Disorderly
On September 8, 2025 at approximately 0043 hours, I was dispatched to 435 Tecumseh Street Greenville, Ohio 45331 in reference to a report of a subject being disorderly. Prior to my arrival, the complainant and victim in this case (James Moore) advised dispatch the subject was a guy with the last name Reed. Earlier in the night, I had two separate encounters with Joseph Reed ( the offender) where he was warned for disorderly conduct. During those encounters, P. 0. Ward, P.O. Nibert, and I observed Joseph to be highly intoxicated. Upon my arrival to the above-mentioned address, I observed Joseph on the front porch of the residence break the window next to the front door with his bare hands. I exited from my cruiser and immediately started towards Joseph, advising him to show me his hands. Joseph took off running to the East of the residence, then continued northbound in the church parking lot next door to the above-mentioned address. I observed Joseph fall down into the gravel parking lot approximately three times. While Joseph continued to flee, I shouted multiple times for him to stop and put his hands up. Joseph entered the backyard of 423 Tecumseh and it was at that point I lost sight of Joseph. P.0. M. Colby arrived on scene shortly after and we began searching the area for Joseph. We made our way around the residence of 423 and stepped into the roadway on Tecumseh. It was at this time P.0. M. Colby and I heard a noise coming from a nearby bush located behind 722 East Fourth Street. I made my way towards the bush and observed a subject hiding in the bushes. I called out to Joseph and began giving commands for him to put his hands up. I observed Joseph take off running south, in between the residence of 722 East Fourth and a fence. I ran after Joseph, giving him commands to stop before catching up to him and escorting him to the ground. I ordered Joseph to roll over onto his stomach and place his hands behind his back. Joseph attempted to stand up and was obstructing my detainment of him. I advised once more for Joseph to place his hands behind his back. It was at this time; P.0. M. Colby and I were able to detain Joseph and place him into handcuffs which were gap checked and double locked. I rolled Joseph onto his side and escorted him onto his feet from there. I observed Joseph to have multiple abrasions on his face and hands. I escorted Joseph towards my cruiser and advised him of his Miranda Rights. I asked Joseph if he understood those rights to which he replied yes. I placed Joseph in the back seat of my cruiser. P. 0. M. Colby had begun talking to James and the other subjects who were present during this incident. I made my way over to them as well. James advised Joseph was extremely intoxicated and was acting erratically. James stated he observed Joseph punch Shannon Antaramian (Joseph’s fiance) through a crack in the doorway. James advised Joseph came after him and James in turn defended himself by punching Joseph. James stated it was shortly after this occurred when Joseph punched his window and broke it into multiple different pieces. Joseph does not live with James nor own any property at 435 Tecumseh; therefore, he had no right to break the window. Kristopher Crowell was a witness to the above-mentioned statement from James. I spoke with Shannon and asked her if she would wish to fill out a victim’s rights from as well. I observed Shannon to have an abrasion on her right forearm with bleeding and severe irritation around the wound, as well as a bruise on the left side of her face that I did not observe during the two prior incidents earlier in the night. Shannon advised she did not want to pursue charges. Shannon does have a four-month-old infant who was present during this incident. Child Protective Services were notified. Shannon and Joseph are in a romantic relationship but do not have any shared children nor do they live together. I spoke with Joseph and Joseph mentioned that Shannon was holding her four-month-old child standing next to him on the porch when he punched the window. This created a risk of physical harm to Shannon and the infant as the window could have caused physical harm to either of them when it was shattered. Joseph was checked by Greenville Township Rescue before I transported him to the Darke County Jail. Jail personnel advised they wanted Joseph to go to the hospital due to the severity of injuries to his lip. I transported Joseph to Wayne Hospital where the Doctor ran a Head CT scan and monitored Joseph’s vitals for approximately two and a half hours. Joseph was then discharged with no medical intervention being needed. I transported Joseph to the Darke County Jail a second time where he is currently incarcerated on pending charges of Criminal Damaging, Obstruction, and Disorderly Conduct. Joseph, while voluntarily intoxicated, did knowingly cause a substantial risk of harm to the property of another, while also creating a risk of harm to himself and those around him, by shattering the glass window, where a four-month-old infant was in the direct debris field of, enhancing the criminal damaging charge to a misdemeanor of the first degree. Joseph had been warned on two separate occasions within only a few hours of this incident of his disorderly conduct and knowingly continued to engage in the disorderly conduct. When Joseph was ordered by officers to stop, he chose to continue to run and hide near the properties around where the incident occurred, hindering and delaying officers from performing their duties, and forcing other calls occurring to have to be placed on hold.

As I parked outside of the pharmacy doors of Walmart I observed Gary Williams exit the store. I was able to positively ID Gary from prior involvements, and made contact with Gary. Gary attempted to jog away and say he wasn’t Gary. He then jogged to a van in the BDUBS parking lot and attempted to close the door. I advised him he had a warrant for his arrest and he was going to jail.
