PROBATE COURT
MARRIAGE APPLICATIONS
SHERIFF’S OFFICE
1/12 – James Coffelt came to the Sheriff’s Office to be served a summons for animals at large. While Coffelt spoke to another deputy, a second deputy observed that he was swaying back and forth and slurring his speech. He was giving the deputy trouble about showing up to court and expressed he did not want to sign the ticket. The second deputy chimed in with his opinion about what Coffelt needed to do and, during this time, noticed Coffelt was urinating himself. The second deputy asked if he had been drinking, to which Coffelt said no, he had drank the previous night. The deputy told him he “smelled like a brewery” and believed he was under the influence. Coffelt agreed to perform sobriety tests. He was unable to track movement with his eyes and “failed tremendously” when performing the one-leg stand test. He was arrested for OVI and blew a breathalyzer test of .305. He was issued a ticket and citation before being released to his daughter to return home.
1/14 – Deputies were called to a Freeport residence about shots fired and an argument between neighbors. The caller said their neighbors had been outside his house yelling and had fired several shots into the ground from a handgun. Deputies approached the neighbor’s home and heard him in his garage, screaming and making threats about another neighbor that was not involved in the situation. Deputies called the man out of the garage, identifying him as David Beckett. He was obviously intoxicated. Eventually, Beckett shared what had happened. Allegedly, someone had yelled at his wife, so after consuming roughly eight beers that night, he went outside yelling and fired several rounds into the ground. Once deputies secured the firearm, Beckett was arrested and taken to be medically cleared and then processed at the jail.
A Cadiz resident wanted a report made about damage to his yard from a neighbor’s cattle. He stated that this had been an ongoing issue with the cattle getting out and running around his property. He said the neighbor typically makes things right with him, but he wanted the damage documented.
A welfare check on a minor was conducted at a Scio residence. The deputy was met outside by the minor’s parents and aunt. The parents gave permission for the deputy to speak with their child. The minor said that there had been an argument about her biological brother but that nothing turned physical. She said that she did feel safe staying at the house but would rather go with her aunt. Her parents would not agree to this, and she stayed at the house. There were no signs of a physical altercation.
1/17 – A woman came to the office to report identity theft. She had previously placed a credit freeze on all three credit reporting agencies due to suspicious activity. Last week, she got an alert from one of the agencies that there was a delinquent account that had gone to collections. The woman was advised it was a T-Mobile account and was for over $600. The woman has never had T-Mobile as a provider. The report will be forwarded to the woman so that she can forward it to the collections agency for further investigation.
A man reported that he had received papers in the mail showing that unemployment had been filed in his name. He said he had not filed anything of this nature and wanted a report on file for documentation purposes.
