After receiving a report of a car traveling erratically on the freeway at 7:30 p.m. May 6, an officer located it and signaled it to pull over.
The Cleveland Heights driver, 43, was driving at varied slow speeds and weaving across her lane. She ignored the patrol car lights and siren at first, then eventually pulled over, striking a guardrail, which stopped the car.
She explained that she was singing in the car and that is what caused her poor driving.
She failed field sobriety tests and refused to take a breath test. She was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, not driving in marked lanes and with a second-offense refusal to take a breath test after a prior OVI offense.
Police cited the driver, 19, of a rental van with failure to control the vehicle at 3:50 p.m. May 7 after it crashed into a ditch.
The driver said a car in front of him had stopped suddenly and he swerved to avoid hitting it.
His three passengers were cited for having open containers of alcoholic beverages. One passenger was cited for having marijuana. The driver showed no signs of impairment. All four men were from Connecticut.
Police are investigating a 2 p.m. May 5 incident that was reported shortly before 5 p.m. that day by Old Navy employees.
Two women were seen taking merchandise and stuffing it into an oversized purse. Video footage confirmed this. The women were also seen cutting off electronic sensors on clothing items. A total of 17 items valued at $337.83 was stolen, primarily children’s and baby clothes.
Similar theft reports were made at Solon and Mentor stores.
Two women entered Dick’s at 10:45 a.m. May 2. They selected Nike apparel, draped dozens of pieces of clothing over their arms and walked out of the store. Police are reviewing videotape of the incident.
An officer on patrol stopped a vehicle for having expired temporary license tags after it exited the U.S. 422 freeway at 7:15 p.m. May 3.
The Cleveland driver, 20, did not have a license to drive. He was cited for those offenses.
The officer smelled marijuana. During a search, the officer found three packages of marijuana in a bag. A passenger in the car, a Cleveland man, 19, admitted that it was his and was cited for marijuana possession.
