Suspected heroin user found slumped over in car with foot on brake
DAYTON - A 25-year-old man is facing a felony drug possession charge after officers and paramedics found him slumped over his running car’s steering wheel at a stop sign Thursday, Nov. 19.
Christopher Moats told officers he injected heroin into his body and then must have passed out while driving, according to a police report.
His car was in drive when paramedics arrived, but his foot was on the brake, keeping the vehicle from moving, the report stated.
Officers found capsules in the car that contained heroin and one empty capsule, the report stated. Moats was taken to Montgomery County Jail on a felony drug possession charge and his car was impounded, the report stated.
He told officers on the way to jail he needed help with his heroin addiction, the report stated.
TweetAlleged drug dealer tells police he was helping Girl Scouts
DAYTON - Task force agents with the Community Initiative to Reduce Gun Violence said they foiled a drug deal for Vicodin pills Thursday, Nov. 19, and made a more surprising discovery while searching the alleged seller’s SUV.
The Dayton Police officers were patrolling the area of 2000 Needmore Road about 7 p.m. when they noticed Lacory Adams’ SUV parked near a sedan belonging to another man, according to a police report.
Adams was bent over, leaning on the other man’s car window, when officers pulled up to ask the men questions, the report stated.
Adams said he was selling the man 20 Vicodin pills for $50 and was selling drugs to help his daughter’s Girl Scouts troop, the report stated.
He gave officers consent to search his SUV, where they found a loaded 9-millimeter handgun with seven rounds, including one in the chamber, the report stated.
Adams, 28, said he and his girlfriend bought the gun at a recent “gun and knife show” for protection, the report stated.
The other man, 31, told the officers he needed the pills because he has back problems, the report stated. Both of the suspects’ cars were towed, and the men were taken to Montgomery County Jail.
Adams faces felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and drug trafficking. The second man was later released from jail without charges being filed.
TweetHospital security helps arrest man who stole purse from pregnant patient
DAYTON - A Miami Valley Hospital security officer helped arrest a man who was seen walking near the hospital with a black purse belonging to an expectant mother at the hospital.
The officer noticed Richano V. Fisher, 34, carrying the bag about 2:45 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, and approached the man, asking what he was doing with the purse, according to a police report.
Fisher, who lives at 500 Bowie Drive, said he was getting the purse for his “baby’s momma” and was walking back to the hospital to give it to her, the report stated. The security officer asked Fisher to look inside the purse and noticed the identification inside belonged to a different woman, the report stated.
The officer determined the purse belonged a patient at the hospital and called Dayton Police officers to assist him with detaining Fisher, the report stated.
Inside the hospital, Dayton officers found the owner of the purse, who said it went missing about 11 p.m. after she and her husband fell asleep in her room, the report stated.
The woman’s husband, who declined to be named, said his wife was in the maternity ward at the hospital and Fisher came in while they were sleeping. He said they didn’t notice anyone come in the room and were shocked when hospital security notified them of the theft.
Hospital spokeswoman Nancy Thickel said she was checking into the incident about 1:30 p.m. and would release any details she could later this afternoon.
Outside Fisher became combative with officers, who transported him to Montgomery County Jail. Fisher is expected to appear in court Friday, Nov. 20, on a felony charge of receiving stolen property, according to jail records.
Court and jail records show Fisher is a habitual offender with numerous arrests for domestic violence, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and aggravated robbery.
