CHILLICOTHE, OH — July 6, 2025 — Chillicothe Police were kept busy Saturday, July 5, responding to a range of incidents across the city, including assaults, thefts, drug possession, and fireworks-related damage.
The day began just after 1:00 a.m., when officers responded to Adams Avenue for a reported assault. A report was taken and the case remains under investigation.
Later that morning, police were called to 407 Schreiner Avenue for property damage, and at 12:02 p.m., officers checked on a welfare concern at the Executive Inn on North Bridge Street.
Shortly after, a call to Mill Street led to a report of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, as a subject reportedly interfered with officers during an incident.
Several thefts were reported throughout the afternoon:
