PARKING COMPLAINT

November 13, 2025 – At approximately 1740 hours, I was dispatched to 1200 Blk of Greenmore Drive, in reference to a parking complaint.

Upon my arrival, I observed a Gray 2005 Chrysler bearing the Ohio registration JGT9890. I ran the registration through LEADS/NCIC and determined that the vehicle’s registration had expired. I attempted to contact the registered owner and discovered that the registered owner was deceased as of 06/30/2024. I canvased the area in an attempt to find the current owner of the vehicle but was unable to determine who the current owner was. Additionally, nearby neighbors were unable to give me any information as to who the vehicle belonged to or how it came to be parked at in the 1200 Blk of Greenmore Drive. I marked and tagged the vehicle in accordance with the Greenville Police Department Policy.

I continued to investigate who the vehicle belonged and was unable to get any further information on next of kin or the current owner.

On March 3rd, 2026, the vehicle had still not moved from the original spot where it was marked and tagged. The vehicle was towed by Hot Rods towing at the request of Lt. Monnin.
The vehicle will remain in the custody of Hot Rods until the owner comes forward.

WARRANT

March 9, 2026 – At approximately 2336 hours, P. O. near CVS. Ralph advised that Michael Crawford, who is with County Probation, was staying at 314 1/2 Ash Street. Ward and I were stopped by Ralph Bailey, known to have a warrant through Darke County.

Upon the officer’s arrival, we made contact with resident Michael Ramey. Ramey advised that Crawford was currently in the residence and gave consent to go in the residence to apprehend Crawford. Upon making entry, P. O. Kreitzer located Crawford in the Kitchen closet, lying down, covering himself with blankets. Crawford was instructed by officers to come out of the closet. Crawford came out of the closet without any issues. I placed Crawford in handcuffs, which were later gap checked and double locked. Crawford was searched incident to arrest and no contraband was located. Dispatch confirmed the warrant for probation violation through LEADS/NCIC. P.O. Ward transported Crawford to the Darke County Jail, where he was released to jail staff.

March 8, 2026 – I was on routine patrol in the 300 block of West Water Street in the city of Greenville when I observed who I know as Rodney Wert in the 300 block. I ran Rodney through LEADS/NCIC and found he had an active warrant through the Athens County Sheriff’s Office for Violation of a court Order, no bond.

I made contact with Rodney and advised him of his warrant and detained him in handcuffs, which were double-locked and gap-checked.

Rodney’s warrant was confirmed by GPD Dispatch and I transported Rodney to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated for his warrant. The back seat of my police cruiser was checked prior to and after transport and no contraband was located.
