Jefferson County sheriff
Drinking: A Mingo Junction man was concerned after he and his wife celebrated her birthday at a Weirton bowling alley, Friday. He said they’d been “drinking vodka heavily” and he got concerned when she didn’t wake up. When officers arrived at the residence the woman was awake and told them she was intoxicated but fine otherwise.
Harsh: An officer was dispatched to a Cross Creek township residence after a woman dialed 911 but then told the dispatcher she was fine and hung up, Thursday. The female told the deputy she and her boyfriend were arguing, and she got scared, but would not go into detail about why. The couple told the officer they’d been drinking throughout the evening “and had been arguing back and forth for the past couple hours.”
