MISC COMPLAINT: Officers responded to the 1100 block of E. Russ Road on a complaint of Arsenic poisoning at 4:48 p.m. The female complainant advised she had arsenic on her hands and patio. The female does not reside at the residence, but she had been staying there for a few days. The female advised she had been poisoned for five years. Previous reports showed officers swabbed her hands in 2022, and there were no controlled substances found. Medical reports attached to the same police report did show she had elevated levels of arsenic. Swabs of the female’s hands and patio were taken. This investigation is ongoing.

SEX OFFENSE: A female with the Darke County Sheriff’s Office sex registry reported that a known male registered a false address. The suspect, Patrick Flint, is required to register his address as a sex offender and has failed to do so.

March 4

THEFT: At 4:50 p.m. officers on routine patrol were flagged over in the parking lot at the 5000 block of State Route 49. The male advised he recently had a tan Carhart jacket stolen from his home, and he suspects the female he had hired to clean his home had taken it. The suspect was contacted, and she told officers she and the victim had been in a dating relationship. The suspect advised she did wear the jacket on Thursday and the male was with her while she was wearing it. On March 7, officers were called to keep the peace while the male went to retrieve his jacket. The jacket was located in the room where the suspect previously stayed. Due to time frames not matching, and the possibility of a relationship between the two when the jacket was possibly taken, there will not be charging the female for theft.
