CIRCLEVILLE — Circleville police were dispatched to 36 incidents on April 29, responding to a mix of traffic stops, juvenile complaints, fire reports, and a neighbor dispute, according to the department’s daily call-for-service log.
The day began just after midnight with two routine traffic stops on South Pickaway and South Court streets, neither of which resulted in formal reports. A suspicious person on Town Street around 2:20 a.m. was gone before officers arrived.
A mutual aid request for a fire on State Route 56 was canceled before crews arrived. Later in the morning, officers cleared an animal-related call on East Main Street and responded to additional suspicious activity involving a vehicle and person on Pontious Lane — both of whom were also gone on arrival.
Unruly juvenile behavior prompted two separate calls — one on Walnut Street that required no report and another on Edwards Road, where a report was taken. A downed line on Pleasant Street was handled with a warning, and vehicle repossessions were reported on Gumm Place and Faye Avenue.
Threats and harassment were reported on Walnut Street and South Court Street but did not lead to police reports. Officers also responded to a parking complaint on Collins Court, a fire on Meadow Lane (report taken), and another fire-related call on Garden Parkway.
Other notable responses included:
- An alarm drop on Northridge Road and a well-being check on Third Avenue, both of which checked out fine.
- A railroad-related complaint on West Mound Street referred to another agency.
- Multiple civil papers served in the evening on Lancaster Pike, York Street, and South Court Street.
- A 911 hang-up call on Walnut Street linked to a vehicle fire — a report was taken.
- The day ended with a neighbor trouble complaint on Watt Street just before midnight, which did result in a report.
While several cases involved outside agencies or were deemed non-criminal, the day’s incidents reflect the department’s ongoing role in addressing everything from routine checks to community disputes and emergency responses.
