GPD
investigates rape, robbery and arrest warrants
On
Jan. 25 police were dispatched regarding an unresponsive female with
a syringe lying at her side. The complainant advised she was in the
bedroom. Police found her on her back unclothed and partially covered
with a small blanket. To her right was a syringe and a nearly full
open can of beer. She was breathing lightly, had a steady pulse but
was unresponsive. Following police efforts she eventually became
coherent and was able to talk. She admitted to taking “a lot” of
heroin. The victim was also discovered to have a Failure to Comply
warrant for a charge of theft. The ambulance disposed of the syringe
and transported the female to Wayne Hospital where she told personnel
she had been raped. She advised police she was at a party drinking
when the complainant invited her to his place. She said she was fully
dressed when she injected the heroin. She lit a cigarette and doesn’t
remember anything else until she woke up naked and the paramedics
were standing over her. A sexual assault evidence collection kit was
completed after which the female was released from the hospital and
arrested on the warrant. She was transported to Darke County Jail.
Police have been unable to contact the complainant.
ROBBERY
On
Jan. 23 police responded to the Circle Mart, 100 E. Main St.,
regarding a robbery. The suspect was a white male in his early 20’s
and was wearing blue/green pajamas or sweat pants and a green/brown
fatigue coat. As he was getting ready to leave a suspect entered the
store with a curved sabre sword about three feet long, went to the
counter and demanded the money in the cash register plus cigarettes.
He was wearing a black jacket, dark pants, black ski mask and white
gloves and white shoes. The attendant believed he was disguising his
voice. When the second suspect demanded the items, the first suspect
“nonchalantly” left the store. The investigation is continuing.
An earlier release identified one arrested suspect as Trey Morton.
WARRANTS
On
Jan. 27 police were dispatched to 112 Front St. regarding a domestic
dispute. One of the parties involved, Thomas Boner, was found to have
a warrant for Failure to Appear on criminal charges of drug abuse and
drug paraphernalia. He was arrested and transported to Darke County
Jail.
On
Jan. 27 police were dispatched to 111 Windermere Dr. regarding a
warrant for Failure to Appear for a Pre-Trial on OVI, drug abuse and
open container. Robert Gray was arrested and transported to the Darke
County Jail.
On
Jan. 9 police were informed of a Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) warrant
for Derek Burton. DCSO advised it had been issued but not yet
entered into the system. Burton was observed in a vehicle with
Shannon Forsythe. Police followed the vehicle to Family Dollar where
Burton was requested to exit the vehicle. When asked, he advised he
had a syringe in his upper right coat pocket. The syringe was taken
as property; Burton will be charged with possession of drug abuse
instruments.
TRESPASS
On
Jan. 24 police were dispatched to Hot Rods & Harleys, 1240 Russ
Road, regarding a customer who was being disorderly and refusing to
leave. She was verbally abusive to the owner. Police identified Sarah
Fleming and asked her to step outside. She refused and asked the
officer if he had a backup. Fleming was advised again to leave or she
would be arrested for trespass. She refused. When Fleming was advised
she was under arrest she asked again if the officer had a backup.
Fleming then began resisting attempts to handcuff her. A second
officer arrived; she was cuffed and taken to the Darke County Jail
and charged with criminal trespass.
On
Jan. 21 police responded to a residence regarding a trespass
complaint. Police found the suspect, Todd Vaughn, at 113 Chestnut St.
He denied being at the residence at first, then admitted to going
there to retrieve personal belongings. Since Vaughn had already been
warned once about trespassing at that location, he was issued a
citation for trespass.
THEFT
On
Jan. 24 police were dispatched to Trent Auto Parts, 201 S. Ohio St.
regarding catalytic converters stolen from multiple junk vehicles.
The vehicles are surrounded by a privacy fence and there doesn’t
appear to be forced entry. No suspects at this time.
On
Jan. 21 police responded to a theft call at 503 E. Third St. A
mattress and box springs had been leaning against a wall in a common
hallway. The mattress had been stolen but the box springs left
behind. No suspects.

stolen from his store and pawned at a pawn shop in Dayton. A criminal
investigation has been initiated.
On

Service LLC, 1315 Kitchenaid Way. The owner, Stephen Warren, said his
company is the electrical contractor at the Village Green
construction site. On Dec. 9 he had 12,000 ft. of fire alarm cable
and several power tools at the site. On Jan. 13 he discovered the
cable and several of the power tools were gone. Two witnesses said
they saw a vehicle Warren believed belonged to a former employee. No
more at this time.
