Juvenile complainant, Nathan Williams, advised that he and 3 other juveniles found a backpack that was on one of the skate ramps unattended. The backpack contained a loaded handgun inside.
Upon my arrival, I located a black backpack with a Glock 45 with a fully loaded magazine inside of the firearm. No other items were located inside the backpack, only the firearm. The juvenile complainant advised that he had touched the firearm, then called the police after realizing it was real and not a toy.
The firearm and backpack were transported to the Greenville Police Department and placed into property for safekeeping.
On April 9th at approximately 2247 hours, I received a call from Zachary Brown, who called the police department about forgetting his gun in the park. Zachary advised that he had left his firearm at the skate park in a backpack. Zachary advised that he had left the firearm and backpack at the park on April 8th. I advised Zachary that he is not able to get the firearm back, as this case is now under investigation and the firearm is evidence.
On April 10th, I made contact with Sara Williams, mother of Nathan, Faith and Bradley, who were all present and located the firearm. Sara advised that she wanted to press charges due to the risk of the children finding the firearm. Nathan filled out a witness statement and Sara filled out a victim’s rights form on behalf of Nathan.
On April 14th, 2026, I made contact with Zachary, asking him to come to the Greenville Police Department to receive a citation. At approximately 1806 hours, Zachary came to the police department advising that he had left the gun at approximately 1930 hours on April 8th.
Zachary was issued his copy of the citation for disorderly conduct due to Zachary recklessly causing alarm by leaving his firearm in the park and the risk of physical harm to persons. He was advised of his mandatory court date.
JUVENILE COMPLAINT
April 16th, 2026 – At approximately 1954 hours, I responded to the Greenville City South Park in reference to a juvenile complainant.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with the complainant, Angie Green. Angie stated that she lives across the street from the park and shortly prior to contacting our department, she observed a male juvenile get into a physical altercation with a female juvenile. Angie then pointed out the male juvenile, who will be referred to as CV (Child Victim) throughout this report. I then made contact with the CV and asked him what had occurred. The CV began crying and stated that he and his little sister got into an argument and he then pushed her to the ground. Neither the CV or his sister had any injuries in reference to this altercation. Shortly after speaking with the CV’s parents, the CV’s parents arrived on scene. Officers then spoke with the CV’s father, Donald “Donnie” Smith. Donnie apologized to the officers for this incident and advised the children that they would be grounded.
While I spoke with the CV’s mother, Marjorie Hawley, Christopher Willman entered the conversation. Christopher is a stepfather to multiple other female juveniles who were also playing at the park. Christopher then advised Marjorie, in front of officers, that he told the CV that if the CV touched his daughters, he would “beat his ass.”
Marjorie then advised Christopher that if her children are acting poorly, to contact her, and that no one else better put their hands on her children. After a brief verbal altercation, Christopher got into a vehicle with his wife and children and left the scene. As the children all began to leave the scene, Donnie began yelling and became very upset about something. Upon officers asking Donnie what was going on, he advised officers that the CV stated Christopher had threatened him prior to the officers’ arrival on the scene.
Upon speaking with the CV, in the presence of his parents, the CV advised me that prior to the officer’s arrival, Christopher had arrived on scene with his wife.
The CV stated that Christopher approached him and asked him if the CV had hurt his daughters. The CV told Christopher that he did not touch his daughters and that the fight was between him and his sister. The CV stated that Christopher then told him, “If you hurt my daughters, I’ll beat your fucking ass.” The CV stated that Christopher then left him alone until after officers had arrived on scene. The CV stated that while officers were speaking with his parents, Christopher came over to him again and asked, “Should I do it now or later?” The CV believed Christopher was asking if he should beat the CV up. The complainant, Angie, confirmed that she had heard Christopher threaten the CV.
Officers then made contact with Christopher at his address. When asked about this incident, Christopher originally began to lie and say that he did not threaten the CV. I then advised Christopher that both officers on scene had witnessed him tell the CV’s mother that he told the CV that he would “beat his ass.” Christopher then admitted to telling the CV that, “If he hurt my daughters, I would take my belt off and whoop his ass.”
Donnie Smith completed a written statement form and a victim’s rights form on the CV’s behalf. A confidential disclosure of information sheet was completed on the CV’s behalf. Christopher was issued a citation for menacing, a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
OVI
May 5th, 2026 – At approximately 1442 hours, I was dispatched to the Party Mart, 1525 Wagner Ave #B in the city of Greenville in reference to a subject in a black truck drinking beer in his vehicle.
Upon my arrival to the area, the complainant advised the vehicle mentioned above had left the parking lot and was at the stop light at the intersection of Wagner Ave and Lease Ave heading southbound. I was at the same stoplight heading northbound and saw the vehicle. I turned around and activated my emergency overhead lights. The vehicle pulled into the Tractor Supply parking lot, 1415 Wagner Ave. The vehicle was bearing Ohio registration, KJX5319.
I made contact with the driver, Christopher Miller, the defendant in this case. I advised him of the complaint, and he advised that he was just trying to pick up Taco Bell and go about his day. While speaking with the defendant, I could see an open package of Bud Light beer on the passenger side floorboard. He advised he just bought it and dumped out the glass beer bottles that were in the box. I asked the defendant if he had any alcohol to drink today, and he said no and held up his Red Bull can. I asked the defendant to step out of the vehicle and to perform field sobriety tests. The defendant agreed and stepped out.
I had the defendant step back towards my cruiser. While having the defendant get into the starting position, he was being uncooperative and was being overly dramatic with his movements. He did not want to move into the starting position and refused to take off his hat or turn it around so I could see his eyes while conducting the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test (HGN). The defendant eventually turned his hat around so I could begin the test.
I had the defendant get in the starting position and gave him instructions, to which he stated he understood. When I started the test, the defendant initially was just staring at me. I advised him to follow the pen with his eyes and he stated, “I’m staring you in your eyes cause you have pretty blue eyes, bro.”
While I was conducting the test, the defendant did not want to cooperate and just knelt to the ground. The defendant eventually allowed me to continue and finish the test. While conducting the test, the defendant followed the stimulus but wanted to talk. I finished the test and during the HGN, I observed a total of two clues.
The next test I had the defendant perform was the walk and turn. I had the defendant get in the starting position. I was starting to give him the instructions to the test, but I had to respond to radio traffic. The defendant immediately started moving around and threw his hands in the air. I told him to get back in the starting position and he stated, “Well, the winds are blowing, what do you expect?”.
I offered to have him perform the standardized field sobriety tests at the station out of the wind and rain, but he refused. I then had the defendant get back in the starting position and finished explaining the instructions. The defendant advised that he had a bad hip and I offered for him not to perform this test, but he wanted to continue the test. I asked if he understood the instructions and he stated, “It makes perfect sense”. While the defendant performed the test, he stopped halfway through the test, thinking he was done, but then finally finished the test. During this test, I observed a total of 6 clues.
The final test I had the defendant perform was the one-leg stand test. While I was explaining the instructions, the defendant was looking off, not listening to the instructions by staying in the starting position, and raising his arms in a frustrated manner. Once I finished the instructions, I asked if he understood the
instructions and he stated, “I’m not doing till you tell me to stop”. I advised him that is how this test is performed and he said the test is a joke. I advised him that he could refuse to perform the test if he wanted. He was being argumentative and attempted to perform the test once. He immediately got off balance, raised his arms and put his foot down. He then tried to do the test again, not following the instructions. He picked up a foot, stared at me, had his arms out horizontally, and did not count in the manner I told him to. I told him to stop the test. During this test, regardless of him not performing in the manner I advised, I observed a total of 3 clues.
I had the defendant step to the back of his truck. P. O. Daugherty asked the defendant if he had taken any drugs today. The defendant advised that he does not do drugs. The defendant did state, “I smoked a little bit of marijuana”. Due to the defendant’s poor field sobriety tests, the defendant admitted he had used marijuana, and a witness who stated they saw him drinking beer in a parking lot, P. O. Daugherty advised the defendant he was under arrest for OVI. P. O. Daugherty read the defendant his Miranda rights, and the defendant refused to answer if he understood his rights. The defendant was placed in handcuffs that were gap-checked and double-locked. He was searched incident to arrest and no contraband was located. He was placed in the back of my cruiser.
The defendant’s vehicle was in the middle of the parking lot, so we decided to have the vehicle towed. We conducted an inventory of the vehicle. While conducting the inventory, we located the package of beer that the defendant had dumped out earlier. The package was a 12-pack; we located 9 unopened beer bottles in the front passenger floorboard. We then located three open and empty beer bottles on the back seat floorboard. Those bottles were photographed, please see the photolog for further. The listed vehicle was towed by Hod Rods. Photos were taken of the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Please see the vehicle report and photolog for further.
I transported the defendant to the Greenville Police Department. While in the back seat of the cruiser, I read and showed him the BMV2255 form in the presence of P. O. Conway. The defendant refused consent to a blood draw. The defendant was transported to the Darke County Jail to be incarcerated. I offered the defendant another chance to perform a breathalyzer test and he refused again.
The defendant was cited for OVI. He was advised that his license is under an ALS suspension. Dispatch ran a CCH on the defendant, and he has no prior OVI convictions. He was given a copy of the citation and advised of his mandatory court date and time.
While I was doing the transport, P. O. Daugherty went to the Party Mart to speak with the initial complainant. Benjamin Hangen advised that a customer came through the drive-through and was extremely agitated. The customer asked for cigarettes and a 12-pack of Bud Light. The customer stated to Ben that he was having a string of bad days and they were just getting worse. After the customer paid, he peeled out of the drive-through and parked on the side of the business’s property. While the customer was parked, Ben could see him drinking the beer he had just bought. The customer stayed on the property for about 30 minutes and then turned southbound onto Wagner Ave.
THEFT
April 29th, 2026 – At approximately 1850 hours, I was dispatched to 1501 Wagner Avenue, Walmart, in reference to a trespassing/theft complaint.
The complainant advised GPD Dispatch that a male subject wearing an orange hoodie is possibly trying to steal trading cards by concealing the cards inside of his clothes. Walmart staff advised that they want the subject to be trespassed and items returned. Upon the officer’s arrival, Walmart loss prevention officer John Mott pointed out the male subject.
I recognized the male subject as Gregory Stutz (Greg) from prior encounters. Upon making contact with Greg, we advised him that we were calling in reference him attempting to steal trading cards and to return the merchandise that he had concealed on his person. Greg stated that he did not take any items or have anything in his pockets. Greg continued to pull out his pants pockets and lift his hoodie up, showing his waistline.
I observed Greg’s hands visibly shaking while trying to talk to myself and Sgt. Wolfe. In the front of the hoodie pocket, I observed a square outline that resembled trading cards. It was at this point that Greg was detained. I checked Greg’s front hoodie pocket, finding several sealed trading cards in his pocket.
I asked dispatch if Greg had any prior documented warnings for trespass from Walmart. Dispatch advised Greg was warned for trespass on October 8th, 2025, by P. O. Wentworth. I advised Greg that he was under arrest for criminal trespass and asked him to place his hands behind his back. Greg was placed in handcuffs, which were gap-checked and double-locked. Greg was searched incident to arrest, and no other contraband was located. Sgt. Wolfe advised Greg of his Miranda Rights, to which he stated he understood.
I transported Greg to the Darke County Jail, where he was released to jail staff. Greg was served his copy of the citation for criminal trespass and advised of his mandatory court date.
John filled out a witness statement and completed a victim’s rights form on behalf of Walmart. Both will be attached to this report.
April 27, 2026 – At approximately 1000 hours, I responded to 400 Wayne Avenue in the City of Greenville in reference to a possible theft that had occurred.
Upon my arrival, I spoke to John Singleman, who lives at the address listed above. John stated that on this day, he went to take his dog on a walk and noticed one of his AC window units was missing from a bedroom that he had been remodeling. John stated he was sure the AC Unit was there on 04/26/25, early in the afternoon. John stated it was a white GE 6,000 BTU AC unit. John stated he believed that the unit was $600.
John stated he did not know anyone who would have taken it. John stated he did not hear anything throughout the night. John does not have any cameras around his residence that would have been able to capture this incident. I observed where the unit was and it did not appear that the window was damaged or that anything had been tampered with to get the AC Unit out. I did observe cameras at 407 Wayne Avenue that may have captured this incident, but I was unable to make contact. The 407 Wayne Avenue address is a duplex and is currently for sale and it is unclear if anyone is currently living there.
I will need to follow up with the address mentioned above for camera footage.
April 30th, 2026 – At approximately 1623 hours, Harlee Cross, wife of the complainant, called the police department advising she had located the male suspect who had stolen their bicycle, riding a bike in the 4400 block of Children’s Home Bradford Road. The Darke County Sheriff’s office responded and detained the male subject in the 4200 block of Children’s Home Bradford Road.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with the male subject in the back of the Darke County Sheriff’s office cruiser. I was able to identify the male subject from a photo of the house security camera, along with the backpack that was with him. The male subject identified himself as Gabriel Villarreal. I advised Gabriel of his Miranda Rights to which he said he understood. I asked Gabriel if he had stolen the bicycle that he was on. Gabriel admitted to stealing the bicycle approximately 2 days ago (the same day as the theft), then spray-painting the bicycle. I observed the bike was spray-painted black with green handlebars, but the wheels still were blue as previously described. When asking Gabriel why he took the bicycle he advised he needed a faster way to get to work and back, which wasn’t his skateboard.
Photos were taken of the bicycle and filed with this report. The bicycle was returned to Harlee without further incident.
I exchanged handcuffs, placing Gabriel’s in mine, which were gap-checked and double-locked. I transported Gabriel to the Greenville Police Department, where he was issued his citation for theft. Gabriel was advised of his mandatory court date and time. Gabriel was released and I transported him back to his residence at 4234 Children’s Home Bradford Road.
April 19th, 2026 – At approximately 0916 hours, I was dispatched to 928 Gray Avenue in the city of Greenville, Ohio, in reference to a theft not in progress.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with Anna Roberts, who advised that a Hi-Point CF380 that was in her home had been stolen. The gun is registered to Frankie Barker, but was given to Anna to keep at her house. Anna advised that she last saw the gun on Friday, April 17th, at approximately 1500 hours. She said that she had asked Harmony Tucker to come to the house and watch her two children that evening. Anna further advised that Frankie, herself, and Harmony were the only three people who knew about the gun.
I asked Anna if anyone else knew about the gun or who was in the house on that day, to which she replied, no and that there were no other people in the house that evening. Anna advised that she keep the firearm in a bedside drawer and noticed it was missing when she went to retrieve her son’s social security card, which was located in the same drawer on 04/19/2026.
Anna advised that she suspects that Harmony is the one who took the gun, as Harmony has a history of taking things from Anna and her house. I contacted Frankie Barker regarding this issue, as he is the registered owner of the firearm. He advised that he did not have the firearm and that Anna had not
informed him that the firearm had been stolen.
Later in the day, I was able to make contact with Harmony. I asked Harmony about the incident. She advised that when she arrived to watch Anna’s children, there was another man in the house. Harmony advised that she did not know his name but that he went by “Smoke” and lived somewhere outside of town.
This statement was contrary to Anna’s statement about no one else being in the house.
I asked Harmony if she took the gun or if she had the gun on her. She denied taking the gun and allowed me to search for her bag and there was no gun present. I asked Harmony to recount the events that evening. She said she arrived at approximately 1500 hours to watch Anna’s children and that there was a man who went by the name “Smoke”, later identified as Kyle Barga, sitting on the couch in the dark. Sometime after 2000 hours “Smoke” left, and Harmony and Anna followed in Anna’s car to “Smoke’s” residence. Harmony stated that they were hanging out at “Smoke’s” house, drinking for a few hours, when “Smoke” drove Anna and Harmony back to Anna’s house. Harmony returned to the house and Anna stayed in the car with “Smoke”. She said she stayed at the house until Anna returned to the house sometime later that evening. After Anna returned to the house, Harley advised that Anna said that she was probably going to go to jail.
I believe that this incident may be related to PO Kiryluks’ incident on 04/18/2026. Please see his report 26-G00435 for further context.
On April 21st, 2026, at approximately 1015 hours, I went to Greenville Pawn and Jewelry located at 126 West 4th St., Greenville. I asked an employee who was present if they had recently purchased a firearm of a similar make and model or serial number. The employee said they had not purchased any firearms, but stated that if one came in, she would contact GPD.
At this time there are no further leads as to the location of the firearm or suspect regarding the stolen firearm.

April 18th, 2026 – At approximately 2251 hours, I was on routine patrol in the area of 13th Street and Gray Avenue when I observed a subject riding a bike northbound in the alley coming from Front Street. I had prior knowledge of a residence in the area that known drug users and dealers visit often, which I had observed in recent weeks. Knowing many drug users in the city of Greenville are known to travel on bikes and, at times, have active warrants for their arrest, I began to turn northbound in the alley to see who the subject was. As I turned down the alley, the subject quickly turned around and began riding back southbound and turned eastbound on Front Street. As I reached Front Street in the alley, I observed Sierra Hill. In recent weeks, I had observed Sierra to often be with Todd Garner. I asked Sierra where Todd was, and she advised that she last saw him eastbound on Front Street.
I advised GPD Dispatch to check Todd for warrants, which they advised Todd had an active warrant through Ohio Adult Parole for a Parole Violation.
While checking the area, I observed a subject riding a bike very quickly northbound towards me in the area of 13th Street and Hiddes Avenue. As the subject got closer, I recognized him as Todd Garner. I began to turn my cruiser and yelled out my open front driver side window, “Todd, stop!”
Todd ignored my command to stop and instead continued to ride away quickly and turned down the alley between 12th Street and 13th Street, fleeing from me. I activated my overhead emergency lights and sirens and began to give chase. I was able to catch up to Todd as he was traveling northbound on Riffle Avenue with my emergency lights and sirens still activated, but he still refused to stop. I shouted over the loudspeaker of my cruiser, “Todd, stop!”, but he again ignored me and continued to flee. I continued to pursue Todd down Riffle Avenue and then Eastbound on 11th Street, northbound on Anderson Avenue, eastbound on Martin Street, northbound on Plum Street, eastbound in the alley off of Plum Street and Martin Street, then northbound in the alley crossing over Hall Street, Tiffin Street, Morrow Street and Laurel Street. Todd continued to go into the field at the corner of Laurel Street and Plum Street. Todd continued riding his bike northbound through the field until officers began driving through the field. At that point, Todd got off the bike and lay on the ground to surrender.
Todd was then detained in handcuffs, which were double locked and gap checked. While officers were detaining Todd, he stated he did not know we were chasing him, even though throughout the pursuit, I was in such close proximity to Todd that it would be highly unlikely that he did not hear my siren or see my emergency lights. Todd was searched incidentally, and while searching him, multiple hypodermic needles were located on his person. I advised Todd of his Miranda Rights. While searching Todd, he advised officers that he had taken a bunch of fentanyl.
Todd’s backpack, which he was wearing, had to be cut off at the straps.
Todd’s warrant was confirmed by GPD Dispatch. P. O. Ward and I began escorting Todd to my police cruiser. Once seated in the backseat of my police cruiser, Todd began showing signs of a drug overdose and started to become unresponsive. I requested Greenville Rescue to respond to treat Todd. While they were en route to our location, Todd began to go unresponsive. P. 0. Ward administered 4 MG of NARCAN into his nose.
Officers searched the backpack Todd had been carrying and a hatchet was located inside. This hatchet was transported to the Greenville Police Department and placed into property for safekeeping due to Todd being on parole and unable to have any types of weapons.
Once Greenville Rescue arrived, paramedics advised that they believed Todd needed to be transported to Wayne Health Care. Todd’s handcuffs were removed and he was handcuffed in the front.
April 16, 2026 – At approximately 2321 hours, I responded to 224 Anderson Avenue in the City of Greenville to serve a misdemeanor arrest warrant.
Upon the officer’s arrival, we knocked on the front door and a male voice began yelling down to us from an upstairs window. While speaking with this subject through the open window, I was able to positively identify James Swindler. I advised James to come downstairs and talk to us on the porch. James complied and was placed under arrest and into handcuffs that were gap-checked and double-locked.
James was searched incident to arrest with nothing located. Dispatch confirmed the ‘failure to appear on the original charge of drug paraphernalia’ misdemeanor warrant through our department, with a bond of $1,225.
I then transported James to the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, where he was released to jail staff. The backseat of cruiser 1944 was checked prior to and after transport.
