CIRCLEVILLE, OH — July 23, 2025 — The Circleville Police Department had a busy day on July 22, responding to a wide range of incidents across the city. From well-being checks and traffic stops to domestic disturbances and fire calls, officers logged a total of 43 calls for service within a 24-hour period.
The day began shortly after midnight with a traffic stop on South Pickaway Street, where a warning was issued. Multiple extra patrols were conducted throughout the early morning hours on streets including North Court, Franklin, Logan, Pontious Lane, and U.S. Route 23, all of which were found to be secure.
A vehicle repossession was reported on Walnut Street around 3:23 a.m., and a citation was issued following a traffic stop on South Washington Street shortly thereafter.
Well-being checks were a recurring concern throughout the day. Notably, officers responded to multiple calls involving possible suicide threats on West Mound Street, with one report taken and one incident where the individual was gone on arrival. A separate well-being check on Alma Avenue led to a squad transporting someone to the hospital.
Later in the day, officers responded to a non-injury crash on North Pickaway Street, reports of harassment and threats on the same street, and multiple theft reports—one from South Court Street and another on U.S. 23 South. Domestic issues were reported on both U.S. Route 23 and Gumm Place, and a violation of a protection order was logged on Clark Drive.
The department also assisted with fire-related calls, including mutual aid requested by the Circleville Fire Department on Long Street and a fire incident on Lancaster Pike.
Police handled several calls related to the city’s homeless population, 911 hang-ups, a disabled vehicle, and various property damage or civil process concerns. One call on Dunkel Road resulted in a property damage report, while another on Clark Drive involved information about a protection order violation.
Despite the variety and volume of incidents, many calls resulted in positive outcomes, including multiple well-being checks that were resolved without further action and several reports where individuals were found safe or situations had de-escalated by the time officers arrived.
The Circleville Police Department continues its commitment to public safety through timely responses, preventative patrols, and community support across all areas of the city.
