DUI
On May 17, 2025, at approximately 1:39PM I responded to the 200 block of Oakwood Avenue in the City of Greenville in reference to a two-vehicle crash.
Upon my arrival I spoke to Jacob Jennings who advised he was traveling South on Chestnut Street in a Silver Honda Odyssey bearing Indiana registration THL755. Jacob stated he looked down at his phone and did not see the vehicle in front of him slow down. Jacob was unable to slow down in time which resulted in a collision causing minor damage to both vehicles.
The other vehicle involved driven by Mary Hoffman was parked in the driveway of 239 Oakwood, Jacob vehicle was parked about a block away from the listed address. I observed minor damage to Mary’s vehicle. I then asked Jacob to walk down to his vehicle to observe any possible damage to his vehicle. As we were walking to the defendant’s vehicle, I could smell an odor of an alcohol beverage coming from his person. After observing the vehicle which appeared to be no damage however, I observed a bottle of Tanqueray sitting on the passenger side of the vehicle. When asked about the bottle Jacob stated it was a “fresh” bottle and was open. I asked Jacob if he had anything to drink today where he hesitated but then stated he did at approximately 4:ODAM on this day. I told Jacob that I could smell the odor of an acholic beverage coming from his person where he then stated, “I am fucked”.
I then had the defendant perform SFST’s where he did so. First, I had Jacob stand in a fixed position to do the HGN ( Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus) test while doing this test, I observed nystagmus in both eyes for Distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation, both clues for lack of smooth pursuit and 2 clues for onset nystagmus prior to 45 degrees totaling all 6 clues of HGN.
Next was the walk and turn test where I had Jacob stand in the starting position and was told not to begin until I explained the instructions where he stated he understood. While explaining the instructions the defendant moved out of the starting position. Jacob did take the correct number of steps and correct turn.
Next was the one leg stand test where I had Jacob stand in the starting position and was told not to begin until I explained the instructions where he stated he understood. Jacob stated he understood and attempted to start while I was still explaining the instructions. Jacob also placed his foot down while performing this test. Jacob also did not count the way he was instructed to do so. Jacob also did not keep his hands down by his side like he was instructed to do so.
At this point I believed the defendant to be impaired to operate a vehicle and was placed under arrest for the suspicion of OVI. Jacob read his Miranda Warning where he advised he understood. While speaking to Jacob he advised he drinks all the time and has been taking “shooter” while in the vehicle. Jacob stated he has been trying to stop drinking but is having a problem with drinking. Jacob was taken back to the Greenville Police Department where the BMV 2255 form was read to him where he stated he understood. Jacob was given the chance to give a breath sample on the Intoxilyzer 8000 where he voluntarily gave a breath sample. The breath samples the defendant gave resulted in Jacob having a BAC of.357 (breath alcohol concentration of 35 hundredths of one gram of alcohol by weight per 210 Liters of his breath).
Due to Jacob test results and from being out of state Jacob was arrested for ACDA 4511. 21( A) an mm, OVI 4511. 19( A)(l)(a) an Ml and 4511. 19(A)(l)( h) an Ml.
Jacob was transported to the Darke County Jail and released to Jail Staff. I searched the backseat of my cruiser before and after transport with nothing.
Wanted Person
On May 16th, 2025, at approximately 1907 hours, I was dispatched to 1250 Russ Road, Casey’s in reference to a female subject climbing into a vehicle taking her pants off.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with Abby Lingo and a male subject. I identified Abby due to multiple prior encounters. I later identified the male subject as Joshua Combs. I had GPD dispatch run Abby and Josh through LEADS/NCIC. While waiting for dispatch I observed Joshua and Abby moving a lot and unable to stay still. While speaking with Joshua, Abby kept insisting on going to the bathroom while carrying several bags, Abby was told several times to stay outside while I investigate the call for service. GPD dispatch advised that Joshua had an active warrant for his arrest out of the city of Moraine in Montgomery County for failure to appear. I informed Joshua of the warrant. Joshua complied, turning around placing his hands behind his back. While attempting to place Joshua and handcuffs Abby asked again if she could go to the bathroom again, I told her no. While placing Joshua in handcuffs Abby left the scene going into the gas station, disobeying a lawful order. Due to Abby leaving the scene I placed Josh in handcuffs unable to double lock them. Joshua was not searched prior to being placed in the back seat of my cruiser.
After placing Joshua in the back seat, I went into Casey’s to speak with Abby. Abby was arrested for several other charges please see incident 25-G00670.
After, Abby and Joshua were placed in separate cars. I observed Joshua unconscious in the back seat of my cruiser. I performed a sternum rub on Joshua, waking him up. Greenville Township Rescue arrived on scene and transported Joshua and Abby to Wayne Health Care due to symptoms that appeared to be an overdose.
Joshua was released from Wayne Health Care and transported to Darke County Jail by P.O. Nibert and P.O. Slade. Joshua was released to Darke County Jail staff and will be transported to Montgomery County on the warrant. Abby was released to the care of Wayne Healthcare and charges are pending for her.
DUI
On May 9, 2025, at approximately 2345 hours, I observed a silver Honda bearing Ohio registration HZL8297 traveling west on West Main Street, in the City of Greenville. While standing outside of my cruiser, on a separate call, in the 200 block of West Main Street I heard the vehicle rev it’s engine as it went past me at a high rate of speed. I observed this vehicle continue to travel at a high rate of speed towards Elm Street where the vehicle came to an abrupt stop, past the stop bar, and in the intersection. I then got into my cruiser and attempted to catch up to the vehicle, which was traveling westbound again.
I observed the vehicle turn south onto Vine Street and then observed the vehicle turn west into the alley between West Fourth Street and West Third Street. At this time, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle as it pulled into the gravel driveway behind 442 West Fourth Street. As I approached the vehicle, the driver who would later be identified as Bonnie Sue Brandt, began to get out of the vehicle. I yelled for Bonnie to get back in the vehicle 4 times before she got back into the vehicle. At this time, I told Bonnie to turn down her car’s radio so I could speak with her. Bonnie appeared to have difficulty turning the radio down.
Upon turning the radio down, Bonnie asked, “what did I. What did I do?” As Bonnie spoke, I was able to smell a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her breath and saw that her eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Bonnie continued to slur her speech and she appeared to be disoriented due to alcohol intoxication. I then advised Bonnie the reason for the traffic stop and asked her for her ID. While Bonnie was looking for her ID, I asked her how much she has had to drink tonight, to which she replied, “Uh two beers. A couple hours ago at the Eagle’s in Versailles.” Bonnie then asked if I needed her license and provided it to me. I then advised Bonnie I also needed to see her registration and insurance. Bonnie began searching for these items and asked me multiple times what else I needed to see. During this search of her wallet, I could see her insurance card in view and she attempted to hand me a medical prescription coupon card multiple times.
I then asked Bonnie to preform a complete series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, to which she agreed. As Bonnie began to exit the vehicle, she stated, “I am a tax playing Cit-er-zen” and continued to slur her words. I advised Bonnie to stand with Sgt. Marion while I moved my cruiser onto the paved alleyway so she could preform her tests. The first test I attempted to have Bonnie preform was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus ( HGN) test. I attempted to place Bonnie into the starting position to give her instructions, however, Bonnie was unable to put her feet together and when I told her to put her arms down to her sides, she began to fall to her right side. Bonnie began laughing while Sgt. Marion and I helped her regain her balance. I then instructed Bonnie to lean up against the front of my cruiser so I could complete the instructions of this test.
Upon having Bonnie lean against the front of my cruiser, I again instructed her to put her feet together while I demonstrated. Bonnie did not put her feet together as instructed and I told her one more time, to which she replied, “aren’t they?” Bonnie’s feet were approximately 4 inches away from each other during the test. I then instructed Bonnie to track my pen with her eyes and her eyes only, without moving her head, to which she stated she understood. Upon attempting to verify that Bonnie had equal and reactive pupils, she continued to move her head and look at my flashlight. Bonnie continued to look at my light after being told multiple times to only track the pen. Bonnie was also holding onto the front of my cruiser with both hands for balance. Due to Bonnie being unable to follow the directions of this test, I moved onto the next test.
The next test I attempted to have Bonnie preform was the walk and turn. I then attempted to put Bonnie into the starting position, however, Bonnie was unable to stop holding onto the front of the cruiser and unable to put her feet into the starting position. Bonnie continued to lean and almost fell over multiple times while I attempted to explain the instructions of this test. Bonnie continued to slur her words and stated she was unsteady. I explained to Bonnie that for her safety I would move onto the last test. After telling Bonnie this, she put both hands directly in the air and stated, “I can continue to try if you want me to.” Bonnie then walked approximately 5 feet before she turned around and stated she was uncoordinated. Bonnie almost fell down again, before Sgt. Marion helped steady her. During the instruction phase of this test, I observed Bonnie move her feet to keep balance, Bonnie started before instructions were completed and she continued to raise her arms above 6 inches from her sides. For Bonnie’s safety, I moved onto the final test.
The final test I attempted to have Bonnie preform was the one leg stand. I attempted to place Bonnie into the starting position, however, Bonnie continued to raise her arms and her body was swaying. Bonnie continued to grab the front of the cruiser for balance. I then demonstrated this test for Bonnie and advised her she could begin. Bonnie stated she understood the instructions and proceeded to lift both hands above her head while she raised one foot. Bonnie stated, “I’m not sure I can do it without standing.” I observed Bonnie swaying during this test, I observed Bonnie raise her arms more than 6 inches from her sides and I observed Bonnie put her foot back on the ground multiple times before beginning to fall to her left before I steadied her. For Bonnie’s safety I ended this test.
Due to Bonnie’s poor performance on the field sobriety testing, as well as indicators prior to testing, I determined that her ability to operate a motor vehicle was appreciably impaired and placed her under arrest for OVI. Bonnie was placed into handcuffs that were gap checked and double-locked. Bonnie was read her Miranda rights, to which she stated she understood. Bonnie was searched incident to arrest with nothing located. While looking for Bonnie’s keys and cell phone in her vehicle an empty’Bud Light Lime’ 12 oz beer bottle located.
Bonnie’s vehicle was then turned off and locked reference being in her rear driveway.
Bonnie was transported to the Greenville Police Department, where she was read the BMV2255 in the presence of Sgt. Marion. Bonnie voluntarily provided a breath sample. The result of this sample showed a breath alcohol concentration of 15 hundredths of one gram of alcohol by weight per 210 liters of her breath (. 150). Due to Bonnie’s test results, her Ohio license was seized, and her driving privileges were placed under an ALS suspension. Bonnie was then advised her license was placed under suspension. While waiting at the police department, Bonnie stated that she was also drinking alcoholic fruit punch while at the Eagles and was unsure what, or how much, alcohol was in it.
Bonnie advised her boyfriend, Mark Rapsawhich, lives at 442 West Fourth Street in Greenville. Due to being unable to contact him by telephone, P. 0. Slade made contact with him at the residence and he came to the police department to pick Bonnie up. Bonnie was issued a citation for Stop Sign and OVI. Bonnie was given her copy of the citation, the BMV2255 and her breath results all in the presence of Mark. Cruiser 1941 was checked prior to and after transport with no contraband located.
Vandalism
On May 2, 2025, at approximately 1729 hours, I responded to 5438 State Route 49 S; Colonial Trailer Park, in the City of Greenville in reference to a vandalism.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with the complainant, Gregory Metzcar. Gregory advised that he rents multiple storage units at the front driveway to the trailer court. Gregory stated that he regularly checks the units and that today, he noticed one of his units was missing the padlock and had damage to the door. Gregory stated that after fixing the damaged latch on the door, he was again able to open the unit. Gregory stated there was nothing stolen from inside the unit and that he had another padlock to put on the door. Gregory stated that he wanted this incident to be documented reference other units being broken into earlier in the year.
Gregory fixed the damage and stated nothing was stolen from the unit. Photos were taken of the damage and inside the unit. There are no cameras in the area. Gregory does not want charges at this time just wanted the department aware.
Disorderly
On May 19th, 2025 at approximately 0845 hours, I was dispatched to the area of East Fifth Street and South Broadway Street in Greenville, Ohio 45331 in reference to a report of a male subject yelling at anyone he sees, wearing jeans, a black hoody with Miami logo on it, backpack, and sunglasses. I was also advised the subject was approximately 6′-1”.
Upon my arrival, I patrolled the area attempting to locate the subject but was unable to do so. Dispatch then advised there was a second call on that subject located at 853 East Main Street (The Laundry Room). The second caller was Danielle Hunt. Danielle advised there was a male subject in the building matching the same description, yelling and being belligerent with her husband Tom Hunt, who owns The Laundry Room. Danielle advised the subject was asked to leave several times before yelling at the owner and threatening him as well.
Danielle then advised the subject was walking towards CVS which is northeast of The Laundry Room.
I arrived in the area a few moments later and located Ricky Martin (Ricky). Ricky matched the description of the subject and he seemed agitated. I exited my cruiser and spoke with Ricky. Ricky stated, “I got to take a shit, I’m crowning” and Tom would not allow him to. I attempted to advise Ricky the bathroom is for paying customers only to which Ricky replied, “You’re talking to me you’re talking to God”. It was around this time P.0. Daugherty arrived on scene. While speaking with Ricky he yelled sometime after, “This is harassment”. I replied, “It’s not harassment”. Ricky then yelled again, “It is”. I then attempted to explain to Ricky that he could not go around in a public area and yell and threaten people. Ricky interrupted me saying, “I’m the fucking son, I’11 do what the fuck I want to do” while taking multiple steps towards myself and P. 0. Daugherty and removing his sunglasses. I then took a few steps back and got into a defensive position. I stated, “Back the hell up Ricky right now”. I then put my hand on my taser and advised him to back up and calm down.
P. 0. Daugherty advised me to start a disorderly ticket and advised Ricky he would be receiving a citation for disorderly conduct. While writing the citation I could hear and observe Ricky yelling the whole time and being disorderly with P.0. Daugherty. I issued Ricky a copy of his citation and advised him of his court date and time. Ricky then ripped the citation into multiple pieces.
I returned to The Laundry Room where Danielle and Tom filled out witness statement forms. Tom also filled out a victim’s rights form due to the threats Ricky had made. In Tom’s statement form he advised, “He kept getting in my face and telling me he was going to take care of me.” I reviewed the security footage provided by Danielle, and while I could not hear what Ricky was saying, I can state that with Ricky’s stature and actions, Tom felt threatened by what Ricky was saying. The security footage of the altercation will be attached to this report. There is no audio with the video, however when reviewing the footage, Ricky’s body language and demeanor was standoffish. He can be seen throwing his hands in the air and pointing his finger in Tom’s face. Ricky also gets close to Tom multiple times, appearing to get into a fighting stance. Ricky was warned for trespass from The Laundry Room as well. This incident was captured on my Axon body worn camera.
