DOMESTIC
May 19, 2025 – At approximately 8:03 pm, I responded to 300 East Third Street in the City of Greenville in reference to a domestic.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with the male half, Douglas Cunningham, in his vehicle. Douglas advised that he and the complainant, Nancy Adams/Ashmore, had been in a romantic relationship and living together at this address. Douglas advised that shortly prior to the officer’s arrival, he broke up with Nancy. Douglas advised that the two had been arguing for multiple hours, which led to this decision. Douglas advised that he still has some items inside the residence and that he will call at a later time to keep the peace to retrieve them.
Upon speaking with Nancy, she advised of the same sequence of events. Nancy stated that nothing between the two was physical and that she was upset with the outcome. Nancy was advised that the two should call back to keep the peace when Douglas is ready to retrieve the rest of his items. Both parties denied any physical altercation. No school-aged children were present. Douglas left the residence.

Joseph allowed me to go inside and talk to Cherylene. Cherylene advised that she had lived with Joseph at this residence for approximately 3 months.

May 30, 2025 – At approximately 11:08 pm, I observed the listed 2006 Saturn traveling eastbound on East Main Street in the City of Greenville. I checked the vehicle’s registration through LEADS/NCIC and learned the registered owner’s driving privileges are under a non-compliance suspension from 02/21/2025 to indefinite. The registered owner also has an active arrest warrant out of Greenville, Ohio, for failure to appear for a traffic offense, bond $5,025.
I conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver, Shawn Bozarth, who is the registered owner of the vehicle. I placed Shawn in handcuffs. The handcuffs were double-locked and gap-checked. Dispatch confirmed the warrant through LEADS/NCIC. I placed Shawn in the backseat of my cruiser and transported him to the Darke County Jail. Shawn was released to the Jail staff.
Shawn was issued a citation for driving under suspension and he was advised of his court date. I checked the backseat of my cruiser before and after the transport, and I found nothing.

Upon my arrival, I made contact with Shelby Pell. Shelby advised that she and her husband, Timothy Brown, got into an argument over a disagreement of parenting styles. Shelby advised Timothy to grab the sunglasses off her head, which got caught in her hair, causing her hair to be pulled.
Shelby advised that there was nothing physical beyond him taking her sunglasses. Shelby and Timothy have been married for approximately a year and have resided at the residence together for approximately a year. Shelby is currently pregnant with Timothy’s child.
Timothy gathered some items from the residence and left for the night.
THEFT
May 25, 2025 – At approximately 1 pm, I was dispatched to 120 West Third Street (Dino’s Hydro & Hippie Shop LLC), Greenville, Ohio 45331 in reference to a report of a theft not in progress.
Upon my arrival, I spoke with the owner of the store, Daniel Smith. Dan stated on May 22nd that his girlfriend, Alicia Gasper (the victim), lost her wallet. Dan advised that they look for the wallet for a couple of days and decided to check their security cameras to see what they could learn and observe. Upon review of the footage, Alicia and Dan observed an elder male wearing a ball cap, glasses, a red shirt, blue jeans, and what appeared to be black shoes walk in front of the store, which faces South. The male went around the store to the west and began walking north at that point. The man can be seen walking behind one of the vehicles in the parking lot, bending down behind the vehicle and picking up what appeared to be a wallet. The man is then seen walking north between a couple of buildings.
I spoke with Alicia about the incident and she advised that she remembered setting her wallet down in the store. Alicia then stated sometime later, she had her arms full of supplies she was taking out to her vehicle and grabbed her wallet at that same time. That was the last time Alicia remembered seeing her wallet. Alicia believes she dropped her wallet outside of her vehicle and was unaware until after reviewing the footage.
I reviewed the footage myself, which will be attached to this report and based on my observations, I find the statement above to be accurate in accordance with what the video footage shows. Alicia filled out a statement and a victim’s rights form. At this time, I am unable to identify the man in the video. Once he is identified, he will be facing charges for theft pending further investigation.
WARRANT
May 31, 2025 – At approximately 1:57 pm, Sgt. Prickett and I were dispatched to Rural King, 695 Wagner Avenue, in the City of Greenville, on the complaint of a subject there with a warrant.
The complainant advised that Jessie Courtney was in the store, going to the registers and that she was wearing a white hat, gray sweatshirt, and light blue jeans. Dispatch checked and did see that Jessie Courtney had a warrant through Darke County for Driving Under Suspension.
When I arrived, a male subject by the entrance pointed to a black SUV where subjects were getting into the vehicle. I did observe a subject getting into the passenger rear side of the vehicle, matching the clothing description given.
The subject got into the backseat and closed the door. I approached the vehicle and the front seat passenger confirmed that Courtney was in the vehicle. Courtney opened the door and stepped out of the vehicle. She did not have her identification, but provided her Social Security number. Dispatch ran the social security number through LEADS/NCIC and confirmed it was for Courtney. I detained Courtney while dispatch confirmed the warrant.
Courtney was placed in handcuffs behind her back, where they were gap-checked for tightness and double-locked. I transported Courtney to the Darke County Jail in the backseat of cruiser 1941. The backseat was checked before and after transport.
Courtney was incarcerated on the warrant for DUS, with a bond of $1,025.
