HARASSMENT: At 1:06 p.m. officers were dispatched to the Greenville Police Department in reference to a harassment complaint. The female victim advised that around midnight of that day, she was at a friend’s residence in the 500 block of Swetizer Street when the suspect, Jase Blocher, followed her to the residence and began yelling at her out of his vehicle window. She advised they do have a one-year-old daughter together, but she advised the daughter was not with her at the time; therefore, he didn’t have a reason to follow her. She advised police had trespassed him from the residence, and she did not feel safe knowing he was around. It was advised Blocher had sent her death threats for her and her current boyfriend before he deleted them from the chat. Officers were able to get the messages from her apple watch, as messages do not delete from the watch unless she deletes them. The female victim advised she no longer feels safe with the messages he sent her and photos of the messages were taken to be put into the case file. Blocher was issued a citation for telecommunications harassment.

PURSUIT: At 3:16 p.m. officers from the Greenville Police Department were dispatched to the 1500 block of Wagner Avenue after receiving multiple calls regarding a disorderly subject driving a black Chevy Suburban. After the initial dispatch, officers traveling southbound on S. Broadway Street approaching the traffic circle observed the suspect vehicle driving around the circle honking its horn. Officers pulled in behind the vehicle and followed it around the circle a couple of times before getting stopped at the light at E. Main Street and Walnut Street. The vehicle disregarded all attempts to make a traffic stop and continued eastbound. The driver was identified as Kirt Kiser who proceeded to stick his left arm out the drivers side window and begin flipping the officers off. Kiser continued northbound on Wagner Avenue and ran a steady red light that was heavily populated with motor vehicles. Once through he turned into the China Garden parking lot and into Taco Bell. He exited the parking lot and headed head on towards a cruiser, causing the officer to swerve out of his line of travel to avoid contact. Kiser ran another red light and continued southbound on Wagner Avenue where he then ran another red light. While continuing on Wagner, he began waving at all the cars that were pulled over for the emergency traffic. He reached the traffic circle and continued onto W. Main Street. He stopped for a moment to let his mother out of the vehicle at Ft. Jefferson Avenue before immediately continuing eastbound on Sherman Street. Kiser finished the pursuit in the loading area of the Emergency Room of Wayne Hospital where he intentionally reversed into the drivers side of the patrol car causing it to be inoperable. After striking the patrol car, he pulled forward and intentionally struck another patrol car on the passenger side making it inoperable as well. Kiser proceeded to hit a cement pillar, breaking it completely off the sidewalk and then drove through a plastic barricade that the hospital had set up. He then began traveling eastbound across Central Avenue and down Martz Street where the pursuit was taken over by other officers.

PURSUIT: At 7:08 p.m. officers on patrol observed Linda Bruss operating a Chevrolet Trailblazer westbound on the 500 block of Union Street. Bruss’ driving privileges were under an active suspension due to a hit skip/leaving the scene offense, so officers attempted to make a traffic stop. Upon activation of the emergency lights, Bruss accelerated to high speeds, continuing westbound. She was observed crossing the center-line and passing a vehicle at the intersection of OH-571W and White Springs Drive, at a high rate of speed.

JUVENILE COMPLAINT: Officers were dispatched to the 900 block of Wayne Avenue in reference to a juvenile complaint. Through investigation it was found that the female juvenile is a ward of the state of Ohio, and her guardian said police have already been at the house twice before due to the juvenile being unruly. They have taken the juvenile to the hospital for a possible hand injury from her striking the wall, and the guardian said once they got home from being released, the juvenile became unruly again by thrashing around. The guardian was scared the juvenile was going to hurt herself again as she had struck a railing and the walls again. Officers observed the juvenile in an extremely agitated state, and she was refusing to calm down stating officers should “arrest her or put her on probation.” Officers transported the juvenile to Wayne HealthCare for a psych evaluation where she fought officers and kicked the emergency door off its track making it inoperable. Wayne HealthCare is doing a full assessment of the damages and will be contacting police to advise if they want to pursue charges or not.
