BEREA, Ohio --

Noise disturbance: Beeler Drive

A Beeler man, 47, was cited at about 8 p.m. Dec. 2 for allowing his dog to bark outside and disturb neighbors.

Someone reported that the dog had been barking for about 45 minutes. When police arrived, they heard the dog barking and howling in the backyard.

Police knocked on the man’s door. The man flung the door open and, using a profanity, asked police if they were joking. He slammed the door on police.

The man eventually opened the door again. Police advised the man to invite the dog into the house for the night. He was reluctant. When police asked the man if he would leave the dog outside all night, the man said, “All night long.”

When police handed the man a citation, he initially refused to sign. He asked police to look up the law online. He complained that police had knocked on his door too loudly, yet they were “exhumed” from punishment. The man made farting noises as police returned to their cruiser.

Criminal mischief: Beech Street

A Beech resident called police at about 2 a.m. Nov. 27 and said a group of teenage boys had just egged his house.

The resident said he was lying in bed when he heard noise outside. He stepped outside and saw the boys across the street, standing near the doorway of a home. The resident had experienced past problems with this particular home, where the teenage children threw loud parties when their mother wasn’t there, which was often.

The resident exchanged words with the teenage boys and returned to his house. He then heard something hit his house, so he ran outside again. The boys had thrown several eggs at his house and were driving away.

Police questioned a teenage girl in the house across the street. She said she knew nothing of the incident nor of the boys, adding that she and a friend were in the house by themselves watching TV. Police noticed that her house also had been egged. Police called the girl’s mother but didn’t reach her.

Police had stopped the car on East Bagley near Tressel Street after noticing that the license plate sticker had expired in April. The driver, who was the 19-year-old, was not carrying a driver’s license.
