CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio – The Circleville Police Department responded to a busy day of incidents on July 1, 2025, addressing 45 calls ranging from thefts and parking complaints to a traffic accident and well-being checks, according to their daily media report.
A notable incident occurred at 8:48 AM on US 23, where Circleville Police assisted another agency with a two-vehicle crash involving injuries. The department requested support from Circleville City EMS and the Circleville Fire Department (CFD). A report was taken, though details of the crash were handled by another agency, likely the Ohio State Highway Patrol, as indicated in related records.
Theft reports were prevalent throughout the day, particularly on E Franklin St and S Court St. At 7:17 PM, 7:46 PM, and 9:08 PM, police filed reports for theft incidents on E Franklin St. Similarly, a theft in progress on S Court St at 7:46 PM led to a report, while another theft call on Lancaster Pk at 9:36 PM did not require one. A found property report was also filed at 9:26 PM on S Pickaway St, suggesting a potential link to the theft activity.
Police responded to several 911 hang-up calls, with incidents at 8:22 AM, 11:29 AM, 1:53 PM, and 5:23 PM, all resolved as either accidental or checked okay. Well-being checks were conducted on Brookhaven Pl at 8:41 AM and S Court St at 8:10 PM, with the former resulting in the subject being gone on arrival and the latter cleared as okay. A well-being check on Hayward St at 2:38 PM was also cleared without issue.
Extra patrols were frequent, with checks on N Court St, E Mound St, E High St, Shagbark St, Logan St, and other areas, most of which were deemed okay. However, patrols on E Main St at 12:51 AM and an unspecified location at 11:50 AM resulted in subjects being gone on arrival or unable to be located.
A burglary was reported at 11:51 AM on S Court St, with a report taken. Parking complaints on Watt St at 11:44 AM and Sumpter Ave at 12:45 PM led to a report and information obtained, respectively, with the latter also involving a threats/harassment complaint and a homeless person. A traffic stop on E Mound St at 11:25 AM resulted in a warning issued, and a traffic jam on Kingston Pk at 12:50 PM was noted but required no report.
Other incidents included a juvenile complaint on S Main St at 12:20 AM, handled by another agency, and a domestic trouble call on E Corwin St at 3:38 PM, which did not require a report. Fire-related mutual aid requests to CFD were logged on Gay-Dreisbach Rd at 4:22 PM (cleared) and at 7:31 PM (canceled before arrival). Suspicious activity calls on Pontious Ln at 10:16 PM and 11:02 PM were either cleared or unresolved due to the subject being gone on arrival. A warrant service attempt on Crites Rd at 10:44 PM also failed to locate the individual.
The Circleville Police Department’s swift response to these diverse incidents reflects their ongoing efforts to maintain public safety. No further details were provided in the report, and investigations into reported crimes, such as the thefts and burglary, are ongoing.
