723, which I know belongs to Jamie Saylor of Union City Ohio. I observed a male in the passenger seat of the vehicle and when passing the vehicle was able to identify the subject as Billy Saylor. I knew Billy had an active warrant from Adult Parole Authority. I ran Billy through dispatch and made contact with him advising him of the warrant. I asked Billy to step out of the vehicle and dispatch advised he did have an active warrant for parole. I detained Billy and placed him in handcuffs, which were gap checked and double locked. Dispatch confirmed the warrant through parole and Billy was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail. The warrant through parole had no bond, and the original charge was possession of drugs a felony of the fifth degree.
Shoplifting
On April 30, 2025 at approximately 1220 hours, I responded to 311 South Broadway #B; Mini Mall of All, in reference to a shoplifting complaint. Upon my arrival, I spoke with the business owner, Gail Jones. Gail stated on Saturday, April 26, a female customer came into the store. Gail advised she observed the female acting strange while looking at various items, and stated the female could be seen messing with price tags on items. Gail stated the female purchased a clock and left the store without issue. Gail advised on Tuesday, April 29, the owner of the clock came into the store and noticed the clock was sold and asked Gail to collect the money the clock was sold for. It was at this time Gail stated she was made aware that there was an issue with the price tag on the purchased clock. The clock that was purchased was listed at $40. 00, however, while in the store, the female customer swapped price tags with a different item and purchased the clock for $20. 00. Gail advised she used the money in the store’s cash register to pay the difference to the owner of the clock. Gail was able to review the video from inside the store and observed the female customer messing with various price tags in view of the cameras. Gail advised she did not recognize the woman, but would like her charged when identified. Gail was given a statement form and a victim rights form which were completed and returned back to me. Store video of the incident will be attached to this report.
Theft (not in progress)
On May 1, 2025 at approximately 2001 hours, I responded to 1324 Sweitzer Street #C2, in reference to a theft not in progress. Upon my arrival I made contact with the complainant/victim, Braeden Lewis. Braeden stated his white Nakto electric bicycle was taken from his property possibly between 1300-1500 hours. Braeden advised the key was with the bike due to damage to the bike which prevents him from removing the key. Braden was unable to provide a serial number for his bike due to there being rust near the serial number. Braeden stated the bike is missing the chain and was not fully charged, so he does not believe the bike could be driven for long. Braeden was unable to provide any names of potential suspects at this time and stated he has not given permission to anyone to use his bike. I spoke with Braeden’s neighbor at 1324 Sweitzer Street #C4, Patrick Scantland who has a camera facing Braeden’s driveway. Patrick was unable to see anyone in view of the camera at this time but was advised to email me the video if he locates anything. Braeden was given a statement and a victim rights form which were completed and returned back to me.

While taking the photographs, Maria Barton exited the camper and became upset with my presence. I advised Maria that she was not allowed to live out of the camper on the property. She asked how soon the camper needed to be moved and I advised her immediately. Maria advised she could not move the camper until 1500 hours. I further advised Maria that complaints had been made to the zoning office and Safety Service Director and that citations would be issued for any violations.
