GREENVILLE - On July 27 Greenville police was dispatched to Wayne Hospital Emergency Room regarding a disorderly patient, James Foutz. He was agitated and cursing out loud. The victim, Marcia Holmgren, stated they were waiting on a mental health evaluation due to threats to kill himself. Foutz reportedly was attempting to remove his I.V.; she was trying to keep him from doing it. Foutz said “If you touch me, you won’t live to regret it.” He also reportedly shouted at other nurses, telling them he was going to kick their *****. While a mental health representative was there, Foutz reportedly kept shouting profanity at the nurses, then told the representative he’d had a long day and wanted to end it. When asked why, he used profanity, shouting at her he didn’t have to tell her anything. He then said he was “going ******* home.” The officer told him to sit back down. Foutz then “aggressively lunged” for him and grabbed his left arm. The officer had to force him to the ground at which time he handcuffed him. The mental health representative completed paperwork for Foutz to be transferred to Detmer at Upper Valley Hospital. Foutz was cited for disorderly conduct, and a report will be forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for review regarding felony assault on an officer. 

DRUGS

A marijuana pipe, tobacco grinder and rolling papers were located where Best had been sitting. A green leafy vegetation was located where Griggs had been sitting. The Sheriff’s Deputy indicated this was in the Greenville jurisdiction, so Wenning called Greenville PD. The Greenville officer confirmed the items belonged to the noted individuals. Wenning wrote out a statement regarding the incident. Best was cited for drug paraphernalia and Griggs was cited for drug abuse. 

On July 31 Greenville police were dispatched to the 800 block of Gray Avenue regarding two subjects in a car. The male was Jeremiah Burkhart and the female was Ashley Bolin. Both were acting sluggish and could barely keep their eyes open.

The officer noticed Bolin reaching across the front seat and getting her purse and flip flops. She was asked to step out of the car. Bolin called her grandfather to pick her up and when he arrived, immediately put her purse in the truck. The officer was advised by another officer the suspects could be in possession of a stolen handgun. Bolin’s stepfather Chris Schlamb pulled up, at which time Bolin grabbed her purse and headed to his vehicle. Because of the report about the handgun the officer picked up the purse. Bolin got angry; the officer advised her for safety reasons, he had to check her purse. He found two syringes and a spoon in an interior pocket. Bolin was issued a citation for possessing drug abuse instruments and released with instructions to see her probation officer. Burkhard was released from the scene with no charges.
