Portsmouth Police Reports: Child in Danger

May 29, 2021


A Portsmouth woman came home to find a surprise guest sleeping in her bed and a man thought a police car was a good place to hide drug paraphernalia. (Hint: it’s not.)  Those are just some of the calls in the Portsmouth Police. We break down the highlights in these next 6 slides.

Someone’s Sleeping In My Bed

Just before 1 am a Thomas Avenue woman told police she’d left her door unlocked to run to the store. When she got home, the door was locked and someone was inside the home.

Police tried to contact PMHA to get a key but couldn’t get in touch with anyone. Officers asked the Portsmouth Fire Department to break into the apartment.

Once officers got inside, they discovered a man sleeping in the upstairs bedroom. He told police the woman’s father gave him permission to stay in the apartment. The woman chose not to press charges.

Not The Best Place To Hide Your Drugs

At 12:56 am, officers responded to 8th Street for a report of two people wandering in the road. Officers discovered a warrant for one of the men and took him into custody.

The guy tried to hide a drug straw inside a cruiser and then take suspected meth into the Scioto County Jail. The officer sent the suspected drugs for testing.
