CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Chillicothe police officers responded to a series of calls across the city on January 26, ranging from traffic violations and weather-related incidents to reported thefts and an assault investigation, according to the Chillicothe Police Department’s daily media report.
Late in the morning, officers were dispatched to an apartment on University Drive to assist the Chillicothe Fire Department on a medical call. The incident was later classified as a misuse of the 9-1-1 system, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Around the same time, police conducted multiple traffic stops throughout the city, including on West Main Street near Walnut Street and on South Paint Street near Main Street. Violations cited included expired plates, suspended licenses, and toy vehicles being operated on city streets.
